KEVIN PERKINS


Kevin Perkins is one of those anglers who sees the funny side of everything, and there are plenty of funny goings-on in fishing. But not everybody is able to convey the funny and often quirky nature of fishing. But Kevin can. He's the Alternative Angler who sees that side of things that most of us miss because we're too busy going about the serious business of catching fish and often missing the satire and laughs along the way.

Never mind smelling the flowers, don't forget to take time out to see the satirical side of fishing life and grab a laugh along the way as well. So here's a regular column from Kevin Perkins to remind us that life is for laughing at, or taking the p*** out of, whenever we can.

See below for a full archive of Kevin's Alternative Angler.
