Well I would like to offer him my sincere best wishes for the future and thank him for his efforts in presenting Angling to the masses in a manner that has made it more acceptable and popular, especia

Cant blame him I guess. Doesn't his brother live in Thailand?

 

Yes, his brother Dave works for one of the fisheries over there. I done 2 days fishing at the resort last year and booked him for a days guiding on another water. Seems like I nice chap.

YEEEEEEEEE HAAAAAA!

 

Silly t**t, at least he can't keep bladdering on about native predators now...not if he's prepared to just sod off, good riddance to the pile of dung! :bleh: :bleh: :bleh:

Eating wild caught fish is good for my health, reduces food miles and keeps me fit trying to catch them........it's my choice to do it, not yours to stop me!

Captain C - 70 is a perfect age for a major change if you are active, healthy, and your mind hasn't turned to mush.

 

Most of your long-time friends have died of some disease or from pure boredom so there is less to hold you in place.

 

Your children are long grown and your grandchildren/great grandchildren are all comfortable communicating by twitter or email or facebook or similar.

I have enjoyed his programs and books over the years, good luck to him.

I do hope his annoying I am sponsered by this that and the other nephew &%@s off as well.

Martin Bowler is not at all like that, in fact he turns down a lot of deals that he doesn't want to put his name too. MB is real nice guy, and way back when he had Bowlers Angling he would always spend time with customers, and always helpful and polite. He is also very much a gent on the bank, and is extremely approachable.

 

John Wilson for me was a real entertainer and a good angler to boot, not everyone's cup of tea but then again who is?

 

Why so hostile?

I can't stand the way he pants and grunts when he is playing a fish. He sounds like he is doing some sort of physical effort rather than just playing a fish. Put me off catching the impossible.

Let's agree to respect each others views, no matter how wrong yours may be.

 

 

Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity
