Hi Colin,
Actually, it seems you are guilty of not seeing what is clearly written.........READ the whole thread Colin.
And I quote....
"What an utterly depressing thread this is ! Two rods,baitrunners, bolt/hair rigs, big leads, boilies/pellets, is that what fishing for a thoroughly absorbing species has been reduced to ? My advice ? leave touch ledgering alone, its way too involving and requires way too much effort to be bothered with, just carry on boring the bloody things out"
Or do you not see that as "Rubbishing or putting down of other methods' I dont "Just think" that was written Colin, I know it was And the comments that followed that were a little disparaging of other methods, were they not?
As it happens, my post was not directed towards the criticisms in this thread alone....It was just that Simon's jibe was a small sample of the elitist rants of the 'There is only one true path brothers' sect
Seriously though Colin, it doesnt actually bother me that much...I just find it a little sad that there are so many divisions in our sport...so many different branches and even distinct approaches to one area of angling where the fans of that type of angling are fiercely, almost tribally critical of others, rather than enjoying what they do, and being happy for the other guy enjoying his passion.
Still...I suppose if they weren't doing that, they might be spending their time being even more tribal and unpleasent at a football ground
Joking lads, joking
Cheers, Dave.
Si, if this opening statement: "Colin, you are wrong for once Fact is i meant every word of that statement !"
Was not followed by this: "If that is seen as Elitist and disparaging and whatever else then so be it "
Then perhaps it could be said that I was wrong but the second sentense draws doubt into the validity of your claim of me being "wrong".
It more hints at others interpretation of what has been written rather than what has actually been.
A rather grey area now, so I ain't "wrong", just not right!
Unless you were being deliberately antagonistic and that'd be naughty.
I'm not sure about that?..... it might be or maybe not?
By the way....has anyone ever tried touch ledgering?
What?
Yeah, but then I can never work out what to do with my Delkims!
Yeah, but then I can never work out what to do with my Delkims!
yes yes and yes.....i'm spending more and more time these days with the rod in my hand and less and less sitting behind two rods.
You can watch the river, commune with nature, read a book or even have a snooze but you never miss a bite. If you've never done it give it a go, the feeling of that first touch ledgered barbel is electrifying.
