Malc,
Couldnt agree more,
The best form of fishing I have ever experienced and favourite to this day, is light line stick float trotting on the Trent for chub,roach or even barbel.
The fight, with the fish aided by the current on 2 1/2 lb hook length is something else.
Light waggler for Tench, Unbelieveable!
Long range Waggler with 'off your box Strikes' for Bream! Superb!
1/2 oz lead winkling bream on the tip, Magic!
Free lining worm/meat/wasp grub Chub/Barbel exciting!
The satisfaction over the precision of placing a Pole float on a sixpence AND knowing that floats gonna dip! Gratifying
The buzz from the buzzer on a Pike or Carp Run, Orgasmic!!
Cometh the day, Cometh the method and I have only covered 10%
Dont knock the enjoyment of that greatest prize,ENJOYING what youre doing!
As the Monk said to the Rabbi, 'I think your stupid for not eating Pork. Have you ever tried it?'
'Once' the Priest replied, 'But I think youre stupid for not sleeping with women, Have you ever tried that?'
'Well yes , once' said the Monk sheepishly.
'Better than damn Pork aint it' said the Rabbi!
Each to his own fellers lol (and perhaps for Waxi, its always SHEEPISHLY!)
Cheers
