Do you consider angling a field sport?

[BULLDRAGON]

Could someone please define the phrase "field sport" ?

I've googled it and the main definition of the word comes up as "an outdoor sport" .........................

Yep!

 

And proud of it !

Don't see many fields in the middle of the channel.

 

That thought crossed my mind as I made my post

I did explain proper us course anglers are coarse whilst the game anglers are truly part of the field sports fraternity, and sea anglers are probably on a level with coarse anglers but certainly not members of the field Sports Club.

Hang on a minute thats it.... if we include sea angling as Fishing then for the purpose of this poll, how can we include sea fishing as Field Sports, that would be daft . so fishing cannot be a Field Sport'.... case proved.

I thought it would be too much to ask.
