Getting To Know The In Depth Of Your Fishing Gear

By Seth Steel


Everybody knows that fishing is the task of capturing fish. Methods consist of gathering by hand, netting, trapping, spearing and angling. The term is likewise ascribed to catching cephalopods (squid, octopuses, etc.), mollusks (clams, oysters, etc.), crustaceans (crabs, lobsters, etc.) and echinoderms (sea urchins, starfish, etc.).

Unless you gather your catch by hand and take it home in your arms, you will need some sort of fishing gear. Some people might think of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn fishing on the Mississippi River in the 1800s. Back then people made their gear from items they find throughout the house. They might also buy a spool of line, a hook and a sinker from the general store for only a dime.

Today you can find a large variety of fishing gear available using the latest technology. Lightweight rods made from graphite or even a fiberglass/graphite composite are really easy to work with and are appropriate for beginners. Glow-in-the-dark lures seem like fun, but they also can actually be extremely helpful in murky water.

Fishing rods date back to ancient Egypt and other old civilizations. They were commonly made of Tonkin bamboo, Calcutta reed, ash or lancewood. During the 1600s experiments led to the development of modern rods and reels. Izaak Walton, a British fisherman described fishing and tackle in his classic book, The Complete Angler published in 1653.

Besides the rod, standard fishing gear and hunting clothing includes fishing line, hooks, sinkers and bobbers. Fishing line may be made of Dacron, cotton or monofilament. Some folks have even used dental floss or kite string. Fishing line parameters include material, length and weight. Keep in mind that fish can see thicker lines a lot better than thinner ones. Other factors to consider include UV resistance, breaking strength, stretch and abrasion resistance.

When you're in the back woods other gear you may need include a camp fire stove, eureka tents, and don't forget the hooks. Experts advise that novice anglers use hook size 6 or 8 since these work for many types of fish. A little cork from a bottle of wine or even the classic white and red float or bobber can tell you when a fish strikes. The name portrays the action -- the bobber bobs up and down. Finally a sinker or weight lowers the bait to the level of the fish.

Deep sea fishing gear is a little different compared to that used for freshwater fishing. The rod is larger and thicker and is also tough to break. A long rod can get your cast farther out into the water. A short rod gives you more power to pull the fish out of the depths. The reels to go with the rod can be complicated so beginners should choose a simple reel to start.

A deep sea fishing harness that have a cup to insert the butt of the rod can help pull in heavy fish using your entire body weight instead of just your arms. The harness Quint wore in the movie Jaws is a good example. Lures and baits are a matter of personal preference. Ask locals what works best in their waters.

Items All Hunters Should Have

By Fabian Douglas


If you are a hunter, then it is imperative that you have all the items that you need with you at all times. What many beginner hunters don't realize is that they should not only carry things in their bags but also in their pocket as well. The reason for this is to make sure that if for some reason you lose your bag, then you will still have some of the necessary items there with you.

Now, in order to be a good and safe hunter you will need to have certain things with you at all times and I want to explain what those things are. Just know that these are the basic things that every hunter should have and if you don't have them, then you need to get them as soon as possible.

Things Every Hunter Should Carry

Knife - If you don't have a decent knife, then it is imperative that you get one right now. The reason I recommend having a good knife is because a skilled hunter can literally survive with just that knife and nothing else. When you are hunting a lot of things will require the use of a knife and if you don't have one, then it will be almost impossible to do some of the basic hunting tasks.

Flashlight - One of the things that a lot of hunters don't do is carry a flashlight in their pocket at all times. What I recommend is that you get a pocket flashlight so that if you ever lose your bag or your other flashlights don't work, then you will have that one. Having an extra flashlight is always a good thing to have being that they can run out of batteries very easily. Another reason why I recommend a pocket flashlight is because they are lightweight and still pack a punch.

Matches - If you don't carry around matches, then you need to do so and in my opinion you need waterproof matches as well. When you are out hunting for a few days or so, you will need a fire to do many things and matches will make this possible. Trust me, without matches you will have a tough time hunting.

Before you head out on a hunting trip I recommend that you check to make sure that you have everything you need, not only that but triple check if you have to. I highly recommend triple checking to make sure you have everything because you don't want to leave home with something very important. Trust me, having the necessary items for a proper hunting trip is very beneficial to both your hunting experience and your possible survival.

Uncover Polarized Sunglasses: A Style For Everyone

By Lydia Greyson


Very large, over sized sunglasses have been popular with women, and some men since popularized by President Kennedy's first lady and are still called "Jackie O's." In addition to the style aspect, the increased size offers additional protection. A variation of this style is Dior White sunglasses. Small round lens sunglasses are known by many names. Tea Shades, Granny Glasses, or John Lennon Glasses remain popular.

Trademark wear by several music and movie stars continues. They more style than function. Wayfarer sunglasses refer a style of lens that is trapezoidal with a larger top to the lens than bottom. The original style was with black frames popularized by James Dean. They now can be obtained in many colors.

The end result is that light from glare is absorbed, or transmitted away from eyes, but normal light is allowed to pass through to be seen. An improved K Polaroid sheet is available which is more resistant to heat and moisture but retains the basic Polaroid principle. In history, other attempts have been made to eliminate glare. The Inuit Alaskan Indians made glasses out of the flat portions of walrus bone with a thin slit cut horizontally.

Ancient Chinese wore lenses of flat smoky quartz to minimize glare. Nero, the Roman emperor wore emerald lens glasses at the forum. Modern inexpensive sunglasses were initially produced and sold on the beach at Atlantic City in 1929. Polaroid sunglasses were made available in 1936. Today, Polaroid sunglasses are worn by a variety of people, either for comfort in daily work environments, pleasure or style.

Any time spent in proximity to a body of water is benefited from wearing polarized sunglasses. Because the water surface is a major reflecting surface, the amount of glare generated from reflected light can be uncomfortable and harmful to the eyes. This can cause long term damage and should be avoided. Not to mention it can definitely cause problems in your skill level.

Finding Large Stripers and Trolling for Striped Bass

By Captain Ryan John Collins


As soon as I've made certain I have remembered to bring my fishing equipment and bait, it's time to splash the Miss Loretta (my boat) and begin trolling for striped bass.

Locating a productive spot to troll for striped bass with the tube and worm is among the most difficult and vitally important aspects of tube and worm trolling. The top gear, most effective tubes and juiciest sandworms won't catch even one striper if there are no striped bass in the region you are fishing. For that reason it is important to build a strategy for finding prosperous areas, before setting the lines and trolling for striped bass.

Complete publications are actually authored concerning how to find striped bass. There is no question that moon phases, tides, weather patterns etc. all possess some sort of influence on exactly where stripers go. The fact is that, where I go fishing in Cape Cod Bay, inspite of my best attempts, I have by no means been able to adequately predict where the bass will be based on any type of variable. Certain tides and weather conditions make it more likely that bass will show up in certain areas. However finding fish is often a "best guess" proposition.



Consider what occurred to me earlier this week as an example. As I write this article, it's the middle of the summer and we now have had a full week of continual east breezes. This past Saturday the breeze died to the point that it was dead calm. We went out on the water, found fish in 23 ft of water inside Cape Cod Bay, and remained with them while they swam right up to the beach front. We were able to have a excellent day trolling for striped bass, as we landed more than 25 big striped bass up to as much as 42 pounds.

Two days afterwards an identical weather pattern developed. An onshore breeze died down as night approached. The weather was literally identical to the terrific excursion we had earlier in the week. Moon phases and tides were spot on, and I had high desires for a repeat of the earlier fishing excursion. We found bass inside the very same spot in 19 ft of water right off a well-liked swimming beach. However the fish disappeared, and didn't venture in shallow. I searched all over for three hours-all the while not marking a thing.



My point is that often despite the finest plan, log book, and technology, I'm often completely "bam-boozled" when it comes to trolling for striped bass. The moment I think I have the bass figured out, they pitch me on a loop and bring me down again to Earth. However it is possible to at least improve your chances of finding the striped bass biomass.

Fortunately we can improve our odds of finding bass by using a reliable search strategy. Using a dependable, correctly mounted, colour sonar device is undoubtedly an absolute must for the search strategy that I typically utilize. Typically there won't be any surface signs (breaking stripers, diving birds etc.) leading me towards bass, therefore I was required to develop a technique making use of my electronics that helped me to find the stripers that I knew were out there, someplace, in Cape Cod Bay.

I also needed a plan that could let me cover vast expanses of the Bay rapidly, thus it is crucial that my fish-finder read well at speeds of more than twenty knots.

