There is an inscrutability regarding the stripers whether banded or striped Bass, stripers, rockfish, linesiders that induces all catching them. Anybody having seen a gorgeous fish jumping in the fresh water reflecting the sun shine off their silvery sides would admit that. However, catching such fish is all together a different issue anyway.

Most of us have the strong desire to look and feel better. Looking and feeling great is something that many people believe is a luxury that they cannot afford or enjoy. This simply isn't true. Looking and feeling better does not happen by chance. Those people who do look and feel great are that way because they have taken some positive action. What many of us don't know is that the positive actions of looking and feeling better are both easy and simple. If you really want to look and feel great, stop and take inventory of your current situation - after all you don't know which direction to head if you don't know from where you are starting.

Making your own fishing tackle, just as fly tying, can be a very rewarding activity. I actually enjoy making lures and tying flies as much as I do fishing. If you live up North, it's also a great way to stave off the Cabin Blues of deep winter. You won't really save any money, but you can derive deep satisfaction from catching fish on something you hand-crafted yourself. I can't describe the feeling of accomplisment, especially when other anglers come over to look at your creations. If you have it in mind to make lures and sell them on EBay to make money, I hate to disappoint you, but China cranks out millions of inexpensive flies and lures every year, and re-sellers have flooded the internet with...

Over a year ago a friend of mine told me of a new Muskie lure that I just had to get. The lure was a Squirko from Lungen lures. It looked to me like other jerk baits, but I decided to give it a try. On the first try on a Muskie lake in central Minnesota,I have to admit it didn't see much water time. Later in the season I went on a fly in fishing trip in Manitoba. We tried the traditional spinner baits, silver minnows and Daredevils with success, but no trophies. We decided that the bigger northerns were deep. Most of what we had been throwing was not getting seen by the big ones. So I decided to switch gears and take out the Squirko. The lure is a jerk bait about ten inches long with a long twister...

In general the fishing line used for catfish fishing is the last thing that gets attention when discussing what to use for catfishing. The focus is usually on the terminal gear and the rod and reel.

Saltwater flats fishing is a highly specialized form of the sport itself. In many respects it is more like hunting than fishing. Often you are hunting specific fish rather than targeting a species in general. You are looking for the fish and then presenting your offering to them in manner similar to a hunter that stalks prey in the forest or jungle. It is very important that you have the proper equipment to fish in the saltwater flats. You will be fishing water that is anywhere from six inches to three feet deep. A shallow riding boat, like a skiff, is critical for success in these situations. Remember that stealth and the ability to observe your surroundings are vitally important. A raised...

If you have trout fishing rods, you can probably just use those for your bass fishing. About a six weight will easily suffice and get you started, but any fairly light rig will work. If you plan on fishing for lunker, and want to cast some really big flies, try a nine weight. If you are not planning on trying to cast really long distances, a double taper line is a good line choice. Many bass fishermen swear by weight forward lines or a bass tapered line. It really is a matter of personal choice and...

The single most important thing to consider is that the fly line must match the weight on the rod it is to be used on. Due to the many manufactures and wide range of fishing conditions there is an almost endless selection of tapers and variations. Fly lines basically come in level, double, weight forward and shooting tapers. I am sure everyone has their opinion on this matter, as to what is the best overall line. You will have to decide which taper is best suitable for your fishing conditions. Fly lines come in ether a floating or sinking or a combination of the two. Weight Forward -This is by far the most popular line and used by most people that I go fishing with. As the name suggest the weight is...

Flounder are a species of flatfish that are typically found in the Northern Atlantic and in waters that are off the shores of the east coast (in the U.S.). There are actually several different types of species that we often include in the term "flounder."

There are also species of flounder that can be found in waters off the coasts of Europe and Japan. Flounders are traditionally pretty small fish and usually range from 12 to 15 inches in size.

Fishing for tuna can be a challenging, yet rewarding adventure. Tunas are very fast swimmers - some have been clocked moving as fast as 48 miles per hour. In addition, there are several species of tuna that are warm-blooded. Unlike most fish species, which have white flesh, the flesh of the tuna is pink to dark red. This is because tuna muscle tissue contains greater quantities of myoglobin, an oxygen-binding molecule. Tuna has become a popular fish to eat, particularly in canned form. Most of the canned light tuna is skipjack tuna and is relatively inexpensive. Fishing for tuna has long been a popular recreational activity. In the 1930s and the 1940s, bluefin tuna were abundant in the waters...

No team was more successful than the Heat last season, as they ended with a championship under their belt. To repeat their success, however, the Heat will have to dedicate themselves to winning one game at a time once again. There is no doubt that the great strength of the Heat is that they have two superstar players. Shaquille O'Neal has long been one of the best centers in the league. His numbers since joining Miami have been dwindling, and one of the keys to the Heats success may be how productive Shaq can be. After only playing 59 games and averaging 20 points per game, his lowest mark of his long career, O'Neal has a lot of work to do to prove critics wrong about his apparent decline as an...

Fly fishing here in Alberta, Canada is about as good now as it was when my father first took me as a young boy, 35 years ago. My dad was my fishing partner for all of my life, but sadly he got very sick and that was the end of his fishing days. Fishing was never the same after that, as for 2 years I walked the backwoods and cut lines alone, and I caught my share of trout, but something was missing. I finally decided that I would have to find someone to share this experience with me, someone who would enjoy this as much as I did. Over the next two years I fished off and on with 10 different partners and came to the conclusion that I would never find anyone that enjoyed fly fishing as much as I did. I...
