Thread: Don’t Be Cruel

[size=12pt]If a bird gets tangled in your line or hooked, just remember you are playing in their dining room!
Please take the time to carefully remove your line and/or hook from our feathered friends so you aren’t responsible for something like this.

If you are afraid to handle the situation yourself, please ask for help. Bird tangles are aggravating, but the birds shouldn’t have to pay with a body part of their life.

Also, if you are going to use a Gotcha Plug, please learn how to cast and retrieve it in a safe manner! Don’t do this to a fellow fisher or yourself.

:bow:.....a towel over the birds head & eyes calms them right down....plus they can't bite...... what they can't see.....just saying
love it Fin :headbang: ....teaching is very good, I am still learning every trip....man those jigs worked good on the spanish

I might also point out that our fine feathered friends wouldn't be so anxious to hang around fishermen if they weren't used to the occasional hand out. Not passing judgment one way or another on the morality of feeding wildlife, just saying its natural for them to come running when they see easy food.

Also if people wake up when on the rail and watch there bait you can always reel it away from the bird oke1:

yeah, and dont feed a bird a bait, then jack it up, and cut the line... you might have some angry people get in your face....... :yippee: :yippee: :yippee:
