I dangle when i need more stability, last Saturday after we fished Fort Ross I was pulling pots in Doran Beach and surely dangling for the first 3 pots after I went back for the last 3 it was dark and found myself with my feet in the water and no one around me then i started to hear the music from the movie shark in my head, then my feet when right on top of the kayak.
yes i dangle unless my head is playing tricks on me.

I am a dangler/ side saddler. I'm also in denial.

Dangle, sidesaddle and hang fish and will continue to do so. Feels unstable to fight big fish with my feet inboard.
So I'm packing my bags for the Misty Mountains, where the spirits go...........

I don't hang fish over the side on the salt. Not a good idea, a sea lion drive by cured me of that.

Let me explain something to you. Um, I am not "Mr. Lebowski". You're Mr. Lebowski. I'm the Dude. So that's what you call me. You know, that or, uh, His Dudeness, or uh, Duder, or El Duderino if you're not into the whole brevity thing.

Never do the dangle. Just never felt comfortable for some reason, feels too bow legged
See I enjoy going swimming with bowlegged women,,, but paddling, not so much..

Last year at Shelter Cove I pulled a greenling away from a big hitchhiker ling and he grabbed the end of my foot out of frustration. When I shook him off my foot he grabbed the ling I had hanging. It was hilarious. Man I love lings.

We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.

I want to stay as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all kinds of things you can't see from the center.

Live your life, the way you want to be remembered. Don't have any regrets, we only get this one dance to make it count. Start at your eulogy, and work backwards.

  I don't fish the ocean enough to "Dangle" :smt010

 While on fresh water, I did dangle.

Yes. No way to avoid dangling at times. I wonder if Raptor owners need to dangle as much as Caribbean owners.
