- Bass Fishing Techniques, Tips & Tricks By : Morgan Hamilton
Since I was a young boy, I've always wanted to learn how to fish. However, I never really had the time to do it. My family lives in the middle of a major city so I didn't have a lot of opportunities to pick up a rod and reel. Anyway, I made up my mind to start doing the things I've always wanted to do, but never quite got around to, now that my kids are off at college and I've got more time to myself. I'm currently looking for some fun and easy ways to learn basic bass fishing techniques. This way I’ll have something to show to my buddies when we go on a camping trip next month.
To be honest, I never actually knew that there would be specific bass fishing techniques to learn. I figured that I just need to bait the hook, cast the line into the water, and sit around until something bit because I have never fished before in my life. I guess that's not the way to do things if you're serious about catching some fish. I realized that I will be able to achieve results by learning some tried and true fishing techniques developed by the pros. I am ready to devote myself to studying bass fishing techniques for the next few weeks because I want to impress my friends by catching a lot of big fish on my very first time out. - Fishing Guides Can Help You Reel In The Big Ones By : Morgan Hamilton
Do you have memories about fishing? Well, I certainly have and I can never forget a particular hot summer day. I think that I was only seven years old at that time. I can remember that I was fumbling around in the boat for a bobber that day. These things are probably my favorite aspect of fishing. After all, I won’t be able to know if a fish was gnawing on the line without them.
The bobber made fishing simple. I knew that a fish is nibbling on my bait if it plunged below the water's surface. Anyway, I managed to find my bobber and I threaded a nice fat night-crawler on that sharp hook, just the way my father had taught me. To be honest, it was kind of gross watching its guts ooze out. - Cast Off On Some Lake Michigan Salmon Fishing By : Morgan Hamilton
If you love to go fishing, then you will certainly love a Lake Michigan salmon fishing trip. You can get in touch with nature and with some salmon through this outing. This great getaway is a dream trip for all serious fishermen. People who love to enjoy the outdoors will be attracted to Lake Michigan salmon fishing. If you go on this trip, then you will definitely have a time to remember and you may find that you want to return year after year. You won’t scratch the surface with just one trip because there are miles and miles of lake to explore.
My husband was able to convince me into taking a trip with him a few years ago, even though I am not much a big fan of fishing. I figured that this would be a great opportunity to see one of the Great Lakes and I do love the water. It turned out that I do not only love water but I also love Lake Michigan salmon fishing as well. However, taking to the process was difficult for me and I was a little apprehensive about the whole thing. I think that fish is wonderful after it has been properly cleaned, cooked and served but the idea of handling a live salmon wasn’t very appealing to me. - Tips For Organizing All Your Fishing Stuff By : Morgan Hamilton
Ever since the beginning of our relationship I knew my husband-to-be enjoyed fishing. However, only after we got married and moved to a duplex I found out he was a true fishing fanatic. He has so many fishing stuffs, much more than any ordinary man keen on fishing. He had special clothes divided in two suitcases and a box. There was one box containing towels and sheets, two other boxes were filled with kitchen supplies and utensils. We had a double garage and one side of it was filled with fishing stuff, while the other was occupied with his boat. Then I fully realized that my husband was a very serious fisherman.
Through the years we got a country home and then moved to the lake house we are currently occupying. Every time we moved the fishing stuff my husband had seemed to be multiplying. Since we live on a lake now there is fishing stuff all around us. Having so many items, we had to think of a system that would organize them and will enable my husband to find what he needed. Apart from that, it would mean I got the house cleaned of fishing stuff. - The Sheer Beauty Of A Coral Reef By : Morgan Hamilton
Let me tell you about the first time I ever came across the splendor of a coral reef. At the time I was going on a trip to Fiji. In fact, it wasn’t exactly a trip to Fiji but actually a prolonged stopover. I was traveling from Auckland to Los Angeles and they offered me a stopover in Fiji only for only $20. I took the chance immediately because I realized that I will never again have the chance to visit Fiji for $20. I had spent six months in rainy New Zealand and I wasn’t prepared for Fiji’s whether. I just couldn’t stop sweating. It was hard for me to adapt to eighty-degree weather and ninety percent humidity.
