A diddyman (or woman) is an angler annoys the hell out of so called 'better' fishers by winning a competition, catching a heavier fish or beating others on a boat.

To qualify as a diddyman you should beat an international angler preferably using white feathers when the 'expert' is using traces and bait which have take him months to prepare.

A common sight when a diddyman is winning a competition is the favourite to lift the trophy cursing and jumping up and down on his rod (you know who you are!)

Our Club have several qualified diddymen as do the Stornoway sea anglers.