Keeping all of this in mind, it is very doable to formulate a technique that should regularly give you a fantastic likelihood at finding stripers. With a stable game plan, you might not always find the fish, but you will certainly place yourself in an excellent position for creating an enjoyable fishing trip.

Be sure to check out more in-depth search strategy techniques at the striped bass fishing blog-myfishingcapecod.com.

Changes in Striper Behavior and their Influence on Striped Bass Fishing Techniques

By Captain Ryan John Collins


Striped bass behaviour is still a mystifying issue for me personally, and for the majority of serious fishermen. Just after you think you have the fish understood, striped bass do something unexpected, and leave anglers totally confused. Being able to match a specific striped bass fishing technique to the behavior of the fish is one of the best ways to continually find and catch big stripers. Unfortunately successfully accomplishing this is much easier said than done.

I'm certain a large number of different factors influence alterations in bass behavior. Investigating these types of elements is well past the breadth of this article, and is possibly best left to marine biologists. The important thing for all of us striper junkies is to be able to realize when a change in striped bass behavior has occurred, and how to quickly modify our striped bass fishing techniques so we will be able to continue finding and hooking large striped bass.

Often times a sunrise or sunset will result in a shift in striped bass behavior. From what I've experienced over the years, striped bass will frequently go deeper or shallower as soon as the sky begins to darken or begins to brighten again. Bass will often switch from resting to an active state after a sunrise or sunset. What this means for all of us anglers is that whatever striped bass you have found (or not found) may considerably switch their habits right after these 2 celestial occurrences. If you wish to continue on catching (or begin catching) bass, then modify your search strategy and striped bass fishing techniques as required.



Bass will regularly transition from schooling behavior to shoaling behavior, and straight back to schooling again throughout the course of a day or night. For those who find a massive, football field size school of bass, but then suddenly lose track of the bass, a shift in behavior may have taken place. Individual stripers from the giant school might now be shoaling in the region. After the sun sets or rises yet again, there is a reasonable chance that the stripers will assemble back into schooling configuration.

Tidal changes also influence striped bass behaviour. However for yours truly, it's a lot more complicated to illustrate exactly how. The critical thing to not forget is that a tide change can spark the bite, or turn it off. Tidal changes can also cause bass to move out of a once productive location, and into what was at one time desolate zone. Often times after a sunrise or sunset, I find myself spending extra time searching out new areas for signs of life.



How all these factors influence bass behavior will probably remain a mystery for years to come. In spite of the many question marks, having a knowledge that certain events will result in a shift in striper behavior, will certainly help you adjust your striped bass fishing techniques in a way that will result in more and bigger striped bass hitting the deck of your boat.

Cape Cod Canal Night Striped Bass Fishing Secrets

By Captain Ryan Collins


Fishing the Cape Cod Canal at night is a wonderful and sometimes downright eerie undertaking. There's certainly no absence of interesting characters, creatures and odd noises down at the rip-rap after dark. Even so, if you are looking to substantially improve your odds of reeling in an immense striped bass from shore, then heading to the Cape Cod Canal during nighttime could indeed be for you.

The night fishing on the Canal starts to crank out big fish with the arrival of the very first keeper-size striped bass. Generally by Memorial Day substantial striped bass have settled into the Canal-this is when the night time fishing actually begins to start up. At this point of the season, after dark outings can be a hit or miss proposition as significant packs of striped bass migrate inside the Canal right through into Cape Cod Bay. Put differently, you might hook big fish one night and then fail to entice a single take the following night. Once the next push of big striped bass moves in via Buzzard's Bay, the big bass start showing up again inside the Canal.



By the end of June and early July the evening chew changes and becomes much more consistent. The majority of the bass have settled firmly into their summer time haunts, which usually makes Cape Cod Canal fishing a tad less hit or miss. It is highly feasible to land big fish any night of the week, considering you can zone in on the most productive fishing spots. Certain rips and holes will consistently hold striped bass throughout the night time tides.

Cruising up and down the bike path, on the lookout for busting striped bass is needless to say out of the equation. A knowledge of the most productive locations and tides is more essential when angling after dark than when fishing in the daylight.

The majority of significant bass caught during the night are taken out of holes, rips and close to bits of structure. Targeting these spots will dramatically increase your likelihood of hooking into a keeper sized striped bass. On the other hand, fishing areas devoid of structure, holes and rips will reduce your odds of bagging respectable striped bass.

