Once you have decided to pursue a hobby of fishing you must do some research into the techniques of fishing and the equipment that is available in the market. To begin with you must determine which kind of fishing rod is best suited for your needs. There are basically two types of fishing rods among the many available to choose form. These are the detachable rod and the single piece fishing rod. In the beginning the fishing rods were made from single bamboo or cane pieces that rarely exceeded 12 feet. The more popular fishing rods were 6 feet to 9 feet long. The 12 foot fishing rod facilitated fishermen to reach way out over the water from the side of the lake or river. Shorter rods required one to...
One of the more difficult things to do in the world of fishing is to catch trophy trout. This is especially true when you're referring to non-planted fish. When you're talking about trout that have been planted by the government, you are dealing with a different animal (in my opinion). These trout are raised in a quasi-aquarium and then planted in water where anglers fish. These are not the trophy trout that I'm referring to. I'm referring to trout that have been living in the water that they're caught for an extended period of time. These trout grow at the normal growth rate and are much more difficult to catch. These are the trophy trout that I'm referring to in this article. In this article I'm...

If you want to know how to catch fish with live worms, this article is for you. These simple tips and tricks will make you a much more effective live worm angler. Almost all of my worm fishing experience has taken place in rivers and streams, mostly because of the fact that I love fishing in flowing water.

Many of these...
Do you quietly inspect the margins when you arrive at a carp fishing lake? You might want to if you want to improve your catch rate. Fishing for carp in the margins can be extremely productive if you find the right places and apply good angling tactics. I find it amazing just how many carp fishermen ignore the margins when fishing. They see all that water out in front of them and believe the fish must be out there. I often see carp anglers using three rods with all of them cast out to the horizon. With so many anglers casting out far it makes the margins a safe place for carp to hang out. In fact, the margins can even be the best places to target the bigger carp. As long as you're quiet when setting...
What's the difference in fishing line? There are basically three types of fishing line, monofilament, fluorocarbon, and braided. However, with all this new technology, they are coming out with new lines that are harder to classify. But for the most part, they fall in one of these three categories. And each type of line has its own characteristics. Knowing these characteristics will help you choose the right line. Monofilament-- This line is softer than the other two, which makes it more manageable. It does retain water which makes it more likely to float. Mono line is not that durable. So, if your fishing around a lot of cover or anything that would be rubbing your line, mono might not be the best...

Shark Fishing - A Beloved Recreation Gone Bigger
Shark fishing typically falls into the sport fishing category. There are competitions held specifically for catching these huge fish. There are not many commercial fishermen that fish for shark. This type of fishing can take place off a pier, off a boat or from the shore. It is entirely up to the fisherman which way to go about it. The size and type of shark that is being fished really determines where the fishing will take place from. This is really a physical sport and requires upper body strength to wrestle them out of the water, a shark will dive to the deepest part of the ocean that it can reach and often time will wind up snapping the line that it was hooked by or snapping the rod that was...
The Treasure of Japanese Glass Floats Along...
One of the most sought treasures along the west coast waters are glass floats. Discovering a rare color, a different shape or one perfectly intact excites many a beachcomber or treasure hunter. Seaweed, driftwood, seashells and even agates are a dime a dozen when compared to finding a glass float. Glass floats were used by the Norwegians as far back as 1840. They began by using fishing floats that were the size of an egg, tied to their fishing lines. Glass was used because it was economical and could be found in abundance. The buoyancy also was an attractive draw as the use of nets became much more popular. The use of these floats soon swept across Europe and many fisherman began placing their...

You put many fishing lines in the lake, each offering something a bit different. You might use...

The very first fishing line was probably a length of some plant fiber an aborigine man used to catch fish. And possibly without hook to boot: just a gob of bait yanked to the shore when the fish grabbed it. But the lines used by resourceful boys trying their luck in rivers, creeks and shallow water are more likely lengths of sewing thread, unraveled knitting or tied-together horsetail. Whatever it was, it served as the magical connection between a young imagination and a grandfather's tale, or hunger and some food on the table. Depends on whether the angler was fishing for food or enjoyment. In any fishing with hook and line, the line is the most important item inasmuch as it is the 'umbilical cord...

Is The Porbeagle Shark's Conservation Status...
The Porbeagle shark is a specimen that can reach impressive dimensions and has even worried a few people during a few encounters. According to ISAF (International Shark Attack File) statistics, which range from 1580 up to 2006, it has been responsible for 4 shark attacks, mostly on divers, of which none were fatal. Despite those facts, an important question has been haunting the Canadian Federal Fisheries recently: Is the Porbeagle shark's conservation status worsening?

How To Use Worms As Bait When Fishing
I realize that many anglers may be thinking that they already know how to use worms as bait when fishing, but my contention is that simply "threading" a live worm onto a hook and calling it fishing bait simply isn't right. We, as anglers, should respect the fish we are attempting to catch more than this. When live worms are traditionally used as bait, and are "threaded" onto a hook, they end up looking like some sort of worm ball, and this is just wrong on many levels. The most important thing that's wrong with the "threading" technique is that the bait ends up looking very little like what a live worm looks like in nature, and as I said, ends up looking like a worm ball. And when is the last...
As herbivores, they feed on vegetation such as turtle grass, manatee grass, shoal grass, mangrove leaves, and various strains of algae for an average of six to eight hours a day. However, there are times manatees feed on red algae, which is a toxic form of algae. Approximately 3,200 are in existence today, yet the number is decreasing significantly every year, even though federal and state laws have been established for their protection. Manatees have become endangered species from natural causes, American tourism, chemical pollution, water activities, motorized boats, and sports, entanglement in fishing lines, as well as the fishing industry. The destruction of habitat is the greatest threat...
