Lockdown getting to you mate
I recently saw some old TXI delkims on eBay - you know how it goes, "Hardly used, as new, etc"... the pictures show three alarms covered in mud, two had stickers missing and there were sctraches all over them. He or maybe she, feck knows, but they wanted £300 for them. They sold for £330! Makes you wonder...

Quite correct Chairman Mal, a reflection on the state of today's Carper. Perhaps you can suggest why this branch of the sport above all others attracts the pond life it does?

I fly fish a water in Hampshire. The owner was telling me how initially he was going to run it as a Carp day ticket but he said luckily he did a bit of homework on the internet. Joined a few forums and FB pages. He said he couldn't believe just how bad the sport was.
He said he'd basically be opening his land up to thieves and the sort of people that you wouldn't want turning up on your doorstep, he even said some of these knuckle draggers cant even use a toilet to take a crap
The fly water takes a hell of a lot less money than he could of made via carp but he said he's never had a single problem and every customer is a decent person, he'd rather the piece of mind than the extra money.

Yep. I think you are correct. I think it's the camping, whole weekend on the session thing that appeals to these clowns. Plus for your average ****er who wants to show off down the pub to his mates, he can go and catch a mug scraper twenty and to the untrained numpty, compared to the bit of cod they got from the chippy, that looks a big fish. So Colin the cokehead down the boozer must be an angling legend. Whereas to the likes of us we'd be much more impressed with say a four pound perch. But then again we didn't start fishing last week.

It's a shame it has got to the point it has,luckily there are waters to keep them occupied and away from the waters I'm on

A sport ...
Let's see
who can sleep the longest
Drink the fastest
Smoke the most amount of puff.
Get the most likes on “insta”
Grow the crappiest beard
Wear waders the longest
Think that just about covers it..
Definitely a sport
