What about hunting fish with firearms [1]?-- JianLi 00:02, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
Thanks to Gaius Cornelius for the instructive link to proper heading formatting. The point that I was trying to make with that edit, although I was in error in starting at level H1, is that what are now numbered as sections 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4 are all given equal valence with 1.2 being entirely empty. I was of the opinion that it should be 1.2, 1.2.1 and 1.2.2.
No matter, though, whatever. I'm not wedded to any of this. It's just a hobby for me, after all :-)

This article is one that has been bothering me for some time, for much the same reasons as other commentators have given below.
I am working on a complete rewrite which I shall be posting very soon.
I plan to replace much of the original text, some of what is in the current article shall be moved to a new article Angling.
When I am done, I plan to move some of the text from this talk page to the angling talk page.

I've added the above notice because the article seems to overlook the fact that fishing is a very old subsistence method among many peoples all over the world. Let's try to ensure a global perspective. — mark ✎ 1 July 2005 15:54 (UTC)
I just wanted to say that the "How to Fish" section is so very narrow that it is silly. Rather than give an overall description of how to fish, this author it seems, has solely focused on small river and stream fishing. Furthermore, the author describes "How to Fish" as if Fresh Water fishing were the only way to fish. The techniques that are described in this article do not apply to a very large portion of fishing, they seem to be limited in scope to Northern Temperate areas with small lakes and streams. These techniques would not even have all that much application in the Great Lakes for that matter, much less the Atlantic, Pacific, Mediterranean, the Black Sea, The Gulf of Mexico, Indian Ocean, and on and on and on.
To describe "How to Fish" in such a way is errant. That article would be more aptly entitled: "How to fish in Northern Temperate Streams and Small Lakes"
I will edit the title and leave the article. (which is not a bad article for that specific type of fishing, but is severely lacking to be entitled "How to Fish")
Also, Bonito do not have large teeth. The fish pictured next to the article has clearly visible teeth. It is some type of Mackeral. Here in Florida, that would most likely be a Kingfish, a.k.a. King Mackeral. It may be a different species depending upon where it was caught.
The external link I just recently added( Its How You Wiggle Your Worm) is from my own site. Just making this clear before it is removed for copyright violation. Anyone from Wikipedia has complete persmission to link directly to any of our pages.
There's a HUGE amount of public domain text available on this subject at http://www.gutenberg.net/dirs/1/3/6/0/13600/13600-h/13600-h.htm should anyone be interested in adding to this page or spawning more articles. -- Tagishsimon
A substantial section of text was recently added to the sub-section on Ice fishing. I have moved the text to the Ice fishing article -- I hope that's OK. Gaius Cornelius 20:27, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
I have no real variance with the accuracy of what's contained in the fairly-new Aquaculture section. What I'm wondering is why it's contained in an article on fishing. There's no reference within the section to what aquaculture has to do with fishing. I can hypothesise tenuous connections between aquaculture and fishing but those connections occur through fish planting (stocking) or sea ranching or similar and there's no mention of those anywhere in the article, either. At best, I'd recommend that a link to the main Aquaculture article be put in the "See also" section or some such. Aquaculture is simply a form of animal husbandry and including a section on it would be like including a section on pork production in an article on hunting. I propose deletion of the section, notwithstanding the careful prose that's gone into it. Dave 17:03, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
There have been some recent reverts relating to whether fishing is a blood sport. At least one of these reverts has overwritten an unrelated, but perfectly good, edit — please take more care.
Whether fishing is a blood sport should be discussed here and not be the subject of an edit war. Let us try to reach a consensus.
Some of these may yet prove useful.
Who has seen the NBA on TNT during the playoffs? This should get some recognition here and on the Wikifile for Kenny Smith.
An editor has proposed that fish traps material should be broken out in Wikipedia:Summary style from this article into an article titled fish trap. Anyone interested in this is invited to view the discussion over in that page. cmh 00:08, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
I have deleted the image shown. It is a nice picture but is disrupts the flow of the text. Also, it simply is not clear exactly what is being illustrated. Articles need pictures, but one can have too many. If there are many fishing related pictures available, the best thing to do is to collect them in Wikipedia commons and put in a link to a commons category for those that are interested. Gaius Cornelius 08:01, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
I have removed two sections and conserved the text here for the time being.
To me, this article is a generic article on fishing - the ancient and world-wide practice of hunting fish. Consequently, these two sections would sit much better in a more specific article because they are sub-topics of angling. Perhaps somebody would like to move them there...
There is actually a Beach casting article.
The reference to Macedonian fly fishing might be deserving of a mention in the main fishing article provided a cite can be found.

I have deleted the following text from the main article for which I feel it is too specific. It may have a place in another article, so I am preserving the text here in case somebody want to move it.
