We have all been on the bank when a fellow angler has come over and said something absolutely daft to us relating to the water you are fishing, or the way you are fishing. A couple stick in my mind...i was fishing slider float on a hard fished tench lake..bites were very finicky in the deep water on feeder/leger, but quite hittable on a slider float in the deep water. On one particularily sucessful day, the baliff came over to see how we were fishing..only to inform us " slider float does his head in ?!"..and he walked off in disgust.
On another occasion we were fishing a point peg on a day ticket lake. We had spent about 1 hours plumbing the peg up at first light, and we had found the peg to be consistent in depth gradually slopping to 6ft deep..and staying at that depth. The point swim had been put in by the owner, so was not a natural feature from when the gravel pit was dug. At about 9am two locals turned up..informed us we needed to be fishing on the gravel bar which led out form the point, and that it was about 600 metres long!!!. I am sure they believed what they had told us..chinese whispers perhaps....
