I see that Jim Gibbinson has come out of the closet at last (Coarse Angling Today - November).

 

Hopefully, I'll still be able to fish my favourite swims next year, without needing to push some bivvies in the water first

Errrr - just trying to make sure about the UK/US language barrier here.

 

'Out of the closet' for us Yanks has to do with sexual preference. Is it the same there or does it mean something totally different when applied to a 'name' angler?

Having become secretly obsessed with Medway mullet over the last three years, Jim (who I think usually fishes for carp) has come out and admitted his obsession with a five page article in the November issue of Coarse Angling Today.

 

Some great photographs too :)

Could this be the start of mullet becoming 'trendy' Leon?

AAAArgghhh!

 

Went fishing lunchtime, just down from Sun Pier (caught some pout and whiting)and there on the bank opposite Sun Pier was a bloody great big green bivvy with two anglers resting in bed chairs next to it!!!!

 

 

Jim Gibbinson I hate you!!

 

ps Jim could at least mentioned that you can't catch mullet in the winter.

Leon,I hope you are joking! Seen a couple of idiots over the years bivvying up on the tidal stretch of the Rother after some of the big "carp" or giant "chub" they have seen.My favourite was when I was digging some rag at low water (first thing in the morning)and a rather confused carper emerged from his bivvy and stood there wondering where all the water had gone! I kid you not!! :D:D

And thats my "non indicative opinion"!
