Last year I was fishing on my usual spot of the Hythe Royal Military canal when I turned around and much to my surprise I noticed some chap taking pictures of me. Well I don’t know about you, but this is the first time this has happened to me.
I said to him ‘can I help you there mate?’ he lowered his camera and replied. “Sorry mate, do you mind if I take a few photos? My name is Bill Rushmer from the Anglers mail and I have been told to come down and do a column on this section of the Royal Military Canal”. So I said “Yeah, No Problem” as I was trying to cover up the hole in my cheap Argos brolly.
Then I have an idea. “I have my net of fish here if you want to see?” Well Bill Jumped at that proposal and he offered me a section in the magazine divulging the tips and tricks that I had building up of the last several year (I didn’t think until later on that this might have been a bad idea but luckily he didn’t print all of the info I gave him) . His wife Virginia then appears with a slightly more professional camera and started taking snaps of my catch. Virginia appeared that week on the front of that week’s Anglers Mail with a Specimen Grass carp I believe. ‘And who said women can’t fish?!’
So, everyone here I am, as proud as a maggot in meat! Thanks Bill
