In Pursuit of the Largest

Product Information

Also included are tales and footage from Oxfordshire's Big S, the Test Valley's Nutsey, The Big Pit, The Lea Valleys Relief Channel, Sonning Eye, Linch Hill's Christchurch, Longfield's Road Lake, and of course, the mighty Burghfield, near Reading, home to one of the most prized and elusive commons in the country. All that and more; well over three hours of precious archive footage for the price of a round of drinks...that's got to be good value. The remaining ~60% of EU emissions not covered by the ETS were previously covered by the Effort Sharing Regulation ( ESR ). In complement to the ETS, which takes a market-based approach to reduce emissions, the ESR sets differentiated binding national level targets for emission reductions based on the gross domestic product (GDP) per capita. ETS and ESR are arguably more highly integrated under Fit for 55, with certain sectors now covered by both instruments, for example, buildings and transport. Revision of the ESR has seen the level of ambition increased from 30% to 40%, relative to 2005 levels. I loved reading every single word of it and it made me feel as though I was part of the big carp scene and could catch a record beater even though I never fish the big carp waters and there aren’t that many big fish up north! I’m in absolute awe of Terry’s achievements. He’s the Alan Shearer of the fishing world and is (if not already) becoming an angling icon that youngsters look up to.

The fact that this guy is prepared to strip off and wade in to look at something that might not even be a fish shows his commitment to the pursuit of specimen fish! From the climate emergency to armed conflict and poverty and inequality to lawless cyberspace, and the uneven recovery from COVID-19, she also pointed out that terrorism is converging with other threats. Home of the world record Mirror at over 82 lbs, home for one the biggest Commons known on earth (in fact the biggest carp caught in 2001) at over 73 lbs, lots of fifties, sixties …need I go on ?? I had to have some of that !!If well executed, transcending a traditional silo-specific approach to drive decarbonisation from an integrated perspective could help to amplify the scope of each individual measure, creating an ‘eco-system’ of mutually reinforcing climate policies. Nevertheless, it remains to be seen how effective this approach will be in practice, and there is certainly scope for the interdependencies of the policies to manifest in challenges and failures. There are only a couple of criticisms that I can raise that is in the Rig Talk chapter Terry doesn’t detail his bait ingredients. I know he mentions his favourite chocolate malt flavoured birdfood boilies and his deadly monster pursuit baits but we mere mortals want to emulate Terry and if he gave us the precise details of flavours and their inclusion levels we could get a bit closer. The challenge belongs to us all. Countering international terrorism requires effective multilateral responses”, she flagged.

In closing, the Deputy Secretary-General welcomed the planned October 2023 Summit on counterterrorism in Africa as an opportunity to consider ways to strengthen the UN’s efforts across the continent overall.

Finally, Ms. Mohamed called for “sustained and predictable funding” to prevent and counter terrorism. Before I re-read the book I had an impression in my mind that the guest chapters were a bit weak and detracted from the rest of the book. However, on re-reading them I can safely say that they’re fine, although a couple are on the short side or perhaps not as well written as the rest of the book. I particularly enjoyed the chapters from Paul Forward and Lewis Read. I was gripped by Lewis’s story as his time to capture the biggie slowly ran out. Although, I’m sure I’m not spoiling the story but letting you know he triumphs just in time. The stakeholder consultation for the revised ESR revealed concerns that moving sectors from ESR to ETS would fail to support solutions to non-market challenges as well as potentially reduce pressure at the national level to drive emission reductions. Within this context, FSR supports the European Commission’s approach to leveraging the complementarity of different mechanisms to maximise emission reductions by covering key sectors under both ESR and ETS. Moreover, the FSR encourages the EU to continue pushing for climate accountability through its’ enforcement powers to ensure compliance with new ambitious targets. One legislative amendment that has been attracting considerable interest in recent months is the Renewable Energy Directive ( RED ). The RED sets a target for the level of renewable energy in the overall EU energy mix, as well as defining which energy sources can be considered ‘renewable’ and therefore contribute to the target. The previous RED set a target of 32% renewable energy by 2030, under the Fit for 55 amendments this share has increased to 40%. No wind as such to speak of, and with forecast temperatures of as low as zero at night and over thirty degrees centigrade in the day, conditions were not carpy. In fact, they were damn right uncarpy, way too hot and the water subsequently like a millpond virtually every day.

After dropping four markers at varying depths and varying ranges, recording everything in the log, it was time to bang in a bit of bait. Bait was Mainline Grange Red, Maize and a Mainline Hemp Pellets, a very inviting combination. I did have 25 lbs of chopped tigers sent to Romania too, however they failed to get there for one reason or another. Make do with the Maize Chris, I had no other choice ! Undeterred, I put in 3 kilos of the above mix in around every marker to start with.Noting “complex links between terrorism, patriarchy and gender-based violence”, she said counter-terrorism policies needed to be “strengthened by the meaningful participation and leadership of women and girls”. I was truly gripped by both Terry’s knowledge and passion for carp fishing and by the way he expressed his captures. I have now decided to add wanting to spend a days fishing with Terry Hearn, so I can witness the master in action, to my list of ambitions of playing for Preston North End (that’s well and truly gone), running the London Marathon and owning a house with a lake. In fact, spending a days fishing with Terry will probably be the easiest of the four to achieve, however hard it is! First job, after we’d been dropped off by boat at the swim, was to get out with the echo sounder and see what we had in front of us. With a mile of bank space for just Joe and I, there was a lot of rowing to be done !! I found a very sexy plateau, ranging in depth from 10 feet at it’s edge dropping sharply to 27 feet. Very carpy, just had to be the spot. For a holistic, comprehensive approach, the deputy UN chief cited the New Agenda for Peace – part of the Our Common Agenda report. The US, China, and other third countries have already signaled concerns about this proposal, and the EU will have to be careful to ensure compatibility with World Trade Organisation (WTO) rules, for example as regards free ETS allocations. Nevertheless, the FSR believes that CBAM is an important step in supporting the competitiveness of key EU sectors, vulnerable to carbon leakage.

Far from being Hollywood, much of the footage is amateur, home-video style, taken from several different cameras over a long period of time. It’s quite often shot hands-free, and sometimes not in the greatest conditions for filming, but then this is what makes it so real. Chairing the meeting with his country assuming the presidency of the Council for November, Ghanaian President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, attested to the importance of restoring effective State authority and promoting inclusive governance across the continent. He also urged the Council to support AU-led counter-terror operations, including with predictable funding. From economic deprivation to organized crime and governance challenges, “the magnitude of the problem calls for bold investment”, she told ambassadors.Making the decision of where we were going to fish the night before had been a difficult one. I had obviously done a lot of homework on the known areas, read, re-read and watched the video. OK, so you shouldn’t have pre conceived ideas, fair enough, but you have to start somewhere on 2500 acres.
