REMEMBER THIS????

[BriH]

Aye - remember it well Sless - still my biggest fish to date - the fact that i got Vodka`d out my face to \"help me with the loss \" of a big fish still makes me P**s myself laughing - and it was still alive when you brought it to wor house LOL - Did i ever get you them bottles of Black Tower for your good deed ???

 

[gogs]

Aye Jim your right i did get a bit stick when i first posted the pic of the cliff gaff on the board, Barbaric was mentioned a few times as it is now.
the guys that use these are fishing from cliffs and fishing for the pot,not sport fishing that most of the lads on the board do.
if anyone is going to fish cliff marks there is no way any fish are going to be returned unharmed,so what better way to make sure the fish are actually landed and not falling off half way up only to drop to a ultimate death to the rocks below.
and as for drop nets,they only have uses at specific marks, most victorian harbour walls are splayed out at the bottom making it impossible for the net to work properly.i tried unsucessfully to net my pb cod of 17lb+ with a drop net.only way i got the cod into the net was a lad climbing down the ladder and guiding the fish into the net
and it would have went back if my ex fishing partner hadnt whipped it away and dispatched it.
Bottom line is if you are going to fish cliff marks get 1 it might well get you your pb fish up the cliff and chances are when fishing these marks the weather will be shite so there shouldnt be to many antis walking the cliffs

Happy 500th Gordon mate.

Jim.

Congrats on the 500th Gordon.......I\'ve lost me recipe book, otherwise I would\'ve baked a cake....lol

Anyway........I never intended this thread to be a re-run of a previous discussion into the ethics, whys & wherefores of using such a contraption. It was started (as I\'ve said) to let those who want one know that there\'s a cheaper alternative to the £70 or so quoted elsewhere on the \'net.
Getting back to the original question - \"would anyone be interested in one?\".......if so, PM me. I told the guy at work that I\'d post it\'s availability on the site - and I\'ve done so. I also told him not to expect much in the way of orders.
