Jenny asks…
Is there such thing as a waste of time?
Many people are quick to refer to something someone else enjoys as a waste of time. For example, someone might say that playing video games are a waste of time, whilst for others it may be a hobby. Same goes for anything, such as reading, fishing, sports etc.
So, my point is, if someone enjoys something and it brings them happiness (as long as it doesn’t harm them) can we ever rightfully call it a “waste of time?”

Daniel Ambrose answers:
Only your own perception of “waste of time” Its purely subjective. Playing video games might be a waste of time for a priest, on the other hand going to church is a waste of time for the gaming programmer.

Ken asks…
15 years old! NEED HOBBY!?
I am 15. I have alot of friends, but there only “school friends” they are with me all the time in school but outside of school im invisible to everyone. noone will text me back, or text me, i want a hobby, besides, sports (i play basketball and baseball) or video games, or girls. Paintball is to expensive, i fish every weekend at my job, i ride my bike all over. anyone help me? i make about $60.00 every weekend so money isnt really a problem. but i dont wana blow it all.. I dont want my parents thinking i’m a bigger low life/fag then they already think i am.. any suggestions!? (sorry for saying fag)

Daniel Ambrose answers:
Well 15 is a tough age to be and the best advice that someone can give you is to enjoy your youth but things like building such as going to a junk yard and maybe trying to get into and building cars or something that you can build from the ground up, and that can be both relieving and if you get good at it you can possibly turn that into a career one day, if your parents think that of you than that is terrible, but find something you enjoy, thats important and who knows you better than you, but good luck.

Daniel Ambrose answers:
This is so me! The term ‘introverts don’t need fixing’ springs to mind!
I went down the list like ‘yep, yep, yeah’ lol. Where did you get this from btw? There’s a book called ‘the highly sensitive person, how to thrive when the world overwhelms you’ by elaine n. Aron that I’m just starting to read and it looks a really good book.
Never change who you are, just change your environment to suit you. ![]()

Ruth asks…
Do all Streams, Springs, Rivers, Lakes, Oceans connect at some point?
I was just thinking with all the rain Southwest Missouri has had lately. Where does all this run off go? Do all waterways connect?

Daniel Ambrose answers:
Au contrair max,
eventually, all bodies of water will connect, although, not directly. If you’ve ever looked at a map, you’ll probably notice that all of the oceans are connected.
And most lakes drain. Those that don’t and aren’t fed, will eventually evaporate and then be fed into the water system agian through rain-storms.

Michael asks…
List of places in nature?
I need to make a list of things nature- here’s what I’ve got so far: thunderstorm, farm, lake, river, ocean, mountain, stream. Any more ideas…my brain isn’t thinking this way right now!

Daniel Ambrose answers:
List of Places
Oceans, continents, mountains, sea floors, volcanoes, caves, islands, grand canyon, valleys, oil deposit, gold deposits, Yellowstone park, beaches, rain forest, tundra, Serengeti, Straight of Magellan, North Pole, South Pole, Equator, magnetic north, deserts, Himalayas, the Earth, Sun, Solar system, Universe.
– thunderstorms and animals are not places.

John asks…
what would be the best small animal to breed?
I am looking for money, a pet (pets), and a hobby. My budget isn’t huge, so about up to $100 starting out. I DO NOT want to breed fish. I also don’t want reptiles that eat live insects. I’m thinking of rodents, but which one? I would also like some tips on where to sell the babies.

Daniel Ambrose answers:
You won’t make a profit breeding any animal. You will never be able to compete with pet stores because they buy their stock in bulk from large scale commercial breeders. If you need money get a part time job.

