  1. Toward the start of this thread a few commented on how kids can have a false sence of 'i am god' which in turn puts them in danger, which is true.

     

    The sea wont mess about... mother nature has no equals and many people who are greatly experienced at sea/on the shore are caught out regularly. It doesent take much human error in some cases for something to go badly wrong, and staying away from the sea isnt an option for someone like me who is born for fishing!

     

    Perhaps these lads where just in the wrong place at the wrong time? Although i here the weather was pretty rough down south last week.

  2. Hi folks,

    Home early... Still good though :D Tonight the rain was horizontal and as we had caught a few fish we decided to just come home :rolleyes: lightwieghts i know :rolleyes:

     

    Started off at banawe quarry on friday eve, just for a mess catching a few dogs and whities. Friday night when the tide was low enough we went searching the shallow beaches and fished a new place. I mised runs on my 1st three casts before my pal had a spur and thornie. 2 hours of fairly steady fishing getting about half a doz Spurs apiece passed, Then tiredness got the better of us and we went for a sleep. Today we went to one of etives deeper marks and had a good day. We had 20 Spurs between us, biggest 5lb for me, plus a few dogges.

     

    All in good weather, but at the end, as if from no-where these massive water spouts/whirlwind thingies (???) started appearing. Just like mini tornadoes, was well cool especialy as one made landfall on our stance sending everything not nailed down airborne B)

     

    When the rain started battering we feked off

  3. Heres the plan....

     

    Today im getting all my gear sorted... This evening me and my pal heading up the west coast lookin for spurs and thornies. Fishing midnight low water, then sleep for a few hurs. All day tomorow trying various marks, then tomorow night midnight on a low water mark, home early sunday. Its gonna be some weekend!

  4. Smoked haddock, IMO, if accompanied with creamy mash potatoes is unbeatable...

     

    Ive also tried steamed plaice, also excelent. Cod-nah, bass-nah both not my thing. I dont eat much fish, but the two above make my mouth water. Im quite into trying exotics (although never sushi!!!)

  5. Well actually, the only thing blue is the colour of my t-shirt :rolleyes:

     

    18 as from 10 minutes ago, hip hip hooray etc..... And just back from the pub, ive still not had a legal drink yet :lol: Theres always tomorow :P

     

    Whole weekends fishing to look forward to also :)

     

    B)

  6. Is that the one with no manager ....... rolleyes.gif rolleyes.gif

     

    Aye, well.... rumour has it that sir Bobby Robson could be in future plans, if we decide that he is good enough, ofcoarse :P:lol::lol::P

     

    This easy avatar change is dead cool, gonna keep changing till i get a really good one

  7. There is a third group; people like me who stick a great big hook through its heed and live bait it for something BIG :rolleyes::P So we have passed that joke then, have we? :rolleyes: Ill (try) not to mention that again...

     

    On a more serious note...

     

    Rapala,

    I so happen to be similar in opinion to you, for how I go about my fishing. Return as much as possible, and feel slightly guilty if ive killed. The main reason is because i dont eat that much fish, although i have tried new types on occasion.

     

    Death is a part of fishing, there are no two ways about it... If we where to quibble over everything then we really should look into golf! I dont think twice about accidental deaths. Many of us use bait to catch fish. Im guessing that doesent apply to you if you chuck lumps of plastic about.

     

    Just because the fish in queestion are two bass of breeding size, does that make it any better or worse than say, a cod in double figures? Which people kill all the time!

     

    The man obviously enjoys eating fish, and bass are a lovelly tasting fish in many peoples opinion, would you rather someone go out and line the pockets of those who are raping our seas by buying the fish from the fishmonger. If people are going to eat fish, i cant think of a better way than self caught. Fresh, knowing exactly where its came from and cheaper.

     

    Lets think about it and not go downing fellow anglers.

  8. As a match angler involved both at club and international level i can honestly say this practice is not a true representative of modern day match anglers. I dont undersand how this match would have been organised. The fish all look like undersized whities, its a baffling picture.

     

    Matches where it is likely to be undersized fish as the main target are usually always catch, measure and release, minimising death. Infact, matches that are not C,M and R are usually boycoted.

  9. ahhh were all going to die.... Im sure thats what 'They' want us to think... I dont see it, but if it does happen, every man for themselves as they say... demon demon demon

     

    Seriously though, what will they think of next? How many people died of mad coo disease? Ill be the 1st to eat humble pie
