Evelyne Wagnon explains why the game came about.
My husband, JC Wagnon, has been fishing for quite a long time, starting in the NT some 25 years ago and now, here, in South Australia for the past 10 years. He taught both our sons buy cheap amoxil who now better fishermen than he is. I wasn’t all that keen myself but, when our sons left home and I was keeping JC company on fishing trips, I took it up and started to appreciate it. We were always mindful of the rules buy cheap Camagra online without prescription and taught our children to respect them too.
However, we couldn’t help but notice, while travelling all around Australia, that there were always some people who had pretty bad fishing habits, not necessarily illegal habits… just bad ones. Although it has improved a little, there are still some people who try hard to catch the bag limit so, in their eyes, it’s a ‘worthwhile’ trip or they stretch the fish they catch to make it the ‘right’ size; or keep everything they catch, even if they throw it away in the end, instead of releasing the fish they are not going to eat or use in any way, and so on…
One day, some 10-12 years ago, we were discussing these bad habits and JC came up with the idea of a game, a family board game, that would be both entertaining and educational. I took some notes, and every time we were talking about it (often after long intervals on the ‘back burner’), I was taking more notes, until the idea started to take shape.