Presenting jigs directly on the bottom in these spots, or swimming a lure or eel through a rip is a simple means to attracting a nice striped bass. Nevertheless some of the biggest bass ever captured in the Canal have been hooked on a piece of bait fished on the Canal's bottom during a night time slack tide.



Depending on what the fish decide to do, fall at the Canal could very well be either exceptional or disappointing. If a biomass of bass opts to swim through the Cape Cod Canal on their travels south, then the fishing at the Canal will be exceptional. But if the primary body of fish decides to travel around the arm of Cape Cod on their southbound trek, then Cape Cod Canal fishermen will be out of luck. The fishing this past fall was rather disappointing due to the fact that most of the bass did not travel back through the Canal.

Nonetheless even during slow years fishing the Cape Cod Canal at night during September and October can result in substantial striped bass. As always, focusing on fishing the best Cape Cod Canal fishing spots during the right tide is the most crucial component for Cape Cod Canal striped bass fishing success. You just never know unless you go!

The Secrets of Trolling for Striped Bass in the Dark

By Captain Ryan Collins


There are several significant differences in relation to trolling for striped bass during the night compared to trolling for striped bass through the day. Remember that what's listed below are solely generalities-there are usually many exclusions to these "rules." However understanding how bass typically act during the night will most certainly help you catch more and bigger stripers while trolling for striped bass.

Typically, I've found that bass stay closer to the surface at night. During the night I find myself trolling three colors in areas in which I troll 6 colors through the day. Even if the striped bass aren't hunting, they seem to stick closer to the surface after it gets dark. Noticing striped bass from 10-20 ft deep is much more common in the evening rather than marking striped bass at 25-40 ft .-at least inside the regions I normally fish. I'd consider it be rather uncommon to find stripers holding deep after dark in Cape Cod Bay.



I've realized that the bulk of the striper population inside a particular region proceeds inside the same general direction through the entire course of an evening. During the past year it was not uncommon for us to find several schools of striped bass inside twenty five ft . of water right before the sun set. When it became darker, these schools of bass slowly and gradually trudged offshore. By 11PM most of the striped bass nearby could be located holding in 60-70 feet of h2o. These fish would likely spend the remainder of the overnight residing in deeper water in a somewhat sedentary condition, then gradually trudge once again in the direction of shore when the sun rose. These bass proved very hard to catch when they were holding offshore. However when in transit, they proved much easier to entice. Either way being able to stay with the bulk of the striped bass biomass throughout the course of a trip will most certainly increase your success rate.

Of course this sequence of actions can transform swiftly and become completely different. Under certain weather conditions the routine can be played out in reverse. One example is this past autumn, when the wind blew hard onshore, the bass would push up tight to the beachfront in just ten feet of water as nighttime evolved-as opposed to trudging out to deep water. Then the following evening, once the breeze altered, the bass would go back to their past habits. For the course of an entire month, when the wind blew onshore the bass would also push up closer to the beach. Often times it is easier to find and catch stripers when they are holding in very shallow water.



How bass act inside the areas you fish may differ appreciably compared to ways that stripers respond where I fish. The critical idea to recognize is that it is often feasible to map out a pattern of striper behavior in your area that can assist you in finding and remaining with massive schools of fish as the evening continues. Best of luck in your night trolling endeavors!

Anyone Curious About Bass Fishing Should Definitely Read This

By Lucius Crispo


In the United States, for those who like to fish, bass fishing is one of the most popular styles of fishing. Most anglers prefer trying for largemouth bass, although other types like the smallmouth and white bass can also make for good sport. If you are new to bass fishing or planning a fishing trip soon, the information in the following article can be helpful.

You can catch bass using many types of bait, and you can try different varieties and find out which get you the best results. Bass feed mainly on crawfish and worms, so lures that have the appearance of these creatures are often used to catch them. Using plastic worms is probably the easiest kind of bait to use when you are a beginner to bass fishing.

A main food source for bass is the crawfish, so a popular way to catch bass is to use a crankbait lure because it looks like the crawfish. A lure with spinning metal blades called spinnerbait is another popular kind of lure for bass fishing. The bass will think prey is nearby when using this lure because the motion imitations the movement of small fish.

