Gone Fishin’!

I know it’s oily, but I want to try it out myself. Anything will do.

Tarpon is alot like any other fish, it is best lightly dusted with flour and pan fried or baked.

In the good old days, we just fished and could enjoy native trout. We enjoyed fishing at a lake up in the mountains, and the native trout seemed to be a firmer texture. (This is in Oregon) I just wonder if some of you old timers ever noticed the difference. I loved fishing and wish I could go as often as I use to…I really need to get out there and at it again. It is probably one of the most relaxing ways we can spend a vacation…for old timers like me anyway.

Where I live, we have three basic kinds of trout — hatchery-raised fish stocked in waterways by the state, wild but nonnative fish, and wild native fish.

The stocked trout, which you call "planter fish," are usually sterile rainbow trout and albino rainbow trout raised at hatcheries and placed in waterways when they reach 8 or so inches long. They are easy to catch and some folks say they have a "weaker" flavor. There have been studies on the fat content, body mass, coloration, and muscle fiber of sterile hatchery fish and fertile wild fish, and it was found that there is a demonstrable difference. The wild fish had various attributes that made them more desirable to eat. I'm told that the stocked fish get better to eat as they grow. Some stocked rainbow survive a few years and apparently after a few years they don't taste as weak or spongy.

The wild but nonnative trout here are brown trout that have been here for many years, perhaps a hundred or more. The brown trout seem smarter and more difficult to catch, and for this reason and others they grow larger. A nice 18-inch wild brown from the waters here has a flaky, butter-colored flesh that is very flavorful and distinctive. My personal theory is that wild fish taste better because of their varied diets and lifestyles — hatchery fish basically hold still and eat fishfood for the first year of life, whereas wild fish eat a wide variety of food items and they have to work for it. It makes sense that the stocked fish would have fatty, pale flesh.

The wild and native trout here are Bonneville cutthroat trout. They run somewhat smaller than the wild browns, and we don't often eat them because they're natives and we're trying to keep them from being displaced by the brown trout. However, I have eaten a few and if I remember their meat was similar to that of the wild browns.

In any case, yes, there are differences — the difference between the wild and stocked fish is particularly noticeable. My palate is not particularly discerning, and I don't eat THAT many fish, and even I can tell a difference most of the time.

on guys does it matter if the eyebrows dont angle down and does it matter if they r uneven shape? does it change alot in a girls opinion?

It really doesnt matter to a girl unless there isnt a uni-brow.
if you go to a nail salon you can have them wax it for pretty cheap.

Good luck

My dad still has his old reel-to-reel player and he's got at least a dozen reels of music and radio interviews from the 60s-80s that he's always said he'd love to convert to CD. I'm not sure if this is possible – Does anyone know of an electronic device (an affordable one??) out there that will allow him to make CDs out of his reels? My brother and I think this is a perfect Christmas present for him, but we don't know if it exists. Thanks!!

it in your computer read the media record instructions under controls etc

A fisherman casts his bait into the river at an angle of 25°. As the line unravels, he notices that the bait and hook reach a maximum height of 2.9 m. What was the initial velocity he launched the bait with?

Casting:
V_y = V sin (theta)
h = V_y * t – 1/2 g t^2
t= V_y/g
2.9m = V sin 25 t – 1/2 9.8 t^2
2.9 m = Vsin25 (Vsin25/g) – g/2 (V sin25/g)^2
2.9 m = (Vsin25)^2/(2g)
V = 1/sin25 * sqrt (2g * 2.9m)
V =17.85 m/s

What is the best bait that mostly insures you will catch a saltwater catfish? Where can you get it at?

Thanks for all the help,

Shrimp work but I think squid are the best. they can be found in most bait shops

I play tackle football and I want to play defense. I run very fast and hit hard, especially when the player doesnt see it coming. I use to play linebacker, but because I am so fast, I want to change my position. What do u think I should play?

Corner, it requires speed, and they have to be some of the best tacklers because most of the time they are left one on one with the speddy wide outs.

This is assuming your as fast as you say you are, If your not comftorable with corner saftey sounds like a good position to.

My KOI carp has jumped out of our garden pond on Sunday after reviving it, it seems to be injured and lathargic. Is there anything we can do to help it or are we being cruel?

Your KOI just did what Kois do. They like to jump out of ponds. Your may recover or may not.

I know that towns and cities started growing in the later middle ages and that eventually kings granted towns the right to govern themselves.

Why would the King allow that?

Also, the main reason the feudal system started was because there was a need for protection. Did the times get safer, so the serfs could leave the land and make a living in the towns?

the fedul system is int that when the king asked them to fight anytime he wanted from the lords in return for land then the lords ask the knights to fight for them and then the knights would ask the serves to look after there land man i think the reasson the king did it was to keep control on the land with at that time was pretty devided by the way the king always ownend the land.

I aquired some fishing lures and noticed some had salt on them from fisighing in salt water but some didnt.Is there a way of cleaning/soaking off the salt ?

A lot of fishing lures will work in both fresh and saltwater but not all of them. What kind of lures you got? Some put salt on freshwater lures on purpose. Salt impregnated soft plastic lures will work better. I have seen dried salt residues on saltwater reels but I don't think I've ever seen any dried salt left on saltwater fishing lures. Don't wash the salt off unless you are absolutely sure.

PS: If you saw salt crystals (looking like table salt), don't clean it off. Salt was there for a purpose and the lure was a freshwater lure.

If the salt looked like a thin layer of dried calcium deposit that was stuck on your lure, you will need to clean your lure. Saltwater lures are not 100% corrosion resistant.
