What's all the fuss about? ;o)

Just been fishing for the first time ever, with a 4m whip that cost 6 euro
(approx £4 I think). Simple set up with one maggot.

Caught 25 Rudd in 1 hr....so what's the fuss about...this fishing lark is
easy! ;o)

LOL....however the OH is a specimen hunter so I _do_ totally understand the
traumas, stresses & organisation required to fish for the *big* one...
The whip was his idea. I fancied having a go at this fishing lark..but
didn't want to faff with reels etc. I suggested pole fishing, because it
looked dead simple. He bought me the whip..so I could get half an idea of
this 'pole' lark...the whip would be cheaper to discard if I decided I
didn't like this sport after all....

Can't imagine every fishing day will be as fruitful...but I enjoyed my first
time immensely nonetheless... ;o)
