I'm glad someone enjoys fishing with a pole,I cannot see any enjoyment hanging on to more than 8m of carbon on a icy cold,wet day,not for me thank you and yes i've done it many times,not any more however,thank god(if there is one)!
Only 8 metres ? Try 16 or 17.5 just to tempt a few fish from far side cover in a match. ?I'm glad someone enjoys fishing with a pole,I cannot see any enjoyment hanging on to more than 8m of carbon on a icy cold,wet day,not for me thank you and yes i've done it many times,not any more however,thank god(if there is one)!
I think its a defensive thing. They sit watching just to make sure there are no predators hiding. Blackbirds do a similar thing in Spring just before diving down to their nest to feed their young.Usually like Gordon,i'm puzzling out why i'm not catching better and how to improve it,when I'm not catching at all I contemplate my extra large navel....
On the subject of robins,why do they land next to you,on a branch,the bank,or on your rod or rod rest,look at the maggots you've put down for him,then look back at you as if asking for permission to dine,more often than not you have to tell em to 'go on then',please don't tell me they know what your saying???
