Basic Carp Fishing - Some Helpful Tips

Carp fishing can be a frustrating yet exciting type of fishing. This is because carp fish are adept at blow sucking and blowing. Carp usually stay eating on the surface of the water as long as food such as bread, peas and corn are present.

Here are some of the important carp fishing tips. First of all, have any food such as cookies softened. You can do this by soaking them with water for a few minutes. Afterwards put the wet piece inside a sealed plastic bag for one hour. It all depends on the kind of food - as long as you see that it is already firm for casting, then you can now hook it as bait. Another tip in hooking bait is by attaching the pellet to the shank by gluing it.
Get the carp into feeding - this allows them to become at ease with the bait. And as they become more comfortable, this is a good indication for the angler as the fish becomes less picky. These carp fishing tips are actually useful when employing the method of zig rigs.

As soon as they become quite at ease with feeding, you now can cast your bait. However, it is a must that the fishing bait does not fall directly into the area where the carp are eating. Ideally, you must cast and position your bait away from the location of the feeding carp. Slowly, pull the bait gently, drawing it to the feeding position. As the bait hangs, you have to be patient and continue supplying the area with food in order to attract further the fish and make it stay and feed with your food.

It is advisable for fishers to utilize hair rig - such will increase the changes of catching carp fish. Carp initially taste the food, they tend to be very picky. And if it so happens that they do not like how the food tastes, they would avoid it. So it is advisable to choose the food items that are good to their taste.

Simply put it is not just the bait that effectively catches the fish - it is actually the fishing method which is used to introduce the bait. One of the most effective carp fishing tips is to do pre-baiting regularly on a single spot.

Carp will think that this spot is a good place for them to feed. Soon enough many carp will visit the area. And you have an excellent place to fish for carp.

Fly Fishing Is A Popular Angling Sport

The term 'fly-fishing' is used to describe a method of angling in which fish are caught through the use of an artificial 'fly' which is cast using a fly rod, reel and a specialized weighted line. The 'flies' that are used for this activity are often tied by fishermen themselves to resemble food organisms or other natural invertebrates. The techniques used in casting these flies and also 'lures' (objects attached to the end of fishing lines which are designed to resemble and move like the prey of certain fish) are significantly different from those used in other forms of fishing and casting. The techniques used in fly fishing can also greatly vary according to the terrain in which it is being practised, with the approach used in large rivers being considerably different to that used in small streams.

Fly fishing can be practised in both salt and fresh water. In Britain, for example, a clear distinction is made between 'game-fishing' for species such as trout and salmon and 'coarse fishing' in which the target species include carp, bream and chub. The practise of fly fishing has been occurring for several hundred years, as shown by the publication of 'The Treatyse on Fysshynge with an Angle' as long ago as 1496.

Unlike many other methods of casting, fly fishing is often viewed as a means of casting a line rather than a lure as the fly on the end of the line is far too light to be cast and as a result it simply follows the unfurling of a properly cast fly line whereas in other non-fly types of fishing, the weight of the lure is utilised to pull line from the reel after being cast. The types of cast being used in fly fishing depend almost entirely on the conditions. The most common cast used in fly fishing is the 'forward cast'.

The 'Forward Cast' involves the angler whisking the fly into the air and over his shoulder until the line is almost straight and then cast forward, primarily through the use of the forearm. The aim of this technique is to "load" (bend) the rod tip with stored energy and then transmit this energy to the line itself. This is intended to result in the fly line (as well as the fly itself) being cast for an appreciable distance in contrast to the short distance resulting from just bending the rod back and releasing it.

How To Catch Any Fish - Smallmouth Bass on Bait and Lures

Description

Smallmouth bass are slightly less widespread than their cousins, the Largemouth Bass. I have caught a few hundred of them in various places but I don't feel I know nearly as much about them as the Largemouth. They tend to frequent colder waters than the Largemouth although in many places the same lake will hold both species. Smallmouth also tend to spawn and generally hang out in deeper water, so perhaps that makes them feel less familiar than the Largemouth. They tend to hit many of the same lures although often you will have more success if you downsize a bit.

Smallmouth Bass do not attain the same large potential size as the Largemouth. A 5lber is a very big one and they top out around twice that. They are scrappier than Largemouth pound for pound and their fight is usually noticeably better.

I have never eaten one, so I don't know how they taste. I always release them.

Tackle

I have never fished for Smallmouth with anything heavier than a light spinning rod and 6lb test line. A Daiwa Certate spinning reel is an excellent choice for these.
Techniques

Smallmouth hit both bait and lures. They are often found near week edges or sunken timber. Beaver houses are a good bet if they are present.

Lures

The number one lure for me has been the Senko. Colors that have worked for me include Green Pumpkin and Watermellon. I like the 4" version for Smallmouth.

Small jigs with a Gulp Craw or similar crayfish imitation trailer work well in many places. The Bitsy Bug is a great jig in natural crayfish colors.

I have also had some success fishing tube jigs in Green Pumpkin or Watermellon. I like the Strike King Kevin Van Dam Pro Tube. I like to cast these out and let them sink slowly, occasionally twitching on the way down. Most bites happen on the sink so you have to pay a lot of attention to how your jig is falling. If something stops it, reel in the slack and set the hook. If it sinks and you get no hits then twitch it while reeling a foot or two and then let it drop and repeat all the way to the boat.

Another common lure for Smallmouth is a crayfish imitation crankbait such as the Rebel Craw but I have not really fished those much. When they are hitting topwaters (typically early morning and in the evening) the Heddon Baby Torpedo can be good.

Baits

Minnows and leeches are supposed to be good baits, but I have not fished for Smallmouth much with baits. I'm guessing crayfish work well given how much Smallmouth like them.

Where to get the big ones

The two biggest Smallmouth ever caught were in Dale Hollow, Tennessee so that seems like a good place to try. For numbers there are many lakes in Ontario, Canada that have tons of small to medium size ones.

