The days of introducing youngsters into the sport has sadly passed.Unless you have a crb you stand to be called all sorts of things.Very very sad state of affairs i know i keep harping on about the old days, but thats where i was grounded in the fine art of coarse fishing ..How can you just team up with a youngster now and take them fishing you dare not its a great shame . Good job we still have the Ian Bowdens of this world who can safely coach some youngsters and nurture them on. I see the occasional lad fishing now which is a great shame maybe the tackle trade should do more for youngsters before we loose them all to the virtual world of games machines and computers
