| Choosing the right fly line - tackle tips |
| 2008-02-16 09:03:00 |
For new fly fishers choosing the right equipment can be a daunting task.Matching the rod and line weight is a key feature of a balanced fly fishing system and the foundation of good casting. Casting power comes from the relationship of line to rod. When you pick up the line from the water, the line "loads" the rod by adding enough weight to flex it fully. Then, with a properly timed cast, the flexed rod straightens out, driving the line foreword.Line taperTo help you cast more efficiently most fly lines are tapered. This taper varies in weight, diameter and thickness over the length of the line.There are five main types of taper, each to meet a specific purposeWeight-forward (WF) taperThese are the most popular and the best choice if you are a beginnerThe first 30 feet or so of line is hea...

| Fishing Report for 1-4 |
| 2008-01-31 18:18:00 |
OFFSHOREAction for grouper has been scattered in the Gulf. Reports of keeper gags coming from southwest of Egmont Key in 80-feet of water for red grouper were noted, but gags were caught just north of the Ship’s Channel, north of Egmont as well in water half that depth. Water temperatures have been moderate with little extremes, holding in the low 60’s, and for grouper, that will help keep them from running to the deeper water to hang.The bait situation has gotten more difficult for guys looking for some Spanish sardines, threadfin herring, or whitebait. Pinfish have been about the most consistently available live bait. Frozen cigar minnow, squid, octopus, threadfins, and sardines should be in the cooler for a day’s trip.

| All about tides |
| 2008-01-19 19:27:00 |
Understanding the tides helps you know when to fish. Just like people, fish have active periods and rest periods. Unlike people, fish's actives are determined by the tides. The tide tells the fish when to be on the move for food and when to rest. Because fish don't have eyelids, they cannot close their eyes to rest. Instead, most species remain inactive during certain tides. Tides are up-and-down movements of the oceans caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun on the Earth. As the tide rises and falls, water flows in and out of bays, feeding behavior in fish. Whereas tidal changes have little effect far offshore and are of no concern to anglers who venture there in boats, tides are of the utmost importance when fishing inshore waters. In most locations, the tide chang...

OFFSHORECapt. Jack Ryan out of CB Saltwater Outfitters on Siesta Key scored some nice mangrove snapper action this week while working water depths between 45 and 50-feet fishing out of Big Sarasota Pass. Ryan credited the heavy chumming he did for the gag grouper to 26-inches, red grouper, scamp, and numerous mangrove snapper. Live shrimp and pinfish were his baits of choice, freelined off the transom. Moving to the Barracuda Hole off Sarasota, Ryan reported catching a few kingfish and more snapper.West of Pinellas, 60-foot depths were holding white grunts, grouper, snapper, and triggerfish. Capt. Dave Zalewski of the Lucky Too out of Madeira Beach targets triggers with a “snapper rig”, consisting of two 2/0 or smalle...

| Getting Started with fly fishing |
| 2008-01-12 10:21:00 |
Fly fishing is a fishing technique that has been used for a very long time. In a nutshell fly fishing uses an artificial lure that looks like a real insect to lure the fish to bite. The success with this method of fishing has made fly fishing extremely popular in fishing circles and is ideal for you if you are just starting to fish.Your artificial fly floats on top of the water, mimicking the movement of a real bug, waiting for the fish to bite. Artificial flies come in many shapes and sizes. Dragonflies, grasshoppers, mayfly and stonefly are very popular. The flies look lifelike and can easily fool fish and most people. An alternative to the insect type is to use a lure that resembles eggs. Real eggs rise to the surface to hatch. The artificial eggs lure...

| 5 tips for Success |
| 2008-01-10 17:41:00 |
5 Tips for Success“5 Tips for Success” is an article on how to improve your technique and knowledge on saltwater fishing.1. I hear too many people saying “Whenever you get a bite, automatically jerk it up, to get it hooked.” I can’t stress enough that is not true. When you get a bite, just wait ‘till you get some tension then jerk up. I say this because, the fish could be biting on the other side, where the hook isn’t, then all you’re doing is scaring your catch away. And if you get some tension and you miss it, don’t reel it in all the way, because the fish might still be interested in your bait. So this proves that fishing does take patience.2. Is Free lining good or is it bad? So many people have asked ...