How To Catch Any Fish - Yellowfin Tuna on Bait and Lures

Description

Yellowfin Tuna ("Ahi" in Hawaiian) are a beautiful and tasty fish found throughout the world in warm waters. They are probably the most commonly caught offshore gamefish.

Yellowfin Tuna swim great distances during their lifetimes. They attain sizes in excess of 300lbs, although fish this size are only found in the Eastern Pacific and are generally caught in Mexico. Many nice fish in excess of 200lbs are also caught in Panama.

Yellowfin Tuna are very common in sushi restaurants. They are also good seared.

Like all tuna they pull hard for their size. When you get them near the boat they turn sideways and swim in large circles making it a long process to get them in the boat. It's virtually impossible to horse the larger ones in quickly no matter what tackle you are using.

Tackle

You should scale your tackle to the size of fish targeted. Small schoolies in the 10-15lb range are great fun on light tackle in the 15lb range, while the large ones require heavy gear and 100lb braided line. For the big guys I recommend an Accurate Platinum ATD 50.
Techniques

Yellowfin Tuna can be caught with bait and lures. Many techniques will work. These tuna often feed near the surface so topwater techniques can be used.

Lures

For trolling, you can try tuna feathers, cedar plugs, and plastic skirted trolling lures. Rapala type plugs also work.

If you find a school of feeding fish you can cast lures into them. One fun way to catch them is with poppers. Both traditional chugger type lures retrieved in a "pop-pop-pause" rhythm. Ranger type lures skipped over the surface on a steady retrieve often work.

Baits

Anchovies and sardines work well for the smaller school size fish. Pacific Mackerel work well for the larger ones, while the biggest ones can be targeted with large live Skipjack Tuna in the 2-5lb size. Many baitfish work; just try whatever is in the area that the tuna might be feeding on.

Very large Yellowfin Tuna can be caught fishing baits below a kite. The kite keeps the baits right at the surface. The baitfish splashing on the surface often works when nothing else will.

If you are trying for giants you can try slow-trolling a live Skipjack. That also works well for Marlin if they are in the same area. If you are going to try this make sure your boat has tuna tubes to keep the Skipjack alive.

If live bait is not available you can try "chunking". This entails cutting chunks of a large bait fish (perhaps a Skipjack) and then tossing them over the size like chum. In one of the chunks hide a circle hook and let it drift down naturally with the rest of the chunks.

Where to get the big ones

The biggest Yellowfin Tuna are on the Pacific Coast of Mexico. The San Diego long range fleet targets these in the fall and most of the biggest ones are caught on these boats. Puerto Vallarta also has some giants, as does Hannibal Bank in Panama. Lousiana is supposed to have a good fishery for the 100lbers if you want to be in the States. All of my big ones were caught in Puerto Vallarta though.

How To Catch Any Fish - Black Marlin on Bait and Lures

Black Marlin Description

Black Marlin and their cousins the Blue Marlin are the largest game fish in the world, with large specimens sometimes exceeding 1,000 pounds. There is no sight more awe-inspiring in fishing than the sight of these massive fish leaping into the air right behind your boat when they are hooked. Because they are large apex predators you often have to hunt for a long time to find one, but when you hook one you forget how long you had to wait.

Black Marlin are found in tropical seas throughout the world. Personally I have fished for them in Mexico, Costa Rica, and Panama. It's very hard to fish for these on a budget but I did manage to land a 400lber while fishing from a small panga in Costa Rica.

Black Marlin Tackle

Most fishermen will likely find it easiest to just charter a boat that has the appropriate tackle for these monsters. I personally like to bring my own when I can, and when I do I bring a heavy trolling outfit (I like to use an Accurate Platinum ATD 50 trolling reel and a custom roller rod) loaded with at least 130lb braid and a 300lb mono leader. You don't want to go through all of the expense of going to a distant location and hooking the fish of a lifetime and then losing it because you pinched pennies on the tackle.
Black Marlin Techniques

There are two main ways that people catch Black Marlin - slow trolling large live or dead skipping baits like skipjack tuna or faster trolling with large skirted marlin lures. I have no source to back this up but I would imagine that at least 80% of all black marlin are landed using one of those two techniques.

Black Marlin Lures

Most marlin hunters use rubber skirted lures such as Moldcraft soft heads, Black Barts, and Pakulas.

These are dragged behind the boat at varying distances until a marlin is sighted coming up to look at the lures. At that point you can either hope that it bites or drop back a large live or dead bait to see if you can entice it with that.

Black Marlin Baits

Most fish in the 1-10lb size range that are found offshore where the marlin are will make good live baits. Probably the most common are smaller members of the tuna family such as skipjack. These are caught by trolling small rubber skirts or other lures and then quickly placed alive in "tuna tubes" (Note: if you are thinking of chartering a boat to fish for black marlin it is generally advisable to get a boat with tuna tubes so that this kind of live bait fishing is an option). Once you have enough baits you can bridle them and slow troll them until something smashes them. A good approach is to troll one bait on each side of the boat and then have another one down deep on a downrigger if you have one. Most captains now use circle hooks to get a better hookset and ensure a cleaner release.

When a fish takes the bait you can ease the tension on the reel until the line starts going out at a good clip that and you can't stop the spool with your thumb. That usually means the marlin has taken the bait. At that point the captain can gun the engine and (if you are using a circle hook) you can steadily increase the drag tension in order to set the hook. Sometimes marlin play around with the baits by whacking them with their bills, other times they swallow them immediately and head for Guam (note: this does not happen in Guam). You have to pay attention and feel what is going on with the bait through the line. Marlin have tough mouths and it can be difficult to drive a hook in, which is another reason to use circle hooks.

