Beer and Barra Fishing

[BR65]

Does the enjoyment of a cold beer affect your barra fishing?
If you have a beer in moderation and with in responsible limits whilst you fish, or at camp when you have finished fishing, does it mean you arent switched on to what is happening around you?
Does sharing a beer with ya mates after a day on the water add to your enjoyment of going barra fishing?
Should I leave my esky at home from now on? Should I switch to spirits during the day?
All good, Im interested in all replies, feel free to contribute.

For the original question...yes maybe it does.But I dont give two knobs of goat sh#t.Its taken me a while to get to this stage and some might not agree but the fishing is almost secondry these days.Getting away,relaxing and having a couple of beers is where I am at.Bloody hell flogging yourself to death fishing a stupid amount of hours with no sleep is no fun and its something I just dont enjoy doing.
Catching fish is a bonus.Getting away is the real reward.
For me.

I'd love to come up Barra fishing but going by what I've read in recent times it wouldn't be a viable proposition because I do enjoy a social beer.

I'll stay down here and fish for Cod, Yellas, Silvers & occassionally Trout.

Beer doesn't seem to effect fishing for these other species.

Very strange topic this one

I know some wetback NSW bloke has left Tooheys bottles on the ground, and to be a little more percise there are only a couple so it was taken early

I don't drink while i'm fishing because i'm too busy trying to connect to a fish and it always end up going warm. After a session is a different ballgame. Cant beat an icy cold beer after fishing hard. Ben

There is only 1 fire going when there was space for 2
Brian i don't drink on the boat while fishing as i drink rum and love my rum so if i have 1 i like 2 or 3 or even 4 so i wait till i get back to camp cook dinner and relax and i don't have to worry about being half cut and trying not to hit anyone on the dam but i have no problem with others having a drink while fishing on a hot day

My apologies Chris...I was looking past the obvious and focusing on what I thought was a trick question......As for the Pork roast....cooked to perfection...although the Damper was a failure as I recall (something about plain flour used instead of self raising)apart from that a picture says a thousand words, your right Deano it was a tad cold.

yes whitto, the garlic rock damper was a slight fail.. ..back to the topic, i will always carry a few light beers on the boat, if im not driving, mabe a couple of thicker ones...lunch on the bank with a beer, yep...quick rest and a beer after a few hours casting ,yep, and of course a beer and cheers after a lump of chrome hits the deck,yep...
p.s. some pretty switched on fishoes in that pic, enjoying a beer...
