The fishing thread

[SlowwHand]

No, that's ignorance.

Oh? How so?

You can keep freezing water, thank you very much.
Although, the biggest black bass are caught in January and February.

[Alexander's Horse]

Are those fish stocked by the government or private sources?

Hey Ollie if you like the ocean fishing or "outside" as we call it down here you should come over for a visit. We get huge Yellow Fin Tuna (or "trains" ), Black and other Marlin, Sailfish, Kingfish, pretty much all the Southern Ocean pelagics. It's hot.

To give you some idea small(ish) tuna like Albacore and striped are considered baitfish down here

You hook up one of those brutes and you know you're alive

Sounds like a good idea. Perhaps when my kids are older and I have collected more Air Bonus Points. But what about the venomous jellyfish? One tentacle stuck to your fishing line could kill you, right?

Last year a school of Bluefin tuna swam into an inlet and couldn't find their way out for a few weeks. They were busting off kids tackle and giving people with little rods and reels heart attacks

Great! Sounds like Fort Lauderdale when a sailfish hit while I was fishing for bait. I did not catch it, though.
