Fred ,
I have a good freind,who did his first Overnighter on a local well known Carp and Cat water,fishing with his young chum.
Not only was it rammed,but most "Anglers" were drunk at night,many obviously on funny substances,and many had hopelessly inadequate gear,including pan nets ,and no unhooking mats.
One was fishing 7 rods,most at least 4.
This on a fishery with a three rod limit.
They came home quite shocked.
And they call that Fishing.
Imagine how any fish hooked in the middle of the night are going to be treated,whilst "Anglers" are sleeping off the effects of the booze.
Oh,and nearly all the alarms were set to wake the dead,which to all intents and purposes most were at night.
He asked me if I fancied a trip !
Makes the average pleasure angler on the river,seem like a saint in comparison.
Pons.