I was planning to do basically nothing while I was on the Fiji Island. All I dreamt about was to see the coral reef. I was going to stay a couple of days and to be specific four days. For any case, I took my packable hammock and some books. I spent the first night in Nadi. On the next day, I caught a bus and then a boat to one of the far islands. When I got to the island, I was surprised when I found that they had the hammocks already set up for me. - Tips For Finding A Fishing Guide By : Stacey Moore
While fishing can be fun for the whole family, if you are planning-or just dreaming of-a fishing trip, here's a tip: Hiring a fishing guide or charter boat is one of the best ways to ensure that your family will have a great day on the water. These professionals can help you find and catch the fish.
To help you line up a charter boat or fishing guide, takemefishing.org offers several helpful tips: - Fishing Ideas To Withstand A Heat Wave By : Gabriel Adams -
I live in Texas, and during the summer months the heat can be unbearable. I love fishing, but during that time of year, I can not stay out in my boat very long before I am miserable. However I love fishing so much that I usually force myself to go out at least a two or three weekends a month, even though it is very hot outside. Over the past few years I have tried to come up with a few new ways to enjoy the fishing experience without having to go out fishing during the heat of the day. My favorite fishing ideas to withstand a heat wave are playing fishing games and fishing in the dark.
I have a few computer fishing games that I like to play during the summertime, because I can enjoy many of the aspects of fishing without having to get out in the heat. I like to play the realistic bass fishing games that lets you fish real lakes, so that I can plan where I am going to fish when I really visit that particular lake. I also like to try out different lures and dead or live bait to see which species of fish tend to bite on which types of bait. All of these aspects of fishing games allow me to have fun fishing without having to be out in the heat. - Thoughts On Freshwater Vs. Saltwater Fishing By : Gabriel Adams -
I love fishing of any kind, but some people prefer fishing in saltwater and some people prefer fishing in freshwater. Many people feel very strongly about their decision, and sometimes you can elicit the same type of reaction from them as you would if you questioned their religion. Freshwater fishing is usually a more slow paced style of fishing with more waiting in between bites and catching fish. You also may have to work harder to find fish when fishing in freshwater. However I think that fishing off the bank in freshwater is far more productive than fishing from the beach in saltwater. I also really like freshwater fishing, because it is less costly to successfully fish in freshwater. Also lures are more beneficial in the freshwater, so you can save money on buying bait, and also time because you are not having to bait your hook all of the time - Tips For Choosing A Location For A Fishing Vacation By : Gabriel Adams -
If you have the shirt or the bumper sticker that says “I’d rather be fishing!”, then you have probably taken a fishing vacation recently. I have been on many fishing vacations that just did not turn out as I had planned. Sometimes the vacation did not turn out well because of the lodging, sometimes it was the lack of fish, sometimes it was the amount of people at the location, and sometimes it turned out badly because there was a lack of facilities for my boat. For whatever reason your fishing vacation turns out badly, you are always very disappointed, because it might be a while until you can get away again. Here are some tips for choosing a location for a fishing vacation.
1. Check out the lodging available at your fishing vacation spot. Depending on the trip that you are trying to take, you might want anything from a campground by the lake, or a hotel by the ocean. Whatever type lodging you are looking for, make sure the type of lodging you require is available at the location you choose. - Keeping Stocked With Fly Fishing Supply By : Michelle Bery -
As opposed to traditional fishing, fly fishing requires a different skill set and many different tools necessary to have a successful and enjoyable experience. Most importantly, fly fishing, have derived its name from the bait that fly fishermen use, utilizes a number of different synthetic flies in an effort to attract different types of fish. Subsequently, having a number of different flies on hand is imperative to the fly fishing experience. Of course, there are additional items necessary to have on hand as well and a fly fishing supply store can ensure that you have all that you need.
