Fishing Forum

[font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][#000000][size 2]OCEAN SPRINGS, MS—Gulf Islands National Seashore Ranger Melissa Perez and volunteer Adam Wilson say they were briefly pelted with small, very cold fish while on the park's pier during a recent thunderstorm.[/size][/#000000][/font]
[font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][#000000][size 2]Perez and Wilson were looking for minnow traps near the pier when they say something began falling into the water. They discovered the source when two 3-inch-long, ice-cold fish hit the pier.[/size][/#000000][/font]
[font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][#000000][size 2]Officials at the J.S. Scott Marine Education Center say one of two things could have happened: The thunderstorm could have pulled the fish into the cloud, where they were coated with ice (like hailstones) until they became heavy enough to fall, or the storm could have sucked them off a fishing boat and dropped them at the park.[/size][/#000000][/font]

[url "http://javascript:%20addTag('cool')/"][cool][/url]When I lived in South Florida it was not uncommon to hear about fish raining down on Collins Ave on Miami Beach. Reason - water twisters would suck up water and anything in its area then dump its load as it hit land. Would this be called road kill??

That must be a sight to see. I would surely be worried if it were to rain barracuda around here in SoCal.[url "javascript: addTag('pirate')"][pirate][/url]

[font "Californian FB"][#005028][size 3]Yea you have got that right. By the way the Cudas in the Florida waters are considerably larger than the west coast Cudas. Either way they are not to friendly.[/size][/#005028][/font]

Hi there Dryrod,

Just remembered a Japanese island that is southernmost and close to Taiwan has the Giant Barracuda that will give those florida fishys a run for their money. If you try to eat the varmits during a particular season they have toxins which might do you in!

I would love to fight one of the Great Barracuda or even the Giants too. I would definitely keep them away from the float tube though.

I'm glad that the cudas in Cali don't have that Ciguatera toxin. I've had some good BBQs lately and didn't even have to worry about bones.[url "javascript: addTag('cool')"][cool][/url]

I always wonderd about that when I saw them water spouts. I wondered if the fish had enough smarts to go deaper when the serface beromiter droped to "o"

we get them water spouts in the great lakes tho' not as comon as with what those tropical storms can produce.
