I used to go fishing on the canal when I was younger. One time, I was at a spot a few metres from an old man. He was using redworms (I think) as bait. He pulled a fish out literally every ten minutes, whereas I didn’t catch anything (possibly indicative of something else other than choice of bait :-P).
I’ve heard that in a lot of fishing competitions, red bait is banned because some fish find it so irresistable.
Yeah, yeah, yeah…the other herb to which I alluded is legal on several unincorporated, uninhabited stretches of sand in the Pacific…like this place. So there.
Sorry, I’m just feeling a little persecuted on this, the 20th day of the 4th month of the year. But I’m feeling much better now.
