Why would you twisted souls

Tue, 2007-10-16 19:43

Why would you twisted souls want to put yourself through this ordeal?
An accidental capture is one thing but I watched that vid last night with Shizz and Kasey and I was just shaking my head thinking you are all off your heads!

IF IT SMELLS LIKE FISH IT MUST BE GOOD FOR YOU!

........you put them all back! Don't make sense to me. Is this a boy thing??

I do whatever the little voices tell me to do

Agree Jody! There is one

Tue, 2007-10-16 20:03

Agree Jody!

There is one thing that is worse than a sambo and it is an Amberjack!
They have killed me everytime I have caught them.
They fight 50% harder than a sambo pound for pound!
I would hate to hook one over 30kgs as I was ready to give in with 20kg ones!

IF IT SMELLS LIKE FISH IT MUST BE GOOD FOR YOU!

angling

Wed, 2007-10-17 02:24

Its called a sportfishing. I don't keep fish for the freezer (usually) except when they can't go down. And I don't bother usually unless they pull hard, or its a challenge, like a jig. Would be too boring otherwise, dont you think? 
Don't suppose you guys are interested in gamefishing for marlin and the like. amberjacks get me excited, samsons are only the training wheels. really a 50kg amberjack i would be in absolute heaven. Thank goodness noone's brought up GTs or the $$ it costs to chase them single-mindedly.
I'm an angler not a fisherman. But everyone goes out there and does they're thing for different reasons, doesn't bother me jsut as I hope I don't bother them. I admit yes its a bit of ego going out and hoping to land 50kg fish and over.

But actually a very important point here is, do look after the samsons, correct CnR is very important. Do understand that the fish do come first. If you don't know how to land, handle and release them well, perhaps you can ask someone like mav who has done hundreds and hudnreds of fish; I can volunteer to help too although no expert but spent last summer learning. Muck up boys and hey you will be in hot soup if you get caught (even if maybe its just once). my 2 cents.

Wed, 2007-10-17 06:51

Rytar you are just a big pussy! I have to say to an "extent" i agree but for us perth fisherman its a rare cahnce we can go out and get into decent hard pulling sport fish on every drop! Not bad considering we dont have many mackies or GT's hanging around ;)

Keep it tight, reeeeeeel tight!

back

Wed, 2007-10-17 20:46

on a serious note, if at the end of the day the soreness is focused on the lower back, it is a sign of incorrect technique. hope noone goes out and sprains or hurts themselves.
