No hook fishing

Gordon

I could have sworn I saw something on d'telly that showed a new method of catching fish. It was a special string that the fish would eat and digest quickly, when you pulled the line you would be pulling the fish as the line had been incorporated too far into the digestive system of the fish. Therefore no hook needed.

Now I was telling my Dad who likes to fish and he hadn't heard of it so I'm wondering... did I imagine it? I do have the habit of imagining I see things and thinking that I truely did see them.

'sit tru?

It wasn't me!

I don't know about that but there used to be an old trick for catching eels on the english fens. People would site their boat in the middle of the drain and fish with a 20 foot bamboo acne for a rod. A coarse, soft string was tied to the end and a heavy weight on the end of the string. Worms were threaded through the string at regular intervals because it was so soft and the eels' fine teeth were caught in the twine. They were then lifted into the boat.

The lure drops back into the shelter..

I think when you cast the lure ,you are meant to give it slack when it hits the water, and hopefully it will travel away from you, into the sheltered areas


Hope to get back fishing soon but I'm buying an apartment, which means I haven't been out of Dublin much.
The winter cod soon beckons
