Flipper_Al 1,012 Posted July 16, 2017 Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 Watched both... if you think its like shooting fish in a barrel, pop over.. they had their swims baited for at least a week before they arrived, by the locals Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The knob. Watched both... if you think its like shooting fish in a barrel, pop over.. they had their swims baited for at least a week before they arrived, by the locals So it wasn't skill in tactics and bait presentation then? If someone baited my swim for a week before I got there, I expect I'd catch a fair few. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ryaldinhio 5,188 Posted July 16, 2017 Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 I enjoy it. They catch so many because its pre planned and pre baited for the cameras maybe...... but it catches the comeradory and crack of fishing with mates and for me thats a big part of it. I reckon Ali is shit on camera but is just a lad who goes fishin. Have a go on camera and see if its funny!!! I liked the look of croatia. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
