“Wait, I can\u2019t do this here?” Chances are you have probably blurted this question out before when you\u2019ve been fishing in a different part of the world. Truth be told, each place has their own culture, rules and traditions that you have to adhere to and observe when visiting. That said, it\u2019s best to do some research around your destination and its fishing laws prior to travelling to prevent things from \u2013 um \u2013 getting tangled up! Here are some interesting facts on fishing etiquette and laws from around the world that you need to observe.<\/p>\n

Don’t Chase the Fish Away \u2013 Hawaii<\/h2>\n

Sure, fishing can be a social activity but there are times that you have to keep your distance from other fishermen, especially if they\u2019re doing it for a living. In Hawaii, when someone is pole fishing, spear diving or throwing a net to the sea, you don\u2019t go near them. It is a sign of disrespect if you approach a fishing boat<\/a> and make a lot of noise \u2013 for them it\u2019s like you\u2019re trying to drive away the fish. So, if you\u2019re in Hawaii and you spot a fishing boat, don\u2019t get near them; it\u2019s best to stay at least 150 feet away.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s It Gringo, You Can Go Home Now \u2013 Mexico<\/h2>\n

While some countries allow you to fish as much as you want, certain places such as Mexico put a limit to how much you can bag in a day. According to their regulations, you can only take ten fish per permit holder. Sounds fair enough, right? Well there are further limitations that apply. Although you are allowed to keep ten fish a day, you can\u2019t catch more than five of the same species per day. So, if you have six wahoo, you are doomed. There are even species that you can only catch one at a time such as shark, marlin and dorado. Be sure to read up prior to your visit.<\/p>\n

Is Your Rod Licensed? \u2013 Northern Ireland<\/h2>\n

In the Emerald Isle, you don\u2019t need a fishing license to fish in the sea. However, when you opt to fish in Northern Ireland, you need to have your rod licensed first. In addition, you need to have a license when you\u2019re going to fish for sea trout and salmon.<\/p>\n

These are just three examples of the various fishing cultures and laws that you should keep in mind when fishing aboard. There are hundreds of places around the world where you can enjoy fishing, but the point we want you to take away from this is to be informed and respectful of individual cultures, laws and traditions.
