Last weekend I had the pleasure of a full days fishing, early start and everything. 6.30 start and pick of a large local water - great. I blanked, despite my best efforts but inbetween that, from my vantage point I noticed the brotherhood of the angle, the gang of happy splogers in all their glory go about catching fish (albiet not many came out at all despite the glourious weather).
The main thing that struck me was how long it took some to set up. One guy set up rod after rod, top kit after top kit, bait carefully prepered - it must have taken him an hour and half or more. Even that frequent summer visitor "deck chair man" seem to take a while. As an evenings only man I've fine tuned my kit as much as I can to get set up and start plumbing up ASAP and go about catching (although obviously sunday was an exception).
So, how long does it take you to set up ?
PS the other I noticed was how quick the carpers were to set up - and how much pot they smoked !!!