Any fly fisherman will tell you that it is important to have a fully stocked fishing tackle box on hand at all times – in order to have the best experience. A fly fishing supply outlet – either in the traditional bricks and mortar building or through online resources – provides all that an angler needs in order to be successful. - A Fly Fishing Guide Can Help You Plan Your Next Trip By : Michelle Bery -
Fishing has long been a sport of both necessity and hobby, drawing enthusiasts far and wide who love the great outdoors and a chance to test their skill at the edge of a stream or lake – or in the middle of the ocean. Fly fishing in particular has enjoyed tremendous popularity over many generations of fishermen. But because fly fishing differs so greatly from traditional fishing, there are a variety of decisions to make that are normally unnecessary. In this instance, a fly fishing guide can be most helpful in planning out your experience.
Fly fishing has existed in recorded history for nearly 2000 years and gets its name from the fisherman’s use of artificial flies as bait. As opposed to traditional fishing where fishermen use organic bait – live or dead – as bait, fly fishermen use a variety of synthetic material as bait. The types of flies are chosen based on the type of fish that are trying to be attracted; once attached to the hook and line, the fly is cast out to the water using rhythmic movements that replicate the movements of an insect or something that to which the fish would be attracted. During dry fly fishing, the fly is made to “dance” above the water; in wet fly fishing, the fly is actually submerged in order to attract fish beneath the surface. Determining the type of fly fishing that will be done depends solely on the type of fish the fisherman is interested in catching and that is where a fly fishing guide can be most helpful. - Fly Fishing Basics Are The Gateway To Understanding An Ancient Technique By : Michelle Bery -
Everyone knows the basics of fishing. There’s a rod, reel, fishing line, hook, bait; you cast the line, wait for a bite, and reel in your dinner. Experienced fishermen know there is more to it than that, but for most of us that description appropriately sums it up. However, there are many types of fishing, such as salt water and fresh water, and perhaps the most artful of them all, fly fishing. You have probably heard of fly fishing - it has been in recorded history for nearly 2000 years - and you probably know that it does not involve fishing for flies, but if that is all you know then a primer in fly fishing basics can bring you up to speed.
Unlike other forms of fishing, fly fishing does not typically use any kind of organic bait, live or dead. Instead, fly fisherman use artificial flies – ribbon, string, hair, feathers – as a lure to attract fish. The artificial flies are attached to the hook and line, and the fisherman attracts fish with movement that makes the fly look like an insect that is moving on or above the surface of the water. The nature of that artificial bait is the first and most important element to understand when examining fly fishing basics. - The Masochistic Patient - A Case Study By : Sam Vaknin
The Masochistic personality disorder was included in the DSM III-TR but removed from the DSM IV and from its text revision, the DSM IV-TR. This move was criticized by some scholars, notably Theodore Millon. - Some Night Fishing Tips By : Kadence Buchanan -
Experienced fishermen advice that if one wishes to have a good bite it is best to begin fishing two hours before sunrise or after sunset. This is particularly difficult, but an alarm clock can always act as your wake-up call. In addition, it is best if you set up and have ready a wet-bait half an hour before the sun rises. Keep in mind that anchoring or cooking bait need to be completed prior to sunset. That is because cooking during your evening fishing can be very hazardous and because bait has to cool off before it is ready for use. One of the reasons to be ready at least thirty minutes before dark or sunrise is that fish typically feed shallower during this mirror bite time and you can catch them easier as they are only about thirty feet down the sea's surface. Experts point out that the twilight minutes can be very productive for fishermen.
