Lets Catch And Reel Big Fish

By Daniel Eggertsen Crappie fishing in winter can be a daunting challenge but cheer up there is help. Super crappie fishing really begins after the ice is long gone in the spring but its cold now and we are hungry for that clean white morsel of meat. So you ask how to catch the little guys and how to get that pan fish in your pan and when ice fishing there are only a few key items to consider: bait, location and ice. When it is cold the fish are slower and their hunting patterns change. Do not forget this - EVER. We are not much different, we like our ice cream in the summer and chili in winter. Keep this in mind when fishing in any water temperature. Use fast baits in warmer waters and slower baits in colder waters. When the waters are cooler and sometimes frozen everything below the surface moves slower so when choosing jigs pick ones that move slower, this means lighter weight too as it will not sink so fast. Many of the plastic jigs will move smoothly through the water, this is a g...

Fishing in Ontario is one of the most beautiful places in the world to plan a fishing trip. I know, I've fished in many areas of Ontario and know what I'm saying. Many thousands of lakes in Northern Ontario have not seen a fishermen's bait cast to them. There are many species of fish throughout Ontario. If you plan on traveling through and fishing in Ontario there are some things you need to consider before your trip. You should realize that the costs associated with a trip there is expensive, the Province itself is huge and could cost a lot for travel expenses, accomodations, clothing, licenses and permits, fishing gear, food, water, matches and many other things you'll need. Its a good idea to make a list of all the things you will need to take on your trip. If you know where your going its a good idea to get some topo maps of the area. Maps of Ontario will come in handy as well. Some of the fish species you many encounter are: Northern pike, Largemouth bass, Channel ...

Buying a Boat Tips on Buying a Boat : Seven Tips on What should you look for when investing in watercraft by: Keith Binnersley I discovered sailing many years ago and found it to be a wonderful way to enjoy time with friends and family as well as a way to get away from the office and become totally entranced and absorbed with a world that I did not know existed. I love to sail, so much that I became a certified American Sailing Association Sailing Instructor. It has been 30 years now that I've sailed the Chesapeake Bay, East Coast U.S.A. and the Caribbean Islands and I've been fortunate to have owned a number sailing vessels, currently two Beneteau sail boats. I'm often asked by my students what to look for when making an investment in a sailing vessel. I often share the following seven tips and hope that you too may find some value in them. First carefully examine where you expect to use your boat, long term. Will it be on the Ocean, trans-Ocean, near the shore, in a Bay, ...

Sell Your Boat What You Need To Know Before You Sell Your Boat by: James "Doc" Lewis As the owner/operator of a full service boat detailing- yacht maintenance business I can't help but chuckle sometimes at seeing the extremes that otherwise bright, intelligent, successful, people will go to in a misguided attempt to save a few dollars. One of the biggest mistakes that we see is that people will decide to sell their boat without first having her completely detailed. According to Rob Scanlan, a well known and respected Master Marine Surveyor; "Detailing a boat is the single most important investment of time, energy and money a seller can make because a clean and shiny boat sells faster and for a lot more money. I strongly recommended that a seller enlist professional assistance to do a quality job." yacht1ship@aol.com (Email) http://www.mastermarinesurveyor.com/ (Web site) We at BoatDocs1, do a lot of work here on the Emerald Coast with local yacht brokers and k...

I remember when I would take my trusty fly rod down to a local river and catch smallmouth bass until my arm hurt. The fish weren't real big but they were scrappy. Every once in a while I would hook onto a really good one. It was great! I still catch lots of bass, but mostly using my spinning rod. I would like to head down to the river right after dinner, the fishing would be great by the time the sun set. Poppers seemed to get the most hits. I liked to try and use different flies and bugs, with some success. I still remember those days when those poppers worked when nothing else would. Do you have a story about fishing you'd like to share. Leave a comment. Smallmouth Bass

By Andrew Martinsen Have you ever tried walleye fishing at night ? One of the great things about walleye fishing at night is you are almost always alone on the water, giving you a huge advantage over the other anglers while they sleep. Here are some insider tactics to use next time you decide to give it a go after the sun goes down. Some walleyes will only eat when there are low-light conditions and minimal lake disturbances. This is important, because if the water is calm you’ll have an excellent chance to clean up on the walleyes at night. The walleye species is sensitive to light. However, at the same time the fish is also attracted to bright things, such as the shimmering of a lure that glows or is fluorescent. It is crucial that you understand the mindset of your prey. The walleye has a unique lifestyle with its own distinctive habits and preferences. One of the first things to do when you get on a lake is to look for things that aren’t showing on a lake map. Things such as ro...

By Carlton Holliday Let us continue the discussion about fish locators . We will discuss the interpretation of the images you are seeing on your screen and how to utilize these images to catch fish . Most newer fish locators are operated much like a computer. You have a MENU button through which you can control the various features available on your locator. If you just press the ON button, your locator will start functioning in the AUTO mode. The sensitivity, surface clutter, fish icons and other factory presettings are already programmed into your unit. Read your owners manual to determine what all of the preset settings are for your unit. By doing and familiarizing yourself with these settings, you can turn off the AUTO mode and customize your locator. Turn off the AUTO mode and turn off the FISH ID . They look good but chances are they are only confusing the real picture especially if you are a new user. Let us discuss the transducer. Resolution is the name of the game. The great...