Sharon asks…
Casting Distance Related To Rod Length?
Hi,
I have two rods; One is about 6ft long (single piece) and the other is about 8ft (two piece). Both are rated up to 30lbs that can take up to 4oz line weight.
The 6-footer is very stiff from bottom to tip unlike the 8-footer which has a “flimsy” tip like most fishing rods.
Whenever I cast the 6-footer, I can try to throw it to hell but it’ll only go but so far. The 8-footer, however, is able to travel way further out. I’m not exactly sure how far out, wish I can find an accurate number, but I’m sure it’s far.
Questions are:
1. Does the length of the fishing rod make a difference in casting distance?
1a. If so (or not), what about the sinker weight? I usually use (and like) the tear drop 3oz. Friends use 5oz but it doesn’t sound like their rods are being cast out any further. To me, the heavier the sinkers, the more strength it requires to cast, equal less distance.
2. Hook sizes: I usually like size 2 hooks. I figured that if it’s small enough for a fish to swallow it along with the bait that’s on it, the likely it is the hook will set somewhere in its mouth. My friend bought 4/0 and 5/0 size hooks but I don’t have anywhere as much success. I want to catch 20lbers and up Rockfish or whatever would take the bait even though I never caught anything anywhere close to that number, would a bigger hook size play a key role?
For answering purposes, 2010 is basically my first year ever fishing (new hobby now). I have caught numerous White Perches, Spots, Black Drum, Red Drum, 3 Puffers, a few Horseshoe crabs and I missed out reeling in a what looked to be a 15″to 18″ Rockfish (it had jumped out the waters about 20 or so yards out, the hook snapped off…). I think I got patted down good is casting, now I just want to cast out further and go for gold…. gold being 20lbers and up.

Daniel Ambrose answers:
Assume the reel is 1.5 feet from the butt of each rod. That gives your 6 ft rod a tip length of 4.5 feet, and the 8 footer a tip length of 6.5 feet. With the same casting motion, the tip of the longer rod (and your casting weight) will be moving 6.5/4.5 times as fast, or about 1.4 times as fast. Thus, if everything else is equal, it will cast about 1.4 times as far.
The whippier tip on the longer rod will help you casting lighter weights, but it will also limit how much weight you can cast.
The sinker weight, up to a point, will increase your casting distance — that is, if the sinker is not so heavy that it overloads the rod, or so heavy that it cuts down on how hard you can cast (again, assuming all other factors are equal), the heavier weight will go further — just like you can throw a baseball farther than you can throw a tennis ball. I don’t think a 4 or 5 ounce sinker is heavy enough to limit how much force you can put into the cast, but if they don’t get you any more distance than a 3 ounce, only use them if you need the weight to hold the bait on the bottom in the current.
If you don’t need the 30 pound test, you might switch to 25 or 20 pound — or use braided line — as thinner line will cast farther. You should also make sure your reels are full — if they’re not full, that will cut your casting distance.
I fish on the west coast, so I’m not familiar with the fish you catch, but in general I match the hook to the size of the bait — if the hook is too small, it’ll get lost in the bait and I won’t hook the fish solidly (or at all), and if it’s too big, I won’t get bit in the first place. I’ve caught several tuna from 30 to 65 pounds on a size 2 hook (with a small anchovy bait), so you don’t necessarily need a big hook for a big fish.

Maria asks…
How much do fishing boats owners pay per 1 ton of MGO & IFO fuel in the USA?
Those who have big fishing boats in the USA, how much they pay for MGO and IFO fuel? I wonder if the USA government stimulates such high fuel prices, or have any benefits for the fishing companies. I know that governments of Iceland and England provide benefits to fishing companies that spend huge amounts of money to fuel their fishing vessels, otherwise the companies would go out of business. Is there anything like that in the USA?

Daniel Ambrose answers:
Most of the big fishing boats in so calif refuel in mexico.where fuel is cheaper.

Helen asks…
To purchase Foam filler and necessary tooling to fill foam into fishing boats?
i would like to fill my two boats with foam for extra bouyancy and safety my fishing friends that have boats are also interested,we Live in Botswana (Francistown) and it is difficult to get the boats in and out of the country the permits ,travelling distances etc,so i have thought about purchasing the equipment and manuals and instructions to do the foam filling my self or is it possible for someone to travel to Botswana to do the foam filling,we can get alot of boats together to be filled to make it worth the effort.

Daniel Ambrose answers:
Boston whalers are boats that are considered unsinkable. Their filling? Styrofoam. Maybe you can work something out with that and it’s cheap as well as easy to work with, requiring few tools.

Jenny asks…
looking to compare grady white versus hydra-sports fishing boats?
can not decide witch one is better

Daniel Ambrose answers:
Grady. The total build quality is better, from the lamination schedule to the fit and finish.
Price does say a LOT about a boat, so research the sales prices.
Grady’s hold their value much better than a HS.
Perhaps you’d get more answers if you placed this question in the Boating forum.
