i went fishing today to a small place with three ponds got there early and set up in a nice swim with tench bubbling happily in front of it.started at 6am caught a couple of tench and later a nice carp hook pulls on three other goodfish.about 11am an oldish woman and her middle aged daughter set up inthe swim next to mine.now dont get me wrong ladys should be encouraged to fish im not against women on the bank but when she got out her mallet and proceded toknock in to the ground two umbrella poles and then her rod rest making a hell of a noise i thoughtmy swim may just die on me and i was correct.so after another hour i decided to call it a dayand packed up my gear only to see the two ladys leaving there swim to fish on another pond as the fish were not biting.is there any wonder grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
