Is it just me or does it seem that nowadays you cannot even pass the time of day with another angler without them thinking there is an ulterior motive.
More and more it seems that a simple friendly enquiry such as "caught anything ?" or "had any luck ?" is either greeted with stony faded silence or some smart ass comment like "why dont you find out for yourself" etc etc. I mean what the hell are you supposed to say nowadays ? Seems like you need a legal advisor just to walk the bank! - I think I?ll start using this as my opening gambit from now on...
"Errr excuse me but might I be so bold as to enquire if you are currently having a pleasant time fishing this lake although I can assure you that I will not assume any response you may give is an indication as to whether or whether not you may have caught any fish, or even take it as an indication that this may or may not be a good swim or general area in which to fish in the future"
What do you think ?
