When it comes to fishing for smallmouth bass the presentation of your bait or lure is the key to success. In this article I'm going to discuss some of the simple reasons why this is the case.

Its summer time and there is a very obvious interest in discount fishing gear. It's really no surprise that with the recession people are looking for deals. I think it's great that people aren't giving up something they love just because money is tight. The great thing is there are great deals to be found on eBay and what's even greater is if you use eBay discount codes the deals get even better.

Think about the various items you purchase on a daily basis, groceries at the grocery store, jewelry at the jewelry store, clothing at a clothing store, and shoes at a shoe store. You know that if you visit a retail store you can find jewelry, clothing, and shoes, but the quality is often not the same, as well as the selection will certainly be less. The same goes for fishing stores. Now, you will need to know what type of fishing you want to do such as fly-fishing, bass fishing, or catfish fishing. The reason is that each type of fishing will need different equipment. Consider going deep-sea fishing for a marlin, do you really think you can catch a marlin with the same fishing pole and bail used to...

If you are planning to buy a pair of shoes where will you head, of course to a shoe store. How about for milk you will not go to a bank would you, rather you go to a grocery.

So you are about to start fishing. First things first, you need to bait your hook. Do you know the correct way to bait you hook? Below are some tips that will help you attract and catch more fish by simply baiting your hook better. Firstly, you need to use sharp hooks. Buy new hooks frequently and replace your old ones. If you keep your hook on the line for a long period of time you should sand the point to keep it nice and sharp.

Hooks vary in size, shape and color so go for the hook that is best for the fish you are targeting. If you're not sure, ask the people in your local...

Today more people are fishing for fun than they are for food. This has led to an increase in catch and release fishing. Here are a few fishing tips you can keep in mind if you are not going to keep the fish you catch. One important point to keep in mind is that just because you release a fish does not mean it will live. Many people are not doing catch and release fishing correctly. When you hook a fish in its mouth it is more likely to survive than a fish with a hole in its lung. If you hook a fish in the gut the best thing you can do is cut the hook and release it. They can live with a rusty hook in them or they may spit it out or the hook will dissolve. You do not want to pull a hook out or you...

The Still Sleeping Fishing Village of Jurubida Dawn broke about 5:30 am. For the first time in days, there wasn't pounding rain, unusual for the Choco, one of the wettest regions in the world. Instead, a lazy pink glow began growing in the eastern sky above the rainforest behind the still sleeping fishing village of Jurubida on Colombia's Pacific coast. Almost all the fishermen had long since braved the waves of the incoming tide and headed out into the arms of the Pacific Ocean. Sometimes fishermen like Heriberto*, never come back, locked in the sea's embrace forever. His wife still waits to this day for news that will likely never come. The sea doesn't like to give up its secrets, you see. Gliding...

Given the 30%-plus rise in the S&P 500 since March 9th, 2009, income investors might be hard-pressed to find high dividend stocks whose prices haven't gotten ahead of themselves.

Moderate Dividend Payout Ratio - Below 50 % (The S&P's current payout ratio is approximately 59 %). 3. Less Than 40 % Above 52-Week Low 4. Options Available This preliminary screen yielded several companies, from 4 different sectors: Consumer Goods, Industrials, Basic Materials, and Financials.

So many are asking is it time to start buying the beaten down bank stocks. The Dow Jones Wilshire Banking index is down approx 20% YTD. Some bank stocks are trading at or near book value. One can easily say drooling valuations. On top of that we had had a nice rally last week. Even the Abu Dhabi sovereign govt fund came in with an investment in Citi similar to Prince Alaweed in the early 1990s banking crisis. So why not join the fun and make some money? However is ones memory to short to forget the Sept market rally which did not sustain? No one has a crystal ball and anything can happen. In past crises as well in many Bear Markets (which we are not in yet) issues are not resolved within weeks as...

When the market is a bit funky, it is obvious that the last thing you want to do is release bad news, but the rules are the rules and when someone announces they have missed earnings or revenues the punishment is quick and severe. But its usually overdone! For instance is it right to cut a stock in half when the worst thing they said is that sales were off by 10%? More times than not the market overreacts to everything and this can be a great buying opportunity for you. If you see enough charts for enough years it is quite clear that the initial reaction to a bad news report is often overdone and the stock pops back a bit on a rebound. This is called a "dead cat bounce" in market language. But...

Every self-respecting sport fisherman knows chumming is one extremely effective method of 'calling' fish. Tossing overboard at a regular rate likely fish food such as cut-up fishes, canned corn, or any other ingredient palatable to the fishes you are after, will draw them to the source, your boat or place of fishing. But ordinary chumming is not effective when you are bottom fishing reefs, for example, since the current will take your chum too far away to benefit you. The only way is to chum the bottom where your hooks are. You do this by making a chum bomb. In Australia they call chum 'Berley' or 'Burley' and they use a sort of bomb, which is a split-tube container for the chum that you let down to...

There is nothing worse than being on the lake catching a ton of fish and being cold. To that end, today's ice fishing clothing has come a long way. Gone are the days of the cotton long johns, big bulky jackets, old school wool socks and gloves that get wet and make your hands numb. Today's clothing is all about warmth without sacrificing agility and mobility. Base layers in the past mostly consisted of cotton based long johns. These were great while dry, but the minute you exerted yourself drilling a hole or even walking a few yards that was the end of dry long johns. From there the perspiration would freeze due to the cold weather and you had the formula for an uncomfortable day on the ice. Today...

One of the best ways that I know to fish for trout is with live worms, or as Hank Hill referred to them, "the good old American worm". Worms have always been a favorite bait for trout fishing, and when rigged properly, a worm can be an extremely effective bait. In this article, I'm going to explain the best way that I've ever come across for rigging and fishing with live worms. The first thing to keep in mind is that trout have very sensitive eyesight and are normally found in cold clear water. This means that the lighter the better, as far as your fishing line is concerned. Trout fishing with worms should always be done with light line. I've seen all too many anglers employing fishing line...

It should be a no brainer that fly fishing requires specialized clothing such as waders, a fishing vest, rain gear, underwear, polarized sunglasses, gloves, and a hat. Hip or chest waders are an essential part of the wardrobe of a fly fisherman. When choosing waders most people will choose chest waders which come in two styles, boot waders and stocking foot waders. Most fly fishermen seem to prefer the stocking foot type which are made of neoprene rubber. Another thing that every fly fisherman needs is a fly fishing vest with lots of pockets. Why the need for all the pockets? This is to keep all of the fly fishing items that the fisherman needs to have for fishing. Anyone who has ever waded to fish...

Fishing for bass is, in itself, a pleasurable experience for any who have tried it. For those who have an adventurous nature, however, peacock bass fishing Venezuela style can raise the bass fishing bar just a bit higher.

Peacocks are brightly colored, and can be decorated with speckles, stripes or whirls of brilliant oranges, yellows and greens. The name "peacock" itself comes from its round "eye" spot, located on the tail fin with a ring of...
