must be bloody hard being a charter boat skipper...you can please some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time

Not taking any sides here but I did enjoy myself that day (I've got the bruises from the bronzie to prove it ). Speaking to a fishery scientist, his opinion was also that pre-spawn fish are usually more agressive and thus pre-Nov would have been a better time for jigs. If I had known that before would I still have gone - heck yeah!

 

Whoa!....now that is one hell of an ego trip if ever I read (Kapiti Thread) one...I know many people that are at the top of their chosen games that don't rely on chest beating to prove it....It's not for the kumura to say how sweet it is!

"being a perfectionist at your sport can lead to a critical appraisal of the methods of other experts."

All well and good but I'm sure a humble bloke like Rick Pollock would have been more than happy to accept "critical appraisal" at the time had JimiJig brought it up.....to bring his criticism up in the forums in the manner in which it was posted seems to me at least like a 'points scoring' exercise for whatever reason.

just an observation - flame away!

Oh, snap... for once Kezza and I are in agreement

Likewise Rick has the right of reply, which he has done - that's democracy, which a lot of Kiwis, Americans and other freedom loving people have died defending. Forever long may it remain so.

Good on ya Chopsticks.....why not then have the "guts" or whatever to take his beef up with Rick at the time? it appears to me that the opposite is true...firing shots from behind a computer screen rather than having a discussion when sharing the same space?....c'mon. it's not that hard to korero is it? moot points, affirmative, negative etc etc

I hope I'm not standing on any "icon" tootsies with my posts....like you say everyone is entitled to an opinion based on the facts presented at least.

"America" + "freedom loving" in the same sentence? now that is a corker!!

over and out

That's it Kezza, you're destined to be kidnapped and shipped to Geronimo Bay for questioning. No charges or lawyers but we'll see you back in six or seven years.

The war on angling.
