On a local lake there is a swim that has a reed lined bay to the right. A certain angler fishes this swim a lot, presenting bread on the surface. When a carp takes the bait the angler runs along the bank dragging the carp behind. If he is not quick enough the fish invariably snags and he then has to pull for a break.
The running long the bank does not seem to be correct to me. I think (always my down fall) that in the normal course of playing a fish, the tackle is taking a lot of the pressure, whereas running along the bank is putting all the pressure on the fish. Or is this no different from hook and hold tactics?
So, what do you all think? Is it a problem? If so do I talk to a bailiff, or do I talk to the bloke direct? Should I just mind my own business?
