Wrong advice ?

[pomerob]

Ok as I said the proof is in the pudding. I fished my first club comp this weekend. Besides fishing it was not what I was expecting. Arrived early Sat morning approx 5:45am, no coffee no nothing just launch your boats and go. No friendly chit chat on the water. The only interaction of the day was at weigh in then everyone dissapered back to their own personal camp site.

The camp site was about 500m long if not longer and everyone kept to themselves. Everyone had their own braais in the evening, No big fire to share the days happenings, no clinging of glasses and sharing of beer. In general no comradery of any type. Out of all the people who attended 3 people actually took the time to make us feel welcome, for which I thank them.

Sunday launch took place during heavy mist, despite the mist everyone pulled of and proceeded at full tap oblivious to any saftey issues of not being able see more than 5 meters. We also pulled of but plodded along and before long decided to pull up into weed and wait for the mist to clear.

After the comp pepole started leaving without as much as a goodbye.

Roll on the next Gauteng get together, fishing, braais, beer and interaction. I think I will leave my competitive fishing to the nissan or bett in future.
