I agree entirely that the growing trend among wannabe specimen anglers to pile in a small island of bait then fish over it with carp gear in order to catch anything that swims then proclaim themselves as the reincarnation of Izaak Walton when they do catch a half decent fish is very worrying.
Even more worrying is the belief of many new to the sport that this is the right way to do things and represents the true ethos of our glorious past-time.
The true test of any angler is how they perform in the difficult winter months when watercraft, fine tackle and true angling talent and skill come to the fore. With the coming of the first frost the catch anything that swims on carp tackle club will often be found in the boozer telling tall tales of two pound river roach and twenty pound pike
that they caught on saturday whilst they were at the football !!
Those who match their tactics and tackle to the targeted species are inevitably more successfull in the long run and are still catching good fish and enjoying their fishing when the catch anything swims on carp gear club have turned their two brain cells attention to the local golf course.
