Frig the small bass.

 

I thought that safety would have been the foremost aspect.

 

I can swivell on a lolly ice stick but with a lot odf tackle I am not certain.

With that comment,I take it you have never fished from a Kayak b4.

Whilst on Holiday in Devon Specimen and I fished about Half a mile off shore.It was a calm day.A Speed boat with 2 young lads(Not wearing any floatation device's)Passed a comment to us..."I wouldnt like to be in that when a boat passes and kicks up a swell"

10 minutes later a dive boat passed us going about 7-8 knots.We rode over the wash with the greatest of ease.But the speed boat which was on the drift at the time was tossed all over the place,knocking the 2 youngsters all over the place.

Just goes to show you.Its not the size its how you use it

You must have the greatest respect for the sea though,and know your limits.

last few days has beena real eye opener for me about fish sizes ages spawning etc

 

could some one post here a link of current fish sizes for diff species or list the ones i should know so i can make quick reference marks on my kayak the fish in the pic was over 45 cm

 

barely legal is better than not legal

 

why does internet come to mind when i say that?

 

i never knew the consequences of keeping a huge fish i knew something about keeping a small fish

 

i aint caught a huge one yet good thing really now i know ill probaly start catching them now

 

heres a pic of a lobster i caught a while ago wish i let that go now [musta been old as me] it was cought off clacton pier

NFSA - Minimum Sizes

Hungry - I am going to make you as sick as a parrot now! That Lobster is enormous! The Aquarium would have taken that one off you if you kept it alive in a wet sack until you got it there.

 

It looks, just going on perspective etc, that it was about 12lbs, possibly as big as 14lbs - which means it was in the region of 50 years old!!

Reminds me of a Simpsons episode where Homer has a pet lobster called 'Mr Pinchey' and ends up giving him a nice relaxing hot bath....
