After reading about the Veterans World championships, and how they came second fiddle to France( Even though England were fishing on home soil) due to them being so much better at bloodworm fishing. It got me thinking about how there are so few venues where you can actually go and fish blood worm and Joker.
Its something I have never had the oppotunity to do. And until recently I didnt know why it was banned on my local drain. However my Grandfather explained to me that it was to let the fish have a chance to grow before they are caught. I mean with this being their natural food resource they obviously dont associate it with danger like they maybe do maggots etc. However I have caught some very small fry on maggots,pinkies and squatts.
With so many artificial baits being piled in by the kilo, I dont see how this can be bad thing. Offering the fish its natural food source. And why allow it on some places/venues and not others?? Like At the Evesham festivals they allow it for one day. Isnt that a bit hypacritical??? Top match fisherman get to have a good day of sport and bag up. But the rest of us must struggle for a bite the rest of the time. We are obviously falling behind other countries on the world circuit because of these bait bans.
Just wondering what your guys opinions are about this?? Always someone who knows something on this site
