cg, I am two hours away from leaving for Auckland but I must ask a question as you have me confused. Will you kindly point out one instance in this entire thread where I have attacked Chad? To date I have been the subject of much verbal abuse but this was quickly dealt with by a moderator. My sum total of posts have been about better television coverage of our sport, at no time have I stooped to insult someone I don't know, at no time has his fishing, work or writing skills been bought into question.
You ask about putting a thread up about improving fishing skills, I did so this week regarding using crabs for bait. Last evening I put on a suggestion of using pearls as a replacement for beads, as when being retrieved they take on the appearance of a bait fish moving through the water.
You mention Chad has a right to an opinion, I quite agree and trust you will extend the same courtesy to me. However, there is a difference, I choose to use reasoning in my posts, not insults.
As to your spelling and grammar: not so hot I'm afraid. In your last two lines 'Hangler' should have been spelt with a capital 'H' as it's a name, and 'there's, in the last line, should have an apostrophe as it's a contraction of two words, 'there is', also this word, being the start of a new sentence, should also have been initiated with a capital 'T'.
Most people when they start fishing have questionable success, there is no need to brand yourself as an idiot, usually, with practice, skills will start to improve.
