In my research on the Osprey I found that it has such unique characteristics that it has been given its own taxonomic genus, Pandion, and family, which is the Pandionidae. An Osprey gravitates towards shallow fishing grounds because they are unable to dive more than about three feet below the water’s surface, therefore, their habitat includes almost any shallow fish-filled waters, such as rivers, lakes, reservoirs, swamps, or marshes. It is the only hawk on the continent that eats almost…

The female anglerfish are much larger than the males. The females are also the only ones whose dorsal fin grows into a fishing rod-like lure…

has always been too passive of an activity for me to completely enjoy. Finally, I would be able to get into the water and bring the fight to the fish. The first thing we needed to get was a fishing license from the State of Florida’s department of Fish and Game. We were able to easily download two of the Saltwater/Freshwater Fishing Combo licenses on our phones for a mere thirty-two dollars each. The whole thing only took about five minutes and was worth avoiding the hundred and thirty eight…
