Underwater fishing

I believe this guy was floating on the surface in a wetsuit, not using
scuba gear and diving.

There was an article in Field and Stream a couple months back about a
guy off Long Island who goes after stripers this way

Get a big striper & he'll tow you a ways out. Hope he's careful

The angler who was profiled in the article
is a strong swimmer and has been doing this quite a # of years. The
writer, otoh, only went out with him one night and once was enough LoL

I stand corrected. No scuba, but he was wearing flippers, which would be
a huge help, obviously.

Well maybe you could say that because of all the underwater stuff our brains
are a wee bit waterlogged.
To go one better than the underwater fishing,we also have an underwater
hockey team!
Yes! underwater hockey! Played with a brass puck & forked like sticks!

I'd love to see something like that. Talk about sight fishing!

We'd get our fishing poles all rigged up,bait & all then swim out
into a lake.While treading water we would then make a long cast.Next
was to dive and watch the bait fall towards bottom.Once there we'd
dive to the bottom and take up a view point to watch any fish take
the bait.
Once hooked,we woiuld play the fish while underwater.
While submerged,a diver weighs very little and a fish of 5lbs could
even tow us a little.
Next reel in the fish then release.All the while still submerged.
Talk about a blast! Meeting a fish in his own territory.
For obvious reasons,we'd stay away from sharks,whales & the like!
HeHe!
What do y'all think about this concept?


make website and post some pics and movies.
Sounds hilarious.

It's not too far a stretch from some of the snorkeling we do on one of our
favorite bass waters. When I find a swelled up plastic bait on the bottom,
I'll usually toss it ahead to see if there are any takers

I have to admit that I have read of some asinine things on this Ng. But I
don't think that even "Al" could have come up with this approach to angling.

God bless to all, yup stick a fork in me cuz I'm done!