Other Black Marlin Tips

The best advice I can give here is to do your research and find a good captain who knows what they are doing and has caught a lot of Black Marlin. Figure out the prime season for the area you are going to, pick an experienced captain, and hopefully you will get some shots. Marlin fishing is never guaranteed no matter where you go, so you have to stack the odds in your favor.

Where to get the big Black Marlin

Australia is the best known place to land the giants. Fish over 1,000lbs are routinely landed during the peak season off the Great Barrier Reef near Cairns. Panama also has a consistent fishery for mid size (200-600lb) fish and Puerto Vallarta, Mexico can be very good in the fall. The captains I have fished with have liked the periods a few days before or after the full moon.

How To Catch Any Fish - Lingcod

Description

Lingcod are a gnarly-looking bottom fish with a wicked set of teeth. They have huge mouths and basically hang out in the rocks on the bottom and eat whatever swims by. For this reason they are relatively easy to catch. They don't put up that much of a fight but they are pretty tasty.

Lingcod are found from Northern Baja up to Alaska. They are caught in the same areas as the Rockfish. Their unique and fierce appearance makes them one of my favorite bottom fish to catch. Lingcod do not have a swim bladder, so they do not blow up if reeled up from deep water. This makes them very easy to release if you are not keeping them to eat.

Tackle

Any medium weight conventional set up should work fine. I recommend braided line (at least 30lb) for almost all bottom fishing because it doesn't stretch and so you can make a much more effective hookset. It also decreases the chances you will get stuck in the rocks where Lingcod live. Unfortunately you will inevitably get hung up sometimes (if you don't you are probably not fishing close enough to the bottom) so you may not want to go with super-heavy line as it will be tough to break off. An Accurate BX 400 is a good choice for these.
Techniques

Lingcod are caught on both lures and live or dead bait. Interestingly, they often latch on to smaller Rockfish that you hook and if you don't lift their head out of the water you can sometimes net or gaff them without them even being hooked.

Lures

Many Lingcod are caught on metal jigs. The jigs don't even have to have much action; you can just bounce them up and down near the bottom. Personally I have had more success with shiny silver jigs. You don't need anything that fancy. Once you hook one you have to pull hard initially to get them out of the rocks. I like to use jigs with stinger hooks on the top of the lure rather than treble hooks on the bottom. This helps you snag less.

Lingcod will also eat large plastic grubs or swimbaits. These are harder to keep on the bottom especially when there is strong current.

Baits

Lingcod eat live or dead baits but obviously live usually works better. In So Cal or Baja it's hard to beat a large live mackerel. Just fish a one or two hook dropper loop and put it one crank off the bottom. Most of the time this results in a bite within 5 mins.

Where to get the big ones

In general the farther north you go, the bigger these get. The real monsters can be caught in Alaska. Great action can be had in Northern Baja, but you have no shot at the 70lb+ fish they have in Alaska.

Fishing - Water Temperatures are Important

Fishing is a lot of fun if you are catching fish, but if you are just sitting with your line in the water and getting no bites it can be frustrating and boring. If you are interested in spring fishing and want your best shot of catching a lot of fish then you need to learn a little bit about water temperature

Basically, fish like crappie and bass like to be in warmer water and when they are about to spawn this is especially so. When you know how the fish react and what they are looking for in regards to water temperature then you will have a good idea of how to find them!The weather also affects water temperature so you need to keep this in mind, too. If you are interested in catching crappie then you should know that they spawn when the temperature is between 60 and 65 degrees.

The male crappies will be in the 60 degree water first and will prepare the beds for the female crappies to spawn. The female crappies won't start coming into the shallower water until it is around 64 degrees. So if you are fishing during the spring in a water temperature of about 60 and you catch a crappie it is most definitely a male! It is also important to keep in mind that crappies spawn over a period of time, not all at once. The spawning period may last up to six weeks.

Bass like it a little warmer when they spawn and wait for water temperatures of 65 to 70 degrees. The premise is the same as with crappies. Bass come into the shallow waters around 65 – 67 degrees and prepare the beds for the females. Then, when the water temperature hits 69 to 70 degrees the females will start making their way to the warmer, shallower water in order to spawn. The spring months of April and May are the perfect times for bass to spawn and you will have plenty of luck fishing in shallow waters.

Keep in mind, too, where the water temperature varies within a lake or pond. If the area has lots of trees, limbs, and the like under the water then the water will be warmer and more fish will congregate there. Open water is cooler and not as many fish will be out there, making your fishing attempts really difficult. Shallow water is always warmer than deep water and where you will have a better chance of catching a fish. Also, after a rain watch where the water drains into the lake or pond. If it was warm rain water then you can count on the fish finding that area and camping out.

As long as you know how to find the area in the lake or pond that is the warmest then you will have the best chances of catching plenty of fish. The above tips should help you tremendously in this effort

Crappie Fishing

There is nothing more enjoyable in fishing than to have your favorite type of fish to catch. For some anglers Crappie fishing fulfills this need. The best places to look for crappie fish are probably well known to most crappie anglers. There are novices however who will still need to be able to procure this information.

The first item to be a success at crappie fishing is to know what sort of crappie you want to catch. You have a choice of two crappie versions to choose from. These will be the white crappie and that of the black crappie. Both varieties of crappie fish can be found in warm waters. You will be able to fish for them in clear waters and muddy stained waters.

For the person who is interested in crappie fishing you should understand that as crappie fish swim in largish schools you can plan on catching a few if you plan your strategy of fishing right. The first step for this is to make sure that you have chosen the right location.

As with all types of fish crappies look for locations where you will find lots of cover like overhanging rocks, natural cavelets, sunken logs with crevices and spaces hidden from prying predatory eyes. Once you have discovered the best spot for crappie fishing it is time to choose your fishing lures.

