There appeared to be more sleeping going on than fishing. I don't think they are that bothered about catching fish. It is just a way of avoiding their wives.
I noticed that a couple of them had horrific sunburn. Presumably they forgot to apply some sunscreen before entering the 'Stella Artois zone'.
We get a lot of fishermen on the bank by the Ham House car park. They get very upset when sailing dinghies dare to sail past them. There are miles of riverbank available where there is no dinghy racing going on but they are too lazy to walk a couple of hundred yards away from the car park.
They get quite upset when they realise their line has snagged on my rudder.
