Well......I've sat back even longer.....hahahaha.

This is just one of those occasional topics where those with completely opposite views will never agree......and I think we all need to respect those views (doesn't matter which camp you sit in).

Life's too short to get het up about who's right & who's wrong.....mebbies both sides are right - mebbies both sides are wrong.......but haway man...................can we call an end to this flippin' bickering.

Ermmmm......that's just my view by the way :p
 
Well......I've sat back even longer.....hahahaha.

Lol you git.

Good points though, into nine pages now and nothing is changing.

Jim.
 
Having sat back EVEN longer hehe and knowing that a consensus of opinion is sometimes impossible and having never fished the cliffs at Marsden (but feeling I could make a reasonable stab at it if I did) I would like to think that Terry's thought pattern would satisfy us all......

- I'll fish here 'cos I might get a good 'un

- I've got a good 'un but the boulders at the bottom have defeated me (no different really to getting fast on any rock mark except it's high tide rather than the usual low tide)

- I would now love to be able to do something that would allow the fish a chance to escape (and me another chance to catch it) but I can't so I'll do the next best thing - tie it off in the hope of getting it later.

The only problem I can see here is if Terry thought "Can't get you up but I'll have you you bas***d" Don't see that happening do you?
 
Terry - Cracking Fish, Hopefully next time luck will prevail and you will
get your fish. Keep it up mate I look forward to reading about your
successes in the future.

nb, if it does make any difference (however, I doubt it will) I am with the majority, I would have done exactly the same in tying the fish up!

Keep it up Terry,

Regards
JamesC

Penn 525, on page 4 of this thread you inferred that fishing the cliffs was a waste of time( waste of a big fish), yet you took the time to fish bempton.

...actually YoursTruly, I didn't say fishing cliffs was a waste of time! I fish the cliffs at Ryhope, sometimes in club matches (Ryhope SAC), and do quite well, just won this years champion angler - AGAIN - as I won it last year too - and we have turn outs of between 90 and 110 competing at each club event. Which makes your statement about people knowing nowt rubbish! (But I wont mention being selected for the NFSA England SQUAD on one occasion - so I think I can say I know a little bit about our game!)
What I was saying was it's probably a waste of time fishing that particular mark where you were, as retrieving a fish is touch and go. AND, in another thread I also gave you an apology for being hasty with my answer.
Hope that sorts that out?? :rolleyes:

I have Just getting back from a wee holiday in Frankfurt ( 0 - 0 ,but German beer isnt to bad) and then Centre Parcs for the weekend via york to drop my mate to the train station on our way back from stanstead

BUT


after reading what has gone of while i have been P*ssing it up WOW - to those who are against tieing it off please stop fishing now ,if you are that concerned the actions are a waste of time ,the reason i say this is unless you are fishing with some kind of SONAR device you cannot possibly know what size your fish could be ,and while sitting on a comfy jetty or pier you might just hook into a 17lb fish of a lifetime ,BUT ALAS get tied up round that shopping trolly/Old Bike frame/lobster Dahn/or owt else that can snag your end tackle ,I for one Only ever worry fishing the Cliffs if its in the Shields Open - because that is a Compitition ,and losing a fish of any size while having to tie it off would be a Mare ,if deep down you knew that it would have scooped the board




and yes Sless not every fish that comes loose/drops off /tied off is attacked by Rats ,some just swim round a rock pool with a 6/0 pennel and pully rig until they get captured AGAIN Ha Ha



Oh and by the way - Well Done Terry ,nice fish all the same




I am sure you have taken on board ALL the advice that has been written on these pages ,well maybe not ALL Ha Ha
 
Well done terry.
I would have no problem with tying a fish off. I would have called in reinforcements Eg. fresh flask, tent, sleapingbag,fags,bog paper,it would have taken a team of wild horses and a strait jaket to get me away from a 17pounder, Fish of a lifetime for me.

What about a transistor radio so you could turn it up to drown out the sound of the rats having a good old munch....hahahahahaha.....
 
Just for you TC,

Let me put it another way.


Was fishing on the cliffs the other night and had a fish i could not lift, so to stop the line being broken while lifting and possibly killing the fish when it fell to its probable doom i decided to tie it off and go down when the water went back and release the fish back to the sea as i could not bear the thought of that fish being eaten by rats, crabs or simply lying dead.

there you go, the end to the saga.

Oh just one other thing, penn 525 if your that good then we can expect you to enter the pairs ko and give us all a run for our money!

Yeah, might do, YoursTruly, may have to take a Saturday off work, as I have to be up at 3.30am - but then who cares, the money I take from the match will take care of the Saturday off! lol (THAT WAS A JOKE BY THE WAY - just in case some of you take that the wrong way!!!)

On the subject of that big fish you got, would a drop gaff not have worked? Don't you sell them? I seen one (not sure if it was your design?), but it looked pretty good. I actually do carry one when on the cliffs at Ryhope, and they work a treat off there....
