Me and the boy have just got back from a well known reservoir that rhymes with Poddingtons where one of the rules is "no floating baits".I knew this and therefore did not take any mixers.
We had a good day but I was a tad cheesed off to see "local bloke" and what seemed like most of his extended family turn up and shamlessly feed & fish mixers exclusively.It was difficult getting the boyto understand why,if it was against the rules,they were doingit &we were not.
I have always felt that the fishery owner is perfectly entitled to set their own rules and provided they are reasonable [like barbless hooks,no nuts,no bolt rigs,no floating baits etc] it is a given that anyone fishing there should stick within them.I am less impressed by "no bait other than that bought on site" but I dont have to go to places like that...and dont.
Without going overboard is this not another example of kids getting the message from their parents that rules are there to be ignored or only apply to other people.Needless to say not a bailiff in sight and I have seen "Deliverance" and had no desire to star in a sequel.Them old Oxfordshire boys can be a rum lot.
Or am I being old fashioned ?
