XXXX is bad for Fishers

[cooky]

PR, IMAGE, MARKETING, etc DOES, I repeat DOES shape society, culture, ideas, opinions...... children and young adults (even older ones) are molded / brainwashed by what we/they are exposed to.

Advertising is a VERY powerful medium and often dictates what is considered acceptable, popular, trendy, good, bad.

I sort of get Gary's point, however more analysis would be required into these particular adverts to see if they DAMAGE or in fact BENEFIT fishing in Australia. There are many more drinkers in Australia than Fishermen, there are many more people that support, accept, encourage the Aussie way of life even if not living it themselves. These adverts may actually highlight the benefits of fishing. Fishing people like fishing for various reasons - some hardcore for fishing only, some for social (including beers/bundy). However the average non-fisher potentially doesn't see the interest in 'fishing', but may understand or appreciate the apparent lifestyle option.

must go - c ya

just like to add that I haven't seen the dynamite advert referred to - only referring to trawler and others I've seen.

Some of my best fishing spots are named after fourex. Forourex corner, fourex hole, fourex bluff. I can tell ya they are utter crap and the only thing you can do there is drink.

Well while your idea seems attractive the whole point is that we dont want to look like mugs

And Reporters love to make a story - and they could actually make us look worse. Depending o how they write the story we could come out looking like some red neck fools.

Give me a few days to talk it through

Bloody funny devo!

What about that show something about Aussie adventures where the host's on a Barra trip with his mates. Trying to be serious on camera while his mates keep offering him beers all day which he rejects. By the end of the day no fish, he's ticket off, someones having a leak over the side of the boat and lets out a fart in close proximity to his head while still filming. Bloody brilliant portrayal of a tipical fishing trip for me. They should pay me royalties on that one. Mad me laugh out loud too.
Dont take things too seriously.

By the way I'll be making the trip into Gympie tonight for the GSMP-NS meeting. There's something to spend more energy on.

Tell you what Gary, I reckon if a journo was to log on here and quote some of the garbage thats been said on this subject then they would do more damage to the image of recfishers than the fourex ads.

The excuse that some of them were drunk, on most likely fourex, at the time they posted their comments would not be a very good excuse or example.
