From another thread, got me thinking we all have those "I remember when . . . ." sayings which now hold true for us. #
For example #. . . .
I remember when I could catch luderick off the jetties in front of the Grand Hotel in the Broadwater.
I also remember when I used to pay out on people who had sayings whcih began with 'I remember when" #
What's an 'I remember when' saying which now holds true for you?
You say fish, I say yes please.

I remember when 20 tonnes of veggie waste floated down my local river every day
also when they dumped tonnes of fish waste off the end of the local wharf
At the time there were lots of fish because of the local constant supply of burley but
I like it better now that its cleaner
Some things are good when we "remember when" but we must also remember the bad old days where we as a nation have a lot to answer to
just some thoughts on remember when
cheers

I remember when you caught a barge to get to Bribie ,and the little fat guy who used to direct the cars onto the barge. (he was my uncle)
I remember a single lane bridge at coomera and 4 hour waits to cross in the summer heat and cars boiling their radiators on the sides of the road.
I remember when a party meant a 10 gallon keg (Wood) on the verandah and a butchers tub of prawns because that was the CHEAPEST way to feed a big crowd.
I remember when I was 8 years old (1982), fishing with my dad on
a wood boat......
When I caught something, I reel it up till my dad said "Oh yeah, you've caught a shovel nose shark" Which I thought it was a shark made me throw the rod/reel into water, my dad had to grab it and reel it up....... which was a shovel nose shark
I've not caught those sharks since 1982 till 2005
2006 I've caught 3 shovel nose sharks & 2 babies sharks
Hopefully not happen in next those 23 years time of catching those sharks
Happy life of fishing,

cripes..all a mob of old buggers on here...where are the young folk.
I remember when I had to hang around boat ramps to find out who was catching what & when & where. That was only last month before discovered ausfish. From a youngish bugger who doesent remember the good old days.

I remember when I used to walk into the kill room at the Brisbane abattoirs and hold an empty tin can under the throat of whatever beast they just killed. Wait till the blood congealed then we would sit under the wharf at the front and fish for mullet with blood as bait.
I remember jagging for catties at the same spot with huge trebles on 80lb hand lines.
I remember catching eels in Bulimba Ck and cooking them over a fire in the back yard.
And for the real oldies - I remember walking home from Buranda Boys to Carina to save the 3d tram fare for lollies.
Not sure on the blood line at Byron but I remember the rest, except we laughed at the dunny man when he fell over with the full tin on his shoulder.Originally Posted by finga

I remember when I had a full head of hair that didn't get burnt if I didn't where a hat when fishing.
I remember when people would smile at you and ask "Ya catchin' anything?" Now they seem too afraid to ask or something.
I remember when SP fishing was never heard of.
I remember when a trip out on the water required going past Dave's boat hire on the sunshine coast.
I remember when my brother and I used to say "Wish we had a boat!"
I am glad I can still say "I remember when" because as I get older and the years fly past there will come a time when I say "I can't remember!"
