Who are you?

Funny how some people who believe they have something to say hide behind a false name. I have always said right or wrong that I will always identify myself and take a whipping if deserved. It carries a lot more weight if a strong comment as we see here, from time to time, comes from a real person and not someone with a false beard.

So lets hear who you are you secretive bloggers. Put a name beside your falsie and tell us a bit about yourself. Then we can listen to what you have to say without thinking its John Key under another name.
I know many of you but others I dont. I would be interested to hear from the following......Hangler, Tzer,The Druid, happyfish, slayliner, Abu Man and others that are hiding.
I'll start the ball rolling if you like,,<,,,,,,,

GaryK....Gary Kemsley, member Pania Surfcasting Club, NZ Landbased Gamefishing Club, Sales Manager for Pure Fishing NZ Ltd. Columnist for HB Today and Fishing News Magazine.

I look forward to your responses.

I have been fishing all my life and am a Foundation and life member of the Matamata Fishing Club, Member Tauranga Sports Fishing Club, Ex Member NZ Landbased Fishing Club.

Gary - Since we last met I have been living in Ohakune fishing some great Trout Fishing rivers here in the Ruapehu district. I have also travelled to Alaska, Canada and a number of states in the USA. however still feel that NZ has the best fishing. One day may fish a surf casting comp and meet up with you again

Another Bob, Dunning,this time, from Orewa and in the process of shifting to Papamoa. Came to NZ from Scotland in 1962, by boat, was sick all the way, hence, land based fishing. Know some stuff, but NEVER enough and always learning.

Posted by Hangler <iframe src='https://members5.boardhost.com/surfcasting/info/user=Hangler' width='330' height='300' border=0 style='border:none;'> on 21/2/2015, 4:13 pm, in reply to "Who are you?"

I find contents of the opening post to be very patronising. Gary, you are a member of this site, not the owner or the person who sets the rules. Your suggestion should have been put to the owners, then should they decide that members need to submit a profile so be it. This way should members decide to withdraw their patronage it comes from those with the right to ask ... not you.

People do not need to submit a profile to have their thoughts published in letters to the editor of national newspapers, either here or overseas. I did not need to submit a publishable profile to become a member of the 'World Sea Fishing' forum. I do not need to submit a profile to put fishing clips on YouTube ... therefore I ask: What it so wrong with this site you believe it is necessary to abuse a member's right to privacy?

You use this site to push the products you are associated with, in other words free advertising - no doubt with the owner's consent. Your musings on the merits of the original Veritas rod are legendary. The faults that were pointed out with the early rod were substantiated. In the new model it was admitted the line guides were poor, the poor fitting of rod joints (and no rod case) these were all cured in the latest model. Long live freedom of the site, even though you don't like it.

This sort of back biting will be the ruination of the site, soon there will only be members of the Pania Club left, rather like an 'old boy's network'.

So we have a few who have the courage to voice their thoughts on here. Some are controversial and long may it remain so. Some can put an opposing point of view whilst still respecting the views of others, sadly some can't and need to insult rather than consult.

I will not be putting my name and profile on here, simply because I have the right not to do so. Until the owners change the way they accept new members I suggest all members should be made welcome and their right to use a pen name should be respected.

HANGLER!!!

Re: Who are you?

I'm Andrew Reyngoud. I took up surfcasting when I lived in Tokoroa, worked at Kinleith as a Chemical Engineer and fished the Matata straights.
I have been in Hawkes Bay for 7 years now and am enjoying the fish being a little closer. I have changed professions, and am the Pastor at Flaxmere Baptist Church. That means that Sunday fishing competitions don't work for me

. However, my work also means I have time off in the middle of the week (isn't it always yesterday that the fish were biting?) and I have some flexibility so if the day looks good I can head off early

Apparently Mr Hangler doesnt agree. He wants annonimity so he can stir up people like my mate Rex.
Its not compulsory Hangler, I just thought it would be fun to know who we are talking to. It wasnt a go at anyones privacy.
Loosen up and enjoy us all. I dont care who you are and will still listen if you have something decent to say.
Looks like others think its a good idea too.

Great idea Gary, and like you say, if someone wants to keep their anonymity that is fine with most of us on here. I am Bruce Glass from Papamoa Beach, retired but not fishing as much these days as I should be. I have fished with Abu overheads since I was about 10 years old. A friend & I started the local Club here and I have also spent some time on the NZACA Executive. I am in the phone book for anyone who wants a chat. Cheers and happy hooking.

Phill, Hanglers not happy with my suggestion that we identify ourselves (if we want to).
Apart from suggesting that he fish in a berhka I dont know how to help him.
If you dont agree that this is a good idea for those wanting to be part of the surfcasting fraternity I am happy for you to delete. However at the moment he is the only one voicing his displeasure.
Hangler, your attitude spoils the feeling of this board and is not the New Zealand way of sharing and caring.