These should be chosen with the time of day and condition of the water. The best way to nab your catch of crappies is to select lures or bait which closely. You will find that lures like curly tail grubs, beetle spin, maribou jigs, spinners, small gold blade and others will all be of help when you are fishing.

Now when you have gotten your equipment all ready you will need to look for the best place where you can get this fishing trip underway. The times of year when you can discover lots of crappies will be towards springtime. At this time of the year you will find that it is the pre-spawning period of the crappies.

By choosing this time period you can be assured that fishing will be plentiful. The females and the males will be found in various places of the rivers. In most cases the females are found in deeper waters than the males. There are also times when you can find it easy to see about crappie fishing in over populated fishing areas.

The final item that needs to be stated about crappie fishing is that these fish are fun to test your prowess against. You can also have a tasty meal with these delicious fish. Also you should see about cooking them over a grill and well flavored too.

Deep Fishing

Deep fishing can be for sport or commercial means. It is the practice of fishing in deep water to catch fish that live or feed near the bottom. These bottom fish get high prices at market that make them very desirable to fishermen. Deep fishing is hard and strenuous. The equipment used is heavy and more complex than that of regular fishing. There are three basic ways of deep fishing - anchoring and chumming, bottom trolling and trawling. Each way uses a different approach and take certain special skill.

The equipment used to deep fish is basically the same as other fishing equipment. In deep fishing, though, the equipment has to be suited to fishing in the depths of the water. The line need to be stronger because the fish are stronger and larger. Instead of a pole, a hand reel is used. The hand reel is attached to the boat and reels in the line. The set up of deep fishing equipment starts with the mainline. The main line attaches to the hand reel and needs to be long enough to go the required depth. Attached to the mainline is the terminal rig. The terminal rig holds smaller line, called trace lines. These trace lines hold the hooks and bait. Some fisherman also attach a chum bucket to the terminal rig. A chum bucker contains ground up bait, called chum. Periodically this chum is released to attract fish. On the bottom of the line is the sinker. The sinker must be heavy enough to pull the line to the bottom. The most important part of deep fishing is the bait. It should be fresh and well attached to the hook. Try double-hooking (attaching the bait through two points with the hook) to ensure it doesn't fall off. Because you are working at great depths, you need to make sure your bait will work good. All of this equipment will ensure you have a nice deep fishing experience.

The three basic types of deep fishing each use a certain method to attract to fish or catch the fish. Anchoring and chumming is a type of deep fishing that relies heavily on the use of a chum bucket. The chum bucket is the main source of bait. The fisherman anchors in one spot and then uses the periodic release of chum to catch fish. Bottom trolling uses a cannon ball as its tactic. The cannon ball is drug around the bottom where it stirs up mud and causes noise. This stirs up the fish, provoking them to bite the bait. Trawling is used to catch many fish at once. It involves a net with weights and wheels attached to it. This net rolls along the bottom and scoops up fish. Each type has its good points and bad points, but those are mainly based upon the fisherman's goals. The method you chose to use for deep fishing is up to you.

Deep fishing takes skill and some preparation. Fishing at the bottom comes with its own problems. Fisherman do not want to keep pulling up their line to check bait or move to a different location. Planning the type of deep fishing is also important so you are prepared with the correct equipment. A little planning and patience will make for a good deep fishing experience.

What You Need To Know About Fishing Sunglasses

You need sunglasses when you go fishing to protect your eyes from whatever shortcomings that may come your way. But buying ordinary sunglasses will do more harm than good. To avoid such danger, you need polarized fishing sunglasses. This is ideal for fishing to protect you against the rays of the sun. But there are certain tips you need to know in order to choose a polarized fishing sunglasses and this article will show you how.

Why should you bother to own a pair of fishing sunglasses? If you love outdoor activities like fishing, a protective eye wear is essential for you. Your eyes are one of your most delicate organs and a good pair of fishing sunglasses will ensure that they are protected from the sun's damaging rays and foreign objects like sand and wind.

You don't just wear any sunglasses. Wear sunglasses designed for fishing. Here are what you should consider before purchasing fishing sunglasses:

- The best fishing sunglasses are those that have polarized lenses, which prevent ultraviolet or UV rays to avoid damage of your eyes. UV rays damage the cornea. They cause photokeratitis, cataracts, and other eye defects. Other than protecting your eyes, fishing sunglasses allow you to see amidst the glare of the sun.

- The fishing sunglasses you select must be hydro repellent and shock resistant. They must be sturdy, but lightweight. You have those sunglasses for quite some time while at sea. It is best that they feel like you are not wearing them. Also, sunglasses may fall from your head to the ground and break easily if they are not sturdy enough. Fishing sunglasses also come with a pouch for safekeeping or a cleaning cloth to wipe away dirt and water.

- Select fishing sunglasses with inserts on temples and nose piece for a cozy fit. The inserts and nose piece also hold the sunglasses in place. The temples must be built with air channels that let the sunglasses float. This will make the sunglasses easier to find when you lose them in the water. A wrap-around shape is best to stop glare and UV rays from coming around the sides, top, and bottom.

- Choose fishing sunglasses with lens that can be interchanged to match them with the current weather. Weathers change and it would be too expensive if you buy several sunglasses with their own particular colored lens. Colors of the lens have varied purposes. You use dark lenses for a clear, bright day. You wear light-colored lenses for gloomy or cloudy weather.

- Sunglasses, especially polarized fishing sunglasses, block the sun's glare from our eyes. But what if it is a cloudy day? Take note that we are exposed to the UV rays even on cloudy days, so we still need the protection. Dark cloudy days can still be glary.

- It feels good to invest on a good pair of polarized fishing sunglasses as their style can be worn everywhere and everyday. However, quality fishing sunglasses are costly. If you aren't sure about purchasing one, try an low-priced pair first.

Where do you get the best deals in polarized fishing eye wear? There are various websites you can visit without leaving the comfort of your home. Go check websites of manufacturers of polarized fishing sunglasses. You can also visit online stores showcasing this product. You may be able to find discounts.

