gentlemen of the forum,it is time for the definite debate for the rights and the wrongs of taking such beautiful animals. do we take them and weigh them as a dead mass on a hook or should we release these creatures and try,, with all honesty to estimate a weight and girth. Paul hay Alex, i was not in any way trying to have a go at you for taking the marlin, what i was trying to get at was the idea of catch and release across the entire range of fishing. like j.g. said if a fish comes up dead or gut hooked and you feel it will not live then by all means put it out of is pain and enjoy the meal. as for the rest I will take a photo and let them swim free. p.s. what is humos Paul -------------------- bugger it's sold,got meself a house instead

hmmm
interesting topic... i dont think any social fisherman goes out with the intent of catching as many fish and keeping them as possible, but when its comes to the wonderful godly marlin well i for 1 to say that well if i cought 1 id catch it.. take a piccy and then release it but thats for me personally and im a very odd man..... ![]() but if the fisherman next to me decided to keep his marlin well thats his choice. his the 1 who caught it... but saying that if he went out every week and caught them and kept them for no other purpose other to brag and show off well then i would have to say something about it, i say good on ya for the catch and if its your choice to keep well then thats your choice.. maybe just maybe as rec and social fishos we should spend our time and effort on the long liners and the damages they have... -------------------- ............GLOBAL WARMING............
HIGHER SEA LEVELS MORE FISHING SPOTS BRING IT ON |

N0 it is definately not Angler only turns the handle on the reel that's all & has got the least most important job on the boat, Marlin fishing is a team effort & it's the Skipper who gets to call whether the fish gets kept or released after all it's his boat. I know of alot of anglers who've been told to gaff their fush cause that boat was fushing pointscore which I think is totally wrong That's wun of the reasons I no longer belong to any club nor fish comps, whether those who belong to clubs etc know it or not the temptation to get their names up on the scoreboard allways factors into the equation & the fate of many a Marlins is determined by a trophy -------------------- ![]() Save The Fish, Eat a Pussy |

g/day Jumpus, ive been out with Alex about three times chasing beakys but for no luck. Yeah Marlins are just wun of those species that if ewe put in the hrs & find the good water ewe'll be rewarded, & then there's those majic days where ewe find a good patch of water & lures aren't in the water more than 10 minutes B4 getting attacked QUOTE Hows your boat going???? Dont think you've seen the new boat think ewe came out in my old Blue boat ?????? New boat is a weapon just under a meter longer than the old wun rides like a dream but yet to catch any decent fishys from it I did go though a bad patch last season where I wasn't feeling to well so missed out on the marlin season but itching to get out there again just putting the Yamms back together & once they're done it's back into it. Dont think I've missed anything so far fushing hasn't been to crash hot out wide so far, did get a good report of some mahi around 5 kg on a mates private fad so wont be long now -------------------- ![]() Save The Fish, Eat a Pussy |

Nice fish and I think it is is ok for any angler to keep his first.
If fishos are to target these great fish - they put alot of time ,effort and money into doing it. Much nicer to tag and release if catches of them become consistant by experienced anglers. Would love to see the HOMMUS RECIPE HERE for everyone to try. ![]() Bafoo |

In fact I'm totally against tagging fish BUT NOT RELEASING them Prob wun of the 1st is Aust to get their Tagging masters back in the early 80's I was right into it BUT years down the track I've changed my mind after seeing how data from tagged fish & other means is being used against recreational fisho's I say Tell them Nut Ting, Give Them Nut Ting Ewe dont need to jab a fish with a tag to release, Just let it go the way it was B4 ewe caught it. -------------------- ![]() Save The Fish, Eat a Pussy |

Yeah jump i do know where your coming from on the T'N'R Of billfish especially where the long liners are concerned.
But in some respects T'N'R finding out about those billfish that cross the ocean esp blacks and blues that grow BIG have made people (both anglers and skippers) alot more aware Of what they are taking from the fishery so jump i see the bad but there is also some good in what comes from T'N'R But there again as Jullian Pepperal said to dad on the weight station that scientists do need dead specimens for research and D'N'A analysis. So there is many a pro and con for both. But personally i dont like killing them but the old man owns the boat. !! -------------------- Of all marlin species the pacific blue is KING. Nothing runs as fast jumps as high or goes totally ballistic like a blue. Its not that you find A BLUE - A BLUE finds you |

Used to run into him all the time many moons ago & allways informative chats But like I said earlier these days that info is also used by idiot politicians etc etc against anglers That's wot pee's me off & why i haven't tagged for years Every now & then ewe also come across peeps @ ramps attempting to gather info & stats TELL THEM NOTHING GIVE THEM NOTHING -------------------- ![]() Save The Fish, Eat a Pussy |
