Snag Proof Frogs - Baits That Catch Big Bass!
It was the late 1950s and Harry Ehlers, an avid fisherman and advertising executive at Solo Marx (better known as Totes, makers of rubber rain boots) observed a boot mold being dipped into plastic. He had the idea to create a fishing lure using the same method. As with many fishing lure businesses, Snag Proof started over the kitchen stove. Mr. Ehlers combined his knowledge gleaned from working at Totes Rubber Company with his love for fishing and created a soft, hollow-bodied frog lure for catching big bass from weedy farm ponds.Encouraged by fellow outdoorsmen at Solo Marx, Harry began working at night developing the lure and a machine that could produce a number of lures at once. Advertising in...

Baits Used in Freshwater Fishing
Probably the most universal of all natural baits is the worm. The more easily obtained common garden worm is a good standby for the big, pencil thick variety found in shady gullies between hills along sub-tropical rain forests. They can also be found in marshy, fertile river flats. The more active the worm, the better it presents to the fish. Worms are also bred as commercial ventures for anglers and these days, also for composting and environmental destruction of waste matter. One of the best methods to harvest worms is to lay a hessian bag in a shady spot, keep it permanently damp and place vegetable peelings underneath it.Another recommended bait is the grub. Many anglers swear that the...

The ULTIMATE Bait Guide
After location bait and it's correct presentation is the most important factor governing success or failure. No matter how expensive your tackle is, if the fish won't bite you go home empty. Freshwater fish can go several months without eating, most marine fish can not, indeed many marine fish will die if not fed several times a day( a big problem for aquarists rather than anglers). Fish will eat a wide range of prey as cutting open the stomach will show but these are not always the best baits to use. Remember your bait is not the only piece of food in the water, the secret of angling is to make the fish ignore everything else and take your bait instead.Fish are not stupid, they want as much food as...

How to Play Like George Winston
George Winston is the poster boy for New Age piano. There's no denying this. And why not? The man practically put New Age piano on the map with his CD December. So poignant, so sad and filled with joy is this music, that it resonated with millions across the world.Many years ago, I read an article where George describes what he does on the piano. He said something like; "I get my left hand down. It's like the band and has the bass and chords. Then the right hand is free to do its thing."Now, George Winston didn't invent this technique, but he put it to good use in creating unique atmospheres for piano.

Phishing With Dynamite
If you were born before 1960, you may remember a strange phenomenon that was once used by some people to shortcut the process of catching fish. Instead of using a fishing pole and waiting patiently for a fish to swim by and take the bait, they would take a boat out into the lake with several sticks of dynamite in hand.A quick setup and a toss of one of those sticks of dynamite into the lake resulted in an underwater explosion - either killing or stunning all of the fish in the general area of the explosion. Once dead or stunned, the fish floated to the surface and the so-called fishermen could scoop them up with a net and fill their boat with the catch of the day.Now outlawed and much more...
Buying fishing equipment
How to Coldwater fish are starter fish to consider, since coldwater fish are easier than other fish to keep. Coldwater fish are resilient and can adapt better than other fish to waters. Still, cold water fish like any other breathing creature demands oxygen. If the water is dirty, the oxygen supply will diminish. Since, fish produce natural wastes, which include ammonia build up, the waters will pollute easy. The oxygen is reduced when ammonia build up occurs. With this in mind, you want to add filtration systems and plants to your take. Plants produce oxygen, and help to remove waste. Filters will perform the same actions, yet through synthetic methods.

Live Shrimp Under A Popping Cork: You Can Never Go Wrong
One of the best tried and proven ways to fill a boat full of keeper trout and redfish is using a live shrimp under a popping cork. I prefer to use a treble hook, leaving about 18-24 inches of line between the hook and the popping cork, depending on the depth of water the fish are in. If I am fishing a shallow reef, then I shorten the length of line between the cork and the hook to prevent hang-ups, but if I am working birds, I want the shrimp to work a little deeper so I lengthen the line.Working reefs with live shrimp under a popping cork is the way to go as opposed to using artificial lures. You can catch both redfish and trout with the same set up instead of having to change lure types and...

Fishing Pole
