adamski Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Hey Raiders, Been watching a few fishing vids on youtube recently and this came up in my recommended video feed. I was wondering what other weird or unusual methods you've seen other anglers using. Cheers, Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would too!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paikea Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 When I was a very young kid (late 1940's) we used to half fill tins with Quicklime, punch a small hole in the lid, tie some meat to the side and drop it into a canal. Water entering the tin would react with the lime and gas up to the point where the tin would literally explode. Tiny "Stickleback" fish would float to the surface for us to collect. Great fun. I later heard that the Canadians who liberated our town used hand grenades the same way to get large Pike. Ahh, memories! Cheers Paikea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SgtBundy Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 As a kid I recall my dad and his mate going mullet hopping - something like just putting a tinny with a light on it out at the right time when the mullet are running and wait for them to fill up the boat. They used to get hessian sugar sacks full of them in just a few runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finin Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Was watching an old movie, natives fishing using remoras to catch turtles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onajewagain Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I wouldn't say it was bizarre, but when I was a teenager I went out with an old aboriginal bloke who took a 6ft piece of thin bamboo, he shoved it down mud holes and used it as a stethoscope to listen for mud crabs, then he'd shove his hand straight down the whole and wrestle them out! Brave dude, don't know that I would shove my hand down there, but it got results! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scratchie Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I've tried yelling at the fish to jump on my line! It's never worked though I've even begged and pleaded but still no result! Cheers scratchie!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryder Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 How do you like this, The glass minnow tube. You put your live bait inside, the fish will strike, get hooked but the bait survives. I don't know how successful they were Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamski Posted January 28, 2015 Author Share Posted January 28, 2015 Saw this too. Seems pretty effective, but don't know how much I fancy jumping up and down on the ice... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamski Posted March 20, 2015 Author Share Posted March 20, 2015 (edited) Tried editing the link- it works okay on my laptop now. It was a sport called "skarping", where guys waterski down a river with nets and catch Asian carp ( they seem to be a pest species in the US) as they leap out the water. Looks helluvalotta fun!
