larry thats because you didn't move your pole untill the last minute
you will never get it mate the problem is you only remember the bad ones in between you might have 30 good ones as with dog walkers and bikes

Actually Larry, walking pace is aprox 4mph which is the speed limit for boats on canals. So any one cruising at walking pace hasn't slowed down! I, and most considerate boaters will slow down to around  about 2mph whether passing individual anglers or a contest. As for the line a boater takes we often get shouted different requests dependng on the tastes of the individual angler. "Stay in the middle mate" Slow down mate" Speed up mate, stir the mud up for us" Go down the far side mate" Perhaps a sign should be erected at the ends of a contest asking the boaters to slow down and go down the middle if that is what most of the anglers prefer.
Most non fishing boaters will not understand the requirements of the anglers unless they have been informed.