Bass Fishing Tips


Avoid Snags

Walleye - Learn the facts that can help you catch the trophies

This pike-like freshwater perch is a 'perciform' fish native to the northern United States and southern Canada. Walleye (Sander vitreus vitreus, or Stizostedion vitreum vitreum) is considered the North American relative of the European pikeperch, although they are not from the same family.

Walleye are usually larger than perch and can be distinguished from them by their scale color. Some walleyes are often referred to as yellow pike or pickerel, although this name should be discouraged because they are not pikeperch or pickerel fish, but yellow walleye is the right name, also used to distinguish it from the extinct blue walleye.

Walleyes show some of variation across watersheds, and its peculiar name comes from the fact that their eyes, not unlike those of cats, reflect light. The light on the eyes of the walleyes is the result of a light-gathering layer called the tapetum lucidum. This characteristic allows the fish to see well in low-light conditions.

Because Walleyes feed at night so anglers often look for them in the knowledge of their luminescent eyes. This fish can also see well in stained or rough turbid waters, giving them an advantage over their prey. Walleye is often found at the breaking waters of Minnesota, in the Mille Lacs Lake, Brainerd Lakes Area, Lake of the Woods, Rainy River, Kabetogama Lake, Leech Lake, Saint Croix River and the Mississippi River.

Other states with walleyes in their waters include Wisconsin, North Dakota, South Dakota, Michigan, Ohio, Montana and Nebraska, besides of Canada, particularly in the Ontario and Toronto areas. Walleyes may be found lurking in turbid waters, but their natural habitat is located in clean waters, particularly deep mesotrophic lakes and moderate to low-gradient rivers.

Walleyes are "cool water" species that grow to about 30 inches (75 cm) in length, weighing approximately 15 lb (7 kg), although their growth rate depends sometimes on where in their range they occur. Southern populations usually grow larger and faster than other fish of the same family, however females of all walleye species grow larger than males.

It is not normal to find a walleye older that 5 or 6 years, but it is known that they can live for several decades. The oldest walleye recorded reached 29 years of age. Walleyes are olive color in dorsal and golden hue on the flanks, broken up by 5 dark saddles extending to their upper sides, and distinguished from sauger by their white coloration on the lower lobe of the tail.

Walleyes are best caught when the water temperatures get below 55º F, this is the reason why this fish is the favorite catch during fall, when also the turbidity of the rivers subsides the visual stimulating of walleyes, which can see their food floating, making it easier for the angler to see their activity.

There is a website that has great information on most species of freshwater fish. It has details that pertain to each species of fish such as habitat, spawning, eating habits, the best lures and baits and more, the website is called: Fishing Stringer, and can be found at this url:

Trout Fishing - Learn the facts that can help you catch the trophies

There are many different types of fish which individuals fish for exclusively these days. One variety of fish which is highly sought after by fishermen everywhere is the trout. There are many different subspecies of trout which come in a variety of colors, lengths and weights. This freshwater fish is touted as one of the favorites among game fish found in lakes, rivers and streams.

Most of the different subspecies of trout are found in cold water lakes, streams and rivers. They tend to migrate from place to place and swim in the various areas of the water. They are found throughout the United States as well as parts of Asia and Europe. As for the menu items which trout desire, they mainly feed on aquatic flies such as mayflies and dragonflies. Zooplankton and small fish are also a delicacy for certain types of trout, depending on where they are located.

One of the interesting characteristics about the trout is that they have fins which are lacking in spines. This tends to separate them from some of their other fish counterparts. As for their average age and size, this tends to vary greatly among the various subspecies of trout. In general, trout tend to live many years and can get to great sizes, some even topping over 50 lbs. or more.

There are a few things which trout fishermen can do in order to yield the best catch. First and foremost, those who fish for trout may find that they will catch the most trout by using a particular fishing method. Those who use fly fishing techniques will be most likely to catch the most trout in the fastest time possible. It is important to point out however that rod fishing is also an option.

Trout are attracted to certain types of bait and lures. Some which yield the most interest from trout include spoons, jigs, flies, salmon eggs and worms. Once the trout bites, it is important to set the hook as quickly as possible. In order to catch as many trout as possible, it is important that one engages in their fishing as quietly as they can. As trout are easily scared off, it is important to move slowly and use a natural looking bait or lure so as to be effective in catching this popular fish.

There is a website that has great information on most species of freshwater fish. It has details that pertain to each species of fish such as habitat, spawning, eating habits, the best lures and baits and more, the website is called: Fishing Stringer, and can be found at this url:

Fishing...No Place For Excessive Thinking!

There's no place for excessive thinking when you're fishing in the surf on one of the most beautiful beaches in America. I was walking the beach on a beautiful sunny morning at the end of spring, sighing with contentment as I looked out over the Gulf of Mexico. After the serenity of an early morning tide had lessened somewhat and the few early morning beach walkers had drifted by, it was time to throw my bait into the water. I was about to have a ball catching Pompano on the beach at St. George, Island, Florida.

I had gotten up at 6:00 AM to get a head start on the fish. I try to think like a fish sometimes, nothing elaborate, just your basic survival thinking. When the sun comes up in the morning, I'm hungry. I suspect fish feel the same way, so thinking like a fish, I try to give them what they like to eat for breakfast. I know that a shrimp to a fish is like bacon and eggs to people. With this knowledge I loaded up on live shrimp at one of the three bait shops close to where I was staying.

This was the first day of my vacation on this island and I was determined not to think at all. My brain was on vacation too on this small barrier island on Apalachicola Bay. It boasts that this is the way Florida used to be. If that means there are no huge condominiums, hotels or water parks, then I guess this is the way Florida once was. There are three restaurants that are open during the season and one market. If you don't get to the market before 6pm, you're out of luck because that's when they close up shop for the day.

