I am thinking between four things. Harpoon for tuna and swordfish, fly Fishing for salmon and trout, bait fishing for pike, and lobster pot for lobsters. I am f2p, and I’m wondering what the fastest method is. I don’t care about money, I just want to know what the fastest from 68 to 99.
Should i drop my tuna to get more experience in one trip? Or keep them and bank all of it?

"I’m wondering what the fastest method is" – it’s fly fishing, hands down. Don’t waste your time getting lobsters or tuna, unless you plan on dropping them ALL – the bank trip is too long to make these methods effective.

For both P2P and F2P the fastest method is fly fishing. Get your rod and feathers and head to barb ville. You have two choices; you can drop the fish or bank them. Personally I would tell you to bank them, you won’t lose much XP by doing this (it doesn’t take very long) and you’ll be able to make some money from it – I know you said you aren’t bothered about making money, but it’s always nice.

I’m fishing in Galveston off a pier in the morning should I use a pyramid sinker (I have a 2 and 3 oz.) or one with the round bottom.(1 or 2 oz.) I’m going to have two leaders coming off it with live or frozen shrimp if this matters any.

Or if neither any suggestions would be appreciated.

New to saltwater fishing here.

I have fished off of several of Galveston’s piers. I am assuming you will be on one of the piers or jetties near the shoreline near the Flagship?. Seawolf Park area has some nice areas to fish as well. Fishing off the pier near the surf, use enough weight to just keep your rigging down. To much weight and you will find yourself missing bites. If you get some live shrimp then use a popping cork and catch some specks in the early morning feeding near the top. My friends have been catching nice specks in Galveston Bay, San-Luis Pass and Christmas Bay areas, so I’m sure they are all in the surf as well. While Fishing off the pier area or on the jetties there, remember when you want to reel in to check your bait or something, put your rod tip high in the air and reel in as fast as you can. Lot’s of hang-ups around those areas and I have lost my share of tackle fishing them. Feel free to email me for info of the area. 40yr exp

I just started coyote Hunting and I want to increase my odds of even seeing a coyote. I have been out a couple of times and not even seen one. I have heard them howl in the distance. Maybe a decoy will bring them in.

This may sound crazy but a kids stuffy animal shaped like a small animal attached to a springy small steel rod. You attach the stuffy squirrel, rabbit, whatever to the top of wire rod, stick rod in the ground so the animal is visible just above the grass. Then tie strong fishing line to the rod so you can move the rod. Once you get the hang of it you have a very realistic decoy. And the decoy is away from you to distract from you. Scent can be added to the stuffy or on the ground.

I used that method on a ranch. Ran the Fishing line way up hill via fishing rod, so you can just real it in when done. We hid behind a bolder about 60 yards away and had lots of fun! This set up works even better with a remote varmint call box.

Have fun!

What are some of the environmental costs and benefits of hunting and gathering?

Let’s assume we are talking about people as hunters and gatherers. If the population is small, their effect can be insignificant. However, if their population is large or concentrated, human Hunting and gathering can be a disaster. For example, many of the world’s prehistoric large mammals have been killed off by human hunting. Also, the large scale gathering of fish from the oceans has vastly reduced the total number of large fish, and some are on the brink of extinction, e.g., the blue fin tuna.

Not too sure which type of dog to buy? This is part 2 of 3 articles that addresses the different needs and characteristics of some of the popular dogs. Look out for my other 2 articles ‘Dog Breed Characteristics – small dogs’ and ‘Dog Breed Characteristics – large dogs’.

Bulldog

This is a commonly misunderstood dog. Although its name and appearance (and those cartoons that depict fierce bulldogs) suggest that it is not-so-friendly, it is generally friendly and docile. Due to this nature, they get along well with children and other dogs. They love attention and are really loyal creatures. They can also be easily trained. They need daily exericse and overweight bulldogs can lead to health problems related to the heart and lungs. Interestingly, it was used in the 1600s for bullbaiting, but has since lost its aggressiveness after the sport was outlawed.

Dalmatian

This is probably one of the most filmed breed (think 101 and you get what I mean) and you cannot miss it with its trademark white coat with black spots. It is believed to be one of the oldest breed around and they are generally free from illness. They usually get sick with old age. Note that Dalmatians are dogs with lots of energy and they require frequent exercise. You should not buy a Dalmatian if you do not have the time to take care of it.

Siberian Husky

Originated from Siberia, it has a thick-furry coat and tail. It looks very much like its ancestor, the wolf. They are known to howl rather than bark. Because of their intuitive Hunting nature, they make good Hunting Dogs. They are also stubborn creatures and proper obedience training is needed. Siberian Huskies are very intelligent and are therefore popular with dog shows. They are also used in sled dog racing because of their high level of fitness.

Australian Shepherd

It was not originated from Australia as its name suggests, but was brought up on ranches in the United States. It is a popular herding dog, but has slowly made its way into homes due to its obedience and eagerness to please its owners. It is usually a sweet and affectionate dog which is faithful to its owners and is great with children. There are, noticeably, two distinct types of personalities. One is an energetic dog that requires frequent exercise and enjoys doing tricks, while the other enjoys being a couch potato. Due to their herding nature, they bark warnings when they notice anything unusual. Intelligent and good with tricks, they make good pets.

Poodle

They are considered one of the most intelligent breeds of dog. They can be easily recognised with very short hair around the body, except for the head, legs and tail (google for the pictures). Owners can choose to groom their own poodles in any way they like, but I think they look funny though. Poodles are known to be active. They can get bored easily and have been known to create bad mischief. In general, they are eager to please and are easy to train. They make good pets for those families with children.
