I have no clue, but if there were a "Best Question" classification here, I would vote for yours, my friend. Brilliant question.

Why wouldn't it be?  I can't imagine anyone letting that go on without some intervention from the law.  Who knows what is actually going on out there, since we all know that "going fishing" is just another way of saying "going out to drink beer in a boat" \n\nI hate to drink alone... there ought to be a law against it.

yeah, just cast your line out into the sand, you're bound to catch something.  probably just illegals sneaking across the border though.\nhow stupid are you?  you have to fish in the water.

If you can get a boat out from Brora,Golspie or Helmsdale area you can get some cracking sport.I fished that area last year and we filled 10 boxes with cod and ling between 7 rods and I think only 1 trace got lost and that was due to fisherman error.\nThe boat we used was called Bonny Lass and the skipper was called Tom Macrae (sorry dont have his number but I am sure its in the phone book)

if they are sick their sonar is off and they lose direction.  Often times, they end up on shore.  Perhaps it is natures way of weeding out the sick and weak.  Still very sad.

I don't know. People like us are like boats we must throw the water in the sea or we will sink. think of it as a splash .Just wipe it of bring the bucket and start throwing in the sea

I got caught going #2 on a riverbank by people passing by in a boat.  I was shielded on three sides with only the water in front of me being "open".  The boat went by, the driver saw me and pointed, and I saw all four of them doubled over in laughter.  I had to "cut" it in half and try to scurry up the hill while trying to pull up my pants!  True story!

Probably because most people are right-handed and thus do the rowing on that side...just a guess though.

I enjoy fishing but seldom do. I really don't care if I catch anything because I don't care to eat fish unless someone else that knows what they are doing cooks it. It is peaceful and relaxing to go.

Working fishing trawlers is pretty hard, and sometimes dangerous. I dont know where you live (obviously) but if you are serious about it, the only thing to do, is to visit your local harbours and approach the skippers as they prepare their boats for fishing. Someone must surely need help. Offer a days service free of charge to show them what your made of, but make sure there is a genuine offer of work before making that offer, otherwise you'll be working all week for free.\n\nYou could also work the harbour, i once knew a chap who helped nearly all the boats as they came back from fishing, helping to sort and unload the catch, an hour here, and an hour there soon adds up, and you wont be out in the dangerous weather. Good luck, its a nice change to find someone looking for work, not just avoiding it.

It might also work for people too drunk to fish.\n\nhttp://rocketfishing.tv/

The only man who would put fishing before a women is one who just got laid!!! Or a guy who would rather Fish and Jack off on his boat than lay his ugly old lady!!

I find fishing to be relaxing, and enjoyable. I love to be in the middle of no where. I can collect my thoughts, and unwind. That's why i like fishing. GO give it a try. :)

FISHING, also called ANGLING, is the sport of catching fish, freshwater or saltwater, typically with rod, line, and hook. Like hunting, fishing originated as a means of providing food for survival.\n\nFishing as a sport, however, is of considerable antiquity. An Egyptian angling scene of about 2000 BC shows figures fishing with rod and line and with nets. A Chinese account of about the 4th century BC refers to fishing with a silk line, a hook made from a needle, and a bamboo rod, with cooked rice as bait. References to fishing are also found in ancient Greek, Assyrian, Roman, and Jewish writings.\n\nToday, fishing, often called sport fishing to distinguish it from commercial fishing, is, despite the growth of towns and the increase of pollution in many sources, one of man's principal relaxations and is, in many countries, the most popular participant sport.\n\nThe problems of the modern angler are still those of his ancestor: where to find fish, how to approach them, and what sort of bait to use. The angler must understand wind and weather. Fishing remains what it has always been, a problem in applied natural history.\n\nThe history of angling is in large part the history of tackle, as the equipment for fishing is called. One of man's earliest tools was the predecessor of the fishhook, a gorge: a piece of wood, bone, or stone an inch or so in length, pointed at both ends and secured off-center to the line. The gorge was covered with some kind of bait. When a fish swallowed the gorge, a pull on the line wedged it across the gullet of the fish, which could then be pulled in.\n\nWith the coming of the use of metals, a hook was one of the first tools made. This was attached to a handline of animal or vegetable material, a method that is efficient only when used from a boat. The practice of attaching the line in turn to a rod, at first probably a stick or tree branch, made it possible to fish from the bank or shore and even to reach over vegetation bordering the water.\n\nFor thousands of years, the fishing rod remained short, not more than a few feet in length. The earliest reference to a longer, jointed rod is from Roman times, about the 4th century AD. At that time also, Aelian wrote of Macedonians catching trout on artificial flies and described how each fly was dressed (made). The rod they used was only 6 feet (1.8 metres) long and the line the same length, so that the method used was probably dapping, gently laying the bait on the surface of the water.

Because they are like creeks that have lots of branches that all end of at the big river.\nLike my money flowing faster and faster away all the time!\nAnd then there is those times when the floods just wipe me out!

I agree with shaver, but you need to realize that fly fishing takes more skill than any other type of fishing because you want the lure to land very near the same place each time.   This will more readily attract the fish to the bait if they see a pattern.
