I have read that in many places in the UK it is difficult to use a boat for fishing because of regulations or upset from shore anglers or similar minor issues. This always bothered me some and I have given some thought to a good solution. I think I finally have one.
No one could possibly get upset about your fishing from a boat if they didn't notice you were there. Two reasonable possibilities then - and we can call this first one the Waller system if it works out. For those who already have a boat, it's just a matter of blending into the surroundings. You can use local vegetation or if you prefer, you can buy some good artificial grass & weeds.  If you have avoided getting a boat because of the problem of where to use it, you might do well with one of these. All you need then is a good camo suit. Because of the hull design, I think we could call this the Yakity system even though the kayak guys normally only posts on the sea section.  [ 03.

Yep, that's fine Newt, but it wouldn't be long before some wagg puts a bivvy up on your back.

We have the duck boats over here already Newt, and very useful too I would guess.
As for the floating haystack, I'm not sure that England is quite ready for that one yet! -------------------- PETER
