Fishing and Travel Links for Your Early November Enjoyment
As we head off for Round Two at Sport Fish Panama Island Lodge, we’re keeping our eyes out for links that may interest our audience. I’m a reader by nature and my Google Discover feed is…well, let’s just say, a little odd. Here are five SFW nuggets we think that our readers will like:
Rodents of Unusual Size Take Over Gated Community in Argentina
We’ve seen some capybara in Brazil, but always in ones and twos, never in a herd or flock or whatever you call a big group of them. Yes, they’re herbivores, so don’t expect to get attacked if they invade your gated community, but it’s still a little creepy to think about the size of the poop a rat that big could generate. If this makes you think of fishing, be sure to check out the TackleTour “Rat Rumble.”
Lonely Planet names the best destinations for 2022
Not surprisingly, several of these places were already on our list, including Oman where our friend Dan Smith is heading next October. Belize and Mauritius also made the Top 10. With travel hopefully opening up even further in the coming months, get your ducks in a row before all of the prime dates in the best places are gone.
Giant Bluefin Blitz Has NYC Anglers Hoping for More
You don’t necessarily have to go to PEI for giant bluefin tuna. This summer they came very close to the beach community where my non-angling father grew up. We’re already considering a trip for sushi next year.
Saltwater Fishing Gift Ideas for the Holiday Season
With the holidays approaching quickly, Marlin Magazine offers up billfish-related gift ideas. Hanna may be tired of the fact that every gift she gets is somehow fish-adjacent, but I kind of like giving them. The first item listed is a female-only Marlin University held at Casa Vieja Lodge.
'Stunned' researchers rescue 4,000-pound sunfish from net
I’ve always surmised that if sunfish grew to 100 pounds they’d take over the world. Alas, this was no bluegill or pumpkinseed, but rather an ocean-dwelling species that dines on “sea jellies.” Still, I think we’re going to need to breed some bigger crickets.
