What is it with <u>some</u> northern anglers that they are forever crying out about the inequality of it all, the south have all the best fishing is an oft repeated accusation, they have bigger fish than us poor northerners is another, our voice isn't heard in the angling press another.
The thing that sticks out like a sore thumb though is that the good northern anglers, and there are loads of them, never seem to resort to this senseless excuse. I don't think I have ever heard Graham M say he is jealous of the southern fishing, Barney seems to have a whale of a time catching quality fish but never a murmer about how unlucky he is to live in the north, Bob Roberts is another and there are many more examples too.
Good anglers catch fish wherever they fish and wherever they live, they don't need to resort to slagging others off and moaning because they imagine that some are luckier than they because of where they live. The northern rivers are beautiful looking rivers in beautiful surroundings and they contain some quality fish, what else could an angler ask for, why be jealous of southern rivers when you have all that?
These disgruntled northerners should remember that there are very few anglers that catch the biggest fish even if they happen to live in the south and they would be far better employed getting maximum enjoyment from the rivers and lakes that they fish and who the hell needs the fishing press when they have all the publicity they want, if they want it, on Fishingmagic.
