Fishing is the activity of catching fish. Fish are normally caught in the wild. Techniques for catching fish include hand gathering, spearing, netting, angling and trapping.

The term fishing may be applied to catching other aquatic animals such as mollusks, cephalopods, crustaceans, and echinoderms. The term is not normally applied to catching aquatic mammals, such as whales, where the term whaling is more appropriate, or to farmed fish. In addition to providing food, modern fishing is also a recreational sport.

According to FAO statistics, the total number of fishermen and fish farmers is estimated to be 38 million. Fisheries and aquaculture provide direct and indirect employment to over 500 million people. In 2005, the worldwide per capita consumption of fish captured from wild fisheries was 14.4 kilograms, with an additional 7.4 kilograms harvested from fish farms.

How much will a deep sea fishing trip cost?
Q. I'm planning a trip off the Florida coast for a total of six people, and I am wondering a rough total for the fishing. As I said, six people, most likely in the Fort Myers area, and it will be in mid December. Also, I think bottom fishing for Grouper is the plan. Thanks in advance.

A. $800-$1000 depending on how prestigious the company you are going with and for how long the trip will be. We did deep sea fishing trips in Kona, Hawaii and Costa Rica... For 8 people it was around $2000 for a couple hours so... I'm guessing staying in Florida is mostly likely half that Grouper will be a lot of fun

What is the quality of fishing at Basin Bayou on Choctawhatchee Bay near Portland, FL?
Q. I'm planning a fishing trip on Basin Bayou and would like to know how the fishing there is? I haven't been able to find any fishing reports on this particular bayou and would love information from anyone that's fished it.

A. I'm not going to lie, I had to look to see where Portland, Fl is. I've never fished in that particular area and dont know anyone that has but this time of year the fishing is good. I fish throughout Florida including the panhandle and this time of year Seatrout, Redfish and Scallops and sharks are the main targets of most people. I'm not really sure what you are after but the best fishing is done early morning or late afternoon. Email me specifics and I'll help you out

What tips do you have for streamlining fishing tackle?
Q. I like fishing but all my tackle always ends up in a mess. What are good ways to make my tackle easy and quick to access and carry around when i'm fishing.
Asked by Surf - Tue Jan 13 02:00:01 2009 - - 4 Answers - 1 Comments

A. Uhm do you have a decent tackle box, one big enough to fit your essential tackle? I have a smaller tackle box that I take out on trips with me and then I have a huge tackle box that I use to store everything else. You wont be going for all kinds of fish all in one outing, due to what is in season and what you feel like going. So why bring tackle you wont be using? I also have a separate box for my larger lures and plugs, for when I go surf fishing, since I know they will be used only in the surf at certain times of the year.
