Attract Fish

The walleye are probably best known for their large eyes that allow them to see very well even when it's dark and the sharp teeth located in their jaws and the roof of their mouth. They are a nocturnal species of fish so the best results usually come with night fishing but this doesn't mean this is the only time you can catch walleye. You can get some really good results on overcast days as well. The walleye are normally a dark yellow to green color with a white underside. They are equipped with two sets of dorsal fins, one of which has spines and the other has approximately twenty soft rays. They can also grow to some fairly decent sizes. The walleye is a native fish to Lake Ontario in New York and...

Hello to all the fisher people out there. This is going to be my first article in a great number that I will be coming out within the next few months.

Tinca Tinca or Tench as it is more commonly known is by far one of my favorite species of fish. They are hard fighting and pound for pound the strongest of still water fish and surpassed only by the illusive Barbel where they can be found on rivers. As Tench feed off the grubs on the weed and bottom, as they do so they release air trapped within the lake bed and weed which can often be seen during the spring and summer months as a fizzing on the surface of the water. This is a sure sign that the Tench are on the move after the inactivity of the winter months and are feeding. So if you are lucky enough to have Tench in the waters close to you, how do you go about enticing this wily fish into sampling...

Catching more big carp is much easier when you know some very stimulating details about bait components, how fish sense your baits, how to manipulate fish physiology to make fish want to eat our baits more and more! Many of the questions anglers ask about baits and fishing are pretty irrelevant compared to some of the most important which are so often over-looked because the angler is so conditioned to thinking like a commercially-manipulated angler instead of thinking like a fish - which is far superior of course; so read on and find out more! When your thinking about baits choices and how to manipulate fish senses and behaviours in our favour against them begins with the fish themselves you have...

* The importance and bait significance of ‘First Limiting’ Amino Acids! * There are about 25 amino acids found in proteins, but the most important to carp are the ‘essential amino acids’ for carp. These are not made in the carp’s body, and must be consumed in the diet. Carp are always deficient in one amino acid more than any other, and this definitely drives their dietary feeding behaviour and bait preferences. Mixing whole food ingredients, like milk protein derivatives and fish meals together in your bait counteracts the carp’s main amino acid deficiency! Doing this makes your bait extremely desirable. In my research, the most common ‘essential amino acids’ in individual carp...

There are many simple ways to generate more bites in fishing. There are many complex methods too, but what matters is what gives you personally the most satisfaction in your fishing. We all want to improve our catches with the least time and effort. Or do we? You may wonder why I ask this question and the answer is this. Most often it’s the guy who puts in the most effort that reaps the greatest rewards, but this just reflects a great deal of our activities in life. Often in the case of fishing, it’s not necessarily what you know, but how you create ways to use what is ‘common knowledge’ to solve our fishing challenges, by using innovative applications to fit a specific purpose...

cl When you think about it there are many reasons why carp love shrimps – they are natural food for a start but how can you exploit shrimp in ways to present incredibly irresistible levels of naturally concentrated attraction in your homemade and readymade baits - to catch loads more fish?! Read on to find out much more! When I got into carp baits much more around 1980 shrimp meal was a very popular ingredient. It seems that many people had not figured out the link with krill, or lobster or abalone etc for that matter, but shrimp was all the rage and was used in fish meal based baits mainly. But most of the carp anglers I spoke to about this either had no clue why shrimp was effective or had...

It is always possible to get more bites when the going is tough but it usually takes a little extra thought. In winter and spring especially you need to be more adaptive in your approach so here are some personally proven tips that will really help you this year big-time! Many anglers use such a standard approach to their fishing and perhaps the average carp angler always has which is why his is precisely that i.e. an average angler!

Just how many writers actually know anything about the different stages of feeding stimulation...

Fish over forty pounds and more are caught on worm baits of various kinds; so to exploit something a little different read on now and reap big rewards! I caught my first ever carp around 1975 - on a worm for bait. Things in my carp fishing have changed very much since that time but worm baits of various kinds just keep catching. Being in horticulture it has been easy to get hold of enough worms to make homemade boilies and ground baits based on them. I have over the decades confirmed that some worms and worm products are far superior to others! Unfortunately due to rising costs, the lobworm extracts often available today are synthetically-based and so are missing all those stimulatory amino acids in...

There are several proven artificial lures one can use to catch Smallmouth Bass. The key concept you need to remember is that Smallmouth Bass live and feed towards the bottom. Top running baits like spinnerbaits or poppers will not be effective. In my opinion the crankbait is the most effective lure for Smallmouth Bass. They key thing to remember is choosing the correct crankbait. For this artificial lure to work effectively it needs to have a retrieve depth at or near the bottom of the area you are fishing. Optimally the bait will occasionally bounce off the bottom while retrieved. When you buy a crankbait you will notice that they are generally classified as shallow runners or deep runners...

When it comes to fishing, few kinds match the fun and excitements of fishing in canoe, and for this you will need canoe outriggers. An outrigger, pure and simple, is utilized to make sure the boat is stable out on the water. It does so by adding weight o the boat so that it takes away the danger of capsizing, and this is particularly useful in rapids or rougher waters.

When I first began fishing for Striped Bass one of the annual rituals we had was greeting the first arrivals of the spring run at our favorite early season spot. We would start making the effort sometime late in March during the milder years and by mid-April if winter had been slow to give in. In either case those early season outings were never very warm, with the water temperature usually hovering just below fifty degrees and the most favorable condition for catching fish being a southwest breeze over it. Some days it was like ice fishing minus the ice. Our method consisted of casting lead-head jigs, often tipped with grub tails. We used small stuff, mostly less than one-half ounce, and would...

Why not ask yourself how you can stimulate fish senses more in order to excite a more favourable instant and long-term response to your bait? This can be easier to achieve than you might currently think... For those that have not seen fish react to a ‘spod’ (or bait carrying devise’ being cast into the water, this has to be seen to be believed. Fish will actually feed on baits on the way down; often the bigger fish will monopolise this baiting-up ‘dinner bell’ effect. This way, they can get all the free ‘safe food without a hook’ they want by gobbling it up as it falls through the top and middle water layers. Few anglers I’ve spoken to appear to realise this...

Ancient cave paintings from 10,000 years ago depict fishing along with fish bone remains and animal bone hooks. Even ancient stone anchors are currently being displayed in museums.

The ancient Greeks used rods and woven baskets and woven cages that stay under water where caught fish are kept alive until they are needed...

Fishing has been a great hobby, mainly for habitants in North Carolina and the peoples who live near it just love bass fishing. This idea will be definitely useful for crank bait fisherman: when using the Norman Speed clips, usage of clip locks it is advisable to take off the factory slip ring, by doing the clip so, it goes straight to the bait and keeps it under action, because of it the trouble is lesser in the line fouling.
