i used to do sea angling right up untill about 5 years ago, i never liked those top fisherman, and i knew them all by face, they are arrogant bastards, many times they would go to , the top fishing spots, and if you were there already, they would cast over you and basically make you fishing trip a nightmare untill you move, believe me ive been there and done it, the people out pleasure fishing are the best guys, ,, but im sure your mate is the nice guy,, and well done to him

krab, let me tell you a little story, i was maybe 9 or 10, my old man, took me down monknash, i wasnt fishing just , trying to catch bull heads in the rockpools, i remember a big crowd gathering around a fisherman,,, ( richie brown) eventually, he pulled in a 50 pound monkfish, on 18lb line, a new welsh? maybe british? record, this big fish carried up the winding paths of the nash, up to his car, a mini coupe,,,,,,, with his fishing tackle in the small boot, the only place for this monkfish was the roof rack,,,,,,, my father was in the car infront ,as we set of for the weighing, up at the jcb plant in culver, all i remember was this big mouth fishes mouth opening and closing in the wind as i sat in the back of my dads car, so funny