To enjoy good and fast action, regardless if you are fishing in saltwater or freshwater, try to fish around piers that have lights on their end. Since fish are attracted by the beams of light that come through the surface in various sea depths, most fishing excursions have a happy ending when they occur around lights on buoys or piers. - Bass Fishing At Night - An Effective Way To Fish By : Gray Rollins -
The classic image of bass fishing is lazing in a rowboat in the middle of a lake on a sunny afternoon. However, some smart bass enthusiasts have discovered that the best way to get great bass during the summertime months is by fishing in the dead of night. There are a lot of reasons why night fishing for bass is a great idea, so if you haven’t tried evening fishing yet, give it a shot and be prepared to reel in some winners. Summer is the most popular season for fishing, which has both positive and negative aspects for sportsmen. Because bait and equipment are in so much demand during the warmer months of the year, these goods are plentiful and easy to find as retailers stock up in order to get the best bait and tackle to their customers. However, as fishing fans flock to lakes and streams all over the country, all too often the peace and quiet of the sport becomes quite elusive as multiple sportsmen jockey for position on the same water. The summertime crowds can take away a lot of the fun of bass fishing. If you choose to fish at odd times of the night, it is likely that you will never run into the problem of overcrowding. Because only a small percentage of bass fishermen hit the water in the dark, you should have no trouble finding a pond or a lake offering plenty of solitude and a supply of fish that is all yours for the taking.
Another reason why bass fishing at night during the summer can prove to be a kind of fisherman’s jackpot has to do with the habits of the bass themselves. Bass prefer to stay cool, so they tend to head for the deepest waters that they can find during the intense heat of midday and afternoon. The deeper down in the pond the fish are lurking, the more difficult they are to catch and reel in. This can lead to fruitless afternoons of sitting in the sweltering heat and catching very little bass. However, during the cool nighttime hours, the bass come much more readily into shallow waters. This means that they are easier for sportsmen to find and to catch. - Fishing In Homer, Alaska By : Nomad Rick
Alaska is the last great outdoors refuge, which means there is unique hunting and fishing opportunities. Let’s talk about fishing in Homer, Alaska.
It has always been a part of the nature of an American to seek the wilderness. In the early days of our country, the wilderness was usually just over the next hill. It was this drive toward the wilderness that moved our country ever westward. This drive is still alive in us today although the wilderness is not over the next hill anymore. It pulls us still though. If you want to experience it, there is still a place in the United States where it can be found. - Fishing Skiffs By : Nomad Rick
If you are going to head out on the water for a bit of fishing, you need the right equipment. One of the more basic things you will need is to choose among fishing skiffs.
The word skiff has been used over the years to describe a lot of boats that seemingly have no relationship to each other. The word comes from the same root as the word ship, which may be part of the problem. So, what exactly is meant by fishing skiff? One current example of a fishing skiff is a relatively inexpensive, flat bottomed boat with a pointed bow and a flat stern. They are intended for use in shallow inland waters. The original boats of this type were intended to be propelled by oars or poles, but recent models have been designed to accept small outboard motors. - South Florida Light Tackle Fishing By : Nomad Rick
As you might guess, South Florida offers just a few fishing opportunities. Here is an overview on South Florida light tackle fishing.
When many people think of fishing in Florida, they think of either deep sea fishing or bass fishing for a lunker in an inland lake. There is another type of fishing that is drawing fisherman by the thousands to south Florida. It is light tackle fishing on the tidal flats. This is one of the most challenging fishing experiences that can be found anywhere. It is an experience that combines just about everything that makes fishing worthwhile. - Lake Michigan Fishing Charters By : Nomad Rick
Lake Michigan offers excellent fishing for novices and experts alike. The best way to hit it is on one of the many Lake Michigan fishing charters.
Lake Michigan is the only one of the Great Lakes located entirely in the United States. All the others share shoreline with Canada, but Lake Michigan is pure USA. It is the fifth largest freshwater lake in the World and the largest one located in just one country. It is really one body of water with Lake Huron as it connects to it by a narrow strait. It has 1,640 miles of shoreline. The average depth is 279 feet with a maximum depth of 923 feet. - Lake Huron Fishing By : Nomad Rick
There are lakes you can fish on and then there is Lake Huron. Lake Huron fishing is some of the best in both the states and the world.
