Any keen anglers out there in Polyland?

Where do you fish? What do you catch? Do you practice catch and release? Any photos?

I'm mainly a freshwater angler these days, chasing the mighty brown trout in the mountains and lakes hereabout.

I thought it was the "finishing thread". The thread to end all threads :hmm:

I thought that as well. I really didn't expect to see a fishing thread here with all these poly geeks . I mean that in a good way of course.

I don't fish by myself. But if I have buddies that ask me to go fishing with them, I never turn them down. I don't have my own equipment though, and have to borrow theirs.

Last time I went fishing was in Mississippi. It's been a while. The guys I know in Las Vegas don't do any fishing. Not that we have any good fishing. Sure there are fish in Lake Mead- but I wouldn't eat them . There are many dead bodies in that lake.

On the navy base we used to have fishing contests. I won a a fish filleting knife for our team finishing second place. Then we would fry up the fish. This was in the gulf of course. So they were salt water fish. I have fished in rivers as well.

It's not a pleasant feeling, but I would never reveal that in front of other guys.

That's the great thing about peer pressure. I have no problem doing disgusting things if other guys are doing it.

I'm not sure if it is the same kind of fish, but aren't those poisonous?

In freshwater I usually chase pikes. I got an 8 kg monster once , but they can get twice as big as that. The big ones will actually attack ducks swimming in the water.

Not the kind in the Med. There's another one with the same name living on tropical coral reefs.

Here's my garden and the lake where I catch pike (only small ones so far).

This is a thread I like. I might edit in some fishing stories attached to the pictures above, sometimes when I'm not so tired. Now it's bedtime.

In saltwater, I usually just troll, so I get about anything. Mostly mackerel, cod and whiting.
Fishing for crabs at midnight is fun as well.

If you bring fishing stories to this thread CO, it will be bedtime for all of us except for the most ardent insomniac

Fishing must be singularly the most boring activity there is. I often go to the seaside, or the river, and see rows and rows of people standing/sitting there waiting for a tug on their line for hours on end. How is it possible to derive pleasure from such complete monotony?

How?

If I want solace, I go for a walk in the woods, see things. Looking at a rod and a piece of string, waiting for it to twitch for hours on end...well, I just don't get it

i made this thread awhile ago and it seems that the sport hasnt increased in popularity sinc ethen....

Fishing is great PH. It gives you an excuse to idle around and smoke cigarettes all day.

Maybe cuase i used to be an ex-druggie or something.. if im idling around for really long time, I start appreciating lil things. And tides of the water sounds really pleasant and melodic. It's one way I learned to attain bliss without smoking/consuming anything.
