I have always thought about using the army type ones of those. They go up in mins and are solid when pegged out. Used to use one when i was in scouts

Love that picture, looking at that picture it really does paint 1000 words


Then :- dedication and obsession with the sport

Now :-Food delivered to swims and even tackle French fish in England

Times change and so does fishing and anglers

Bet its hard to move on for some of the old school anglers, respect to the ones that are still fishing and the ones that are still dedicated
