There's nothing like diversity for accents than here in the UK, travel an hour in any direction and you'll find a different dialect. Personally I love the northern accents and find them much warmer and more appealing than the southern accents

Same here. Just more distance before it becomes obvious. That sort of makes sense as the U.S. is MUCH larger than the UK so there are wider areas with the same dialect, or close enough, to really not matter..

Still; let's consider a person in a "deep South" community that is mostly populated born and bred in the town. Now consider the same person born and bred in the Bronx, a borough of New York City, Put them together and is is VERY likely that they would have issues with trying to have a complicated conversation.

Im gonna attempt fishing for the first time ever in a few weeks. Bought some cheap soft plastics and line with a rod on its way in the mail. I haven't done a lot of reading into fishing but I hope I've got everything I need to catch some perch or anything else that bites .

Are you going to fish a river, lake, stream, bay or ocean? Or maybe one of your tanks!

River first and if it goes successfully, on to lake and if not successful I'll attempt to catch anything in my tanks

I've heard that Angel fish put up the best fight.

I'll wager that if we all met in person to talk, the only person who would be clear and have no accent would be me.

Okay, maybe not.
When I was a kid, there were recognizable neighbourhood and social class accents. The Mohawk kids had a distinct accent based on their native language, and there was a difference between Quebecois and Acadian speakers in anglais. The Italians, Greeks, Vietnamese, Chinese, Finns and other put their spin on things too.

Now, fishing... you guys would enjoy that around here. Fish are like languages - lots of local diversity.

Looks like great baits for crappie or bluegill species in muddy/tannin stained waters!
