yeah, when you fish literally IN the ocean, you are no longer top o' the food chain
Adding a life and limb threatening element to fishing makes it MUCH more fun than fishing freshwater...

You are no help at all! Here I was looking for some reasons to keep my baby all safe and attached to my breast for a few more years.
Nah, he's 17 and has tons of fishing experience, was raised doing it with his dad and grandpa. But neither one of them do the ocean thing and since it's something he wants to do and will have to learn it on his own, I think he's at the perfect age. I just want to be sure he's not too y and has the proper respect for the ocean and it's inhabitants when he takes it on.
I remember while yellowtail fishing off of San Clemente Islands a few years back seeing a great white swim near and under our boat. That was an experience that was both thrilling and spectacular when the skipper brought it to our attention. Though he would go on to snatch a few of the yellows caught, he did manage to scare away the swarth of seals and sea lions that were eating our catch with a more voracious appe e. The shark had to be at least 15-18 feet because it was immense.
This 12' Tiger Shark was recently caught and released at the upper national seashore...
he'll be fine, like many have said, it's rare to be attacked. Just remind him that he'll have a stringer of, essentially, cut bait/chum attatched to his body while he wades. also invest in good wading boots and always always shuffle your feet cause nothing is worse than getting barbed by a stingray.Gulp

Also, tell him to watch out for the catfish looking hard heads that he and his buddies will inevitably catch a load of. They look exactly like catfish but their dorsal and pectoral fins have a heinous barb on them thats coated with slime and bacteria. if they mishandle it while getting it off the hook and get barbed, not only will it hurt like but it WILL get infected.

good god. released??This 12' Tiger Shark was recently caught and released at the upper national seashore...
Not to mention Vibrio vulnificus. A flesh eating bacteria that kills more fishermen every year than sharks.
hahahaha dont tell her that. there hasnt been an incident in like 5 years
I'm fishing a tournament there next weekend...
Huh? There are dozens of cases every year...hahahaha dont tell her that. there hasnt been an incident in like 5 years
Seriously, we have gotten really serious about protecting against this...wash and clean any wading cuts immediately, wipe down with sanitizer, etc. We fish down in Baffin and are always knocking up against rocks. Thats some bad stuff.hahahaha dont tell her that. there hasnt been an incident in like 5 years
!!CRAP!!
guess i've just been out of the loop for a while. how many deaths per year? I'm sure people are still getting the bacteria but I havent heard of a death in about 5 years
Typically 30+ a year infected and 20% die and the rest end up with a lot of amputations, etc. With more awareness and people seeking help sooner the death rate may have dropped some recently, but they still get massively ed up.

When you enter the water you are at the mercy of Mother Nature…Once we were swimming at a lake where the Fish & Game started to stock the lake with trout…No concern for the safety of swimmers…In no time they were all around us…I am certain that one tried bite off my toe…
You probably should have stopped breast-feeding him we he turned 16 tbqh.Gulp

Ah okay. So at what age should I cut the umbilical cord?
That must smell lovvvvvvely.
Crazy, I just remember the big scare in port oconnor a few years back when i was there every weekend and a friend of my dads died from it. We were like FLESH EATING BACTERIA?!?!?!
BTW, I used to go "fishing" at the coast without my parents when I was 17.Gulp

The rods were just props to get permission to head for the beach. Never caught a damn thing except wicked women and hangovers...
Hence "Awesome"
Sal er is the . Comparing it to fresh is like comparing a house to a stripjoint. Both are cool, one really delivers.
I'm going to Port A in a week. Hopefully there aren't a load of jellyfish there like there is in Florida.
