Where to Find the Biggest Large Mouth Bass
The Big Ones, Where to Find Them? People always ask me where I find my trophy Bass. They want to know what I look for, how deep I find them and what it is that makes a particular spot better for big lunker bass than ordinary ones. I've even been followed by other fisherman trying to find out where the big Bass are hiding. The answer to where to find the biggest bass is a surprisingly simple one. To understand this, we will need to learn the basics of social behavior and hierarchies among large mouth bass (and pretty much every other species in the animal kingdom). If you were a male bass, your main objective in life would be to eat as much as you can while avoiding being eaten yourself[..]
Fishing the River For Large Carp
One of the most important points to get right when river fishing for carp is to know exactly where to fish. In other words, location, location, location! You want to locate a good feature somewhere along the river. These can be very similar to those found in lakes and ponds. Places where carp can hold up in piece and quiet are good places to start, especially if there is some kind of coverage. Some features worth looking for are: - reed beds - overhanging trees - flowing water - water outlet or inlets Overhanging trees and reeds can be common along a river so you may need to find those that have further potential to them. As an example, overhanging bushes or trees that are in places[..]
Best Rod and Reel Combo of the 2007 Season
In my opinion the best combo of the '07 season is the Chronarch 100B from Shimano teamed with the Quantum 6'6" medium heavy PT Kevin Van Dam signature series rod. "Now there's a mouth full"! This combination is an excellent match, making it the most memorable from this past season. I have many combos on board in any given outing, but when I put the Chronarch and Quantum combo in my hands it feels right! You never know how good you have it until you try something else! It has something special, a confidence boost, and we all know darn well that confidence plays a major role in success! The Chronarch and Quantum duo is solid! It can take on anything the Bass can dish out! The Quantum PT[..]
The Largemouth Bass
In freshwater lakes, minnows can be seen swimming in quite large numbers. They try to hide in the shallows and reeds, to avoid becoming the next meal of a largemouth bass. Now and again they will venture into the shallows, looking for a juicy insect to feed upon. When the bass gets into the shallows chasing baitfish and insects, this is a real opportunity to use crankbaits and catch yourself a rake of lovely bass. A lovely summers day can be spent this way, and be rewarded for your patience. When bass are right in the shallow water and are on a feeding frenzy, one of the best techniques is to use little crankbaits on top of the water. Whilst the fish are feeding on flying insects, they[..]
Largemouth Bass - Sight Fishing for Spring Success
During the spring, bass fishermen can have a blast fishing in shallow water. Not only can you catch some big bass in water less than 5 feet deep, but you can actually see these fish in the shallows. Two of the most important things that you can do to increase your odds of catching bass while sight fishing is to get a good pair of polarized sunglasses and a good trolling motor. No matter how well you think you can see through the water without glasses, you will see more fish and more importantly, you will spot them faster with polarized sunglasses. Polarized sunglasses help to block the light that is reflected by the light's surface, which allows you to see through the water better.[..]
As the weather gets colder, so does the water temperature. And just like people, fish tend to slow down outside and are not as active. During the summer, fast retrieves of lures like crank baits, rooster tails, top water lures and spinners works because fish like bass and pan fish are actively feeding. But when the weather starts to get cooler, the fish tend to slow down and feed less often. The first phase of fall fishing is to slow down, the second phase is to go smaller. When the weather first starts to get cool and you notice you're not catching as many fish as you once were, the best thing to do is slow down your retrieve. Experiment with different speeds until you start catching[..]
Catching Winter Bass In Shallow Water
Usually when you see an article about fishing for bass in the winter the author always tells you to fish deep water. I am here to tell you just the opposite....fish shallow water in the winter. The lake I fish most of the time is pretty small. The whole lake is 41 acres. Yep, that's not a typo, it's 41 acres. I fish this lake all spring, summer and fall but like to fish it in the winter a few days after a cold front passes and the temperature warms up just a little. Since I fish it all year, I know where the wood in the water is in the shallows and that is the area that I fish. The bass will come up to the edge of the bank in a couple of feet of water to warm themselves up. I like[..]

Alaska salmon trolling is one of four ways to catch salmon. The others are drift gillnetting, set gillnetting, and purse seining. Since none of the gear from any of these methods comes into contact with the seafloor, salmon fishing methods are not destructive to nearby habitats and are one reason why this seafood is considered an ocean-friendly option. Gillnets and purse seines require large nets that trap and tangle fish in mesh and netting, while trolling uses baited hooks. There are two different type of trollers: manual and power. Obviously, most commercial fisheries employ power equipment because the alternative is less efficient. With Alaskan salmon trolling, fishing lines are[..]

The Coolest and Newest Fishing Gears
Who says that fishing is an old fashioned hobby? Think again. It is in fact one of the enjoyable activities during summer seasons. Fishing allows you to enjoy the sun and lets you chill out from the stress of daily routine. This is a favorite hobby for many, and is in fact a well-loved sport for others.