A light and durable rod made of graphite is probably your best choice. When it comes to choosing a reel, the best one for you would probably be an open faced spinning reel because it is easier to manage. The reel should be able to hold a lot of fishing line, at least 150 feet. Lastly, the type of fishing line you choose is important as well, and monofilament line with low visibility is a good choice.

While largemouth bass are the most popular variety among anglers, another variety you may want to try your hand at is white bass, which are also called sandies. When these fish swim upstream to spawn, there is a well known event called the Spring White Bass run where you can catch quite a few of these fish.

The best water temperature for this activity is 55 degrees, and if you find the ideal conditions, you may find yourself catching bucketfuls of these fish. Because this is a popular time to fish for white bass, make sure you're following any local laws or restrictions and have the proper fishing license. A solid bait-casting reel combined with a sturdy medium action pole is what you'll need to catch this aggressive fish.

Bass fishing, as we've seen in this article, can be an interesting and diverse sport that has both rewards and challenges. If you are a beginner to bass fishing, don't expect to catch a lot of fish the first few times out. Focus on the fun of learning something new and the experience instead of the end results. One you have gotten more experience in where to find the fish, they will start biting.

Tips on Weather and Fishing

By Nia Lawrence


Weather is an important aspect of fishing. Weather conditions, just like the time of day and the season you are out on your boat, determines the success of your fishing trip. Some fish favor sunny weather, while others are more prone to bite when the sky is overcast. While you can't predict how the weather will turn out within the day or control the tides and wind during the season, with tools like a Raymarine chartplotter and weather forecasts, one can always be prepared. Moreover, it is very important that one has the right gear for the different weather conditions once can encounter. Comfort, like having the right tools, will make your fishing experience more enjoyable and more hassle-free. The following are some things that you can consider including in your fishing bag on your next fishing trip.

Always have a pair of polarized sunglasses with you. They are essential for spotting fish in the water. They are very important to have, just like the Raymarine S1000, so you need to make sure that you have a spare pair with you in your fishing bag or vest in case you break or lose a pair.

Never leave home without your sunglasses. Sunglasses are one of the most important tools you will need to have with you whenever you are out fishing. Not only will they be useful in keeping the sun's glaring UV rays from burning your eyes, they are very important to have if you want to spot fish effectively in the water. Just like Raymarine chartplotters with fish finding capabilities, having a pair of sunglasses will make your fishing easier. Make it a point to have a spare pair of sunglasses with you in case your main pair breaks or gets lost.

Make it a point to also put on some sun protection on your skin at all times. Even if it is overcast, the sun's UV rays can still penetrate the clouds and cause you sunburns. Make certain that you choose the waterproof type of sun block cream. Also, make sure that you have a wide brimmed hat to protect your head and neck.

Moreover, whether or not you have the Raymarine S1000 that can be useful in predicting weather changes, you need to be prepared with rain gear or a rain jacket. Just like being a boy scout, when it comes to weather, it is best at all times to be prepared.

Coarse Fishing Tackle Overview: The Shimano Saragosa 5000 F Reel

By Joe Fins


We coarse anglers are in a league of our own. Why should you just be satisfied pursing just one kind such as trout or salmon, if you have the opportunity to pursuit a broader assortment of such fish as the bream, barbell, tench, and the predators like the strong and crafty pike? Because there’s no telling what will show up at the end of my line, I want my coarse fishing tackle to be as strong and flexible as it can. I think that my way is very effective because I spend much time picking the correct rods and reels to take on my fishing expeditions. A specific reel that I take with me nearly all the time is my Shimano Saragosa 5000 F. This is the reason this excellent achiever is my favourite.

Coarse Fishing Tackle: Chief Parts of the Shimano Saragosa 5000 F Reel

The Saragosa has a sturdy design and really resilient parts. This reel offers a perfect mixture of original great looking design along with the newest, up-to-date components, which consists of a cold forged gear system. As I was inquisitive, I thought about cold forging and ended up researching it. I found out that it is a procedure in which metal is put into a die which is hooked to an anvil. Next, a hammer comes down constantly, forcing the metal into the die, shaping the part. Cold forging makes an even surface which takes only a small amount of final touching up, at most. So, cold forged metal items don’t cost as much to manufacture. The outcome? Less expensive coarse fishing tackle, for sure!