Here are some facts on Lake Huron. It is the 2nd largest of the Great Lakes of North America. This makes it the 3rd largest fresh water lake in the world. It spans 23,010 square miles, which makes it about the size of West Virginia. There are 3,827 miles of shoreline. The length of the lake is 206 miles and it is 183 miles wide. The average depth is 195 feet and the maximum depth is 750 feet. Like the other Great Lakes, melting glacial ice formed it. - Identifying Bamboo Fishing Rods By : Nomad Rick
If you are going to fish, your rod is critical. Bamboo rods are unique and excellent. Of course, identifying bamboo fishing rods is another issue.
In today’s world, the fishing rod is constructed from a variety of composite materials such as graphite. Chemistry has given us materials to make light weight, but very tough rods that can stand up to just about anything an angry and desperate fish can throw at it. In the past, however, before we had the benefit of science, the bamboo fishing rod was the mainstay for the serious angler. The bamboo rod was most often a fly fishing rod, but many casting rods were also made. - Bahamas Fishing Vacation By : Nomad Rick
The weather is turning warm, which means a fishing trip is in order. A Bahamas fishing vacation is a blast for you and the family.
The Islands of the Bahamas have been associated with travel and vacation in the American mindset for many years now. It is an independent and English speaking country that consists of over 2000 small islands and keys located in the Atlantic Ocean east of the United States and north of Cuba. The mention of the name Bahamas usually conjures up images of sun drenched beaches where bikini clad women stroll over pure white sands while crystal clear or brilliant blue water laps on the shore in gentle waves. - Hudson River - Striped Bass Fishing By : Nomad Rick
It wasn’t that long ago that the idea of fishing the Hudson River was laughable. Now, striped bass fishing on the Hudson is definitely a go.
The stripped bass is an ocean going fish that comes into coastal rivers to spawn. Each spring, large schools of this hard fighting game fish head up the Hudson River in New York turning that river into one of the most exciting game fisheries in the United States. From the Tappan Zee Bridge outside of New York City up river into the heart of the state, the fish move toward spawning grounds feeding on shad and herring. It is their schooling and heavy feeding tendencies during their spawning run that makes them both an easy and a challenging fish to pursue. - Aruba Fishing By : Nomad Rick
There is local fishing and then there is something a bit more exotic. In this case, we are talking about Aruba fishing.
If you can imagine the world of fishing as a straight line, sitting on the banks of a small farm pond with a cane pole and a bobber might represent one end. On the other end it could possible be finding yourself strapped into a seat on the back of an Aruba fishing charter trying to reel in a 70 pound marlin. Deep sea fishing is the ultimate test of the fisherman as he battles the true monsters of the deep. - Lake Hubbard Fishing Resort By : Nomad Rick
The weather is warming up, which means it is time for some fishing. If Michigan is your destination, you can’t do worse than the Lake Hubbard Fishing Resort.
Tucked up in the Northeastern part of Michigan is an 8,800 acre lake called Lake Hubbard. The lake is the 2nd largest inland lake in the State and is a poplar destination for both vacationers and serious fishermen. The lake was important in the early history of Michigan as military outposts along its shores were used during the Indian wars in the area. In recent years, several full service resorts have been built in the area. These resorts offer all the amenities from restaurants to golf course, but it is still the natural lure of the cold and scenic waters of the lake that make a Lake Hubbard Fishing Resort a nirvana for an angler. - Fly Fishing In Yellowstone By : Nomad Rick
Despite the media frenzy about Yellowstone being a super volcano, it is still one of the truly beautiful places in the world. Oh, I should probably mention the fly fishing is good as well.
As you probably know, Yellowstone National Park has a basic philosophy that underlies everything. The animals and park take precedent over everything. That includes you and me. As a result, you can’t just walk up to a body of water and start casting. Nope, there are all kinds of rules and regulations about open season, open and closed areas and so on. The lakes in Yellowstone are not stocked, so the rangers are very particular about people following the rules. - Fly Fishing On The Snake River By : Nomad Rick
If you are a fly fishing enthusiast, you are always looking for that perfect trip. The Snake River offers plenty of spots you will find simply incredible.
