Let’s just say that if I need to sustain myself this way I would need to dramatically improve my skill at this sort of fishing.

It’s soothing though.

Literally my favorite kind of fishing.

Walk the beach looking for a spot where the beach is further out than elsewhere, a peninsula of beach.

That's usually a good indicator of where the water flows back out to sea as the waves recede, that flow will push bait fish out to sea where the larger fish you want to catch are waiting for them

Also look for sandbars where waves break before hitting the beach. Right behind/in front of that should be troughs where larger fish stalk bait fish

    Thanks for the tip! I usually fly fish on small European rivers so this is definitely new for me. I got 2 small fishes so far and several mises. I’m baiting with ugly-ass red worms based on what was available in a local shop.

    The most asshole way possible of fishing. Fuck everyone else, my pole is going here. Good luck dodging it. Invisible wire. SOMEWHERE.

    You can't just go kill something, can you? You have to fuck up whatever area you're in.

    Normal person: It's nice to be out in nature. Fisherperson: It's nice to be out here, let me huck 50lbs of crap in a dozen meter radius - all of it dangerous and unnecessary. Now I set up the invisible wires!

    FUCK OFF to the middle of the ocean.
