I joined the 21st century and bought a laptop and joined FM rather late in 2012.
The following may have been going on for much longer of course but I get the impression that more and more new anglers want instant results for pike, perch,zander you name it without learning the basics and learning watercraft/location etc.
Lately there seems to be more requests for information on " where can I catch large......etc". Almost what swim sometimes.
Maybe its the influence of anglers starting out now on heavy stocked commercials and expecting big catches from the word go.
I woudn't dream of asking someone where they caught their big fish from as in most circumstances they had probably served their apprentiship and done their time research and spent their hard earned cash in doing so.
As my heading says... Is it me being grumpy...Too grumpy???
