VPN's change your location & your IP address. I am of the personal opinion, that anyone who needs to visit this forum by changing their identity, are simply not here for any good reasons whatsoever.

Agree 100%

We have received an incredible number of messages over the past week on our work mobile, from both CF members & CF watchers as guests. Thank you all so much. I'll write the same thing here, as has been replied to so many of those messages. The moment VPN's are blocked on this forum, allowing people to have multiple users (even after being banned over & over again) I will be straight back. Until that time, it's just untenable for me to be here sadly. I don't like the other forms of social media for my own personal use. I much prefer this forum. Being sport for absolute dinlos on here is no fun though.

VPN's change your location & your IP address. I am of the personal opinion, that anyone who needs to visit this forum by changing their identity, are simply not here for any good reasons whatsoever. Over the past few years it has become like a sport for certain people (previously banned members) with far too much time on their hands to have multiple users on here. But that's just my opinion, it's not my forum, I'm just a member… I can't block VPN's.

The post below is on our Facebook page. The below also applies to anyone on here. From as little as a fiver donation you could win some very exclusive hook baits from us.

A real Donald Leney special.

This is Colin Hunt. Many of you may well know Colin, he's been around the big carp scene for a very long time now. I know Col from Roach Pit, more than a decade ago. I was so saddened to hear recently that he has suffered from a number of debilitating strokes over the past few years. In 2022 Colin suffered back to back strokes. In July 2025 he had yet another really bad stroke. He now suffers from memory loss, epilepsy and has facial paralysis because of it all. He's a real fighter though and he keeps bouncing back! If you search on Facebook for Catchforcol you will find a group set up by his friends to promote a fish-in that is happening on Manor & St Johns on the 27th March. Raffle tickets are being sold to raise money for the Stroke Association on behalf of Colin. So many great prizes from carp fishing companies across the board. Lots of famous anglers attending the event, from Ian Russell to Lewis Read and so many more. You will find all of the prizes on the Catchforcol page, from numerous large tackle and bait firms. Along with many exclusive auctions for some incredible donations. From one off paintings of Terry Hearn holding Bazil, to lake exclusives on some incredible pits. Signed books from the likes of Tom Bankes and Micky Gray, signed tackle from the likes of team Korda. Solar Tackle even donated a motorised barrow to help Colin to get back out fishing. The list is endless. We sent a donation of £350 of our hook baits for the raffle for Colin, along with a TackleBox CFX take apart 12m baiting pole, with extensions taking it up to 20m. Float, spoon and all of the accessories needed. Kindly donated by Gary Peet of the TackleBox. Lots of Col's friends have donated large sums of cash and amazing prizes for the raffle/auctions. Any other company that would like to donate, see the Catchforcol page on Facebook to contact Colin & friends directly.
Anyone who makes a donation on the JustGiving link below of £5 or more, please add your full name on the JustGiving page. Then post 'done' in the comments of this post. We will pick out a winner at the end of the month at random and send them £200 worth of any of our newest hook baits of your choice, on next day delivery. Or if you want something else a little bit more exclusive from us... Sticky Krill? Mainline Cell? DNA Bug? We will look right after you! The more multiples of £5 your donation contains, the more entries you receive. All proceeds from the event go directly to the Stroke Association.

The fish Colin is holding here is a fifty plus year old true Oxfordshire Leney, caught by Col just last week. There's only a very tiny handful of these incredible old fish left in the entire country now. We sent Col a couple of extra tubs of our hook baits to use for himself at the event after our donation. First trip out with them on the pit he is currently fishing, Col caught this incredible old Leney carp on a Fizz S2. It's hard to put into words the joy this capture has brought to Colin. He's finally back out on the bank doing exactly what he loves.

Please make a donation on the link below if you can afford to. The Stroke Association are helping people like Colin every single day.

Again, thank you for the kind words. It's all good, life moves on.

Better to end this thread from me with some happy faces... Not posts about sad old internet blokes, with mental health issues and broken lives as per the last few posts.

Better to end it on this.

Albi is only five years old. Albi absolutely loves carp fishing. It makes him smile, a lot (apart from when scaly's slap him around the mooey like in the bottom pic).

That's what it is really all about. Those happy faces.

shame - don't blame you. Life's too short to waste on arguing with morons. Hope you are still able to post the odd story/bait tips on here from time to time. Or maybe just write a book!!

Crying shame for the forum Mark . Fully respect your wishes. Good luck in everything you do in the future. And a massive thanks from me for everything that you've done in making my dreams come true with some of the fish I have caught. All of which have been down to using your hookbaits. Cheers

I suppose you're right in that respect. Just a shame the a***holes couldn't be stopped somehow.

Sorry to hear this Mark, truly a sad day for the forum, Your contributions have been invaluable to so many on here. I guess you've been so close to pulling the plug many times but finally decided enough is enough.
The trolls will suffer the most though as their envy will continue to eat them up from inside even more now you've removed their means of venting it.
All the best fella ðŸ‘

Thank you for the kind words. It means so much.

They can win this small battle. I don't care. The war is what you win in real life, not the pathetic little battles in the shadows of the internet. That is pure children's stuff. I have too much going on with SHB to waste my time on these losers. Blokes who have far too much time on their hands, all day, everyday. I don't have their endless time. This has gone on ever since the very first days I joined this forum. It's literally never stopped. That's many years now. It was going on for Karl and the forum long before I was ever here. Same blokes. Constant sly digs in the background trying to get a rise. Right up to all out pure nasty spite. But it's got so much worse, the better we are outwardly seen to be doing over the last couple of years. That in itself shows absolutely everything, what this is really all about. It's a level of obsession that defies normal logic. It's a level of obsession that shows some very serious mental illness. It's just spineless, bat **** crazy blokes on the internet. I am so very public, our phone number is available to all. But I would never hear from these people in real life. Not once. Not ever. Because that's real, with end consequence. They live in the shadows of the internet where they stupidly actually believe that there is no real life consequences for them. It's a comfort blanket for them, because it's not real. They can portray something to the world which they are not in real life. When you actually find out how sad their pitiful existence is in real life, all becomes absolutely crystal clear. Sadly they thrive off of the anonymity which they can get here under numerous fake profiles. That's why they are so completely obsessed with here. They are here right now. They live on the other smaller forums constantly too, but know that no one is looking, or gives a monkeys. So they do what they do here, over and over again. They just don't get my attention which they crave so much anymore online.

As far as me being able to be on here, it's just not for the best of either the forum, or me anymore. These people are absolutely obsessed with this place sadly. They can't walk away. No matter how many times they get banned or told no over and over again by Karl. I am not obsessed whatsoever. I can walk away from here in a heartbeat, that's exactly what I will have to do now. It's really for the best for everyone.

It's okay. Like I said, the most incredible things are happening for SHB going forwards. I need to concentrate solely on that. I have just realised today, that this craziness regarding here, it is never going to stop. That's all. So I'll just have to walk away from here. The exact thing, which they have never been able to do.

I wish all of you the very best in the future, I really do.

A real shame Mark. Hopefully one day you'll feel like making a return. Gleamed plenty of info over the years that you've posted. Take care of yourself and keep doing what you're doing. The trolls will never achieve what you have.

P.s. can you maybe just post the odd tip now and again?!

Sorry to hear that this maybe the last time you post. The various nuggets of information you have posted on this site over the years has certainly helped me catch more fish. When the grief you get outweighs your enjoyment on this site then fair playâ¤ï¸
