    Ha ha.

    Totally concur regarding fishing. I target fish for the dinner table and if I'm not going to eat it, back it goes.

      Love all sorts of fishing, although always return fish if I'm not going to eat.

      If people didn't fish for sport in freshwater, it is likely pollution etc. would go unreported and we would have no fish in the rivers / lakes.
      Its bad enough that the do gooders have decided to release lots of Otters, they are hammering the rivers

      Had some great fishing holding a little travel rod trolling in the Philippines....the speed the fish ripped off with it was a joy to behold.

      Obviously fishing around all the little islands etc. at 4:30 AM is out of this world....

        I re-caught the bug after fishing in the Florida Keys on holiday every year. My best was a 7ft sailfish which made the local paper. One of the greatest days of my life landing that after a 90 mins fight.

        Fish was rested and released unharmed before anyone asks.

          You can get an 2004 X5. Depends on your budget, if you increase slightly the shape changed after 2006, and new one is not that ugly. And if you can afford, go for a V8, higher fuel/insurance but plenty of power.

            WOW!

            Nice one, yes its all about catch and release these days.
            Haven't made Florida yet, but know people that go fishing almost everyday with their own boat when I do

            Malta is well worth a look too, Matt "the Tooth" Hayes has made some great films out there, worth a look
            Looks reasonably priced too.

              We house share on The Keys with friends from Nashville who bring down their own boat and we sail from the door. The sailfish was with a professional skipper who took us into deep water for the day on a very serious fishing boat and it was definitely a team effort. I cannot recommend fishing down there enough. Go.

                    And, it's gator hunting season (15/08 to 01/11). So you can sit on your porch with a beer and knock 'em off like a proper redneck
