fly v sea

[d-a]

i have been sea fishing for 45 years now last year i decided to try fly fishing after 1 year i am looking at pros and cons for both i have come to the conclusion fly fishing ponds pro's -- one of the big pro's is code of conduct no drinking ect- no running around for bait -comfort - clean no smells i have had a cloth in my bag never been used -clothes are nowhere as smelly--less cruel most fish are returned alive -a lot of venues have free coffee or have cafes on site-or have cabins where you can eat -big fish in my 1st year i have had 3 fish over 8lb 5 over 5lb -out of 26 outings i have only blanked 3 times mind some days i have had only 1 fish - -------cons --muddy this time of year- little bit more expensive than sea fishing---------------
sea fishing pro's--good exersise walking s/s pier -you can fish all night --you have not many restrictions on where you fish- you can if you have time collect your own bait- you have more time to talk and socialise unless you are in a comp------- cons a lot of fish die when you put them back ie dropped from a pier a lot of fish die when used as a ball by the chavs---mackie will be in soon and the larger will be out --crossed lines and bad moods--nowhere to have a gipsys on the piers--trying to get along the pier or pipe to get best position
all in all i am hanging on to both sets of gear roll on the plaice
