I will take that as a negative then Jeepster... it never ceases to amaze me when someone has the guts to slag me off on the internet but does not have the bottle or gumption to meet me face to face, could it be I am correct jeepster ? was my one and only PM to you bang on the button? the offer still stands, I want to see with my own eyes your expertise in angling matters, you talk the talk, now walk the walk.

[jeepster]

what the hell has my 'angling expertise' got to do with anything, i'm far from an expert angler, but then i never claimed to be.

 

i have no problem with meeting you, i'll PM you my address if you're that desperate to meet. i however have no interest in fishing with you

found these thought the "flaming one" apt

I am sure you are making a big mistake Jeepster, you might learn some valuable lessons, come on,meet me half way and lets have a good days fishing somewhere, I am extending my hand in friendship, how about it?

[jeepster]

well bob, i go by the maxim keep your friends close, and your enemies closer, but this time i think i'll maintain a discreet distance, i have nothing to gain from having a day with you picking fault with everything i do.

[Bob Bradford]

Oh come on Jeepster that was unfair! listen ,have you ever fished with a long roach pole? if not , i could show you, this is my final offer, if you decline at least do it gracefully.

[chesters1]

the're not still called roach poles after all this time ,i'm sure pole makers would have fish specific poles as rods are but strange to use a "swimfeeder" on one or perhaps fox make one just for wallingtonians

OI OI

i cant belive ive just sat & read 5 pages of total rubbish all this because someone killed ONE ( 1 ) fish

then you get a match-man of all people trying to tell you how to fish properly they do more damage to fish than anybody i know & dont start on me my skin's to thick.

 

i never read what f.t. asked for but if it was help then it sounds to me you FAILED misrably

 

[kleinboet]

Right - I have taken a deep breath, counted to 10 and will now try again.

 

BOB!! Will you please tell ME the CORRECT way to handle and return a deep hooked fish, I know that according to you it doesn't happen but I AM A NOVICE as it has happened to me.

 

Will you also tell me what your reaction would be if you were fishing and someone came up to you and went off pop, telling you that you don't know anything about fishing and you should get some professional training before putting your line in the water again!

 

I await your reply.
