I think most of us could recount something along those lines in our early days of fishing.
I know I received many tips in my youth, but one that stands out clearly for me back in the sixties was given to me by a great angler by the name of ''Steve Crawshaw''. Steve urged me to invest in a pair of polarized glasses, as he was adamant that they would be a great asset whilst Barbel/Chub fishing on the Yorkshire rivers. Little did I realise what impact they were to make on my results, both in locating and catching many Barbel and Chub, and need I say Pike.
Hardly surprising then that I was christened ''The man with no eyes'' as I've never been without them since that day.
