In my life I've done most types types and styles of angling.
Some time ago I was asked in a tackle shop if there was any type of angling that I didn't like.
It didn't take me long to list these.
1st Shark Fishing.
I truly cannot understand why anyone would ever want to catch one of these awful brutes. I've had a few in my life, that goodness only small ones, but I once hooked a white shark off the Natal coast. I cut the trace. I certainly wasn't going to try and handle that snaggled toothed monster.
2: Big Game Fishing. Only ever tried it once and the fish I hooked - A marlin, got eaten by a bloody shark.
It's a form of angling that takes the least skill of all. The real know-how is with the boatman. Even if I was a millionaire I would not bother with it.
3: Match Fishing: I've done a little bit in my life, mainly club matches where is was the thing to do.
I enjoyed the social side very much. Less so the fishing. I don't like being told where I must fish, when I must start fishing, and worst of all when I must stop.
But I have nothing against match anglers or match fishing.
What forms of angling do you hate.
