Now call me an idiot if you wish ,(IDIOT!) but just what is the Witch Hunt all about? Charlie is a fisherman with a love of pike. That much is clear. Reading postings on the P+P website he also sems to have a short temper, but remember it all too easy to post a reply in the heat of the moment and regret it later, so he may not be the War like angler we imagine.
But why is it when he asks a question, a perfectly sensible one at that, does he get shouted down and s##gged off by all and sundry?
I for one think that the one-eyed-pike thing is laughable. Charlie has seen a problem and has tried to address it with the help of other conservation minded anglers. So what if he was one of the people advocating the use of large lures. Surely it takes a bigger man to question his own methods and to speak up about a potential danger to pike?
Can we not just cut the guy some slack and get off his back? If we aimed at PETA rather than ourselves they wouldnt stand a chance. Lets try and pull in the same direction on this one. Something needs to be done for the sake of pikes welfare, and with the feelings and ideas on this forum surely we could do something constructive rather than alienate one of our own?
