    Nice Rob. What do you the one different fish. I snagged one similar and don't know what it is. Maybe a whitefish?
    what do you get them to bite on? I had one huge carp.in this big river that was taunting me last year. Tried throwing a line in with corn while I was fishing for other stuff.

    Normally bream are unwanted and a slimey annoyance. I use either bread  corn or chick peas are good soaked over night. 
     Boilies and pop ups but thats  too modern for me. But  they smell so strong  that must be good

    Nice work Rob! Carp are fun as hell to catch.  I always used use corn kernels for them.  Do you have large mouth bass in England? 
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......

    We are not allowed to fish with corn here.  Big fine and no no.

    I fish with corn, super easy with the 8 yr old vs worms and the little fish take it.
    Never heard of it not being allowed.
    Why is that?

    The hatchery's feed the fish corn and were told by every fisherman on the rivers it was illegal.

    I just looked it up and you can use it, no shit.  All these years...  Damnit.

    You can't chum w corn in places but you can put it on a hook.

    I didn't know.

    Guess what I'm fishing with next time?

    Wow.
    Only fish I catch and eat these days are ones from the bayou and gulf of Mexico.
    Know they are all oil-tainted.  Not enough of this consumed to harm me, I don't think.

    Everything local is released.

    dang..I think the only fish I might keep are hatchery raised, so likely uncontaminated. Sad reflection on what humans do to the planet. 
    Take care all

    This is mostly from runoff of the land surrounding and not what people dumped into it.  Water all runs into a river eventually so all the crap and soot gets stuck in there.

    Stop using fertilizer, use horse shit.

    You fish the Delaware?  Any good local lakes near you?

    Don't have a boat so have not, yet.
    Some good ponds and streams and whatnot....but nothing great.  Mostly the local fishing is for the kids to be able to lose bait and learn how to cast.  
    Wanna get offshore here, do you do that at all?

    I used to own a boat and it was docked in belmar. Unfortunately since I sold it I haven’t been offshore.

    What did you catch out there? I tend to romanticize being out in the ocean fishing. Realistically more of a landlover.
