Ok thank you!.
CAN ANYONE ELSE CONFIRM THIS TOO?
Ok thank you too!
As was said though, it's really easy to do. Especially once you get to the point when you're fishing walleye in NY, since they are a night fish regardless.
Ya, i got no problem with challenges. As far as the light goes. Just dont want to have to fish in the pitch dark. I own 2 other fishing games. Professional fishing-Level 51 and Ultimate fishing-level 21. Both have night fishing and both come with flashlights. Wasnt gonna play a game that was so silly that you had to pay extra for a flash light. Funny-- I live in upstate NY and fish for Walleye all summer :)
I've done a lot of walleye fishing up in Canada. I was up there during the hottest summer on record about 5-10 years ago. It was rough. No AC in the cabin at night, and more mosquitos that I ever thought possible.
I've never done it at night, but I've heard that's the best time to fish for them because of their excellent night vision.
I don't actually know if we'd be allowed to fish at night though. They have some different laws up there than we do down here. We couldn't use barbed hooks, for instance. We had to use pliers to break the barbs off of all our tackle.
Where are you from? Yeah i know some states have weird laws.. Like here we can destroy any carp we catch. They are an invasive species and are killing our native fish populations off. Personally any carp we catch we throw up onto the banks. Let the coyotes, ♥♥♥♥♥ and birds eat. Yet in some states you can get arrested for doing that. In some countries they eat the dang things...yuk! They are garbage fish that will eat just about anything and go around the bottom sucking crap off the bottom. Including sewage, toxic waste or anything you can imagine was every dumped into a river or lake. People say, "oh well its all in the way you filet them" lol
I tell ya what. No matter what you are eating what those fish have been sucking off the bottom. There is a reason DEC says to eat no more than 1-2 meals of them A YEAR lol. Anyways here is our 2019 fishing rules and regulations if you want to check them out. Maybe someday you can come up. An oh btw the bears arent like you think man. Here anyways. We only have black bear and unless you are in NJ or NYC area.. they are very scared of humans. Although up in the Adarondack's they can get quiet large and aggressive around garbage dumps and some times camp sites where people leave out open food. But usually if your in that situation you are carrying a shotgun or rifle. In that case he ends up a nice new warm rug.

The thing about bears though is that only the ones near humans are afraid of humans. Many bears in the far north have never seen one before and have no reason to be afraid. They're not likely to be aggressive unless they're very hungry or with their cubs, but they can easily get curious, which can lead to dangerous situations. When you're sitting on the shore, eating some freshly fried fish, in the far reaches of Saskatchewan, 500 miles from a hospital, you can feel very vulnerable. Especially if you saw a bear on a different part of the lake just that morning.
And the catch about Canada is that you're not allowed to shoot them most of the time. On the first trip I took with my dad, he asked the pilot/outfitter if we could bring a gun next time, in case a bear tried to get into the cabin. His answer was, "well, you're not allowed to shoot them, and you're not allowed to bring any guns, but you can call us and we'll come try to get rid of it for you." This statement prompted something of a Jurassic Park image in my mind, of the pilot showing up to the cabin just to find a severed arm holding a phone.
As far as "trash fish" go, you never know until you try it. Almost all fish in all waterways near humans will have a strict limit that you're suggested to safely consume. Granted, 2 meals a year is about the worst I've ever heard of, aside from reports that just say "do not consume this fish."
Plenty of fish that people call trash can actually be good though. A lot of places consider catfish to be nasty for the same reason you don't like carp. They live off of detritus on the bottom of lakes and slow-moving rivers. Gar is also another breed that people call a trash fish or worse, but was a popular food source amongst native Americans for centuries. Personally, I'd have to try gar and carp before I made my decision... Though I definitely would NOT exceed the 2/year suggested by the state. I don't want to start growing extra limbs from eating some radioactive fish.
___________________________________________________________________________
Haha ya, I thought we were talking about NY not Canada haha. That is weird about not being able to defend yourself by shooting it. I know a couple Canadian hunting guides and they both carry a large caliber guns for that exact reason. I know the one guy carries a Marlin 45-70 guide gun and the other said he always has his 300 Win Mag. Because several times they were on hunts for moose,sheep and Caribou, they had shot one 700 yards or so and by the time they had walked their way to it there was a bear already on it. When it seen them it started charging them because it thought it was trying to take his food. He shot it dead.
Youd think carp and catfish were the same but they arent. Catfish, bullhead and Gar are mainly meat eating fish. Predator fish. They dont go around sucking up mouth fulls of lake/river bed, filtering out anything digestable and pushing the rest out their gills. Which is what carp do most of the time. An is also why they have lips shaped like the ones in the picture below. They do the same thing a sucker fish inside someones fish tank does. Except they move around and do it.
Personally i dont like catfish or bullhead either. (although my dad loves them) But they say the best time to catch eating ones is when the water is at it coldest. Something to do with a mixture of the way fish's digestion is along with several other factors. You will also find that like most other animals, the smaller ones are tastier then the large ones. Plus the 1 to 2yr old fish have much less contaminants because they are young. Gar, catfish, bullhead, channel catfish all have much different skin then carp. Carp is very thin skinned were as the other 3 have thick, tough skin. Which helps protect them not only from larger fish but from absorbing as much contaminants from the outside. Take a look at the average carps skin and you'll notice its usually missing large amounts of scales and has scars all over it. Where you very rarely find that one any of the other 3 fish.
Anyways if people want to eat them have at it..That is their decision. Lord knows if you dont get sick and die from eating them. There are a million other things that are bad for you. My issue with carp is they are not native to America and are destroying out natural waterways. They are like rabbits and pigs. They mass produce offspring due to high death rate of their young. But eventually, being that carp produce 10x the number of eggs other fish do like bass, walleye, pike, etc... etc.. there becomes to much competition for food for the game fish young. (not to mention the carp go around sucking the eggs off the lake bottoms right out of other fishes beds) So every one i catch im gonna destroy. An the reason i called them garbage fish is because that is what they do.. go around the bottom sucking up whatever they can and spitting the rest out. Which is why when you fish for carp you fish on the bottom. (IRL) anyways. They will eat almost anything. Ive watched people catching them on gummy bears, gummy worms, corn you name it. I even met a guy down at the river one time using moldy leftover hot sasuage his wife had cooked a month earlier (molded and everything) Where game fish are picky about what they eat. Most of the time if the bait isnt even presented right they wont go near it.
All this talk is making me remember going out on the ice on the ST Lawrence river with my
grandpa pan fishing. Believe it or not we used to use the eyeball out of another fish for bait. He made this neat little tool out of a paperclip, glue, a string and an ice cream stick. An that was what you used to take the eyeball out. They went nuts over them. We would end up with a 5 gallon pale full of them. An then the crappy part came when we got back home and had to cut them all up lol
Anyways its been nice chatting with ya. Good luck fishing this summer (and in game)
