So I've just heard on the radio that if you're angling you can fish BUT if you're fishing you can't fish!

What's the difference?!?!

There's certainly a lot of anglers who cant fish

I,m assuming what there saying if your fishing by rod and line. " Angling " your ok. But if you are a commercial " Fisherman " Trawelerman your not.
But then again wouldn't commercial fishing be deemed essential work and allowed to continue?

Or I could be totally misinterpreting in what they are trying to say in the first place.

I think anglers is the term used for gentlemen who fish
Fisherman is the term for coarse fishers

Carp anglers dirty smelly drugged up or pissed up campers lol

I have been referred to as a “Blanker” quite a lot the last ten years.

Although I have been hearing W's as B's recently ???

It's simple you have 3 categories

1 your an angler

2 your a dangler

3 your a tangler

If your any of the above just go fishing and enjoy

but if you fall in category 3 you have to track and trace post on here where and when you're going fishing somewhere category 1 can avoid

Category 2 again track and trace so category 1 can avoid again

Category 1 again track and trace so everyone in categories 2 and 3 can avoid you numpties
