Well I am primarily Landbased so I cannot Comment on Deep Water but as I practice Catch and Release 99% of where I go I have a few General Rules.1. Wet Hands! The fish have a protective slime that the Human Coarse hands wipe away with ease.2. Brag Mats. Not only are they fish measuring devices they also protect the fishes skin from such Substances as Concrete etc. Make sure they are wet though sometimes on a Hot Day that Plastic does more harm than good.3. Hook Selection. Other than Hard Bodies all Lures and Baits are Singles or Circles. One for the cleaner hook up rate but also less damage down to the fishes body i.e. Mouth, Flanks etc. Manages for Quick Release.4. Pliers. You will not know unless you use them how much quicker they much unhooking!5. Comfort Lifting. Support the Belly!! How many photos I see of fish upside down! Quickest way to break its neck especially with heavy fish. Plus in my opinion it makes for better Photos!6. Release techniques. Unless from High Areas or in especially oxygenated water ie the Surf Beaches (Where you can spear them for a hit of Oxygen). Swim your fish! Don't flop them over the side.Wait for those flicks against your hold of their tail and then when ready a pinch of the tail and a strong push. Just watch the Catch and Release Snapper Photos. That will show you.There you go thats my list and I have attained some very strong Release Rates. I love a fresh feed of Fish. But remember just like Golf. "You don't have to eat the Ball, to have a good time!Cheers and Tight Lines TT

From the Inside Fishing Facebook Page:"The All England Squid Championships descended into farce when only one of the 70 competitors managed to catch a squid and had to be proclaimed champion with only a 1cm specimen. Red-faced organiser 'Fishy' Rob Howard blamed the weather conditions, saying he wanted to cancel the competition - but competitors had travelled to Brighton from all over the country."Hahahah! TT

Great work Jimbo!Congrats on a great fish mate! And another excellent video!I have replied in more detail on actual Youtube Video. But once again well done TT

Gday Guys.Well just spent a weekend at Port Vincent and did some Salmon Flicking. Got up early at the High Tide and threw cubes of Pillies, Aniseed Nuts, Pellets and also drizzled Tuna Oil. Getting a strong stream going anad managed a few times to get the resident Salmon School to do there 'morning run.'I was flicking this Lure around through the Stream and picked up many fat and large Salmon/ STs. They were ripper fun following and smacking the lure and all the while me trying to stop them on 4lb Braid and a 2 - 4 kg Rod! Cool!Here is the Lure. The Berkley Frenzy Flicker Shad in Blue Tiger. Cheers Guys and good luck with your Salmon endeavors! TT

110mm Squidgy Flickbait Evil Minnow. All I can say...

Louis Van Senden wroteHi Louis. All I can say is keep doing what you are doing. Apart from the State Mags. FishLife is easily my favourite publication right now!It is fresh, informative and vibrant on the page. With some excellent articles aswell! Flathead Lies by Starlo was a great read and also being a young angler myself Coen Amons Articles were great asewell!Fish Life has struck a winner guys keep doing what you are doing! Cheers TT

Hi mate.As someone that is also doing something similar to the research project. I would just like to say congrats on a excellent topic. As these questions are quite open ended and can be hard to keep track of one here. Have you possibly thought of using something like http://www.surveymonkey.com/ to gauge your answers?That way you won't have heaps of replies on here. But just strict multiple choice questions, which you can derive your stats from. You can say as one of the questions.Do certain bait and burley influence what you catch1. Never.2. Rarely.3. Often.4. Very often.5. Always.That way you can see that 75% of people that have partaken chose that Burley helps Very often. Just chuck in the link to your survey once you have created it and you should have much more precise and detailed responses. Good Luck Mate. I wish you all the best with your Project. TT

Caught huge Salmon (4lb Line), Squid, Bream and even some Rugger Snapper. I just can't kill it! It is super strong and you don't have to worry about it getting a few knocks! I think I may even use it today. Well done and good luck with the new Rod! Cheers TT

Good Video and some Good Carp!But can those Southern Americans sound any more stupid? :silly: "Ding Dang! Imma gonna catch me one of those Carp! Ahh Huh Huh." Classic TT
