Catch and release?

[Mr Fish]

Only take a few for bait as only got small freezer at caravan, and needs must it must have food in there.

Yes that makes sense. Even when they’re bubbling in front of me, if I only need a few casts for bait that day, that’s all I do.
Local to home I would take more if I was going to fill the freezer, but if I’m somewhere like Chesil, there’s no point me having 40 mackerel sat on the shingle all day, I’ll just catch what I’m going to use.

The ones I catch to keep also get put in a bucket of fresh sea water. Like you I only catch what I need, then fish for something else or blank.

I have one of their watches, the only thing that helped me was to empty wallet. Just jesting - sorry.

I had one (watch!) for a 21st Birthday present. Cost more than the value of the watch to get it serviced and a new battery. Gave up after the 3rd time - it's in the bottom of a drawer somewhere now. ??

My Omega is purely mechanical, no batteries the same as my Rolex Seamaster.

I don't know what my Old Man paid for mine back 40+ years ago, but it's gold plated Case & strap. A lot of the plating has fallen off the strap even though I only wore it for best - so much for Omega quality. Wifey got me a nice mid-price Umbro watch and I bought a Jeep one - both have been great and easy to replace batteries myself, but as soon as I came out of dry dock with the heart problem, I bought a smart watch to keep an eye on my Ticker, and that's all I wear now, 24/7 apart from when charging.

For everyday wear I have a Tissot watch which takes a battery. Misses also has an apple series 6 smart watch to keep an eye her health etc.
Just remember all smart watches are not medical instruments.
We also have an omron bp and an O2 stat machine which are medically approved.

Yep was taught that years ago when a youngster.

I only found out about that in the last decade beach . I had caught many mackeral before that and handled them before throwing them back unknown .
I think there should be some educational details put on packets of mackeral traces to inform anglers / macky bashers of this unhooking practice . Neoprene gloves are fine but there far easyer to shake off arnt they pal.
