Welcome to the forum new member Supersymo aka Tony. I am Boatnose Panbow - globally acclaimed hunter gather, recently dubbed 'The face of bushcraft'.
I would like to welcome you to you to the forum. Do not hesitate if you need any kind of healthland advice.
Incidently, I, BnPb have also spent time angling in that neck of the woods. I tend to favour trout fishing in the small, meandering corners of the New Forest, but am also partial to a spot of sea fishing at Mudeford Quay.
Again, welcome to the forum. If you haven't already seen, I am a highly skilled poet, who writes all sorts of excellent poetry. A quick search of the forum will uncover my fantastic material. Check it out and let me know what you think.
I have, as an offering of my friendship, written you a short welcome poem:
In the middle of Feb,
As winter waves goodbye,
The trees that once looked withered and frail,
Grow green and fill the sky.
The sound of birds begins to ring,
Louder than before,
But so loud the melodic notes could spoil and angler's score.
Bait on, float weighted, time to cast away,
I sit, I ponder, I focus, I think,
What will I catch today?
Time does pass,
The river flows,
As I wait, the bites do come,
It grows colder now and I wonder how,
I will ever catch one.
Have you heard my famous saying?
'An angler never dies'
As I go to pack my gear,
The float bobs and dives!
I pull, I reel, I dig in deep
Soon this fish, I will render weak.
Finally I land that monster trout,
Which lasts the whole week!
I hope hope you enjoyed my excellent poem Supersymo.
Boatnose 'Robson Green' Panbow.
