Fishing net

Overfishing is, very simply, catching a large amount of fish so rapidly that the population cannot reproduce fast enough to replace those being caught. Signs of overfishing can go back as early as the 1600’s. In Medieval times a pair of fishing boats would drag a net between the two of them catching everything in its path. During the 1800’s, when humans needed blubber for oil lamps, they killed off a huge population of whales. In California, the herring, cod, and sardine population began to go…

to overfishing, which occurs when fishing activities deplete the population of fish to unsustainable levels, meaning fish are being caught faster than they can reproduce. While many Americans acknowledge the fact that fish are being caught in unsustainable numbers, many fail to realize that overfishing harms marine life in more ways than one. Unwanted fish are accidentally caught by fisheries and are tossed back into the water, often as dead bycatch. A fishing technique called bottom trawling…

Although, these too types of fishing are very similar because in the end your goal is to catch the fish but the huge difference between the two are the types of fish you will catch in the ocean compared to fresh water. Also, the different types of lures, line, rods, and gear hope you enjoy. The majority of anglers…

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…

A. Title The effect of type of net on reducing bycatch B. Introduction/Purpose “ Demand for seafood and advances in technology have led to fishing practices that are depleting fish and shellfish population around the world. Fishers remove more than 77 billion kilograms (170 billion pounds) of wildlife from the sea each year”( National Geographic 2015). The depletion of fish across the globe could lead to many economic and environmental issues if the amount of bycatch is not reduced…

Movie, TV show, magazine, Internet and so on, everything you see from different media and different elements in these media such as the words, the images, the colors, the sounds, the angle of camera, are designed to make you think, sense and experience in a particular atmosphere (Beaton,2012).

animal is being pushed to extinction. The vaquita is the world’s smallest cetacean that lives solely in the narrow body of water that runs from the Baja peninsula to Mexico and it is currently on the brink of extinction due to being trapped in the nets fishermen use to illegally capture totoaba. Totoaba are large fish (the size of a football linebacker) and they are sought after for their bladders, which is a delicacy that also is believed to have medical purposes in China. Because the totoaba’s…

The type of crappie fishing tackle you use is a personal choice; it is important that you feel comfortable with it and you can get the "feel" to know what the bait is doing as it maneuvers underwater and you can detect the sometimes tap-tap light hit of a crappie. My pet rig is a six-and-a-half-foot spinning rod, medium action, fitted with an ultra light Mitchell 308 reel filled with 6lb. test monofilament. A spincast outfit is plenty good; even fly tackle in some specialized situations, a…
