In addition to the argument that new laws are harmful, some believe that they are completely unnecessary. Since 1988, the amount of fish caught around the globe annually has been dropping (“The Threats”). Scientists believe the sustainable amount of fish able to be taken from the ocean each year is between 110 million and 150 million tons (“Overfishing 652-654”). The current annual global catch is 90 million. The number of boats in New England waters has decreased from 1,200 to 580 since the…
It was so hot today, I could practically hear death call my name (personification). I was, standing over the first fish that I caught, thinking to myself, “fishing is funner than I thought”. I had just caught a 4 inch sunfish with a cane pole of all things. I kept thinking “omg, omg, omg omg”. After about 5 minutes of thinking about this cool fish and how I was going to show it to my Uncle Jimmy and let him say “nice buddy, catch another big one”, but then I realized that the fish was dying…
The simple fishing story told in The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway represents Hemingway’s life and writing success through the character portrayed in the book. Santiago’s desire to achieve his goals of catching a great fish and superior recognition in the fishing community is exactly like the author who wants the same in his field. Hemingway communicates his inner struggle as a writer and his perceptions of the world through the simplicity of this fishing story. He achieves this via…

At New Melones Reservoir, the water level dropped just one-foot last week, leaving the concrete ramp off Glory Hole Point open. A courtesy dock is in place at the dirt ramp, which…
You can use a wide variety of lures to catch them. My night trolling technique, however , is strictly a crankbait- type of fishing. There are dozens of crankbaits available and each one has its own time and place. CHOOSING AND USING CRANKBAITS 1. Size of lure: Generally, the larger the lure used, the larger the walleye you will catch. I caught a ten puonder once with a 12 inch sucker minnow and several several shad in it's belly, yet the fish still struck a lure with a stuffed belly. Size…
Here are some of the advantages of using a baitcaster: 1. Accuracy – The best thing about using a baitcast reel is you can accurately lure your target wherever you want it to go. In case you hit a snag, you can easily recover it. Practicing your casting technique allows you to have more accuracy on your casting. 2.

The provision of the great catch is one that will be embedded within my memory for as long as I live. It is a lesson that reminds me of what God was doing in my life early in my walk with him. In this lesson, the disciples had been fishing all day and night and it was now morning. Exhaustion frustration, and hunger had set in. The lack of a catch equaled the lack of harvest and the lack of selling in the market place. Which in-turn would cause insufficient funds! Does this sound like any of…