Most of the time you can spot these fish before you catch them.Deep Sea fishing tipNext time anybody goes out deep sea fishing do this it works. Take a coke can and cut a strip out about 1/2 in wide and 4 inches long pop a hole in it and have the deckhands slip it on your line and then tie your hook.

| Fishing Log |
| 2007-12-28 07:19:00 |
Keeping a fishing log is like putting a giant jigsaw puzzle together. One piece of the puzzle doesn’t give much to go on. Fishing is not an exact science, but the more information you have at hand, based on past experience, the better equipped you are to consistently find fish that are feeding. Anglers can learn much from logging their catch data and other pertinent information about their fishing trips. Useful information might include, but not be limited to barometric pressure-- steady, high-rising, low- falling, etc., tide levels in feet and tenths of feet, plus tide direction, i.e., incoming, changing, out-going, etc., moon phases, wind direction and velocity, cloud cover, i.e., overcast, cloudy, sunny, etc., fish caught and where, on what time of t...

| Winter Solstice |
| 2007-12-21 19:23:00 |
Winter strike zones shrink as water temperatures drop. The colder the water for most species, the smaller the strike zone, making it even more important for an “in your face” presentation. Baitfish continually swim, with brief periods of stopping. The problem with most baitfish imitations is that they only look natural when they’re moving. As soon as they’re stopped, they sink to the bottom and lay on their sides…not so with a shrimp. In nature, shrimp sit on the bottom, bury in the mud or grass, and basically do nothing. They’re not swimming most the time like most baitfish, but do drift with the current. Artificial shrimp, like those from DOA Lures can mimic this crustacean to the letter. This bait can stay in the strike zone as long as desir...

| Hooks Part 5 |
| 2007-12-19 16:08:00 |
Buying, Handling, and Sharpening HooksHooks are sold in bulk packages of from 10 to a hundred hooks or more, or in packages of 4 to 6 snelled hooks. Leave the hooks in the package until you need them, to keep them safe and neat and to keep the points from becoming dull. Packages of snelled hooks fit nicely in a tackle box. Keep them there, and don't let them get in a tangled mess. The quality of a fishhook can be determined by its finish. Inexpensive hooks have a 'blued' finish and are made from carbon steel. They are used primarily for freshwater fishing and should be avoided for use on saltwater. Saltwater fishing requires materials with greater resistance to corrosion, such as nickel- or bronze-plated alloys or stainless steel. These cost slightly more than carbon steel hooks, but not t...

| Hooks Part 4 |
| 2007-12-19 15:56:00 |
Shank CharacteristicsJ hooks are manufactured with short or long shanks. Long-shank hooks are used for sharp-toothed fish, such as bluefish and mackerel, allowing the fish to bite the shank and not the leader. They are also used for fish that suck in their food, such as winter flounder. The long shank makes removing the hook easier. A long-shank hook provides room for the bait to be placed along the shank, which makes for better presentation of the bait and in most cases ensures that the bait will not fall off. A worm or fish can be stretched out along the whole length of the shank, looking much more natural than if it were curled around the bend of the hook. Short-shank hooks are used with smaller pieces of cut bait or shrimp, because the hook can be more effectively hidden within the b...

| Hooks Part 3 |
| 2007-12-15 20:48:00 |
Sorry for the lateness for the post. Well here it is hope you enjoy!!If you're accustomed to J hooks, using circle hooks involves some adjustment. Instead of setting the hook by sharply pulling back on the rod, apply steady pressure on the line, bringing it in evenly and slowly. Avoid jerking the rod to prevent pulling the hook from the fish's mouth. Packaged snelled hooks have monofilament or wire leader attached. The strength of the leader can range from 3o-to-80 pound test and above, and leader length varies considerably. The leader has a loop at the end opposite the hook, making tying on quick and easy. Snelled hooks are available in J and C hooks. Some anglers snell their own hooks, buying their hooks in bulk, and the leader material separately. Although snelling a hook takes a lit...

| Hooks Part 2 |
| 2007-12-12 18:44:00 |
Hook SizeFishhook size is designated numerically. Below a certain size, the lager the number, the small the hook. A number 10 hook, therefore, is smaller than a number 4 hook of the same style. Hooks larger than the number 1 use a different system, however. A number followed by a slash and a zero indicates a large hook, and the numbers increase with the hook size. Thus, a number 5/0 hook is lager than a 2/0 hook, which is larger than a number 10 hook. The thickness of the hook in any given size should also be considered. A thin hook will penetrate more easily than a thick hook. If you're having trouble setting the hook, chances are that the hook is too thick for the targeted species, so use a thinner hook of the same size.Hook DesignsThere are 3 basic hook designs: conventional J hooks...

