we carry all the usual gadgets
T bars, long t bars for things with teeth, and Gemini ones for smaller species.
while they are fine for a lot of catch and release,
I also have one, that is like a big version on a fresh water anglers disgorger. it is made of flat stainless instead of bent bar and has a notch in the end so that a hook can be pushed down into the fishes throat, before being extracted.
Anything more awkward than that and we cut the line as close as possible to the hook.

I am afraid Twizzler sticks are fine for retained fish, but not if they are going back.
even with thin small hooks the fish would be damaged.
A few well stocked and protected areas may well be one of the best ways to protect a small piece of our fish stocks.
I have not looked into this too closely, but agree that RSA's are being short sighted if they stand against this just on principle.

Good memories mate
Lets hope we get the 2009 forecast again
the wrecks are loaded,
banks covered in flats
and hungry tope at speedy
Is that too much to ask??
