| Fishfinders for ice fishing |
| 2008-12-14 20:41:49 |
The ice fishing season is in full swing again in the northern part of the hemisphere and I get many questions about choosing a fish finder for ice fishing so I thought it was a good time to address the topic.Which type?There are two types of ice fishing fish finders. One is the traditional flasher and the other is the more modern fish finder you will find in most boating situations.The FlasherA simple depth and fish finding device that displays the bottom echo and depth as well as any other echos (hopefully fish) and the depth they are holding.Modern fish finderDepending on the model these type of fish finders show everything, including structure and fish. There have been special ice fishing models released fairly recently which are fantastic and can run all day on a battery.Choosing the r...

| Great fishing holidays |
| 2008-12-12 05:34:30 |
Currently I am on the road and am using one of those fancy wireless internet usb connections to post this for you.I have been on some great fishing holidays, The one where I caught my first tarpon was probably my favorite. My dream fishing destination is probably Fiji or Tonga but I would also like to fish New Zealand for the big trout that live in the many great rivers. I also would like to fish the Midway Islands (maybe I just want to fish everywhere).Basically the point of this little post is that I am wondering what was your favorite fishing hoiday or dream destination? Please leave a comment....

Tarpon are one of the ultimate fishing targets for many anglers and one I have been lucky enough to tangle with on one occasion.

| How to spool linto onto a fishing reel |
| 2008-12-05 00:12:17 |
Yesterday I posted about you to cast a reel, but I git thinking that it isn't much use me explaining that process if the reel hasn't got any line on it yet! Spooling line onto the reel can be quite a frustrating thing for new anglers and sometimes simply attaching the line can seem all too hard.For anyone new to this process (or for those of you looking for a better way) I have found a great video that shows the best methods for getting line onto your fishing reel without any twisting! It demonstrates the best knot to use when attaching line to the reel and the best method of winding the line onto the reel. The guy in the video also explains how much line to put on the reel, which is another thing that new anglers often get wrong.I even learned a few new things myself and it is worth watch...

| How to cast a spinning reel |
| 2008-12-04 00:30:41 |
This blog is now over 250 words and I am yet to write a post about this subject. I can't believe it slipped my mind!The spinning reel, also called an eggbeater reel, is the most popular form of fishing reel available. Most new anglers start with these reels as they are one of the easiest to learn to cast and retrieve. They cast long distances and, with a bit of practice, quite a good level of accuracy. They can be used for almost all forms of fishing.If you are looking to get your child into fishing this is the type of reel you should start with. Even though they are considered a great beginners reel they are equally popular with advanced anglers!How to cast the spinning reel videoThe following video is a good demonstration of how to cast a fishing reel of this type. Remember to practice i...

| Speed Clinch Knot |
| 2008-11-02 20:15:20 |
When you are out on the water or walking along a river it is sometimes an advantage to be able to tie quick knots. You might have lost a fish (and your hook/fly), gotten snagged or simply want to change hook size or fly. In many of these circumstances you will want to tie a knot quickly to get back into the fishing action. However, in the panic of a hot fishing session, quick knot tying can often lead to inferior knots.The speed clinch knot was developed to prevent this problem as it is a fast knot to tie, yet remains a solid fishing knot for most situations. With practice this knot can be tied in less than 20 seconds! Here is an instructional video showing the process....

| Rigging a live shrimp (prawn) for bait fishing |
| 2008-10-31 02:11:26 |
I get many requests from people asking how to rig certain baits for bait fishing, but the most requested bait rigging lesson would have to be hooking live shrimp or prawns.The reason for these requests is probably because live shrimp and prawns are probably one of the best and most versatile baits available to anglers. Where do you find the humans at the all you can eat seafood restaurant? Fighting over the fresh prawns! Fish are a bit the same and at times will ignore almost everything else you present to them. A live bait also kicks and flicks through the water attracting all the fish in the vicinity to investigate what is going on.Now all you have to do is catch the little things, but that is another post for another day.How to hook a live shrimp / prawn?I could tell you, but it is prob...

| The top five reasons I go fishing |
| 2008-10-27 19:44:12 |
This blog now hosts over 250 posts and I thought it was about time I shared some of my favorite things about this great sport. So here it is:Relaxation - Life is stressful these days and it is only getting worse. Fishing is my ultimate relaxation tool. It is sort of hard to stress out sitting on a lake, river, estuary or ocean with nature all around (apart from losing that fish of a lifetime of course!). It is also hard to think about what I need to do tomorrow, which makes this reason number 1!Fun - Lets face it fishing can be frustrating, but that is half the reason we keep returning to it. So the saying goes if fishing was easier more people would take up golf! However, fishing is great fun too!Family and friends - My old man is my best fishing partner and this has brought us closer tog...
