What a refreshing change. I love Sea Angling and have done for many years. I have seen it turn from a wonderful pastime to one of shame. Dead fish left on beaches, Piers closed because of anglers bahaviour etc.
Then you cam imagine my surprise when talked into trying course angling again to find how it has changed. Every angler I have met has been most helpful generous and more than happy to help a beginner to catch more fish. The barbless hooks and general care of fish is greatly improved since I last course fished. Unhooking mats, fish not being kept in keepnets for hours. My local river has had staging put in for anglers to use free of charge. I fished there on the last day of the season and had a good day (all free fishing). I enjoyed it so much I will be joining the local club soon.
Give yourselves a pat on the back the fishing is streets ahead of sea angling in sportsmanship, manners and fish care. Thank you and good luck to all the anglers i've met and those iv'e yet to enjoy a great sport with.