There are hundreds of privately owned homes that you can rent by the week which is what I did last year in mid June. Comparatively, houses on the island seem to cost a little less to rent than those in the rest of Florida's Gulf Coast. Just down the road a mile from where I was staying is the St. George Island State Park. Still digging out from one of the 2005 hurricanes, the park was only half open when I visited. I only needed an entrance into the park to be able to walk on about 9 miles of uncluttered beach. Along that beach is where I hooked a fish I will never forget!

Parking the car in the designated space, careful not to get in the soft sand on the shoulder of the road through the park, I pulled my fishing stuff out of the trunk. This particular morning I carried my rods and reels and tackle box, along with 2 foot lengths of PVC pipe I had cut for rod holders. I also brought along a lounge chair and cooler to keep the fish I would catch. I felt like a pack mule as I struggled toward a particularly inviting piece of beach.

Although I was almost exhausted by the time I reach my chosen spot, I had the positive attitude all fishermen have just before they make that first cast! After struggling from the parking lot to the water's edge, I dumped all the equipment I had carried from the car. I made a vow that the next time I came to the beach to fish; I would have invested in a cart of some kind to carry all the junk I had brought with me through the soft sand of the beach.

Getting down to the business at hand, I rigged up my fishing line with a two ounce ball weight, tied on a couple of hooks with one and a half foot leaders. Searching through my bait bucket for the perfect shrimp, I grabbed one that I would have like to see simmering in a garlic-butter sauce and hooked him just behind the head and cast him into the gulf. I barely had time to take the slack out of the line before something practically jerked the rod out of my hand.

Right away I set the drag to allow the fish to run without breaking the line. I immediately reset the drag to compensate for the terrific strength the fish seemed to have. I began to get concerned when I looked and saw that over half of my fishing line had already been stripped off the reel. My fish was headed toward Galveston and there was little I could do about it!

I was using 12 pound test line and ordinarily I wouldn't have been concerned about a fish breaking the line, but this one wasn't acting like a two or three pound Pompano. More line was ripping off my reel so I decided to show this fish who was boss. I leaned back on my reel and started a pumping action the way they do on sports shows on television. The fish didn't like this maneuver at all! Suddenly my fishing line became limp. I was reeling in an empty fishing line. The line was broken!

I caught a few Pompano, and they were delicious, that morning but I never got another chance at the fish that got away. It was a great way to start a vacation. Looking back, I probably lost that fish due to excessive thinking. I should have left well enough alone and let the fish tire itself out. I learned my lesson; no more excessive thinking!

Fly Fishing Lines Reviewed

One of the most important disissions when fly fishing is choosing the right fly line for your fishing rod is imperative for success. Fly rods are rated for a given line - or more usually two lines.

Normally the line rating is written somewhere on the butt of the rod, usually as two numbers separated by a / mark. E.g. 3/4 or 7/8. These two figures demonstrate the manufacturers suggested fly line rating. The first figure is for a Double Taper line and the second for a Weight Forward line.

If you are a beginner, a double taper line is one where the thickest part of the line is in the center of its length and the line then tapers away equally towards the two ends.

A weight forward line has an altogether different profile. As the name suggests most the weight of the line, the thickest part, is concentrated at the front end. Behind this section is a long thin section of equal diameter line known as the running line.

The variation between these two profiles reflects the way the lines are used.

A double taper line is used when shorter casts are required, often on rivers and streams. In these conditions you are ordinarily casting to fish high in the water or rising. Because of the slower taper on a double taper line it is easier to cast more delicately and avoid scaring the fish.

One other exceptionaladvantage of the double taper line is that the taper is the same whichever end you use. So if you damage one end of the line you can turn it round and use the other end.

Fortunately the manufacturers do not charge extra for this - yet!

Weight forward lines are better for fishing the wider rivers and lakes where longer casting may be required. Because the weight of the line is concentrated in the front end the rod loads quicker. This makes it easier to build up line speed and momentum which helps to shoot line on the delivery, making for longer casts. This type of line is also better able to cast into or across awkward winds.

The main disadvantage of these types of line is that because more of the weight is concentrated in the front end, there is a much steeper taper to the line end. So these lines tend to land more heavily on the water. This makes delicate presentation more difficult.

The other disadvantage of weight forward lines are that there is a unmistakable right and a wrong way to put the line on the reel. The thin running line has to go on first so that the heavier forward end comes off the reel first.

Get the line the wrong way round and you will find it almost impossible to cast.

While it is always best for beginners to keep with the manufacturers’ recommendation for line rating, modern rods are far more receptive at handling various lines than older rods.

Apart from anything else the more experienced fly fisher develops a feel for when the rod is correctly loaded and can adjust his casting to suit heavier or lighter lines than recommended.

Hopefully, these guidelines help you to recognize and choose the right fly line for your rod and your fishing.

The Thrill of Trout Fishing

The thrill of trout fishing! It is the best, isn’t it? No matter where you plan to go trout fishing, you know you are more than likely going to enjoy your trip. The sport is a sport of its own, set aside from other types of fishing. Some believe trout fishing is the most difficult of any type of fishing. Regardless of if you believe this or not, there are many reasons to love trout fishing.

To begin with, trout fishing is all about being smarter than the fish! You need to know how that fish is going to react long before it does. How do you know this and do this? For one, you need to know about the animal itself. Trout are very smart animals. They know that they are prey, so they will avoid anything they think is going to harm them. So, you, the fisherman, need to be smarter and catch the trout unaware. That is why when you are trout fishing, you will more then likely cast from quite a distance. Trout come up to the surface to feed. If they lay their eyes on you, they are gone. No hope of catching it. Instead, casting from a distance is important to keep you out of the picture.

