I have had an argument on a carp fishing forum where I took someone to task because he believed that being 50 yards from your rods was fine.
Most clubs I have been in would have your card if they caught you, and the EA certainly would.
What do you think? Was I right or him? He never mentioned fishing in open water or snags or anything, he just said "If I want to walk 50 yards up the bank I will". And the majority of carp anglers on that forum agreed with him and said I was being holier than thou.
The forum is not really a forum for top class carp anglers, it attracts the younger element. I think this attitude is indicative of the F**k you attitide of lots of modern carpers.
Am I being pedantic?
