I should wiggle my chat toes in the fine OFF waters before diving in methinks, remyboy
.... it was a long winter and I missed my wittle friends :razz:
I get so irritated this time of year here in Niagara when bass season is approaching and yet on the water it appears to have opened weeks ago seeing everyone casting for them and catching them. These "anglers" are not cave-dwelling mouth breathers either... the gear betrays that notion. A pox on thie house! :razz: I find these days that some so-called anglers have no clue the damage they do when they push bass season all for the thrill of dragging in a largemouth. It is like they beleive the fish magically appear yeach year for their benefit. I find those lousy Canadian and American fishing programmes do absolutely nothing to promote the fishery and the respect it deserves. It's all metal music and a numbers game or it is some low talker explaining how a bobber works
lol my god hibernation did not treat me well
I see a huge difference in how fishing shows from the UK are presented: more class, more education, more depth.... I would love to see a British film crew do some North American programming, see their slant on it. Maybe it is my age/experience demographic group... we have seen it all, the crappy loud marketing, the rock and roll high school schtick, the "treat fish like it is some unfeeling inanimate object"....
sure, i wish Bassassins all the best, just struck me after what was discussed last year that I see this here, i await with "baited breath" when a lure manufacturer promotes barbless angling, proper fish handling techniques and reminders
put my mind at ease this year and how about a few of you try the barbless experience and report back if you aren't barbless already
random? yes! .... and sadly I am sure there will be more to come.
May the 2013 season be a safe one for all my friends!
Now, about those gigantic freshwater drum..... :shock:
