Is it possible to catch a porpoise with a fishing pole? They seem too smart to fall for a baited hook.?

Porpoises (I assume you mean small cetaceans) hunt their food with natural sonar (like bats), and it's sensitive enough for them to distinguish between healthy fish and sick fish (or, presumably, dead fish). So they're not likely to go for a baited hook.\n\nBut the question is, why would you want to catch them?

Chuck, \n\nDont spray your line down man!!!! no need to put other things in the water that may deter the fish from slammin' on your bait. email me at Brgwski@msn.com.\nlet me know what your fishin for (usually), and tell me if you put the line on yourself. and what your flippin in the water

Not unless they have a open soar in they're mouth and you also.Other than that it will take a whole ocean of saliva to catch it.L.P.N for 5yrs.

I think you want to know the difference between a porpoises and a dolphin. (If that is the case, then consider my answer but if not then never mind. )\n\n>>Porpoises have spatulate (spade-shaped or flattened) teeth distinct from the conical teeth of dolphins.\n>>Porpoises are relatively r-selected compared with dolphins: that is, they rear more young more quickly than dolphins.\n>>Porpoises tend to be smaller but stouter than dolphins. \n>>Porpoise's dorsal fin is generally triangular, rather than falcate (curved) like that of many dolphins.\n>> Porpoises tend to be less acrobatic and more wary than dolphins.\n>>Porpoises are rarely held in captivity in zoos or oceanaria, as they are generally not as capable of adapting to tank life nor as easily trained as dolphins.\n>>Porpoises belong to the Family Delphinidae, while dolphins belong to the Family Phocoenidae. \n>>extended beak present in most dolphins is absent in most porpoises.\n>>Porpoises lack a melon, while the bulbous forehead is often observed in dolphins.\n>>Porpoises are rarely observed in groups of more than one or two individuals, in contrast of the dolphins.\n>>Dolphins can be observed bow-riding, or riding on the pressure wave of a large ship or whale, on passing vessels. Unlike dolphins, porpoises are rarely seen bow-riding.♥

You can't "hook" anyone unless they want to be "hooked"...for sure don't through yourself at him...just be yourself, if he falls for you "GREAT", if he doesn't "It wasn't meant to be".  Good Luck.

The best kind of bait to use if you could have only one kind is a good old fashioned worm.  Crawlers work great.  \n\nOf course, there is no one kind of bait that works ALL the time, which is why there are so many other types of bait.  I have tried snails, shrimp, minnows, and worms, and worms seem to work somewhat better than the others in most seasons.\n\nIf you can't get your worm to stay on the hook, you might want to look into using plastic or rubber worms.\n\nAs for WHERE to fish, the trick to that is thinking about where the fish can hide bug still be able to jump out and find food.  This is typically on the edges of things like the edge of a dropoff, the edge of where a stream runs into a lake, the edge of the water where there are lots of tree roots and shade.

Well if you don't know their name, number etc.. then you are kind of out of luck hun. More fish in the sea, bait your hook up..

They COD if you're not careful.  PLAICE them in a shaded area. They like music - it's calms them as long as it's on pitch - get a piano TUNA if necessary. Don't play it too loud though - it could be a bit of a SHARK to their system  They are partial to modern art too - particularly Jackson POLLOCK!\n\nDid you ask this question on PORPOISE to get answers like this? Would you like me to FINish now?  Or should we KIPPER line of communication open? If so, you'll be HERRING from me again shortly!

I like your style. I did the same and ended up with a lady that can do the following:\nThrow a net, pump prawns, bait up her own hooks, make her own knots, put boat in the water and even drive the boat herself and this is just mentioning a few.\n\nTook me I while to teach her, but it was time well spend. These ladies are scares but keep on advertising you will find one.

Try a Rapala "shad rap" in a perch pattern.  I have found it to be very productive for lake perch. A few years ago, I caught almost 30 perch in 3 hours using this lure.  Tight lines.

Is a long line with buyes, every 100 yards or so, a small line with a hook and bait is atached.\nUsually is several miles long.\nThe boats leave it for a day and return to check what is been hooked. Usualy marlins and sharks, but can be anything.\nIt is not a selective method for fishing, and is prohibited in many countries.

Braided fishing line would work...get as heavy as you can.

ADVANTAGES: This particular rig has been working for hundreds of years. You almost can't go wrong. Simple and deadly. A "sinker-slide", a "Pyramid" sinker, and a "Circle" hook can catch a variety of fish including, Sheep-head, Redfish, Trout, Drum, Catfish, Croakers, Whiting, ETC.\n\nDISADVANTAGES: There really aren't many. It depends on where, and WHAT you are fishing for.\n\n Then again, If you mean this Q as an analogy, many MEN/WOMAN get "caught" "hook line & sinker", so it must work VERY well!!! lol

There are many lures of this type..... just look through the RAPALA Lures & STORM lures catalogue, and you'll find plenty.\nLike all lures they're mainly used for catching predatory fish, such as Pike, Perch & Bass.... see this British article on the subject: http://www.esox.co.uk/new_page_22.htm\n\nIf you really want to learn as much as possible about fishing, I suggest investing in copies of:\nJohn Bailey's Complete Guide to freshwater fishing\nhttp://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/1843305674/qid=1148527304/sr=1-15/ref=sr_1_0_15/202-1803687-5659022\n\nThe NEW Encylopedia of Fishing\nhttp://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0751339733/qid=1148527285/sr=1-33/ref=sr_1_2_33/202-1803687-5659022\nand\nJohn Wilson's Fishing Encylopedia\nhttp://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0752219111/qid=1148527363/sr=1-24/ref=sr_1_0_24/202-1803687-5659022

some wildlife "experts" consider themselves to be very knowledgeable of the creatures they are around. they do have mishaps, but generally if you're calm and careful nothing will happen. if anything he gets hyped up on adrenaline doing what he does.

you can go and live by the beach and have a pool at your house and you can go deep sea fishin(i did that once)if you use chuncks of dead fish it works as bait(i leave by the beach in the Philipines, its really hot here and the fish r big, but i never go fishing cuz im not patient enough, but i have a deep pool in my yard too)and if you hava a house by the beach you can also go scuba divin.
