Apart from that -

Nothing really - they are new to the game, there is a bit to learn

[RichH]

that a strange 1 .

when i'm flicking a lure i hold the rod at the bottom under the reel.

but when i am bait fishing or catching a fish. i hold it above.

not really annoyed by much .

have kids and they do weard things fishing .

have had my sun glassed ripped off my shirt ripped off .

always a big lecture and talk after something like that happens and a ban till they work it out and remember .

for a thing that annoys me is :

a newbie asking the same question every day or so ,in a new thread every time for a few months straight .

that 1 gets my goat.

[shortie]

what retrieve do you use

[Gad]

annoying..nah, highly amusing yes...and it`s not only the odd nooby,

ones who go to the same 1 or 2 spots,day and night, say they only get donuts,ask for advice,then seem to go back to the same 1 or 2 spots to perfect getting donuts.

Yes I have been told lately.

If you reckonise your self,please don`t take offence,its just that I have a warped sense of humour

I'm sure Tugger would agree that a Noobie to live baiting who chucks his fish near Tuggers livvie then it all gets totally tangled up cos the Noobie didn't know you put a sinker on to stop yer livvie swimming around causing chaos might make the list!! :blush: :blush: :blush:

haha mopar.....iv been fishing with mullet before and cast complete opposite directions and they still tangle up...not often but it does happen!! very annoying cos they dont seem to do things by halves! playing ring around the rosie down there!

[Dinodadog]

as mentioned before the one that casts over your line, I have been casting from the bank and have a bloke walk up and say hows it going mate and as you cast he cast right over the top of you, when there is a mile of bank to fish. I usualy ask are they hungry and they give me a blank look, then I tell them they will get a knuckle sandwich if they do it again.

[fishing_hardcore]

The ones that use sinkers as big as golf balls for regular land based fishing, and you know they are not going to catch a thing on that rig :laugh:

Thats about the only thing that annoys me as well. Aside from that noobs are noobs, what do you expect? I hate when noobs are shut down for asking seemingly obvious questions. We were all clueless at some stage. Thats the point of forums where info is shared.

Funnily enough often the people shutting others down are those who were noobs a year ago and have catapulted to self proclaimed heghts of wisdom

[bootyinblue]

How funny are some of these answers!!

I would have to say from a actual fishing front, people who fish too close to you when there is 1 mil eof jetty, wall, or beach to chose from and then want to chew your ear off. I go fishing sometimes just so I dont have to talk to anyone.

On the forum front, I would say 16yo snotty nose kids who think they are fishing gurus and know best.

[Feral]

None. Everyone has to start somewhere.

Except maybe fishing mag experts, IE someone who reads everything written by blokes pushing high end gear and tackle and loves to offer that second hand opinion to others preaching it like gospel, but that isn't just limited to New fisho's!

[brisbane_boy]

The ones who dont like to put in any work for themselves and expect others to put up enough info to have them fishing on your lap the next time you go back

[Mr FeLiX]

None to be honest as has been said, because everyone has to start somewhere. However, if I had to pick one, the pick of the bunch would have to be when you find a nice, peaceful jetty to flick some s/p's from, or soak a bait, and then, 10 minutes later, you have 16 odd guys come down onto a 5m square pontoon, all for the fact you pull in a 20cm bream

all i can give back to the forum is any-one wanting to know good spots to fish in the derwent river.

[ellicat]

There's more ways to give back to the forum than just answering member questions.

I'm referring to those that join, ask their single question or ask for help, get the answer and are never heard of again (except to maybe log on infrequently to sell something etc).

Yep that is not the way to join a place like this .Them AS$%^%$ just want to join to make some dollars off people there should be a limit on the amount of posts before you can advertise ,this is a great site to learn not abuse it.

[Davo_Dinkum]

ah yes i know that type .seen them about .

giving back to the forum is easy .

a fishing report .

a going fishing thread .

answering another person question or giving them your opinion

just reading a report and saying : good 1 m8

and so on .

even general conversation and chatting .its all part of what a community is about .

[Do$tylz]

not putting the bail arm over when trying to ping a big cast right next to you....

[Gazza]

None as far as fishing or boating goes

Ask your self where did you start

did you offer help or bag out some poor dude ?

Habit's what habit's they don't know the

difference help em

don't bag em just my 2 cents worth

Gaz

[bigtez]

Worst 'habit' is keeping a fish when you have no idea what it is. That is all.

Sh!t, I only did it once dude! :ohmy: Get over it

[fishguru5]

im young but i know that you dnt have to cast into the horizon for the big fish alot of new people want to cast right out as far as they can. in surf conditions. half the time the bait either flies off or they end up throwing right past the gutter.

pat

[thriller]

It would have to be when they out fish you!

damn noobs!! :laugh:

Agreed.

Take a quick photo and put her back - it's simple.

Went out off Noosa last weekend, and the Navman backlight blew, so had no idea where we were going. Motored for 25 minutes out to North Reef (roughly east but no idea how far we were from the usual waypoints. We had absolutely no idea of position as the five scrub fires on Northshore meant we couldn't even see landmarks... oh well, drop a line anyway.

20 minutes later we were surrounded by 4 other boats... why?

Lambs can get a bit annoying also... over 50 fish netted in 6 hours, seven keepers... noobs only lasted about 45 minutes he he he

[adamfitz]

Perhaps another one.

If your boat is over structure in 50m of water... why cast 50m off one side into an incoming tide? Not just the noobs, always interested me why people 'land base' cast when on a boat.

[Davo_Dinkum]

depends .

usually just drop the line off a boat .

casting is to get to a structure near the boat .

but not in 50 meters of water ,i'm talking water that mite get to 8 meters deep.

wish is could cast 50 meters ,lol.

reckon i'm good for about 5 meters these days,the older i get the less coordination i have .

i find the boats fallowing other boats about to fish funny.especially when they fallow me ,as i catch nothing .they are fallowing the lost ,blind and stupid .hahaha
