I am trying to find a place to go salt-water fishing in Rhode Island. I called the Fish and Wildlife Service and did not get a good answer for a place to go fishing in the ocean. Also, I did not quite know how to categorize this question, there really didn’t seem to be a proper place. Thank you in advance for your help!

I have a very old fishing pole with the reel, it looks to be from before 1950’s, I live in CT and I know a while ago it was worth atleast 200. Is there a website or a physical place near Norwalk, CT I can take it to so they can check it out? Thanks for any help.
its one piece, 4′8″ i believe its a fly rod, bamboo hand made, and the marking one it have been rubbed off. the only thing left is B37, and its looks like there was a black 2 lined box around what ever was written on it. Sorry there isnt more

What is the best pike fishing technique?

I’m going Pike fishing in the dead stream between Houghton lake, MI and 127. It has murkey waters, with channels about 6-8 ft deep x 20 ft across, running through a flood plain thats almost always has about 2 ft of water in it. What is the best lure or live bait to use? What part of the channel should I fish in? Any tips or tricks? Ive only reeled one pike out of here before, and I took it with a pike minnow. I mostly just wind up with bass or dog fish on my line.
I forgot to ask this, should I use a steel leader, Ive had a few pike chomp right through 15lb line.

I just recently moved to the Jersey Shore (Asbury Park Area) and am really interested in fishing. I’ve only fished for bass and lake perch on Lake Erie in the past, so I have no idea where to start or what bait to use. Thanks for the help!

fishing
I am a serious bassfisherman from Japan. Besides working a full-time job in New Jersey, I fish bassfishing tournaments. My full-time job is nothing to do with bassfishing. To contribute all my life for bassfishing, I would like to move to south and work in fishing tackle industry, but don’t know how to find a job in fishing tackle industry. Could someone please help me find a job in the industry? I want to stay in the industry and the sport as much as possible.

Thank you!

While fishing, you get bored and start to swing a sinker weight around in a circle below you on a 0.23 m piece

While fishing, you get bored and start to swing a sinker weight around in a circle below you on a 0.23 m piece of fishing line. The weight makes a complete circle every 0.60 s. What is the angle that the fishing line makes with the vertical?

I had 88.8 degrees but that is not the right answer to this problem. Please help.

I’m 24 years old and will be arriving in Anchorage on May 17th. I’d like to find work on a fishing boat. I’ve heard that Homer is a great place to work out of. What’s it like there as far as possibilities to find a job on a fishing boat? What is there to do when I’m in port? What are other options in other Alaskan towns? What are the conditions like working for the canneries?

What kind of different types of fishing are there?

My uncle and i went fishing and he used this rod but it did’nt have a reel. instead, it was held parallel to the water and a floating stick was at the end of the line. when a fish bit, the stick would sink or rise and he would pull the rod up with fish. i was wondering what this kind of fishing is called.

What type of sinker should i use when fishing off a pier?

By On December 23, 2008 5 Comments
fishing
I’m fishing in Galveston off a pier in the morning should I use a pyramid sinker (I have a 2 and 3 oz.) or one with the round bottom.(1 or 2 oz.) I’m going to have two leaders coming off it with live or frozen shrimp if this matters any.

Or if neither any suggestions would be appreciated.

New to saltwater fishing here.