Hi all - I am Allan Bamber - you don't hear much from me but I check the site every day. Been retired from the Fire Service for a couple of years and live in Taradale Napier. Trout fishing was a major passion for years followed by surfcasting and a bit of hunting and tramping. Have got the best surfcasting gear I ever have had and not using it enough so maybe need to join the Pania club and get cracking. One of my two grandsons is getting keen so I can sometimes be found down at the inner harbour. Cheers.

the Waikare Fishing Comp.
I’m with Gary. Although I haven’t fished for years (because I can’t get to the water) I follow this board on a daily basis and love it. Nice to hear some names to the made up ones.
The Hanglers (whoever they are) of this world I do not understand. They use a message board as a blogging site. They use too many words to say very little. It’s a message board !!! not a letter to the editor or newspaper column.
Love the stories about “Still a few Kahawai around” and “ My first Snapper” etc. Very cool.
Lectures I’m not waiting for, opinions I will ask for and Novel size posts bore me to tears. Short, sharp and to the point is how I like it
My opinion only of course.
I’m in Wairoa and hoping to meet some fishos soon. (are you listening Chad? Smile )
keep it going guys. I’m not fishing but love reading the stories.
Talking about too long.............
sorry and guilty as sin

Gary, Im not one to hide behind a non deplume its just that I choose to use the name of my boat as many know who Iam because of my boat name call it branding if you wish. I think Gary's post is a good one as it does put a name to a title. Im an ex commercial fisherman but have always had strong passion for recreational fishng hence Im now doing fishing charters here in Gisborne. Im also ex founding member of the NZLBG club along with GaryK which is where I first met him, past member of the Gisborne Surfcasters Club, now club captian of the Gisborne Tatapouri Sports Fishng Club. Have written for NZ Fishing News in the past & the now defunct Coast to Coast. Love a constructive arguement opposed to a destructive one.

Rob Murphy. Caught my first snapper off the beach 8 or so years ago and have been neglecting my family, friends and profession ever since.
Have travelled far and wide but reckon local beaches Papamoa and Waihi offer some of the best surfcasting nationwide.

Favourite fish has to be Lemonfish.

Hangler, people who don't use their name or tend to hide their identity usually create unnecessary storms of arguments. Regardless if you agree or not, every time I log onto this page and see your posts every single one is surrounded with controversy. I would personally have more respect for your opinion if I knew who it was coming from. But thats just me. You would have been better off just avoiding this post and saying nothing at all. Common sense really.

I'm Chad Prentice and I enjoy all aspects of fishing, helping others get into fishing and taking the odd photograph.

Scott Herd. Fisherman of 4 years with one regret. I wish I had discovered fishing from age 5 and not 35.
I find surfcasting the purest form of fishing, however I can't deny I love catching fish by any means (except from the supermarket or from a kontiki). Have caught some nice Trout, Kingfish, Trevally, Snapper, sharks, Hapuka and Kahawai during this time, but still yet to get a +20 pound Snapper or a +20Kg kingfish. Good things come to those who wait. Mainly catch and release unless I need to feed friends or family.
Recently spent some time chasing marlin land- based up North, not a pastime I would recommend for the impatient.

Have fished for trout and sea fish for almost 35 years. Always keen to fish anywhere with a fishing rod in my hands. Had a break from fishing for a few years now I'm finding my passion for it once again.

Hey All
Don’t live on here as much as I use to. But still pop in from time to time. I’m Naki Aka Logan Willemen I am a construction Manager in the Oil and Gas sector, working around NZ.

Originally from Whangarei I have been fishing off and on for 25years Boat, Rocks and Beach and now reside in the wonderful TARANAKI I have meet a number of you and look forward to seeing some of you again soon. (Chad I want a 30kg Kingy this time lol.)
Although I don’t belong to a club/clubs yet, I have small ties to most and enjoy talks with them given my current situation and things to come joining a club has been placed on hold.

I love all things fishing and at least once a week you’ll find me on the beach with a 6 pack of beer a couple of rods and two glow stick twitching backwards and forwards. I also own a boat and get out in that with the family when the weather allows.
I have developed an extensive fishing calendar for the taranaki region, that after 6 long years it, it is finally showing signs of becoming accurate.
I also have a NZ wide moon calendar that a lot of you have had input into that has been put on hold for the last we while but hope to get back into it during the winter when things slow down.
This year I’ve managed to complete a couple of goals by getting the wife and kids hooked up on kingfish and tuna off the back of the boat and of cause having the calendar starting to perform, 2015 has been a long time coming.
This site has a wealth of knowledge in it and the guys who post on it.

I respect your views on most things Hangler and always have a good laugh reading your rants and love the ideas and informative posts you do but honestly mate sometimes you need to pull your head in.
We all understand you like winding certain guys up and that maybe some history but let’s keep it as that, history.