Trout fishing is also a demanding sport because it takes knowledge. It’s not enough to know about how the trout react, but you have to know what equipment you need. When you go to your local sporting goods stores or tackle shop, you will find that there is often a large line of products designed for trout fishing. The lure that you use will need to be something that will enter the water unnoticeable and without causing a splash. The trout fishing line you use will need to be pretty much clear, but strong. There is much more equipment specific things you can invest in to help you with your trout fishing. Simply look around the store to see what jumps out at you!

Some of the best things about trout fishing are the trips you can enjoy. You can plan a trout fishing trip to last a day, a weekend, or a week. You can book your trout fishing trip to be in a nearby lake or river. But, think about booking a trout fishing trip out of the country! If not, perhaps you would like to consider an out of state trout fishing trip. Not only are these the best ways to enjoy the sport and all types of trout fishing, but you get to see some of the most beautiful places in the world!

It goes without saying that trout fishing is one of the best sports out there. If you are a beginner looking to learn, the best knowledge you can obtain is experience. Yes, you can purchase all that equipment, but nothing will teach and help you more then experience in trout fishing.

Vacation Redfish On St. George Island!

"If you can't catch a fish on St. George Island, you're stupid!", the man running the bait shop told me as I bought fishing license, bait shrimp and a fishing cap.

"You can catch trout. The pompano are running now so you might catch a couple of them. Good eating." he said as he tallied up my bill. "Over on the bay side in the state park, you can hang into some good redfish!"

Carefully carrying my free coffee from the bait shop my tackle I had just bought in the other, I walked outside to bask in the early morning sunshine on St. George Island, Florida. The island is less than a mile wide at its widest point. Located across the bay from Apalachicola and East Point, this was my vacation spot for one glorious sun filled week.

St. George Island State Park was only a mile down the beach from where I was staying. This end of the island was only about ½ mile wide with the Gulf of Mexico on one side and Apalachicola Bay on the other. The bay side was where I spent most of my time fishing for Redfish and Trout. During that week I discovered that I was not stupid at all! Not by a long shot!

Redfish, for those who don't know such things, are the salt water fish with the black spot on their tails. There are redfish tournaments all over the gulf coast. I saw my first one on TV one Sunday morning.

The professionals were using a $30,000 boat, rod and reels that were at least a couple of hundred dollars apiece, trolling motor and an expensive array of artificial bait. They caught several keeping sized redfish! I was hooked! I knew where I was going on my vacation! I used my Walmart $39.95 rod and reel special with a $2.95 silver lure and had a ball. Here's how I did it!

Florida State Parks open at 8:00am. I was there when the gate opened and made my way to the boat ramp on the bay side of the island. It wasn't much of a ramp, but then it didn't need to be for me since I didn't have a boat. A lot of the park was still being renovated after the hurricanes of 2005, thus this shallow ramp.

After watching a couple of small skiffs enter the water, I talked with a fisherman in a kayak waiting his turn to launch. He said that he was going after redfish with a golden spoon. After he paddled off, I looked in my tackle box for a gold spoon but couldn't find one. I had two silver spoons that I hung onto my fishing vest and waded into the water. I also had a fish carrying net hooked onto my vest in case I got lucky and actually caught a fish.

Looking out over the bay as I left the beach and walked along a path that had been cut into the weeds guarding the edge of the water, I saw numerous small spits of land emerging from the bottom of the bay. I recognized I was wading around the edges of oyster bars. The bottom was smooth, but as you walked closer to the little islands, small oysters were every where. Luckily I had my rubber water shoes on or I would have cut my feet on the shells. The depth of the bay at this end of the island was from 2' to 4' no matter where I waded.

I tied on a silver spoon and casted it in the deeper water closer to the weeds. Cranking rapidly on the reel handle, something hit the lure. It felt like I had hooked onto a concrete block. Setting the drag on the reel, I let the fish take the line, reeling slowly as he began to tire. In a few minutes I had him. I had caught my first redfish and he was a beauty.

I measured his length with a fabric tape measure I kept in my fishing vest; 17 inches long. Not good enough. The legal size of redfish is from 18" to 27". Anything smaller or larger than those measurements would get you in trouble with the game wardens. During my week on the island I had heard they were everywhere, looking for any fisherman who had a fish that was shy of those measurements by even a quarter inch. I took no chances, letting my redfish go.

I caught several redfish that morning and they were all fun. The next three were keepers, but alas, you could only keep one in your possession at any time, so I kept the biggest in my mesh sack until it was time to go. Cleaning the fish seemed to be more trouble than it was worth, so I let him go also. All in all, my first morning on the bay was great!

Fly Fishing In Canada

Canada is a beautiful place to visit. When you are planning a fly fishing trip, you’ll find an amazing adventure in Canada! Many of the rivers and lakes where fly fishing is the best are in remote areas, so when you choose fly fishing in Canada, you’ll have privacy with the added perk of some great fishing!

Some of the best fly fishing in Canada is found in the province of Ontario. There are many lodges you can choose from to stay at when you are there, but be warned that most of them are in very remote places where you are likely to be left alone with your party and can only get in and out by plane or train.

The Brown Bear lake system in Ontario is considered one of the best fly-in trophy smallmouth bass lakes in the area. The fish here average between two and three pounds, but four pound fish are common every season with some trophy wall hangers of 5-6 pounds being caught each year.

Norse Lake is a prime example of a remote Canadian fly-in wilderness lake. The lake is protected by a high, picturesque landscape that stays relatively calm even in windy weather. Here, you can catch beautiful walleye, Northern Pike, and smallmouth bass. Trophy sized fish are found every year, so fish this lake for some great opportunities.

Populus Lake offers twelve miles of beautiful water and land for you to explore when fly fishing in Canada. There are numerous channels and bays dotting this lake with all sort of landscape features like rock outcrops and weed beds which are prime breeding ground and hiding places for fish. This lake is situated in a very remote area with walleyes, trout, and Northern Pike in abundance.