But you are missing a lot if you have not taken time to see the newest fishing gears available these days. Check out these great fishing devices and decide which ones interest you or which gears in your toolbox need updating. Fishing Lures Lures[..]
The Advantages of Trolling Motor
Trolling or angling is a fishing method that uses baited fishing lines. These fishing lines are drawn through the water while being attached to the rear part of a moving boat. To keep this boat moving, some sort of a special motor must be used. It should be the one that creates little noise so as not to disturb the fishes and spoil the whole fishing experience. This is where the trolling motor comes in. What really is a trolling, anyway? This is a small engine affixed to the bow or stern of an angler's boat (a fishing boat can range from two to four person pleasure boat) that provides source of power for slowly trolling a lure or natural bait through water where fish are sought, or to[..]
Ground Baiting For Pike
Locating the fish is an essential skill when fishing. Knowing where they are hiding will let you put your baits in the right place. With pike it can be a good idea to lure the fish closer in by pre-baiting. Many pike anglers like distance techniques for pike. They will use extra strong gear not unlike heavy sea fishing beach rods that can cast big weights up to two hundred yards. Radio control floating craft are even used to take the ground bait to a distant hot spot and dump it there! There is no doubt that this method will catch fish, but it does have the disadvantage of reducing your contact with the fish and your ability to feel or notice a take. Deep hooking a pike down its throat[..]
Sometimes a good down pour is what's needed to turn fish on, and there have been many occasions to prove just that. In my younger years, it didn't bother me, but as I'm getting older the bones can sure feel the dampness afterwards. If dressed appropriately with Gortex rain gear you can reap rewards from Mother Nature's dinner bell! The timing has to be right! With a lengthy consistent weather window it makes for good 'get out there and fish' weather. When there is a quick weather change, like a downpour, it's enough to get the fish aggressively feeding and the action is phenomenal! I remember a particular day fishing for Pike in a reservoir. The bite was not good at all and it made for[..]
Fishing Light Tackle
There's something to be said for landing fish on equipment that's rated for half the size of what your going after. Using a fly fishing blank tied up as a spinning rod is the perfect partner for light line. Fly rod blanks tend to come in longer lengths which is a good thing to consider when using light line. The energy of fish pulling on the line is distributed though out the length of the rod. Here is a way to demonstrate this point. Set the drag on your real to where you think it should be. Grab the line twelve inches above the reel and pull. Make a note of how much tension or force it requires for your drag to engage. Now grab your line several feet after the end of your rod. Try to[..]
If you're looking for a new fishing rod, the choices are almost endless. When you walk into your local tackle or discount store, there are literally hundreds of different rods to choose from. Here's my biggest tip: If you aren't a professional angler, there is no need to spend more than fifty bucks on a fishing rod. I'm of course referring to most freshwater fishing. My favorite rods (that I've had for years) cost me about thirty bucks each. There is no need to break the bank when buying a fishing rod. As a matter of fact, many times you can find better deals on the internet than in retail stores, so go the retail store to actually "feel" the rod, and then write down the name[..]
Fly Fishing For Ladyfish
"Dan!" I yelled and pointing excitedly down the beach "Blitz!" I had just noticed A hundred yards down the beach, past Dan, the water was being whipped to a frenzy of bait and predator. Known as a "blitz" on the east coast, we carry the term with us south of the border. By the time he is able to whip around to where I am pointing I'm already in full sprint, running down the warm wet sand. The frenzy is often short lived and no time is wasted getting to the action. Adrenaline fuels my body, I move surprisingly fast when the fish are feeding! Dan is only 200 feet from all the commotion and first to the action. We are never quite sure what to expect until we get close. Members of the jack[..]
One reason jigs have become so popular is their ease of use. You find a place you want to fish. You determine the depth of the hole your fishing. Then adjust your float to that depth and you are fishing. It is a good idea to use a longer steelhead rod then you may normally. I like rods in the eight to ten foot range. The longer rod allows me to keep the line from my float to my rod tip out of the current and presents a more natural drift. You can use the shorter rods though I use shorter rods in the smaller steams that I fish. They are easier for me to control especially when the bank is grown over with willows and other shrubs. I also like to use a swivel and a lighter leader so if I do[..]
OK so I have been talking a lot about fly fishing lately so I thought I would change subjects and talk about some of the techniques that I use when I am bank fishing. I know a lot of hard core Fly Fisherman will have a fit to hear that I do still use a spinning real for catching fish but I just love fishing of any kind. Taking many of my less experienced friends and some for first time Steelhead fishing I have found a way to get them hooked into a fish without much coaching. This technique is simple to learn and if done properly losing gear is at a minimum. This is great for the first timers or the less experience because it lets them spend more time fishing and less time tying up[..]
When is the Best Time to Steelhead Fish?
We all want to be on the river when steelhead fishing is at its best, however knowing just when this is going to be depends on many factors. The run timing for each river is going to be different, and the best way to get information on a particular section of river is to check with a local sports shop. Owners of these sports shop make a living selling steelhead anglers gear, and they know that if they provide accurate up to-date information they will build trust with the anglers and this trust may just lead to a sale.

