Went fishing today instead of getting wasted

I bin fishing this forum all day, a few bites but no fresh air.

I used to love fishing when i was younger, as a kid i lived very near to the river Kennet. Went sea fishing on my last holiday and like you i caught nowt.

"i caught nowt. "

What sort of hook do you use for them?

Sonko is no master baiter

Seems cruel to me, should be banned.

True, you don't need to sit on a river bank trying to catch animals to enjoy the countryside. I'd rather walk along the river bank and get exercise as well.

Yes Richie...could be classed as cruel,as eating meat and drinking beer (did you know most beer contains a fishes stomach)

Isinglass?

I had Salmon for dinner, does that make me cruel?

Do you have leather shoes Richie, leather belt, how far do you want to take this nonsense.

Dog ownership is equally barbaric. Especially working dogs.

Tell that to a blind person........

if electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons.....the answer would appear to be YEEEEEEEESSSSSSS

Horse racing and greyhound racing must be barbaric as well then.

Maybe I could get behind it if the licence stipulated that you could only catch them in a net and sling them back in, gently, before they suffocate.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I presume it was farmed salmon ? If so it was Cruel to the environment and cruel to the wild fish ,better healthier alternatives   https://m.facebook.com/InsideScottishSalmonFeedlots/

Richie - you life must be really challenging! - balancing the relative de-merits of fishing and dog ownership.

Always 1 smart arse about,

line caught Scottish salmon.

You caught it yourself or were given it ?

You'll need to be quick Conditor. I'm off for an early night - we're pigeon shooting tomorrow.

What sort of nigh temp you got just now Blackburn ?

Given to me. I have never gone fishing, but am told it's a fantastic, relaxing pastime.

Clay pigeon I hope

Dog ownership is barbaric? The troll force is strong in this one.

Yeah JC don't you dare have a bet on the 'dogs' you might have to leave a gambollling site.

It's the innocent hare I feel sorry for.

Gentlemen ,I went fishing , ffs first time in 18 months on a Saturday sober ,,,,,  the river Trent ,sawley, Near East Midlands airport,

Caught a few in here though conditor

conditor, this must be pick on fishermen day, because there aren't enough evil barstewards doing terrible things in this country to get stuck into.

Only a dyed-in-the-wool sociopath would pick up a fish by a hook in it's mouth and suffocate it - for fun.

What a great family day out. Killing animals for no reason.

I've had enough of this CARP, every pun intended.

breadnbutter - "What sort of nigh temp you got just now Blackburn ?"

Mid Sussex here - not expected to get much below 7c tonight, no wind and expected to continue till tomorrow. Big flights settling/feeding across both my big meadows so should be good. Local restaurant expecting 30 brace of breasts which should be fine.

Richie .. let it go

I d had a good day until I posted, trousers in the dryer (no iron) I’m off out Fishing

I do love a day out deep sea fishing but we take home and eat most of what we catch, the rest such as dogfish for example gets put back.

Slippy - Are you off the south coast and referring to spurdog?  Dont put it back - makes brilliant fish curry AND no bones as you will know. My granddaughters love it.

For the rest of you this is what they sell in fish and chip shops as Huss (used to be Rock Salmon) and its seriously good.

Mandatory catch and release in Scotland until July (spring stock conservation )can’t even keep a bleeder that goes belly up. Anyway to the op well done getting on the riverbank ,was out and about today collecting horseshit and firewood  ,been bringing some oak and beech saplings along and got them loosened up ready for lifting ,but I fear this false weather we are having will prove troublesome for a lot of things when winter returns,hopefully not another prolonged and  late one this year but the fruit bushes and trees not had enough cold up here yet.  Good luck at the cushies Blackbarn .

Doggies are great eating once you manage to get the skin off. Plaice will be in soon round our way slippy, not had much over the winter I only fish from shore, no cod this year. Getting a few strap conger though.

As above, they say if you skin a dogfish,they are very tasty, and you can eat conger to,(not for me)
