 Beware the Humble Pier Fisho!From: Brian M. While happily fishing Rye Pier one morning, a mate of mine's persistence paid off and he finally hooked onto his first squid. After pulling it up, he was quite proud of himself, and it's a habit of ours to take a photo of our first catch of a certain species, or the biggest. In this case it was the first AND the biggest. (Even though it was about 20cm!) Rushing for the camera, as we wanted to return it, I was unknowing to the presumed local who had decided to walk over and have a bit of a chuckle. We were faced with questions and comments like, "Wow, will that feed your family...", "Going to need a wide lens for that one...", and "Last time I was here...", etc... Now, I'm not one to make trouble, I'm not one to s#$t stir either. Usually I might respond with, "Well... go get your rod and do better..." However, this guy was one of those people with an annoying voice, annoying look, and well, just plain annoying... I decided to just not speak back, I was wearing a balaclava, so unfortunetly he would have been unaware of my less than impressed expression. However, then came my moment to shine... and though wrong, still quite amusingly at the expense of this bloke. My mate decides to pipe up with, "I need something SMALL to scale it... make it look bigger!" So I turn to the annoying little s#$t stirrer and say, "That's all well and good, but you'd better leave your pants on... it's a bit chilly." He laughed until he realised that I was insulting his manlihood... then walked off... with his tail between his legs... so to speak. I'm one of those who will speak to anybody if they come by, tell them how long I've been around, and even happily recieve advice from others. But, none the less... the moral of this story...
