I am not saying all male anglers are like this, only some and unfortunately like a smelly dog sitting on your favourite chair, they always seem to be where novice unconfident women anglers are.
I have had situations where I have been working a pool and some clot decides to walk right in front of me, yet this same clot would ask politely or go around the guy further down the pool. It happens, I live with it, doesnt mean to say I like it. What does concern me is the amount of people who get disillusioned by this and give up.
