I don't see presenting baits from toy boats as angling myself. I never have.

I agree – it's certainly not angling with rod and line which together define angling, to me at least. It's just trapping. Where is the angling skill in using a radio control boat to place a bait that is probably set-up as a self hooking rig? I honestly would rather paint my walls or cut the grass than be involved in any of that kind of thing.Shaun Harrison wrote: ↑Thu Aug 03, 2017 9:28 am I don't see presenting baits from toy boats as angling myself.

Quite right I've always said if you can't cast and present a bait there don't fish there.Paul D wrote: ↑Sat Aug 05, 2017 8:20 amI must be a snob as well , didn't think I was but I totally agree with you.Beresford wrote: ↑Fri Aug 04, 2017 10:10 pmI know I'm a terrible snob but I hate the language that has grown up with modern carp fishing and which seems to denigrate the fish at every syllable.Shaun Harrison wrote: ↑Thu Aug 03, 2017 9:28 am I don't see presenting baits from toy boats as angling myself.
