and too bloody pious. if the guy wants to fish the far bank, so be it. his
choice. if he wants to phone his wife, his choice. if he wants to read when
fishing, his choice. if someone else wants to lie in a bivvy waiting for the
alarm to go, his choice.

i'd, personally, rather eat worms than fish a match - 4 hours trying to
winkle a three inch fish out of a near-frozen canal isn't for me, but have
you seen what those lads can do with groundbait, fine hooklengths etc. it's
their choice, and we can all learn from what they do. this pointless
slagging of people who don't fish the same way you do is becoming an
over-worn motif of this group. just doesn't happen in the sea group.
