This is a spin off from another thread were someone suggested they would hate to be a beginner starting angling today.
It got me thinking..I am a life long angler and I am quite sure I will end my days as one too ... but would I have been one if I started angling today ?
On one hand access to knowledge and good tackle is a heck of allot easier but on the other is there now a false impression as to what constitutes "success" leading to
Disillusionment? ...Or alternativly is "success" to easy to get now ? ..Watch a video, land a couple of whackers on ready tied rigs, get bored and give it up...
Taking everything into account I guess I am happy I started when I did and I would not want to be someone starting out as an angler today ..but I am not entirly sure why !!!
What do you think ?