| Hooks part 1. |
| 2007-12-10 17:23:00 |
When you're fishing on salt water, you never know what species of fish you may encounter. You might be fishing for Fluke and get a bluefish. If you have a decent assortment of hooks in your tackle box, it's a small mater to change your terminal rig to "accommodate" the bluefish. Hooks are chosen according to the size and species of fish targeted the type of bait used, and the method of fishing. There is no formula for selecting the right hook because there are many variables, including the size of the fish's mouth, its strength as a swimmer, its method of fighting, and the way it goes about grabbing bait. But as a rule of thumb, the larger the fish, the larger the hook. Most anglers do just fine with a few hooks of different sizes that are appropriate to the most common species of fish in ...

| Chumming Part 2 |
| 2007-12-06 19:14:00 |
How To ChumChum pots are available in many sizes. Most have lead ends so the pot will sink quickly and large-mesh screened sides to allow the chum to pass through easily. After Chum is placed in the pot, strong but lightweight line is attached to the eyelet, the pot is lowered to the desired depth, and the line is secured to a cleat on the boat or a piling on a pier. Mesh bags are messier to use but work just as effectively. Some anglers place several sinkers in the bottom of the bag to keep it upright when it's hanging in the water column or resting on the bottom. To keep fish within a close radius of a boat, some anglers use 2 pots or bags-one at the stern and one at the bow.Shake the chum pot at intervals, or bounce it on the bottom to loosen the contents and allow them to flow freely. ...

| Controlled Depth |
| 2007-12-06 18:56:00 |
Controlled depth fishing with lures is a method of getting baits at the same level fish are holding. Because the water column can be a very broad range, fishing somewhere in between the top and bottom might require special equipment. Downriggers are the most precise tools to lower baits to a given level. Planers, depending on the size and line diameter used to pull them, will also take baits below the surface within a certain depth range for each size planer. Covering the water column with a variety of lures fished at different depths is a sure way to locate fish. It gives you the opportunity to present your lures to more fish. That will ultimately help you catch more fish....

| Chumming Part 1 |
| 2007-12-05 17:30:00 |
Chum is ground-up fish or fish entrails and other delightful morsels that are deposited into the water to release a scent that attracts most fish. Chum is the consistency of chunky soup and moves easily with the current. It can be used when fishing with live or dead natural bait, flies, or artificial lures at almost any depth. It's most often used when fishing from a stationary location, such as an anchored boat or pier, but you can chum from a drifting boat. For certain species of fish, chumming is essential to success. Chum is placed in a chum pot or mesh bag (like an onion bag), which is lowered over the side of the boat to any depth or directly on the bottom. The chum particles seep through the holes in the pot of the bag and are dispersed by the current, creating an oily, smelly slic...

| Leader. Why it's important. |
| 2007-12-03 19:18:00 |
A leader is a length of monofilament of fluorocarbon line or flexible wire positioned between the main line and hook or lure. A leader can serve 2 purposes: prevent line-shy fish from seeing the more visible main line, and prevent sharp-toothed fish from biting the line in 2. Monofilament leaders are usually between 1 and 3 feel long; most wire leaders range from 6 to 24 inches. Monofilament and fluorocarbon leaders usually have a greater pound-test rating than the main line. A swivel should be used between the leader and the main line to keep the main line from twisting. Because of its transparency, fluorocarbon leader is best for particularly line-shy fish, such as albacore and bonito. Black flexible wire leader is also almost invisible and is eff...

| How to use a plug |
| 2007-12-02 06:20:00 |
I just was asked how to use a plug and thought might as well put it on here also.How to use a plugThe size of the lure you use is determined by the size and shape of the baitfish in the area. The size of the lure often determines the size of the fish you catch. If you're using a 3-inch plug and you're catching average-size fish, use the next larger size of the same style of lure to tempt larger predator fish lurking nearby. Always keep the plug moving, and make it look like a struggling or injured baitfish doing its best to get away from the predator you're after. Vary the retrieval speed from one cast to the next, and even during a single retrieve. Some anglers apply a frequent, quick, stop-and-go reeling technique in addition to short or long jerks of the rod tip to vary the lure's per...

