Thread: Fishing

The photo was taken at dusk but the fish were caught earlier around mid to late afternoon (as you like it). I do quite a lot of night fishing though. I find it more exciting for some reason and I always seem to catch more at night. Cheers, Andy.

I think it all depends on whether you want to get all competitive about the fishing. Snoozing under a tree with a baited rod dangling morsels for fish might not be considered by some to ba a particularly athletic pastime, but the rewards if you catch can be quite enjoyable. A few years back I was a very passionate fisherman with the exercise being hoofing it to my secret little spots to pull out a feed of either fresh water or estuarine fish....

Mates of mine went all night fishing last week, all they caught was a tampon.

Nice fish, Andy. I'd like to know if you ate them too. I live in one of the fishing hotspots of the world, yet have only fished once. I caught loads of mackerel in the third week of August about 6 years ago, when the shoals come to the shore.

Nice fish and top man for popping them back. Was that ate night or early morning Andy? See, that's another aspect of fishing that doesn't sit well with my body clock.
