Again, It has all been put into perspective for me by somebody who has either their own health problems or is looking after somebody else who needs the care.
I felt for many many years that fishing was my life, and would always be that way, but as usual I was wrong and now know that health for friends, family etc is of far more importance.
My fishing is now reduced too once a month at the mo at best, but playing on here helps and it is great to talk to people who are out there doing it!!
I agree wholeheartedly with what what Bob is saying about 'Doing it on your own terms'. I have always done it that way and as long as it is within the unwriten law, then it's fine by me.
Fishing is becoming too fragmented within itself, by that I mean Carp Anglers, Match Anglers, Barbel Anglers, Pleasure Anglers, Fluff Chuckers etc!!!!! We are all anglers at the end of the day and one should not bellitle another for the way they go about there given choice for having a dabble.
Of course us all rounders are the best though!!!!!!!!!!
Blue touch paper and all that.
Get better Mr Roberts, I enjoy you're ramblings they are more than informative, they are enjoyable with it, you gave me lots of food for thought when you were writing about match fishing and you have done it again with this article.
More please.
