Comment on Sea Trout in Northern Europe by Quirky Read of the Week: Sea Trout in Northern Europe

Quirky Read of the Week: Sea Trout in Northern Europe — Thu, 20 May 2021 13:13:18 +0000

Been there had that happen to me.
Fishing the Acklins byte, I hooked a nice Permit which ran to a channel and there in 20 feet of crystal clear water I watch him wrap around a sea fan. At first I didn’t pull, knowing what would be the result.
Eventually gave in to the enevitable
Which is worse the sea fan wrap or the saw off on the barrier coral reef on the east side of Turneffe Atoll

Hey Alex, better to have lost the fight than not fought at all, at least when it comes to fishing! Enjoyed the story, going permit fishing next week @ Blackfly, hope to repeat your experience w/o the weather and lost fish.

I found the best way around “sea chumming” is to take a Dramamine with dinner the night before fishing, then one with breakfast the morning before going out on the boat to fish! I have all my land lubber friends follow with that plan, and never have I had my friends blow their beets on a trip out. The Dramamine is already in their system when we leave the dock.

In reply to Leslie Harris. Hi Leslie, You might be right, but our source provided these as photos of the palolo worm. We are not scientists so determining minute differences in marine worm species is not our strength. You must agree they have a very similar appearance and are easily mistaken. We are experts in publishing a factual saltwater fly fishing magazine and as our research and fact-checking reveal that the information contained in the feature is correct. Without a degree in marine biology, it is hard for our staff members to differentiate between the species photographically and we apologize for that. See below are the images of the palolo worm and under it, the Rag Worm:

These actually aren’t palolo worms, which are in the polychaete family Eunicidae, genus Palola. The worms you’re seeing are rag worms, family Nereididae. Unlike the palolo, in which only the posterior end of the worm breaks off & swims to the surface, these nereids transform large portions of their bodies to become better swimmers in order to reach the surface.

Comment on Another summer, another water crisis in Florida. When will politicians prioritize human health and valuable fisheries over Big Sugar? by Maryanne Bohatyritz

When will this end? Didn’t we VOTE in the last election in regard to the water?
The health of the people should be top priority!
