Explain why they were adopted and what you accomplish by following these regulations.

The fishing regulation booklet is available at all outlets that sell fishing licenses. Country stores, sporting good stores, Walmart, And the local wild life and fisheries office. Most regulations were adapted because of political pressure from various interest groups such as bass clubs and commercial fishing interests. And this is what you will accomplish by following those regulations- you will save yourself a day in court and a $350 fine minimum. More serious breaches allow them to confiscate your boat, vehicle, fishing equipment and anything else used when the infractions were committed. The serious stuff is when you are charged with selling game fish.

How many fishing of "All other species" of what size can be taken?

E.g. How many sunfish could I take? (not that I would take sunfish)

That chart is confusing.

Thanks

"All other species" means fish that are not listed on the chart for fresh water fish. There’s no size limit or limit on the amount you can take. Hold up Cowboy, before you go out setting a Ripley’s Believe it or not stunt, here’s the deal. Those are state standards. Local standards per county may be different ( ie or ei .. whatever) local parks may not let you take sunfish ( example) unless it’s a certain size. This would be called " fish management." So you really have to do some home work for the area you plan to fish before you fish it and plan on taking some home for dinner. ~good luck catchin’

I am wondering as i would like to try shark fishing sometime, i am an adrenaline junky and i love to take on the biggest and the best challenges i can get.

Ride a motorcycle. Go play in the freeway.

Is there any specific regulation for fishing in Germany in rivers and lakes? how can I find those regulations?

Specially for state of Bremen in North-West.

Bremen is a very interesting city and has the only medieval town hall in Europe that has never been burnt down or otherwise destroyed though it did get a new facade in medieval times and has had a number of restoration projects completed on various sections of it more recently.
Bremen is a free city of the Hanseatic League now incorporated into Federal Germany and has a huge shipping industry and port. It is an hour by train from both Hamburg and Hanover, both worth visiting.
It stands on the River Weser which has some very good fishing and the river has been the subject of many river crossings on military exercises for much of it’s length…..by night most often, without light and with trepidation at times as the first of the tanks made their way across a newly built temporary bridge again built by night without lights and mostly without sound.
Such happy days of memory now, silently bridging the dear and lovely Weser of northern Germany.

The best general info site for Gemany That I know is this, which has a lot of information on nearly all aspects of living in or visiting Germany.

German nationals do a course on basic fish biology, river ecology and safety and pass an exam at the end of the course before they can get a fishing license. The course costs a lot of money.
Once passed, the result is for life as a qualification but the license itself lasts for only one year and the next year another has to be bought. It’s quite pricey.
When they have a license they can apply for a fishing permit for any paricular water.
Visitors to Germany must also complete an exam course in order to get a tourist fishing license valid for a maximum of one month and you need to give notice of your arrival date so an arrangement can be made for you to do the short version of the course and take the exam.
That is the standard basic way of things throughout Germany and is covered by Federal Law.
As an aside, here is the Basic Federal Law of Germany which may make useful reading either for general interest or specific areas you may want to get some info about.

However there are a lot of places now which waiver that requirement for a fishing license for visitors although you will still need to get a tourist fishing permit which again is valid for one month maximum.

In the Bremen visitor websites there is only a mention of no license being necessary if fishing in private ponds and the site below is unclear about the position of reagarding licenses in Bremen for lakes and rivers.
Here is a brief overview of the position in each of the states of Germany, in sometimes poor translation.
http://www.fisch-hitparade.de/en/fischereischein.php . . . . . .
Not much, but a word with local fishing shop staff or a call into the Rathaus or Stadtampt in Bremen or Bremerhaven or any police station might produce a better result.
Enjoy some good fishing anyway if you manage to get some done

how is the sea bass and porgy fishing

Note sure about porgies, but the sea bass are in! Lots of schoolies with some keepers returning slowly.

does he want a camo thermos for fishing? I usually don’t use camo stuff unless I’m bowhunting because if you set it down on the ground it has a way of disappearing. why does he need the camo if he’s fishing? but anyway, yeah, go to a bigbox sporting goods place. They have a version of just about everything with a mossy oak pattern.

Hey, you can find it here:

They will give you exact answer on what you’re looking for. Just simply visit the site and follow the details in there. You will be thankful for their service undoubtedly!

I’m going there in like 2 weeks and heard there was good fishing. I will get a chance to go in the sound and ocean. Also could you specify what baits for what types of fish.

i investigated Outer Banks fishing and they have the same species of fish we have here in Flagler Beach Fl. if your not familiar with fishing saltwater you might want to target Spots & Croaker. Spots and Croaker will give you the most action. if you target bigger game species like Redfish, Sea Trout, Stripers, Bluefish, Flounder you probably won’t get as many hits. But who knows? you might kill’m.

The best bait for surf fishing that area would be dead shrimp. you could also use fresh cut mullet and squid.

you might want to take or buy some half oz Jigs and use either Berkley saltwater Gulp or a Strip bait of mullet. there is tons of info on Outer Bank Fishing do a google search for more info.

I have no paperwork for either model that instructs you how to change the fishing line. I’ve seen schematics for the model 170 but no instructions for either model. These are the ‘60-’70’s vintage reels. Thank you.

Have you try to take the top off because there should be a area in there where line suppose to go but if you have any problem you should just go to a local bait and tackle shop and im pretty sure they would help you or they would even ask if you want line on them and they would gladly put fishing line on your reel for a cheaper price then if you bought a whole 300 YRD line at the store.
