Introduce Yourself at the new Fishing Talk Forum

markt says:
Hello everyone.

I thought it is time to allow a little more communication and interaction on fishingreminder.
I have been getting a lot of great feedback from you guys and fishingreminder has become a useful tool for many anglers.

To make all feedback, suggestions and frequently asked questions more visible to everyone I decided to set up a forum.

I hope this way we all get to know each other a little better. :)

To get things rolling, please start a new thread in this forum category and tell us a little bit about yourself.

Hiya Steve.
Welcome to the Fishingreminder Forum. Maybe we could go out together one day.
I'm normally fishing from a Kayak but really want to learn more about rock fishing.
Maybe you could show me a few tricks sometime 😉
If you have the sort of addiction that I think you have you would be familiar with the WHITE Horse Inn somewhere in Auckland ....near Papakura ? ? ? not sure. Apparently the place is true to label. A bar tend quoted that the Elephant Beer which I was hooking into (reminded me of Keg RESCH"s) it was somewhat of a strong brew .....but I am a big boy ... however I think I must have missed something (in trying to translate, I am familiar with 'FESH & CHEPS' but there must be more to the Kiwi language that that) did he tell me ?
He apparently witnessed my regular disposal of quite a few tipples, .... must admit in the ensuing haze that developed I do remember (I think) the words so eloquently spoken by him.
.....to quote: "as I said if you drink enough of Elephant Beer you will feel as though the whole f-----g herd has trampled on you.
Why did someone not tell me ? I would tell them about Cardiff Black Beer and what it can launch if we were in NSW.

Hey, my name's Alf. I grew up fishing in Manitoba, Canada. After not picking up a fishing rod for over 25 years, my wife and I took up fishing this year. We bought a canoe and rigged it up for "comfort". we love it! We haven't caught anything large, nor have we caught many, since fishing in our lakes wasn't the greatest this season. Nevertheless, there is a lot to be said for being on a calm lake in a canoe all day....whether you're catching fish or not. It's awesome!! Cheers!
Hi Alf. I absolutely agree. Being out there in a canoe or kayak is just fantastic.
I love the calmness and peace. Hope fishingreminder will be useful for planning your adventures.

By the way - you got some stunning pictures. Thanks for sharing them.
Hi! I m anand . I m new to this web page. I from singapore.Nice to meet
Hi anand. welcome mate.
I've been to Singapore a couple of times. Nice city. Loved the food.
Good luck with your fishing.
Tks! So when is your next trip to Singapore. I hope to meet you and go out for fishing. Do like shore fishing?
Hi Anand

Would like to go to Singapore again 😊 No plans for the near future though.
But will let you know when I get a chance to come over and we can go out together. I like shore fishing but I'm not very good at it.
Perhaps you could show me some tricks.
I'm mainly kayak fishing with soft baits.
Great to be part of the board. Looking for other light tackle anglers here in San Diego. Me and a buddy like to Spey surf Blacks Beach and Silver Strand. Also like to float tube Mission Bay for bass. Hope to get some feedback. I
Hi mark , i would like to interact with my fellow anglers by replying on their catch or inquire how they did it.. to learn... can i be posted on my replies to them?
Hi Roland

Sorry for taking so long to approve your posts.
I was on a short holiday without internet access. Thats why it took a bit longer.
All forums are moderated to avoid spam postings (which I'm getting a lot of)
I'll add a new feature soon that will make it easier for seasoned members to post.

Thanks for you patience.

By the way I'm looking for people who would be interested in helping me to moderate the forums. Let me know if anyone is interested in helping out a bit.


Cheers
Mark
gidday everyone i'm from sunny napier on the east coast of new zealand. just got back into fishing and am hooked .lol pun intended. i am a surfcaster and quite enjoy hitting the beaches and rocks for a bit of nature and some solitude, oh and the fish. hope to get to know everyone on here and give and recieve some good advice 😉
Hi Seanz

Welcome to the forum. Good to hear you'r back into fishing 😉
Napier is the place to be 😊 I love it down there - too bad my current job binds me to Auckland.

I guess its great for Kayak fishing down there as well.
hey markt yeah its a wonderfull part of the country i have seen a few kayaks heading out to pania and offshore so i imagine it would be the fishing hasnt been too great lately but is on the increase managing a kawahai each time but planing on hunting me a snap or three. in regards to kayak fishing is iot expensive to get into?
yeah can get a bit expensive - but only if you want to get a fully rigged fishing kayak like an ocean prowler.

You could always start with a cheap 500$ kayak and improvise with rod holders, etc.

And then upgrade to a better kayak later if you like it.

Good thing is that you have no fuel cost and at the same time you get fit 😉
That sounds good mark and that is what I'm planning to get for my next purchase.
Hi everyone, I am fairly new on here and have recently moved to the coast in Galveston, Tx. I have been spending a fair amount of time fishing the beaches, channels, and Jetties for anything big. If you have any suggestions..... I'm all ears.