The Snake River runs over 1,000 miles and is the main tributary to the Columbia River. It originates near the continental divide in Yellowstone Park in Wyoming and runs down into Idaho. The river is simply beautiful on its own right, but is also known for two odd things. Evil Knievel attempted to jump it [and failed] and Lewis and Clark were the first to explore the river. - The Mojo On Bamboo Fly Rods By : Nomad Rick
The first time you venture into the wilderness of fly fishing, you are going to notice something strange. The fly rods are much different than other forms of fishing.
The most popular and traditional fly rods are made from bamboo. History is a little dodgy on when the first one was made, but the early 1800s seems to be the time range generally agreed upon. Of course, it was once generally agreed that the Earth was flat and we know how that one turned out. - A Primer On Fly Fishing Reels By : Nomad Rick
If you are getting into fly fishing, it is easy to lose yourself in the great debate on rods and flies. Not so fast. The reel is just as important, so here is a primer.
The fly fishing reel is a work of art. In fact, the first one was patented in 1874 by the epic master of fly fishing – Charles Orvis. His family has been making fly fishing equipment in one form or another since them. As technology has improved dramatically, reels have also become more sophisticated. That being said, they still are comprised of some fairly basic components. - Quick Guide To Flies Used For Fly Fishing By : Nomad Rick
Fly fishing is a niche area for the overall sport of fishing. Unlike niches in other sports, it is very unique when compared to the more popular angling.
The mere name of fly fishing suggests something very different. No, it doesn’t have anything to do with elevating yourself. Instead, the “fly” in the name refers to the thing used to tempt the fish to strike. While hooks and bait are important in all forms of fishing, the nature of flies for fly fishing has taken on a life of its own. For beginners, it can be downright intimidating, so here is a quick primer. - Fly Fishing – Stay Away From The Light! By : Nomad Rick

Fly Fishing Journals - Colorado Fly Fishing – Bait Huckin' Vs. Fly Fishin' By : Nomad Rick
It was one of those fishing trips. You know, everyone catches fish but you, you loose six or eight of your most expensive streamers, it rains buckets, and you sink the boat. That’s right; I got skunked at Steamboat Lake over Memorial weekend.
I was determined to show those meat huckers (worms and power bait) that a well chosen and strategically placed fly was as effective as anything a conventional fisherman could load on a hook and hang under a bobber. Well, no such luck, I got stomped. - Fly Fishing Rods – Getting The Bends By : Nomad Rick
Picking a fly fishing rod is a tricky endeavor. Do you go with your ego, expected fishing environment or something else? While length is a factor, the bend or action of the rod is a key factor.
Flexibility - Brief Overview Of Saltwater Fly Fishing Reels By : dave (Author)
While saltwater fly fishing is all about getting good casts and the excitement of the fight, one of your most important purchases behind the rod, is the reel used in this exciting sport. Most reels used in this "extreme" fishing are single action reels and for good reason as their counterparts (Multiplier reels) aren't quite up to par. Multiplier reels are quite a bit more expensive and has many more moving parts. As anyone similar with fly fishing or saltwater can't tell you, the more moving parts something has the more trouble one can expect.
In single action reels, you have the choice between direct drive and anti-reverse reels. There difference is how the reel goes about releasing line from the spool. In the sport of fly fishing the most popular all-round is direct drive, where the handle spins backwards when line is released. This makes it easy for fly fisherman to tell how much line is going out and how much there retrieving but keep in mind most fly fisherman aren't trying to reel in line from a bonefish swimming at 20 mph which makes that spinning handle dangerous for your fingers, hands or anything else it could come in contact with. This is where anti-reverse reels come in for the rescue. The handle on an anti-reverse reel stays stationary as line is striped away from the reel. For lighter species the direct drive is a good choice. But for larger species both options have there pluses and minuses, because when the drag is set lightly on anti-reverse reels, they have a tendency to slip when reeling the line in. - Take A Fly Fishing Vacation In Antigua By : Gregg Hall
