Damn it, I caught a load of pesky fish. What were they, and I, thinking, especially those particularly disagreeable trout? You'd think that they'd be clever enough not to respond to a fairly general bait like maggots. Don't they know who I am, and that I don't want to catch them? I think I may have to stop using any bait whatsoever, then I won't have a nice day's fishing ruined by bites. I may have to take a complaint about biting fish to the club chairman. I know he's sympathetic to my cause, unlike most of the committee and members I've contacted, they just think I'm bonkers. I wonder if the chairman will allow me to cull all of those trout that annoy me so much? If it doesn't go my way, I suppose that my only option will be to leave the club.