Picture a cool, clear Canadian lake with lots of trophy sized smallmouth bass and Northern Pike and you’ll have Treelined Lake. This lake is so clear, you will be able to see the fish clearly near the shoreline. Wildlife is abundant here and it’s not uncommon to see a moose feeding on the shoreline in the twilight. You’ll find some real trophy sized fish on Treelined Lake with Northern Pike averaging over 5 pounds and smallmouth bass at 4-5 pounds.

Because so many fly fishing spots in Canada are located in remote locations, you’ll find peace and serenity during your fly fishing trip there. Enjoy the beauty of the Canadian wilderness while you catch the fish of your dreams. There are so many choices available to you that when you choose Canada for your next fly fishing trip, you’re sure to come away a winner either way!

Fishing: Excellent Fishing Rods for that Perfect Fishing Experience

Today’s fishing rods have incorporated modern features that are not typical of the more primitive cane pole. Modern fishing rods contain reels, which aid in the retrieval of fish caught in its bait.

Today’s fishing rods have incorporated modern features that are not typical of the more primitive cane pole. Modern fishing rods contain reels, which aid in the retrieval of fish caught in its bait.A much-sophisticated feature is the spinning rod where the entire shaft of the rod except the handle can move around on its axis to allow flexibility when fish caught on snare bait struggles through the water. Like the classic cane fishing rods, the fishing gadget is thick at the handle (bottom) and is tapered and thinner at the tip. This very basic design allows handling stability and flexible movement of the entire length of the shaft. Types of Fishing Rods and Specifications. A typical fishing rod measures 6 and 16 feet (2 and 5 m) and vary in capability to tolerate strain in fishing activity. The length has a lot to do with withstanding force exerted by the fish to the pole and determines for the most part the performance of rods used for angling. Cane Poles: Cane poles are one of the smallest and less sophisticated gadgets in fishing. It is usually made of bamboo or other flexible wood material with the most basic fly line attached to it. Unlike other more sophisticated fishing rods, cane poles do not usually contain reels or its equivalent to be used for reeling in or retrieving fish caught on bait. This very same action is known as angling. Spinning Rods: These types of rods are the most popular today. They can be used either for heavyweight or lightweight fish although they were proven best for trout, walleye and bass fish. They vary in measurements from 5 and 7 feet (1.5 and 2.5 m). Spinning poles are commonly used in bass fishing competition accounting for their flexibility and tolerance to stress. They accommodate bigger and tougher fly lines and stabilize them to avoid line tangles during uncoiling of float lines. Jigging Rods: These rods are best for heavy lures and baits especially when reaching around 180 to 200 feet under the ocean’s surface. They are made of fine, solid materials which accounts to their heaviness. The use of jigging rods is specifically due to alternating currents during the fishing activity. Some oceans have erratic undersea current. That is why the bait and fly lines should be kept in place. Lures are also disturbed and cause confusion among fish if the lines are not long and heavy enough to withstand and tolerate water currents under the sea. These rods are best for target fishes usually found dwelling at the bottom of the sea such as halibut and cods.

Classes of Fishing Boats

There are various types of boat fishing and a lot of different fishing boats to match. You can fish from a simple canoe where you dangle a bit of baited string over the side, right through to a fancy powerful cabin cruiser.

Fishing boats come in various types and sizes. The range from eight foot long boats to sixty feet deep sea fishing vessels. Just like in most sports and activities the appropriate gear, fishing is no different. In fishing, equipment such as a pole, rod, line, sinker, hook, and bait are required. A fishing boat is a highly recommended necessity.

If you would rather leave the go-fast boats to the hardcore bass men, you'll find many choices under freshwater fishing boats. From aluminum hulls to fiberglass, from walleye boats, bow riders and dual-consoles to small center consoles, you can pick a style to suit your family's needs and activities.

How do you choose fishing boats that are right for your situation? There are three types of regular fishing boats; deep v, regular v or modified v. The "v" indicates how well the boat cuts through the depth of the water. The deep "v" is better suited for large bodies of water such as lakes because they handle heavy waves better. Regular "v" is better for smaller lakes and man made bodies of water. Regular "v" vessels are able to handle this type of current because the water is not as deep and the waves are not as heavy. The modified "v" is the most sought after version. This boat is capable of handling speed best. Most fishing boats being sold today are made of fiberglass or aluminum. Which one is best for your fishing needs? Do you want to fish in large bodies of water or the smaller ones. The choices are endless.

There are many classes of fishing boats for different situations. All purpose fishing boats are fantastic for your basic fishing situation. The all purpose boat has space for some bench seats, fishing gear and a simple steering area. They typically are made of either fiberglass or aluminum and vary between 15 and 20 feet long.

Another class of fishing boat is a bass boat, which usually comes fully equipped with space for rods and fishing gear. The boat is completely built with electronics and live wells. This boat is made out of fiberglass and aluminum as well. The advantage to this boat is that it is made specifically to catch bass fish.

The third type of fishing boat is center-console. This boat allows a fisherman to cast from any place on the deck. The control center is located in the center of the boat. They could possibly be used offshore as well as near depending on the size of the boat . Flats boats are primarily made up of fiberglass. The advantages of these boats is that its much easier to angle for saltwater flat fish and they have a poling platform that allows navigation's fish spotting. A casting deck allows the angler to maintain stability and control. This is helpful and makes this boat convenient for fishing.

If you are thinking of buying a fishing boat, do some research, shop around, and talk to fishermen who own boats before deciding on purchasing. If your still undecided talk to a boat fishing guide or the owner of a fishing charter service. They will be more than happy to give you tips on how choosing the ideal boat for you.

If you are a fishing fanatic then it is vital to have all the things you need to make your fishing trip successful. Fishing boats are most certainly the finishing touch to a nice fishing trip.