If you believe this is going to happen at this time of year I suggest that you just stay home where it's nice and warm, relax, and think about the coming months when the Steelhead fishing here in Idaho really picks up. However if you want to try your luck out on the river you can still catch some nice Steelhead from the end of December through the middle of February, you just need to remember to be persistent. The Steelhead this time of year have moved into the deeper hold pools waiting for the water temperature and condition to change signaling its time to continue their trip to the spawning beds. This time of year requires patience, persistence and a good amount of luck, some fisherman[..]

As we did the final prepping for our journey to Lake Powell, the weather was one of the things we had been keeping an eye on. Cold fronts pushing through the northern part of Colorado were what interested us most. The Denver broadcasters were saying that it would stay north of the I-70 corridor so we thought we were in the clear. The rain we had overnight and into the morning had moved on and it turned out to be a pretty nice afternoon. We loaded up the rest of the coolers into the trailer and did the double check to see if we were forgetting anything. It was now a little before 6pm, one more stop for fuel and a fresh drink for the road and were on our way. As we reached the west side of[..]

Alaska Breeds Salmon in a Sustainable Way
When Alaska first became a state in 1959, it declared its dedication to sustainable fishing practices in its constitution, which mandates that "fish... be utilized, developed and maintained on the sustained yield principle." As such, Alaskan fisheries have been managed with a view toward long-term sustainability for more than five decades. Alaska's fisheries are managed in such a way that protects them against overfishing, pollution and habitat damage. Alaska's sustainable salmon management practices are particularly effective. According to the "Report on the Status of the U.S. Fisheries," an annual study from the National Marine Fisheries Service, none of Alaska's salmon stocks are[..]
Finding the Perfect Fishing Spot - Your Carp...
In order to get great results when carp fishing it's essential to have a deep knowledge and understanding of the necessary conditions. You have to be aware of how carp behave in general, the way in which they will react in different environments and where and when it is best to use your tackle.

Fishing in Cambridgeshire
Most people think of elegant University spires and languorous punts along the River Cam when they think of Cambridge.

Fishfinder Chartplotter Combinations
I have been fishing for as long as I can remember. As a boy growing up near the New River in Virginia I have spent many hours fishing for Redeyes, Small Mouth Bass, Catfish, Carp and just about anything else that swims. I remember the first stockings of Striped Bass in Claytor and Smith Mountain lakes in Virginia. My father use to take my brother and I striper fishing at night on Smith Mountain Lake shortly after stripers were stocked there in the '60s and we would catch 75 to 100 a night on Cordell Spot plugs. This was very exciting for boys 9 to 12 years old even though we could not keep any of these fish as they were all under the 20 inch size limit. In those days the only fishfinders[..]
Use a GPS-Fish Finder Combo to Stay Out of...
It all started on a cold January day out of Oregon Inlet, NC. It was 6 AM and we were heading out of the cut to go and do some world class striper fishing. It was very cold that morning, and the wind was cutting trough us. We were fishing with Stretch 30's off the back of the boat with 4 rods out. Trolling at about 4 knots offshore about 2.5 miles. Thankfully, we had a GPS / fish finder combo to help show the way and the fish. The law in North Carolina states that you cannot catch stripers off the coast more than 3 miles offshore. The GPS / fish finder combo with chart plotter clearly shows the 3 mile line offshore, so that we would not go over it. Anyway, we were fishing about 2.5 miles[..]

Mackerel fishing is always a family favorite. Either jigging or trolling the for them, the family usually gets fed. - Mackerel are fairly powerful mid swimming fish, so a strong rod and line will eliminate disappointment for the children. - Set your rig of feathers with the weight furthest away from the rod, if that is the method you choose.

How To Produce A Great Drum And Bass Track
From its humble beginnings on the london rave scene in the early 90's, when breaks were innocently looped instead of sequenced, and vocals pitched up instead of timestrecthed, to the present day, it has always been at the cutting edge of electronic musical innovation. Much of the scene's early output was characterised by a total disregard for the conventions, techniques and rules of the day (largely because none of the producers knew what they were), while todays producers are among the most skilled, meticulous and innovative there are. But the common thread is a determination to rinse it, and rinse it in even more ingenious ways. As the production bar in drum 'n' bass has been rased on[..]
Nothing slows bass like cold water, after all bass are cold blooded. Bass still have to eat just not as often and being in the right place at the right time will convince you of this and probably keep the boat out of storage during those cold water months. Some argue that bass go days without feeding when the water temps drop but it seems there is always a good bass bite sometime throughout a day of cold water bass fishing. We all know that it takes weeks for the water to warm in the spring and anglers tend to wait for the temps to start rising before dusting off the reels and sharpening hooks but hopefully this article will get you out there a little sooner. One great presentation for[..]
