kawapower Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I have Been to many fishing shops here and none of them sell anything to do with fish care as in the sport fishing, looked at getting from the UK but most do not deliver here, so I will have to make myself, where can I buy Pool liner(think pool liner will be to thick though) would be better to find the same stuff they make waterproof diving bags from? Also webbing straps will be needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petercallen Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 The main Super Cheap store probably has something suitable, you will have to really look for it though Probably find it in the right hand rear corner section up the ramp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sportsman69 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 maybe you try the canvas shop opposite the ptt station on chaofa east, they can stitch it together Voted # 1 aka TMT canvas. Take a drawing of what you want. They'll probably use HD vinyl with welded seams + whatever else you want,webbing etc: Pockets to slide in carrier poles, whatever. Nice young Thai manageress speaks better English than most. They've done work for me for over 15 years from when they were on Koh Siray. Like everywhere good, measure twice, cut once might cost a little more but peanuts in the long run. Highly recommended. Super Cheap Charlies won't make it for you. may have the bits but no ultrasonic welding process Tight lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Buy an IKEA bag http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/17228340/ and burn some holes to it with soldering iron. Cheap, light weighted and includes DIY element... and what an style! Well, maybe can not hold 100kg, but for smaller it should be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I based the particular illustration on what I thought you were most likely to catch locally. I could've shown something like this: I would be most interested to see pics of the 100kg+ fish you're catching near Phuket, and, in particular, you wrestling said fish into a sling when it's alive and kicking!

kawapower Posted July 11, 2012 Author Share Posted July 11, 2012 (edited) Sorry old croc I should have mentioned I do not fish in Phuket, I travel North, believe it or not these huge fish do not struggle that much when out of the water, as you can imagine it is difficult getting them out of the water in the first place, luckily there are always other people around ready to help!! My biggest so far is 60lb, my friends have had 120lb and 100lb there are much bigger in the lake!! Edited July 11, 2012 by kawapower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am talking about freshwater fishing catch and release, sea fishing is completely different!! My experiences of fishing is restricted to the times when I was kid. Got an fish, brought it to grandmother who made soup out of it. So I do not understand your answer of differences between freshwater and sea fishing when asked about fish care of sport fishing..please explain.

kawapower Posted July 11, 2012 Author Share Posted July 11, 2012 (edited) The fish you catch whilst sea fishing is mostly eaten, so obviously fish care is not going to be of great importance, freshwater fishing catch and release(you return the fish back into the water, is important, if you harm the fish through negligence it will die, the more fish that die in a lake due to improper handling will harm the fishing for others!! Many people do not care about the fish, I have seen fish being thrown 10mtrs into the water, people dropping fish on to concrete, kicking the fish back into the water etc this is improper handling!!

Ok. Thanks. Although I don't understand why people wants to catch and release the fish. Fishing for eating is ok, but just play a while with an fish and then release it do not make sense.

dingdang Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 you are fishing, but you dont eat the fish? why do you take it out of the water? only to weigh it? and then throw it in again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kawapower Posted July 11, 2012 Author Share Posted July 11, 2012 (edited) you are fishing, but you dont eat the fish? why do you take it out of the water? only to weigh it? and then throw it in again? It's a sport which millions of people enjoy!! The fish are taken out of the water to be photographed and weighed, hopefully returned unharmed!! Horses for courses, many people enjoy catching fish from the sea and eating them, many people just enjoy catching the fish and returning them after a picture etc unharmed. Take a look at magazines or on the Internet to see the sort of fish that are caught and released. Edited July 11, 2012 by kawapower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dingdang Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 i apologize, but the thai-island-murders reminded me of the nepal murders, because i believe the guy is at this time of the year (after the last murder in the beginning of june) as usual out of the country... and i thought, he could be here? after an intense "profiling" on the nepalese cases some time ago, i came to the conclusion, that he is in fishing sports and that he (in most cases) wraps his victims into foil and weighs them down in the river (or lake)... so, i came to this threat, when someone was asking for foil and wrapping things... is this sport usually done from a boat? i would think big fish are not close to the shores?
