Sometimes the best part of fishing is when you don’t catch anything but get a chance to see a sailboat silhouetted against a blue sky, listen to a bird’s song, or watch the beauty of a dragonfly as it skims across the water's surface.
If goldfish could talk, what a tale they could tell! At least that's the case for one lucky goldfish in Lanarkshire, Scotland. His owner thought Pooh, as the fish has come to be called, was going belly up and down the tubes he went--the fish that is. Until he was rescued by a sewer worker.
If you think live goldfish are an unusual find in sewers, according to a BBC report, items such as deck chairs, false teeth, and an outboard motor have turned up in Scottish waste.
Remember to take the hooks outta yer pocket before ya sit down!
Here's a clip about a fun way to fish. It's called JUGGING.
Jugging is taking a line, tying it to a drink bottle or something else that floats, and at the other end having a circle hook. Then, you throw it into the water to catch fish. The nice thing about this method of fishing is that you get to zip around in your boat and pick up the floats when you catch a fish!
Back in the day they used glass bottles sealed with corn cobs. I can just see some wino polishing off a bottle of whiskey, tossing his empty and then roasting fish on an open fire. Now a days, since bottled water is so popular, the bottles are often used but other popular floats are bleach jugs, soda bottles, or cut up "noodles" like kids use at pools.
You'll probably want to attach 4-5 feet of heavy line to your float. The exact length depends on what you trying to hook and where you are. Bait will depend on what you're after. This is popular with catfish anglers and they often use chicken liver or night crawlers.
Jugging is best done in lakes or ponds where you don't have to worry about a current. If you decide to give it a shot in a river or creek, try a day when the current is slow and if you still notice your float going downstream, try adding some some sand or gravel to your float. Self respecting anglers always have a few extra sinkers, so, you may want to try these. Just remember to get them back when you're done!
Jugging can be a lot of fun. BUT, MAKE SURE IT'S LEGAL IN YOUR AREA! And, don't forget to take those plastic bottles home.
Remember to take the hooks outta yer pocket before ya sit down!
No matter what kind of fishing you do, if you're starting to think about hunting and think you're done fishing for the year, make sure you loosen the drag on your reel if you plan on putting it away until next season.
Tales of giant catfish both fascinate and appall. These behemoths unite us is a fear of the murky depths although we may live hundreds if not thousands of miles from the nearest shark--what we usually think of at the mention of "monsters of the deep."
Some catfish actually do grow to tremendous sizes. Weights of over 600 pounds or over 270 kilograms and 10 feet or three meters are documented so photographs of anglers displaying fantastic catches are not uncommon. However, it's when these photographs are coupled with bogus reports that trouble or even urban legends begin.
Stories about man-eating catfish spring up all the time from areas in Asia or South America.
Usually, the term is used to identify a giant fish having the capacity to devour a human rather than the fact that it has actually consumed human flesh.
I had to laugh at this...What really amuses me is these guys from the 70's who still have the fro complete with the receding hair line. I work with one!
Just for the record--Beyonce can do no wrong in my book!
This is all too easy! That picture has everything! My favorite is Daffy Duck and you have a line from my favorite cartoon because Bugs is a close second.

I must admit though, I have a soft spot for "The Lost Boys."
