I'm going back some years, but I remember like it was yesterday. John Wilson writing his monthly articles for Coarse Fishing in his little shop in Norwich, in long-hand between serving customers and varnishing his latest fishing rods for sale.
With anglers now having sponsorship we rarely see good informative articles on any fishing subjects. When we do it's 200 words of tackle and 200 words of product, nothing about the actual fishing we can learn from. I know we have You-Tube but some of us like the written word. Goggle almost anything and Angling Times comes up with a short article that's selling product. If not them its Guru or some other tackle makers selling stuff, thank goodness for so many amateur blogs that fill a gap, but I do miss long thought out articles about fishing, don't you?
