| 513764 | 2007-01-08 00:18:00 | I've returned from my Far North Summer holiday a vegetarian! Father-in-law sending out the torpedo long line 1km and pulling in the snapper, along with stingrays, huge starfish and other assorted marine life. So I'm frantically returning assorted maimed wildlife to the ocean as he scales and guts the 3kg snappers without killing them first!!! :eek: |

| 513767 | 2007-01-08 02:54:00 | Meh. seeing my father preparing crayfish for stir fry... He does not drown it or kill it first. Just tears it in half while its still wriggling and chopping it in half. Seeing the portions wriggle is interesting to watch. Animal rights group can taff off. The stir fry was delish. |

| 513768 | 2007-01-08 06:37:00 | I'm sure the gutting would kill them, whats the issue? Long time experienced fisherman not doing it to your instuction? Funny that, bet you get it alot. |

| 513769 | 2007-01-08 07:07:00 | I spend a lot of time investing in lures and technique...not luck..and certainly not multiple poles either. I hate to see the people here without fishing licenses taking all they catch..even undersized and hauling them out by the baskets full..... I suppose if one used hand grenades it might be more sporting than a trotline.......the yellow or red ones work best. :D Fishing "catch and release" is the true sport..and I take an occasional trout or striper for my bar-b...but not very many. I don't use bait, as the fish swallow the hook and you are then hauling them out by their stomachs...not nice! I DO, however eat raw oysters....and love lobster..boiled...and not those sily prawn-things they call lobster from tropical waters! Give me a full 4 lb lobster..w/claws and tail all attached. |

| 513773 | 2007-01-09 00:06:00 | Where abouts did you go? I like the High Sierras for trout and places in Arizona (NO . . it's not a blistering desert!) . But I actually spend many happy hours at Lake Hemet or Lake Skinner in Southern California . Bass, stripers, trout and red-ears live there . . . and most of them know my name . I had a small yacht (don't say it) in Dana Point Harbor for a few years . It was 38' at the waterline Tolley Craft that had a pair of 360 Chrysler inboards on vee-drives/twin screw, twin rudders . A full stateroom, flying bridge, Tuna tower and pulpit, fighting chairs, Grand Salon, head and galley . Had a tumble home wet deck and taffrail in teak . With that I went about 400 miles out to the 960 bank many times . . . . . where the Wahoos and big'uns live . Never use bait . . . always lures and artificials . I figure that I could be caught if you threw a pizza in the water . . . and that's not fair in my book . Besides, bait is just sushi in my book and I don't like that either . I used it mostly for deep sea fishing . . . it was too big to trailer and I left it at moor in Dana for all the time I owned it . |
