However, no motor, and you would not need the sounder as you'd never get that far out anyhow...... Seriously? (And that ain't easy given the absurdity of this thread), if you eliminate a sounder, then next there will be those who will have sinkers (lead, bad stuff!) banned, then ban nylons/fluorocarbon/braids as these are serious marine pollutants, so we would need to go back to ecologically sound linen lines. And I tell ya, none of that is gonna happen either. So no, there is no possible point or need to ban marine electronics. Controls on the harvesting of our fishes is far more simply and easily done by the bag limit laws. Eliminating sounders or gps's would in fact be removing a crucially important safety and navigation tool from boat...from a boat safety viewpoint you may be better off suggesting that sounders and GPS devices be made mandatory on any and all boats. |

Surely must be a record Puggy on your latest topic, have never owned or used fishfinders or electronics, dont need them.With Snapper my fishing methods i wait till fish come to you. Can't see how they have an advantage, disadvantage if you ask me. Lots i know drive all over the show looking for fish moving when no bites, and end of the day little to show for it. |

I really enjoy this forum. i am not a great fisherperson, I rarely catch big fish, I love going fishing, i love the information on catch reports, including methods etc. The Briny Bar is a great way to pass some minutes or hours at various parts of the day. The other sub-forums have been great in terms of entertainment, information and just blurring out a crap day at work. Ithelps me plan, look forward and daydream about my next trip (Friday 5:30am off devonport/tank farms, then to work by 10? Or where?). Yes, your thread irritate me because you troll (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_troll). Why should you spoil my enjoyment just because you get some thrill about winding people up? My problem is solved when you stop trolling an start contributing. Brian |
