    I have never tried fishing, but I can provide some music while you are waiting for a catch.
    I just hope that both you and the fish enjoy opera. :yum::yum::yum:

    I never stay somewhere where nothing is biting, i cover alot of shoreline and depth. Definitely helps to take all variables like weather, water temp, and what makes the mind of a particular species that you're pursuing tick into consideration

    Thanks for the offer, but unless I'm after something that would key in on noise or vibration like sharks, better to stick with an element of stealth

    Funny I don't really get into the hobby of singing myself but I do have a good opera voice

    Still full of hope, Butterfly was waiting on the shoreline for her lover to return to the island.

    And all your waiting for is a blooming fish.!!!!!!!

    LOL
    Puccini's Butterfly was human and during act 2 she has still not given up hope. ,



    Weeping? And why? And why? Ah, 'tis faith you are lacking Hear me One fine day we'll notice A thread of smoke arising on the sea In the far horizon And then the ship appearing Then the trim white vessel Glides into the harbour Thunders forth her cannon See you? Now he is coming I do not go to meet him Not I I stay upon the brow of the hillock And wait there And wait for a long time But never weary of the long waiting From out the crowded city There is coming a man A little speck in the distance Climbing the hillock Can you guess who it is? And when he's reached the summit Can you guess what he'll say? He will call, "Butterfly" from the distance I, without answering Hold myself quietly concealed A bit to tease him and a bit So as not to die at our first meeting And then, a little troubled He will call, he will call "Dear baby wife of mine, Dear little orange blossom" The names he used to call me when he came here This will all come to pass as I tell you Banish your idle fears For he will return Return

    Sadly, as the curtain drops on act 3, all hope that he would return faded and she killed herself only moments before he returned,

    really? that seems maybe one step above a bachelor party quilting bee.

    not that sea fishing isn't fun, it just doesn't seem bachelorette party material to me.

    Maybe it's a metaphor? They "went fishing" you know, for dudes?

    More women are fishing now than ever before, but yeah they'd have to be tough outdoorsy ones for larger fish, fighting 300 pound sharks and even repeatedly reeling up cod and Pollack that can easily be 10-30 pounds+ from 200+ feet on large saltwater rods with heavy 12 oz jigs and weighted bait rigs is quite physically harsh

    I caught a baby reef shark once. A black tail reef shark on a handline while I was out with my dad and my sisters boyfriends. I also caught a cuttlefish which was cool and from what I remember, a Sgt. Baker fish. I have also gone out marlin fishing once, but we never caught anything that day. I think sea fishing was a bit easier than freshwater fishing because you could use really strong line in the sea, if a fish is hungry it just took your bait lol, every time we dropped a handline we brought something back up, but in freshwater the fish are sneakier and you use thinner line.

    Yeah, large wild freshwater trout are especially wary but things like groundfish species (cod, pollack, haddock), snapper, and grouper amongst many others, seeing as they seem to want to eat all the time end up subjecting themselves to enough of a turkey shoot that harvesting has to be strictly regulated

    We did the usual going out and getting drunk and acting ridiculous thing too. But my friend who was getting married likes to fish, my other friend knew some guys who do chartered fishing trips, a plan came together.

    We definitely didnt catch anything that big l. Just some little bitty baby sharks. Baby sharks, baby sharks
     
  18. I would LOVE to go fishing.
    Especially with friends.

    Still a novelty, baby sharks have kind of a cuteness to them, especially little hammerheads