| 56 Fishing Tips Part 4 |
| 2007-11-29 18:54:00 |
When Fishing...35.) Always wait and extra second, or until you feel a lot of pressure, before reeling in.36.) When trying to free a line that is hung up on the bottom, don't attempt to pull the line with your hand. Instead, wrap the line around the outside of the reel or around the real seat of the rod at least 3 times, then yank. You will either pull the line free from the bottom or break the line, but at least you'll prevent injuring your fingers or hand.37.) To prevent slack line above the water from developing into a "belly" under windy conditions, keep the tip of the rod low and pointed toward the water. This will let you feel a strike more readily.38.) If a fish manages to foul the line on structure, slacken the line and wait until the fish swims ou...

Bait And Chum25.) Use ground-up bunker for chum; it also makes excellent bait if sliced. You can cut it or use it whole for striped bass, bluefish, or other predator fish.26.) Keep live saltwater baitfish away from fresh water to keep them alive--DUH27.) When fishing for large predator fish, don't overlook whole live natural sandworms or bloodworms. They are productive throughout the fishing season28.) To find the predators that chase baitfish, check the protected areas of inlets and jetties where baitfish seek shelter from storms and wait until the surf calms down.29.) Use whole squid or squid cut into small strips; squid is among the best baits to use for predator fish.30.) Use chum whenever you're fishing for bottom-dwelling fish.31.) When fishing with...

Tackle Tips12.)Always use tackle and line that are good condition to avoid failure. Discard or repair worn gear.13.)Use circle hooks whenever possible for ease of hook-up and removal. Fish seldom get these types of hooks caught in their throat.14.)Keep a hook honing stone in your tackle box to dress up the point of the hook, and a piece of oiled emery cloth to remove rust deposits from equipment.15.)Choose the lightest leader practical for the method of fishing. A heavy leader is visible to fish (and might spook them) and will affect the action of the lure or baited hook.16.)Use light leader to tie your sinker to the rig when bottom fishing. If the sinker gets hung up, the leader will break and you won't lose the entire rig...

Rod And Reel1.) When purchasing a rod, look for one with lots of line guides. The more guides, the better the rod will perform.2.) Never purchase a fishing rod that is not comfortable to hold. Check the Feel with a suitable reel in place.3.) Conventional small-diameter line guides are good for bottom fishing or trolling with up to 40- or 50- pound test line. For heavier trolling, the entire rod should be equipped with roller guides.4.) Conventional bait-casting reels are best suited for bottom fishing, for drifting natural bait in the current, or for trolling.5.) Lubricate new fishing reels to ensure that no critical areas were overlooked at the factory. Use lightweight fishing reel grease sparingly at least once a year.6.) When you are finished for the d...

| Clearer waters. Bad or Good? |
| 2007-11-22 18:18:00 |
Cooler water temperatures means less algae in the bays, which in turn means much clearer water. On calm days sight fishing is at its best, and worst. Your ability to see fish is only matched by their ability to see you as well. Extra long casts are necessary to put baits far enough from you and the boat so fish are unaware of your presence. While many monofilaments and braided lines are visible, the use of Fluorocarbon leaders makes the connection between you and your bait invisible. While a “normal” length leader might be a couple of feet long, increasing the length of your leader to 4 or 5 feet will give you an added measure of stealth. Unwary fish are more likely to bite, and longer casts, longer leaders, and the use of a good fluorocarbon material, such as Hi-Seas will give you the...

| Rod Performance |
| 2007-11-21 18:59:00 |
Rod LengthLonger rods cast farther than shorter ones, but shorter ones are easier to transport and store. Longer rods are able of exerting greater leverage, but you will have to be strong enough to appply that leverage. You may find that you can exert more power with a shorter fishing rod.Rod ActionAction refers to a rod's flexibility. Rod action is broken down into 4 categories: extra fast, fast, moderate or medium, and slow. Look at the picture I have attached and you should be able to understand this better.In general, saltwater fishing rods should have moderate to extra-fast action-for greater sensitivity and because their greater overall stiffness allows you to move the fish around more effectively. Slow-action rods may be used when fishing from docks for pan-sized fish such as snapp...
