Cheers mate, I appreciate that. Getting loads of abuse for my blog on other forums, so that is most welcome!

Ricky I take you are on about this: My New Blog!! - FishingMagic Forums
Its hardly surprising you got a somewhat tepid welcome looking at your opening post, I am left wondering why you see it as such a mission to push yourself so hard?

To be very blunt, the advice given is at best basic fairly mediocre content. Typified by lines like this: "Be in no doubt that on their day, boilies will out fish pellets or anything else for that matter for Barbel."
Which could be argued conversely; Be in no doubt that on their day, pellets will out fish boilies or anything else for that matter for Barbel.

You are obviously passionate about your angling but sorry, you strike me as a fairly average angler who is trying your damnedest to gain yourself a name.
Which I do not have a problem with but ffs just be overt with your intentions.

thanks mate for the support i really appreciate it. Wey-laid is not an idiot but i do agree there's plenty that are. I could learn a lot off wey-laid (I've seen his profile of impressive captures) but i just don't think he likes my brand of angling or style but that's fine he's entitled to his opinion like everyone else. I don't agree with the fact I'm "average" but like i say he's entitled to his opinion. There's many that actually like what i produce and write which is why i keep up with writing new content. I'm very pleased your one of them, thanks again mate.
