What would you put in ? or what would be your top 3 ?

1) blokes who stand behind skylining your swim when you are fishing the margins and ask if you are catching , to be honest I preempt them and ask them to stand well back

2) bream - you think its a great fish ! its a ..its a... Oh its a bream


3) moving swims

What would you put in ?

Definitely a place in there for bream. Rod makers who follow fashion not sense can go in and anyone who fished with a radio blaring out makes up the third place.

Can't wait to see S-Kippy's list. How will he whittle all those niggles down to just three? :D

litterers
THe "how to plumb the depth" article that appear every 4 month in the mags
The "I put in 2kilo of boiles then set up the bivvy, in the morning I put in another kilo of bait ....................then as I left I topped up the swim with a final 2 kilos of boiles" articles - yes if you are a sponsored angler but for he rest who can afford it

litter I totally agree with having once removed a tin of sweetcorn that was tied to a tree with about 30 yards of 10lb line.

But Bream or Robson Greene - no contest......OK Robson's going in.

Definitely RG. Be great if he could do a mixed series next, swimming with fish (no singing hopefully) with surprise guest appearances from certain fish -possibly called 'Extreme Swimming' with him splashing around in a black seal suit (tell him it's a wet suit;)), on location off the coasts of Florida, Oz, South Africa, etc.............................probably only need to budget for the Florida episode.

1. People who don't give a toss about the welfare of caught fish.

2. Bawling, shouting, noisy b#st#rds when I WAS at peace with the world.

3. Thinking, concerned anglers, who are not members of the Angling Trust. It may not be
quite right, but there's now't else. :(

Anglers who moan about other anglers preferred fishing styles.

Anglers who claim they always put the fish's welfare first..

Anglers who catch sod all and whinge about other anglers taking pictures of their catch.

Anglers who leave litter on the bank.

Anglers who claim they always put the fish's welfare first.

Anglers who moan about keepnets.

Anglers who wear those big wide brimmed Indiana Jones stylee hats.

Anglers who claim they always put the fish's welfare first....
