I've been reading the posts about this game.  Is there any way I can
get involved in one of these and how do I go about it.  I've obviously
never played, so some patience is necessary but I catch on to games
like this fairly quickly.

Thanks and God bless,

  I prefer to receive diplomacy via press rather than via mail. It makes
it easier for me to determine the context of the mail message since
press is flagged with the country and the game.

British catalogues don't seem to have any good telescoping rods but Hardy's do
a "smugglers rod" which performs a similar function.  It comes in 7', 8' &
9.5' lengths, with 6, 7, or 8 pieces. 
They all fit into a case less (I think) than a foot long.  They cost around 200 
pounds (Say 350 dollars)

I could post you more details if you are interested.

I need some advice on what spinning reels I can use when 
drift fishing.

Sometimes when I am drifting in a lake or river I want to
put the pole down. I will leave the bail open and loop the
line under a rubber band. If I get a hit or a snag, the line
will release. This method works but some time it is a hassle.

I would like a spinning reel which I could set the drag to 
act the same as above but be able to switch to a "real" drag
when a fish is on.

Does anyone know of any spinning reels and makes that provide
this function?

Thanks,

What!  Hunting season is over in Oregon!  (Not counting Elk, pheasant,

Too cold to fish? Never. Last Sunday in the snow showers and 20 knots

Cape Cod Canal. Great fun!

My real reason for this post is related to sea run trout fishing on
Cape Cod. About 25 years ago, there was good sea run trout fishing on
the Cape in both spring and fall. I was wondering if anyone has recent

It was pretty common knowledge that many of the old outboards were
grossly underrated.  I had an old 10 HP Chris Craft and it was
probably in the range of 18 to 20 HP if it was rated today.  Now
HP is rated at the shaft and (I Think) the Manufactures agree to
+ or - 10%.  For example, you notice that the major manufactures
have more than one 150 HP in their lineup.  One is usually a motor
targeted to the bass boat market where many of the tournaments
are limited to 150's.  The Mercury XR4 or XR6 150 and the Evinrude
and Johnson Intruder and Fastrike 150's are probably pushing that
+ 10% of the limit -- In other words they are probably close to
165 HP.  If you don't believe me try running a new 153 ci XR6 against
a standard 123 ci 150  HP motor or a 158 (I think) ci Fastrike
against a standard OMC 150 HP job.  No comparison!

There's the "BassTour" bass fishing simulation.  I don't know how accurate
it is but the number of lures that you can use is quite extensive.  I've got
a copy of it at home.

I posted this question to FLYFISH-L last week, but I have not exactly been

newsgroup and the listserver (I recognize several names in both venues).

I'd like to get some sort of nice background for my workstation depicting
a fishing scene.  A trout or a flyfishing scene would be preferred, but I'm
open to other images (I actually fish for other things than trout sometimes).

I'd take a GIF file or any sort of common graphics format.  I should be able
to convert it to something I can use.  A pointer to an FTP site to retrieve
such an image would be great.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Good luck with the hunting!  What a noble sport!  I heartily 
endorse all hunting.  Everyone, please break out the insulated 
boots, jars of phermones, tree stands, new bow strings, muzzle

There are some small lakes around the biggy, any fish in those?

Any tributaries still attached to the lake? (Water is a little low out here,

I have fished many fresh water lakes and in the Gulf.  The fresh water
lakes have been reclaimed from phosphate mining operations and are
all over.  As for lures I have caught bass on plastic worms, spinner baits,
top water lures, and one of the best baits: live shinners from 6 to 8 inches.
Morning or evening seemed to be the best time for me.  A word of caution
if you walking around watch out for gators.  Salt water fishing is very
different and requires a different setup.  There are many bridges, piers,
beaches, and charter boats all at different times are great fishing. If
you are going to fish salt water from land the best times are on the
in comming or out going tides.  Check with area bait shops and sport shops
about the best setups, bait, and times.  My son just moved to Fort Meyers
and has been doing a lot of saltwater fishing from piers and bridges.  He
has been doing very well and caught a variety of fish.  That is one of the
things about salt water, you never know what you might get a hold of.

There is a pier right on Naples beach.  If memory serves me right it's
free.  I've never fished it but remember watching folks catch big old
red fish off of it.  Of course that was a number of years ago.  Best
thing to do is ask at a local bait/tackle joint what works best.  There
are also bridges all over the place.  You can't miss by using live
shrimp.  Folks also fish right from the beach.  I believe they use 
live sand fleas that you can catch in the surf.  If not shrimp is your
best bet.

>What about fishing any of the lakes (from
>the shore) in the central part of the state from Orlando to Naples?

There are 'tons' of them!  Best thing to use would be a plastic worm.
Probably either black/grape or red/shad would work well.  Texas rig
and throw parallel to the shore line about 5'-10' out.

Shimano makes several models with a feature called a "Fighitin Drag"
that might work.  Other manufacturers have similar features.  If
it were me though, I would be using a baitcasting reel such as a
Ambassadeur 6500 with a clicker.
