Why do Greenies or Bunny Huggers join an Angling Forum

Without metioning names. There are a few people on this forum with the same mindset and direct approach to commenting on fish not being released etc.

Its becoming a concern in relation to the sites popularity and peoples fundamental thought process on what it really means to enjoy angling. As mentioned before. It entails more than just the catch. There are many factors that influence the enjoyment of this sport. I was brought up to love the ocean and dont feel guilty when keeping a few fish for consumption. Its your choice to do so. Also I have made many friends because of sealine and up until today, I skell when I see people taking undersize fish, but if they manage to catch a large fish awesome. Keep it. Everyone has a diffrent perspective on what they feel is rewarding about angling. The important thing to know is that we cannot judge someone else for the fact that they keep fish. This must come to an end now.

That's the spirit Pucky! Then we slide the Sandhaai to catch a 200+ kg Bronzie while drinking beer out of our bakkies which is parked on the sand! Oh joy! ::S


Oh, I forgot to mention, we're keeping the Bronzie! :fbash

Blah blah blah.  It's your right.  Seriously.  I will personally come to George and laugh in your face when various species are placed on prohibited list.  It's your right pfffffffft.  What a bunch of short-sighted rubbish.  It's your right.  Geez sounds like the manifesto of a certain party.  It's our rights. Blah blah blah.  When people start to ignore the greater good and justify with "it's our right" then you going one way.  And let's just say it's not up.

It is exactly because of people like you and posts like this that Sealine members leave or stop posting on this forum

This thread is aimed squarely at people like you!

I note, after having quickly scanned your posts over the last few months, that this is the sort of thing you keep yourself busy with. In fact, you hardly ever contribute something meaningful.

To make matters worse, this is what you wrote on 19 June 2013:


"Ben for the record - I have become quite bored with Sealine and also the handling of issues - the Admin's are actually a PITA and impose their value system on the Users. Enough thanks"


And on the same day:

"Right you are! This is my last post on Sealine. Time to move on and up.

Adios."

(ID this Fish thread)


So the question begs, what are you doing back here?


I belong to a boat forum which us Cape guys frequent, and I tell you, you would not be welcome there


It is not your place to get personal with members who catch size and stick to quota as entitled to by the fishing regulations


I suggest to Admin that you get carded, and if you then still not fall in line be asked to leave...and then will no coming back again


This used to be such an amazing forum...I cannot tell you how gatvol I am of "members" like you!

Call it a bugbear.  Call it a thorn in my side.  Truth is I cannot for the life of me fathom the depths of human stupidity.  That anglers think that we do not have an impact on our fish populations.  Amazing how the Breede was being raped and all and sundry would be congratulating the culprits, yet when slot limits were put in place people suddenly turned around and said "Good idea" - why? because now it is law and must be obeyed.  Ditto Rapala trolling.  Ditto night fishing.  Now it is a good thing.  Until it was law very few people gave a damn.  And jumped up and down when someone (rightfully) pointed out that this was not good - because it is not sustainable.  If we choose to keep on taking large dusky cob and large white steenbras we will be responsible for taking them too far over the edge to be considered sustainable.

And all this apparently doesn't bother you?  Or only when it's law - then it must be obeyed.  Laws were made for people that can't think for themselves, that cannot without guidance decide on what the right thing to do.

And for the record: I do not ever recall asking why a fish was not released.  Ever.  And seeing as you are so good at using the search function please find one.

Lots of good info and some really depressed fishing members here.

I leave it to our conservation members / groups whom look after our shores. Under circumstances they are trying there best.

Our marine reserves ensure that our fish resources have that little extra time to recover. There should be many more in place. Yes there will be extra pressure in the open areas resulting in an increase in numbers of fisherman and more frequently fishing activity.

The grrrrreeeeen peace blokes dont worry me at all because I practice conservation to the best possible degree. Keep what I can eat, not what I can freeze. Stick to the regulations and take what I need.

Can someone with sound intellect please explain to me what is so funny regarding FeedingFrenzy's post?

 

One needs to look at this from a holistic point of view and what his saying makes a whole lot of sense to me or am i missing the boat?

A Lot of us depressed Anglers practise conservation, and keep what we can eat and release the rest but we don’t want to have catch and release rubbed into our faces all the time. If I catch a nice fish, I want to post a picture without being criticised for keeping it.

Howsit Elf? You been very quiet lately! Area 51 must be producing!

Have you read the entire thread? let me sum it up for you and I quote: "Laws were made for people that can't think for themselves, that cannot without guidance decide on what the right thing to do." Unquote.

Now if you do not find this statement to be hilarious, then I suggest a Trevor Noah show as remedy for your intellect! :SSS

Let’s break this up for you[/b]

Blah blah blah.[/b] 

First of all he did not read JB2 full post (Childish that’s what I call it)

It's your right.  Seriously.[/b] 

It is my Right to catch and keep my fish (I bought the license to fish this gives me the RIGHT to fish and keep my bag limit)

I understand the context of it being my right BUT it’s common sense to release fish.

1. Are breeding stock (Big Cob and Steenbras)

2. Fish that I don’t need

I will personally come to George and laugh in your face when various species are placed on prohibited list.  It's your right pfffffffft. 
[/b]
Serious Who the hell does he think he is?

What a bunch of short-sighted rubbish. 
[/b]
Does this make sense to you????

It's your right.  Geez sounds like the manifesto of a certain party.[/b] 

Or this ???

It's our rights. Blah blah blah. 
[/b]
When people start to ignore the greater good and justify with "it's our right" then you going one way.  And let's just say it's not up.

Or this ????
