You seriously need to move to Florida.

No joke, yesterday when the grocery delivery guy delivered some stuff the misses got, as he was leaving I did that motion, exactly like that rail worker. Could just see him through the patio arch as he was about to back out so a low "seeya mate" hand motion. If anyone took a picture of me they could have shown it to the police and id be charged with a hate crime.

Yeah slap deserve.
I think in maybe Japan that might be amongst the most expensive fish delicacy type of thing!?
Not counting that puffer or whatever fish dice with death stuff fugu. Nope never 😵
Ever watched a doco on them catching Ayu in Japan?
Apparently goes back to Samurai practices and requires great skill towards everything you do to catch them. They're the size of say a pilchard. I saw a video of the Japanese fisherman catching them yrs ago and the were cooking them up on an open fire, coals, on the riverside. To me that's bait, but in those rivers they are considered a great catch, I guess by getting every little thing right.

Went down to the river to fish for stripers today. They're supposed to release the hatchery trout (which the stripers love to eat) on Thursday mornings, but for some reason they released them yesterday.
Needless to say, there were a lot of unhappy fishermen, many with boats launched (like me).

Oh well, made the most of it and fished a little and mostly just motored around. It was 85f and sunny, perfect!
Here's Willow Beach Arizona.

Some people aren't much into maintaining their equipment I guess.

They are nice. I've never caught one but my father did a lot in the Navy. He did catch 2 when we were on holiday as kids in the 70s. I was obsessed with trying to catch a big moray eel as he was fishing. He told me "you'll hook him but never stop him going back into his hide". He was right of course, just like the big rock cods in QLD. Unstoppable. I actually was so intent on getting one I got a big really thick bamboo pole, made up a steel trace about 10 foot long, 300lb with a big hook and a fish on it. Fed the big cods for about an hr, then in went my fish. Was around my fittest time I reckon. Braced for it and Im thinking im gonna pole him out of the water. Nope, my best efforts saw him engulf the fish and dive to the rocks, me with an open mouth and having to cut the end of the wire with cutters. Maybe 150 fish but that explosive power in the blink of an eye is something someone has to experience. Sure you guys have brutes like that there too. That was it, I gave up after that,😧

You guys get stripers like we get in out rivers ?

Good morning folks....

What river in Oregon is stocked with stripers?

They've been stocking stripers in Lake Mead since the 70's, and they've become
quite a big fishery there. Never caught one myself, but know they are there now
in some pretty big numbers.

Bummer. Our emergency alert govt service is a shocker. 9 times out of 10 I check the Vic Govt Emergency app when I hear siren or we smell smoke the incident report on the map is the small local hospital. Its never been on fire in my living memory.
Edit, must have been thinking of replying to two

Striped bass in Oregon are primarily found in the Coquille, Umpqua, and Smith river systems. These non-native, hard-fighting fish are targeted year-round, with peak fishing during spring (March–June) and fall (Sept–Nov) migrations. Key locations include the tidal areas of these rivers, with occasional sightings in the Columbia.
I also found some information on the history of Oregon striped bass.

Striped bass Fishing | Oregon Dept of Fish & Wildlife

Striped bass are another transplant introduced on the West Coast in 1878 when 132 fry were released in San Francisco Bay. Additional releases and the fish’s migratory urge brought “stripers” to Oregon’s Coos River system by the late 1800s. Today, most striped bass are found in the Coquille and...
