The mysteries of fishing

[RUDD]

Why do novices catch always seem to catch a big un?

 

Why do three certain family members of my local club make loads of noise, hammer their umbrella and bank sticks into the ground, shout across the lake to each other, then start to bag up on decent fish???????????????

 

Why is the recommended shotting on floats never right (they either sink or have an inch of tip showing)?

 

Why do pole rigs that were perfectly shotted at home never work at the waterside?

 

You arrive at a water and there are carp on top, you put in some floaters which they start to take, you set up a freeline or controller rig turn round and the carp have vanished!

 

At a local club match the best anglers always draw the best pegs?

 

At the same match I always draw the worst peg?

Why do anglers who make the most noise on the bank (loudly) complain about how crap the lake is?

[awaaar]

and those ruddy duck feeders! - they have the whole lake to throw their bread and stuff in, and they come and stand 10' from you're peg. and you can't really tell em to sod off cos they usually have the little'uns with em :mad: :mad:

Why do all my roach weigh just under 2lbs and everyone else's just over?

i make you right m8...i was the only person on a 2acre lake the other day when some woman and her two snoty kids started feeding the ducks and swans not six foot away from me.....amazing

why does everyone else start catching as soon as your line gets tangled?

[Apache]

As soon as you have scared the duck trying to eat your bait away, the blooming swan turns up.

how come when you have caught a nice chub of about a pound and are feeling a bit pleased with yourself some bloke comes by and tells you how he caught a 6 pounder from the same streach only last week.

How come when you havent had a bite for over an hour you decide to call it a day as you are tired since beeing up since 4am.

Your float then bobs and goes under so you decide to carry on and sit biteless again for another hour. :confused:

ALSO WHEN FISHING WITH TWO RODS, YOU HAVE NO BITES BUT THE FISH DECIDE TO BITE AT THE SAME TIME, WHICH NORMALLY (FOR ME) ENDS IN LOOSING BOTH
