Thread: New species of fish.....

The nerd in me has to ask....

Anyone caught anything interesting on "Pokemon Go" off the pier?

Google what Niantic gets access to when you log in via your google account. Talk about 1984 "big brother"...I loved the originals as a kid but I enjoy my privacy.

but to answer your question, prob a water based Pokemon

Huh? Luddite here......

I find that Pokemon go is a good alternative to geocaching for small children. I don't know much about Pokemon itself, but my four year old had a blast catching them with me all weekend. My thoughts are that it might be a good activity for her and momma to take part in while I get some fishing done the next time we come down.

The other night @ BPS I walked in on a group of teenagers in the Fly Shop walking around with their cellphones in front of their faces.
Asked if I could could help and one said "Do you know where the Pokemon is?"
I thought they might be on drugs! lol

So, now you can hunt Pokemon on the pier with a clear conscience!

Thanks for clearing that up. I doubt I'll play though. I've been so busy with work, I don't even have time for fishing unfortunately.
