Mod. Notice Now Open- New Fishing Board.

[JT_the_Man]

I am choosing to abstain, as I don't want to hurt the fishing fanatics feelings.

 

[Pistol Night]

I go fishing on the main board

Ya worms are too small mate

 

[Sqotty from office works]

Ya worms are too small mate

Hey.
No pot-shots at stkilda players here m8

 

[Anzacpaul]

Yes please. I haven't been for years, but it's something i'd like to get into again.

Used to do squidding and crabbing, but I'd love to learn about Aus fish species, best eating, killing/cleaning methods etc.

 

[zyzzbruh]

Tyers is gods country. I absolutely love it.

They banks between blackfellow arm track and the Lake Tyers aboriginal trust are absolutely awesome.

Beautiful place, can be an absolute prick of a place to fish though. Moodiest fish to ever live in a lake system. Bemm and Coota absolutely rinse it on the fishing front.

I love that many people are talking about fishing here and sharing their stories. The more, the merrier!

Because no one asked for it my reasons for voting NO are thusly:

1. Why would anyone spend copious amounts of money to sit in a swamp and be ignored by fish? I mean I get it, you're not much of a catch yourself. It stinks. Fish stink. The bait stinks. The boat stinks. You stink and women won't go anywhere near you cos you'd rather catch something that won't talk back. 10 minutes into feels like 3 hours & you’re literally competing with birds & the swift embrace of death and they’re both beating you. Awesome.....
2. Do you really need another HINGE/TINDER/BUMBLE profile pic with you holding a fish? I mean you already have the HOLY AUSSIE BOGAN TRINITY at your disposal with pics of you 'On the punt' at the Races showing off your only suit holding a beer/'Gratuitous Dog pic' of you in a car holding someone's dog - it's not yours an we know it/'With me Mates' arm around a random with a shit moustache at the pub holding another ****ing beer. The reason you don't show a real hobby or interest is cause it risks feelings. A fish can't hurt you, but feelings can.
3. My Dad loved fishing......(I will not go into detail)

To sum up; As someone with ADHD/AU, fishing isn’t a pastime, it’s a spiritual attack. It’s asking my brain to sit still, stare at water, and pretend that's fun. That’s not leisure, that’s psychological warfare. Fishing is somehow both boring and stressful. Waiting for something to happen while panicking that it might. If you’re that desperate to be alone, just get divorced or sign up for a North Melbourne membership. Same effect, less bait. Also, if your whole family enjoys fishing together, you’re not bonding, you’re emotionally waterboarding each other.

Thank you.


TLDR: Fishing blows

I was going to go fishing once, but instead I stayed at home and took my face off with a cheese grater

I love bragging - I’m in

TLDR: Fishing blows

Peace and serenity coupled with doing it in a mindset of not expecting to achieve a result, is the ultimate inherent need of the male species. You have been sucked into the dopamine driven world my friend. Get back to your roots, stop being so needy, and find your inner calm

The guy worrying about his social needs, tinder profile, photos at the races and have an apparent superiority complex is the ones like you. Real fisherman are too at peace to ever worry about those things.

Bang on mate. Get away with mates. Beers, BBQs and a feed of fresh fish/flake to bring home. Nothing better

Anyone on here collect lures as well?

A good challenge. You need a trout farm

I'm a soft plastics man.

I don't collect them but the trees and snags I fish around do

 

[A Bit Dusty]

I'm a soft plastics man.

Soft plastics are great for Bream & Flatties but I also love throwing out a bait.

 

[fake tyrone]

I'd love to see a fishing board here. It's been hard to find a fishing forum that's got much activity - most of them are very quiet these days. Message boards like these are my preference over stuff like Facebook, Reddit, and Fishbrain.

I'm no good with the bait. Too much skill required

TLDR: Fishing blows

The question is about starting a fishing forum, it’s not forcing anyone to take up fishing.
Anyone who votes no should just not vote, not go fishing and not visit the fishing forum.
It’s no skin off anyone’s nose.

Me too. Plastics and hardbodies

In my opinion, the most important factor is the number of votes for yes. What types of threads would people be interested in seeing? I personally enjoy the fishing for beginners , as well as many others. All we need to see is a clear indication of interest, which is clearly present.

oAnyone on here collect lures as well?

I’m not a collector but a user, I’d hate to admit I own probably 500 lures or more, that’s not counting soft plastics or jigheads.

I want tackle talk. Sales at BCF and good deals. Places to fish, both boat and land based. Maybe some kayak fishing stuff as well. All the good stuff