Coarse Fishing Tackle: More About the Shimano Saragosa 5000 F Reel

This reel includes lots of favourite Shimano parts like Superstopper II and a heavy-duty waterproof micro click multiple disc drag. This way, if I want, I can apply the Saragosa for saltwater specific spool tasks. Don’t forget, though, this reel doesn’t feature anti-reverse. For simple functioning, it comes with 5 protective AR-B bearings and a well-built roller bearing. You’ll probably pay out approximately £200 to get this 360 gram reel with a gear ratio of 5.8:1. The Saragosa 5000 F can sustain 230 yards of 6 pound test line, 170 yards of 8 pound test line, and 140 yards of 10 pound test line. Furthermore, for high-speed retrievers, it includes Fluidrive II by Shimano.

Coarse Fishing Tackle: Closing Remarks Regarding the Shimano Saragosa 5000 F Reel I really like the way Shimano utilises the Paladinâ„¢ gear strength improvement process. It has an excellently constructed management system which successfully stops backlash, knots, and line twists. The frame is constructed out of a heavy-duty, non-corrosive aluminium and contains a tough graphite rotor. The Power Roller III system cuts down tremendously on the twists which are due to continuous casts and retrieves. A specifically made cam guarantees that the line remains connected to the roller. The one-piece bail wire which permits the line to run to the roller without any obstruction executes well in stopping friction.





For the best in coarse fishing tackle, you should take a careful look at the Shimano Saragosa 5000 F reel.

Add Some Spice To Your Next Vacation

By Evan Garcia


Do you get tired of spending all of your vacations with your family? Are you tired of being made to feel selfish because you want to do something else on your vacation besides sit on a couch and stare at your parents' television? Getting over the guilt can be hard. At the same time, why should you get to take a vacation you enjoy once in a while? Why not have an adventure on your next vacation? Heck, you might even be able to fit in weekend adventure treks and still have time to spend with your parents looking through the old photos (again). Here are some adventure travels that you might enjoy.

It may be hard to believe, some cruises are classified as adventure travels. Some available cruises have target destinations, such as Europe or the Greek Isles, which can be excellent ways to journey out and acquire information about the great moments in history and touring historical locations. Don't you want to see first-hand the location of the first Olympic games? Don't you want to tour Stonehenge? There are many options to keep you active while on the boat. These cruises generally have various options for staying busy - like rock climbing and sea diving. There is more to a cruise than lying on the lido deck! Dude Ranches can be amazing adventures for the whole family. The Ponderosa Ranch in Nebraska provides you with a laborious ranch vacation.

You can sleep in the ranch's guest cabins. During the day you are a true ranch hand. Guests ride horseback and assist in round up and driving the ranch's cattle from one section of the land to another. At night there are campfire stories, home cooking and other great activities to take part in. During your free time you have tons of options, from hunting and fishing, or hiking to horseback riding. This is a great vacation for families because people of all ages and skill levels are welcome.

Try out a Llama Trek! Anybody can go horseback riding. Hurricane Creek Llama Treks in Oregon are a great way to have some wacky adventure travels without having to leave the country. During these treks, you camp outdoors and you are responsible for bringing your own equipment (and setting it up/taking it down) and packing and unpacking your llama bags. These types of adventure travels are great because they let you choose--you can either ride your llama or walk the trails yourself and lead the llama with you. When else over the course of your life will you be able to say that you've gone llama riding?

The point of adventure travels is to get people outside of their comfort zones. They help you to experience sides of your personality that you usually like to hide. Are you bored of sitting on your couch and daydreaming of what life could be like on the other side of the world? Have you always wanted to scale a mountain, swim with dolphins or camp out in the great outdoors of Australia or New Zealand? These are all available to you. It's as easy as choosing what kind of adventure you dream of and get out and do it. It's easier than you may realize.

Ways to Reel In Lots of Fish the Hawaiian Way!

By Kana Coennen


Are you aware that Hawaiian fish hook pendants are essentially symbolical in nature, with deepsocial ties and hidden implications ? They are given as offerings not only for their impressive beauty, but also for the symbolism and meaning behind them. Here are some of the blessings a Hawaiian fish hook necklace stands for:

* Prosperity

The fertile abundance of the sea is open to the angler who has control over the hook. In ancient times, the person that accepted the art of hooking and reeling in fish never went hungry, and was granted the wealth of the ocean depths.

