yellow door 1 got a reaction from Squid Inc. in People taking undersized fish
When it comes to people taking undersized fish - I took the cowards way out and just stopped fishing where other people were - no more crowded piers - no more crowed jetties - no more crowded hot water outlets for me.
Melbourne has hotspots where huge amounts of people gather and behave poorly - I just avoid those spots now. In one spot you would have no time to fish, if you confronted every one shoving undersized fish into safeway bags between the rocks.
It used to be infuriating and having a word, only stops the problem while you're there.
In alot of the spots I fish - I've never seen anyone else fish - its much more relaxing - no more people casting over the top of you - no more getting snagged on other people snagged lines - no more sitting in a tip of rotting bait in discarded bait bags - while I do miss the social aspect and camaraderie between fellow enthusiasts who do the right thing - in some spots the righteous are in short supply.
I do have a couple of spots where I'll see the same faces and although we dont speak the same language - we communicate through nods smiles and hand gestures. What we do have in common, is a respect for the water were fishing. And sharing the water with those who respect it - is now a prerequisite for me casting out a line

Yeah I’m the same for my most often used but the others get broken down so they take up less space

yellow door 1 got a reaction from Softy in Knots for Flurocarbon
My testing of the decoy round snaps came about coz blokes were saying the were opening on 4lb leaders
but straight out of the pack - I found they broke very close to what the pack stated
so either they deteriorate very quickly after the first use or their design lends it self to opening when wedged between 2 rocks
but I sneakily think, the guys opening them up on 4lb didn’t close the snap properly😉
decoy round snap strength test - (bonus test - Norman speed clip)

Yeah tightening is an even bigger problem for my operation (and it has happened with the drill going at 1000 miles and hour🤬)
if it’s going to go either way - id rather it loosened

If you just flip the spool over the rotation will tighten the nut. THing of the # you will save !!
