"Rare Fishing Opportunity in Kansas During Solar Eclipse"

Kansas anglers have a rare opportunity to fish in the shade of a solar eclipse on April 8, as the state will experience an unnatural darkness due to the celestial event. Wildlife behavior is expected to change during the eclipse, potentially making fish more active and easier to catch. Fisheries Division Director Bryan Sowards suggests that nocturnal fish species like walleye, saugeye, and channel catfish may come out in force during the eclipse, while bass, known for favoring low light conditions, might also be more abundant. Anglers are advised to adjust their habits and consider using boat lights during the event, and to take advantage of the white bass spawning season for additional fishing opportunities.

The fishing company expressed concern about the problem and called for a solution to the issue of shark predation, stating that the damage to fisheries is out of control.

The Troubling Reality of Fishermen's Struggles Across the Nation

Anglers in Connecticut are reporting an increase in half-eaten fish, believed to be the result of shark predation. Charter captain Trevor Berwick confirmed that sharks, including brown sharks, sandbar sharks, and tiger sharks, have been taking bites out of reeled fish in the Long Island Sound. The sightings of sharks have become more frequent in recent years, with some clients finding excitement in the close encounters, while others are disappointed by the loss of their intact catch. Anglers from other states, including New York and Florida, have also reported similar incidents, highlighting the growing problem of sharks interfering with recreational fishing.

Fishing Success on Island Lake Bridge: Walleyes Galore!

Anglers on the Island Lake bridge north of Duluth, Minnesota, had a successful opening day of walleye season with plenty of fish caught, including walleyes, northern pike, and small-mouthed bass. Special regulations require that all walleyes between 15 and 20 inches be released, but anglers can keep up to 10 walleye daily, with one of those over 20 inches long. Despite the windy conditions, the sunshine made it feel almost summer-like, with temperatures near 60 degrees under a partly cloudy sky.