* Good Luck

It takes more than ability to be a sanctified fisherman; the fish must be drawn to the hook so as to be captured. Outside the conditions being right, there also looks to be a robust component of luck connected with fishing. The hook that infrequently returns from the water empty is a very lucky hook indeed!

* Strength

All the luck in the world is nothing without the strength and fortitude to combat and reel in the prize! The bigger and better the fish, the tougher the fisherman must be to land it. For this reason, the Hawaiian fish hook necklace also represents strength of body, will and heart.

The Wealthy Mythology of Hawaiian Fish Hooks

Hooks also had special meaning as an expression of the islands themselves. In Hawaiian creation stories, the islands were formed by the great fish hook of Maui, called the Manaiakalani, or the Hook from the Heavens.

The account goes that the demigod Maui and his 2 brothers were sent fishing by their mother, and were warned not to return empty handed. Maui wasn't a good fisherman at all in comparison to his siblings, and that was warranted that he would not rise to the challenge. As luck would have it , Maui's dad had anonymously presented his son with a great hook that would set him apart from all other fisherman, the Manaiakalani.

Maui hooked a giant fish with the great hook, and with his brothers fought it for 3 days straight. As the end drew near and the great creature rose up from the depths, his bros foolishly caused the line to start to break and the fish snapped into many pieces. These pieces in turn formed the Hawaiian Islands. Maui returned home to his mummy a hero for making the lush islands stuffed with prosperity and life.

Given the rich cultural history of these lovely Hawaiian bone fish hook necklaces, what could make a nicer gift for the special fisherman in your life?

Carp Fishing Tackle: Major Components of the Daiwa Emblem Spod Reel



For folks who don't know what spodding is, it is a fishing practice which applies a spod, a.k.a. a bait rocket, for casting bait to a longer distance. It is a wonderful method for casting bait deeper into the water, where there is more of a likelihood of fish collecting. I think that employing a spod is more effective than various other practices such as tossing or throwing sticks. To be certain of correctness it is vital to apply carp fishing tackle which is built for spodding. The Daiwa Emblem is highly fitting for this duty. To me, it is the most advanced spod reel sold today. Why is this? Well, mostly because it is able to retrieve in excess of 100cm to each spin of the handle. Furthermore, I enjoy the super-sized ABS spool which permits line to feed out with extreme effortlessness at the same time as the line clip cushions even the most efficient casts.

The Daiwa CastLock attribute ensures that the bail holds its position whenever I'm casting.

Then, there's Super Auto Cast II, a mechanism that exploits the tension of a loaded spod on the line. All that's needed is to engage a button on the underside of the reel to allow the rotor to turn and stop at the ideal location for bail opening and line pick up. The reel also features four high-quality ball bearings, one of which is a CRBB (corrosion-resistant ball bearing). For both exceptional toughness and smooth performance, the Emblem spod reel utilises worm shaft oscillation. Remarkable!



Carp Fishing Tackle: Concluding Remarks about the Daiwa Emblem Spod Reel



The Emblem reel contains a gear ratio of 5.1:1 and it will retrieve 122cm of line per revolution of the handle. It can hold 280m of 15lb test line and its weight is 25oz.

I am grateful for the twin line clips and the high-diameter ABS aluminium spool contained on the Emblem. The well-liked Daiwa Twist Buster component is incorporated with it as well.

Fluke Fishing Strategies

By Stewie Flannagan


1. The Bucktail: This truly is my all-time preferred artificial lure. I prefer white or lime-green colors in or 1 oz. size. Ball head style is fine but a sharp nosed bullet design will function nicely in fast moving water. I trim the bucktail to just behind the hook. I usually fish it tipped-off with a brief strip of pork rind having a split tail. White pork rind or green appears to function best. I function the bucktail along the bottom with a fairly slow jigging stroke. I lift the tip of the rod about two feet and slowly let the lure settle back towards the bottom, by no means letting slack create within the line. I let it lay on the bottom for a fraction of a second following which start the cycle again. The strike will always come on the drop or as the lure sits on the bottom. I'm usually prepared to strike the fish aggressively. Sharp hooks are a should.

