Ducks would sometime follow my floater rigged piece of bread to get a nib at it - if you are not careful you WILL hook into some! Otherwise I have caught seagulls down in Clearwater Beach while fishing whiting and seatrout - it is not uncommon at all - what I hate the most is the freakin' pelicans, aware of their size and strenght they will go for the kill and most times win a meal off your hook  Rick, there is all kinds of fish in Europe - largest trophy fishing is after European Catfish (Sillurus Glanis), Pike (Esox Lucius), Carp (Yeah Carp!!!) :)) and Zander (Stizostedion Lucioperca) our Perch there is (Perca Fluviatilis) And gets large and Balckish with sizes sometimes up to 10lbs!!! They also introduced Black Bass in Italy and Spain but not on the main continent (at least not that I know of) They go after trouts of all sorts (Rainbows are imported and unfortunately outbreeding the native Balkan and other species...) There are eels, Millions of fishermen practise match fishing with high quality carbon pull-up rods from 15 to 40 feet long!!! With a direct line and a high precision balsa float ballanced to perfection to indicate bites - these guys target by legal chumming mainly Roaches, Shiners, Grass Carp, Lake Shiners, Chubs, Barbs and if they just need to catch up on points Sunfish(considered a painful nuisance and a plague! like the gobies and ruffe alike!) There is salt water fishing for non-tropical species like cod, seabass, salt water rockfish and flatfish, they go after migratory trout and zander(walleye equivalent only up to 45lbs...) So there is quite a bit of fishing traditions in the Old World. Some of the above mentioned high tech mile long rods can sometimes cost as much as a decent boat or ATV up to 5,000.00 EUR!!!! Yeah they do a bit of fishing there. There are no Muskies that I know of but Pike do get in the 78-80" range - seldom but they do esp in Russian North and Ireland. There is a Native Danubian Trout Salmonid Species that Roams Rivers Taymen is the name and is mostly caught fly fishing that snasks on 6lb roughfish and trout... and becomes HUGE!!! Hey Rick when are we going for some seafood again!? Lyubo | ||

| Very Good information Lyubo! Really would like to visit Europe one day and catch some of those fish. And 5000 for a fishing rod? God, how long is that thing anyway? One time I saw a fishing show where it took 4 guys to holding the rod to catch the fish - is that what you mean? You told me our last trip that you were an Ecological Engineer in Europe. Golly, after that post sure reads like you still remember few things.  And did you say seafood? How about a LBDN excursion? | |||

As to the 5K for a cane pole... The way things are going for the poor US$ this 5K EUR is a mere $6,450.00 yeah pritty painful - having in mind that the target fish is the same most guys will either toss in the garden for fertiliser here or leave in the freeser for icefishing bait. Lyubo p.s. I am actually getting dumber and dumber doing what I do. Have to start studies again.  | ||
