Gulf seafood safety under dispute

November 27th 2010 01:57
I mentioned the BP fallout yesterday and it's worse than I thought.

Since I had some time to kill, I was surfing around and found a link to this report.

If there's one thing I like it's scientific soap operas!



Remember to take the hooks outta yer pocket before ya sit down!

More BP fallout

November 26th 2010 00:46
Will we ever hear the end of the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico?

Although the spill itself was capped weeks ago there is still dispute. For instance, federal officials have pronounce seafood from the Gulf safe for human consumption. However, residents and experts dispute that claim.

Crown of thorns

When they do the census every ten years here in the States, I wonder if it really takes that long.

Give kite fishing a try!

November 17th 2010 02:46
kite fishing
Like any fishing, one of the keys to surf fishing is getting to where the fish are. That often means super long casts to get beyond breaking waves. If you have a sore arm or are just feeling tired, why not try a kite?

Kite Fishing is a technique of fishing that involves flying kites, and using the kites to suspend live baits on the top of the water. Charter fishing boats have been using a long time to hook up with some of the species that swim in the sea.

The reality of basking sharks

October 17th 2010 00:52
basking shark

Basking is usually thought of as exposing yourself to pleasant warmth, usually the sun. So, I didn't think it was much of a stretch to figure basking sharks are the usual, run of the mill sharks, swimming near the surface, catching some rays.

A little surf fishing

September 24th 2010 15:08
It's been a little over two years since I last surf fished so, it was no wonder this video stirred a restless feeling in my heart.

Here's why fish don't freeze in the Arctic

September 14th 2010 01:08
arctic fish
Have you ever wondered why fish in the Arctic Ocean don't freeze when the surrounding air temperature is around freezing while the water is below freezing and is only liquid because of its saltiness?

So did I.

Shark Fin Soup Boycott

August 23rd 2010 03:42
The cruelty of shark fin soup has been realized by at least one Hong Kong couple who recently neglected to include the dish in their wedding menu.

shark finning
In many instances fins alone are removed from sharks and they are then thrown back into the water to drown while the fins are sold as a delicacy supposedly to boost sexual potency, prevent heart disease and cholesterol, or enhance skin quality.

What happens when you fish without a license?

Maybe the fine is $25, $50 or even $100.

Say hello to the cuttlefish

June 25th 2010 01:35
cuttlefish
I was watching TV the other day and came across a fish I had heard of but, never knew much about--the cuttlefish.

Cuttlefish are sea-going animals related to octopi and squid and lack a hard shell over their body. The average angler will probably say something like, "The ocean? Lotta difference between that and the pond out back."

Bull sharks in India

June 24th 2010 00:40
Here's a fairly cool video I got the other day from NatGeo.

The vid follows a study on shark attacks in Indian rivers which results in, (duh!) bull sharks.

Sharks in the Ohio River

May 14th 2010 05:40
It hardly made news like the excitement when a shark terrorized Amity, however, a shark has washed up here in the U.S. in, of all places, the Ohio River.It gets even better--it happened in Pulaski, Illinois.

I'll admit, I had to get the map out for this so don't feel bad for saying, "Where?" It's late and I'm tired so, I can't wrap my mind around turning the map I found into a jpeg. Suffice to say, Pulaski is almost as far south as you can get in Illinois and is WAY south of Chicago! And yet it's North of where I live so, go figure!

Dog and shark

March 24th 2010 01:35
If you've ever had a dog, you've probably experienced the heady feeling of the animal presenting a dead carcass at your feet. It's usually something like a rabbit or something long those lines.

Here's something you don't see every day--a dog dragging a shark ashore!

February 17th 2010 00:04
Shark stories are a dime a dozen these days--especially in Australia!

BUT here's a report you'll probably find as interesting as I did.

The good and bad of conservation

February 7th 2010 05:10
fishing boats
There's a lot of difference between guys who throw a hook into the water and guys who make a living casting giant nets into the water and measuring success by the ton!

Here's a really good article I found about a commercial fisherman in Great Britain who finally had to hang it up because of government regulations and conservation measures.

Fishing in a kayak

February 3rd 2010 02:34
Although I have several irons in the fire right now, I'm also giving considerable consideration to purchasing a kayak.

Frequent readers to this blog will know I don't have a boat or even want one.

Tuna in the news (again)

January 17th 2010 01:18
Charlie the Tuna
The other day I wrote about a giant tuna and the record price it set at a Japanese auction.

I found a follow-up to the story reporting diners have been urged to avoid the tuna because numbers of its species, the blue fin, are falling.

Matt Wilson--he flies, he swims...

January 14th 2010 02:36
I must be going through Matt Wilson overload this week!

This video shows more about his demeanor than I could ever tell! In this clip he jumps from a helicopter into the ocean and wrestles a marlin! Either one would probably be an accomplishment for the average person!