2. The Silver Bullet: This new lure was created a couple of years ago and has earned a place of distinction as a very productive artificial. Essentially it's a chrome plated ball getting a completely free swinging bucktail or feather adorned hook. The ball and hook are accessible in many sizes to suite fishing requirements. I especially like this feature. If I must fish deep water or quick present I would have to use a big bucktail, the larger bucktails however have hooks that are too large for fluke. I can get a 3 oz. "Silver-Bullet" getting a 2/0 hook that is perfect for fluke. A three oz. bucktail might be manufactured getting a 4/0 to 6/0 size hook, a lot too big for the typical fluke. When purchasing tackle please be conscious of imitations. When a lure becomes well-liked, it by no indicates fails that some "opportunist" will try to copy the original and take advantage of the market. Maintain in thoughts that a great deal of study goes into the style with the "original" and copies most frequently do not function also. I recommend sticking with the actual element. I function the "Silver-Bullet" in a lot precisely exactly the same way because the bucktail. Nevertheless, I've discovered that this lure will catch fish if it's just dragged along the bottom or merely worked with a twitching action with the rod, a great deal shorter strokes than using the bucktail. Just like the bucktail, it'll catch any other type of fish inside the neighborhood. Bass blues and weakfish can't resist it.

3. Teaser Rig: The addition of a bucktail, mylar or feathered "teaser" hook above the primary lure began with the surf crowd a couple of years back. This "teaser" is usually tied on a brief leader about a foot above whatever lure, jig or plug is being utilized. Fluke fishermen have found that it adds additional attraction towards the primary providing. On some occasions it'll out-fish the primary lure. I prefer the easy bucktail variety in white, black/white or olive/white colors. I use a bit three-way swivel or perhaps a "Bear Paw" plastic connector to attach the "teaser" on a one foot leader slightly much more than a foot above my sinker or jig. Some prefer the "teaser" on a long leader trailing behind a bucktail. This kind rig is marketed as the "Terminator." When the lure is worked along the bottom, the teaser flutters with an enticing irregular motion above or behind the primary bait or jig. It is a actual attention-getter. I've caught fluke on the "teaser" which indicates they'll come off the bottom a great distance if they are teased sufficient. The only issue I have had with this rig is catching two fish at the same time. When this occurs they fight against each other and usually 1 or both are lost. I've also had two great size bass hooked at the same time and they truly broke the line in in between the jig and "teaser." I guess worse problems could happen?

4. Slow Trolling the Slack Side (Great for fishing on a Long Island Party Boat: When drifting for fluke, slack water indicates no action. Merely because there's no movement, the region covered is reduced to completely nothing and so is the fishing. Crabs usually take more than throughout slack and try to wipe out your bait provide. During this time I generally revert to slow-trolling. I like to fish a squid/spearing combination and prefer a chrome spinner blade or "Spin-n-Glow" in front with the hook. I enhance the sinker weight to about 6 oz.. I put the boat in gear and drop back the line about 75 feet and set the rod inside the rod-holder. I then function the boat in and out of gear just sufficient to maintain slow forward motion and nonetheless have the sinker bouncing along the bottom. While performing this I watch the rod tip. When the tip indicated a bite, I take the boat out of gear, pick up the rod, drop the tip to let the fish get on the bait, and strike the fish. This technique can produce great fishing throughout what would otherwise be wasted time.

5. Chumming For Fluke: This technique dates back so long as I can keep in mind but is practiced by couple of. It can be extremely productive even in occasions of lean fishing. It'll also function nicely when the water is churned or murky because of algae blooms. I anchor up in a promising region, preferably a distance away from all the boat visitors. I set a chum pot loaded with ground bunker on the bottom or just slightly above the bottom. A moving tide is truly a should because it'll carry the chum back from the boat and act as an attractant to any fluke within the region. I then fish behind the chum pot with all-natural baits, reside baits or jigs. I like to fish a reside killie about a foot above the sinker on a three foot leader on a "dead stick" which is a rod within the rod-holder. I then work a second rod and bounce a bucktail or other artificial by dropping it just behind the chum pot and bouncing it along the bottom as I "walk" it back using the tide. If the "dead stick" gets a hit, I can rapidly grab the rod and set the hook. This technique has produced superb catches even under probably probably the most adverse conditions and often bluefish weakfish and bass are caught within the procedure. It is kind of laid back and is an superb option when fishing with little kids. Children like plenty of action and this technique will generally offer action.

Try these tips whilst on a Long Island Party Boat fluke fishing trip!
