Rebel Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Hi All, As most of you know I catch & release fish like other Raiders do. This year I have been giving them to the neighbours. Two weeks ago two pensioners knocked back whiting & blackfish I offered them.I think I spoiled them giving them snapper. Sunday afternoon I had a knock on the door & there was my friendly pensioner asking for some fish. Sorry mate haven't been fishing lately. End of story. 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yowie Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Maybe he can swap you something for the fish. When I was much younger, I use to swap with the neighbours. Fish for leg of lamb, chops, steak, eggs, and one lady made me a chocolate cake whenever necessary. My grandfather won a chook at the bowling club chook raffle every week, without fail (he did not eat chook) so I took the chook and he took some fish from me, and, he taught me some fishing expertise when I was very young. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re doing it all wrong mate.I practice feed and release without even having to see the fish.😂How rude.coming over bludging fish off you..It’s one thing to accept and appreciate when someone gives you something but turning up asking for it is a no no in my books..I would of given them the sardine bones after my cats finished eating. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel Posted November 1, 2022 Author Share Posted November 1, 2022 What is that old saying we were taught. Live & let live. And as @big Neilsaid the other day.'' What comes around goes around.'' I look after my neighbours, some are really strugging. But. Cheers. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebel Posted November 22, 2022 Author Share Posted November 22, 2022 Another knock on the door. Mate have you been fishing ? No Mate. Disappointed neighbour. I have decided to go fishing only in winter. To many people around in summer. I think I lost a nrighbour. Somebody said to me you are not the blood bank.

Hoods Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Well done Rebel - stick to your principles. And find some new neighbours... as they say "some people you just can't reach" Come up to the mid north coast for a fish over summer - I won't tell em. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Hornet Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 As a builder, I see these so called mates all the time, only knocking on the door when they want something. @Rebelgive them a handful of peas and point them to the river. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel Posted November 23, 2022 Author Share Posted November 23, 2022 Some of them have never been fishing. That is the problem I am not about to start a fishing school. Cheers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
