Used to hate fishing

[Wolfdog91 7,717]

Funny little brother used to hate fishing, tried hard to get him into it and just never liked it at all. Now ? Just randomly comes to the house and says he wants to go , doesn't care if or what we catch just likes going out and bullshiting around.  Getting big into cane plow fishing too, just ordered him self a 20ft one for fish the ponds on his collage campus

I'd been a member of my local club on and off for   50 years.

Then they brought in a rule that ALL anglers had to carry an unhooking mat the size of a tennis court and a landing net big enough to recover the Titanic even if they weren't  fishing for carp. This applied to the club waters that didn't even hold carp!

Shit went my usual habit of bait in one pocket tackle in another and sensible sized landing net that didn't  snag undergrowth and was more than big enough to cope with the sort of stuff l'm likely to catch.

A black bin liner folded in one pocket makes a portable unlhooking mat and can be stuffed with my jumper or grass if more padding is needed . A club bailiff told me it was more than acceptable  a few years ago.  Under the new rules l would be lynched by a masked mob of cammo-clad   ,bivvy dwelling troglodites . I'd be found swinging from a private fishing sign with a bite alarm up my bottom that went off if someone tried to rescue me .

 Actually it's  each to their own l guess . If carp anglers enjoy their sport that's  great . I do think they should stop,fondling and  kissing their catches though . There must be a risk of passing herpes to the fish .
