Bass Fishing Basics

By Owen Jones


Fishing is a thinking person's pursuit. No matter whether you fish for a hobby, as a sport or for a living, you have to be able to outsmart the fish you are looking for. Not just that, but unlike most hunters, you cannot see your quarry. You have to work out where it is probably going to be and what it is to be expected to do.

Anglers normally fish alone, so it is not surprising that every angler has a couple of of his or own personal methods and preferences. This goes for any type of fishing, but it is particularly a fact of some fish. This usually means the big and the clever (well, for fish) species. One of these clever varieties is the bass.

Bass fishing techniques vary due to several circumstances including temperature, season and type of water and coast line - whether you are fishing fresh or salt water.

If you are fishing for bass off a boat, then you are almost certainly fishing in deeper water, because bass swim in deeper water when it is cold, so make certain that you have all the safety gear and that you know how to use it. Furthermore, you must be aware of your country's or state's legal requirements.

For example, if you take anglers out with you, you might have legal responsibilities or there might be seasons when you may and may not fish. These very from region to region and have to do with spawning and maintaining the amount of stock.

Bass experts have their own techniques, as was mentioned above, but a lot of bass fishermen recommend fishing at night. This is not a bad notion as there is less chance of getting your line entangled with others, particularly if you are fishing off a rock or the shore.

Fishing for bass at night is not a bad technique for other reasons as well. Although there are diverse types of bass, most of them are shy and wary, so if they feel that the water is too clear, they may decide to bottom feed. This is one of the areas where local knowledge and skill plays a big role.

Bass are wary predators and also a little lazy They prefer to hide themselves somewhere and wait for their victim to pass close by. Therefore, a rocky shoreline is ideal bass fishing territory in the summer months whilst the bass swim and hunt closer to the surface. In the winter, you will need to fish the bottom water where it is somewhat warmer.

While bottom fishing, bass will be searching for small fish and sand worms, whereas in the summer they are feeding on the top and will not be expecting to find any worms. Then they will be looking for small fish and insects that have dropped into the water, like flies. Bass are meat eaters, so berries, seeds and bread should not be of much use, but hey, not all fish behave like the text books say that they should!

The thing to bear in mind is that local conditions count and although fishing with a rod and line is necessarily a solitary and quiet sport, particularly in fresh water, fishermen like to socialize afterwards and pass on their knowledge. So, if you are having trouble with catching the fish you are searching for, join a local anglers' club and mix with the experts.

Kayaks And Paddles An Overview

By Carl R Hartley


Kayaks and paddles come in many different shapes and sizes. People wanting to get into the sport will benefit by first getting an overview of what is available in terms of different types of kayaks are available. There is a lot to choose from. Perhaps the most basic kit, but nevertheless one of the most popular, is a sit-on-top kayak. This note concentrates on the sit-on-top kayak.

The key feature of a sit-on-top is that it does not have a hollow cockpit but rather a mild, deck depression without any covering for the lower torso or legs. This makes getting in and out of the kayak a breeze, particularly out on the water after a knockdown or rollover.

Approximate dimensions for a solo paddler sit-on-top might be length 3 meters, width 0.75 meters and weight about 18 kilograms supporting a maximum paddler weight of 150 kilograms, depending on the specific brand. They are generally suitable for all members of the family.

Sit-on-top models are made both for solo and tandem adventurers. There are models designed for both day trips and extended, multi-day touring treks. They are mostly designed for sheltered water courses such as estuaries, canals, rivers and lakes. Some open water models are also available. Also, some combined paddle-pedal models are available that are particularly popular among long distance tourers as well as bird watchers and quiet water fishing enthusiasts.

Sit on tops kayaks are made for as solo and tandem units. They can be used for both short, day trip excursions as well as longer multi-day tours along protected water courses like canals, lakes, rivers and estuaries. They are roomy, stable, and easy to paddle.

There is generally plenty of seating space and good back support that flips up-down. There is enough room for two storage wells with screw hatches, one forward one rear large enough for essentials. Bow & stern moulded handles come as standard. They come with a paddle, typically made from an alloy metal. If you decide on a sit-on-top, consider choosing one with a fixed seat. This feature will prevent the seat from swishing around as you paddle. That movement can be annoyingly uncomfortable and contribute to premature fatigue.

Some sit-on-tops are specially designed for the surf. These models are not appropriate for exploring let alone touring. They do not have a seat, backrest or many storage areas. The paddler sits in a small deck depression. Some models have padded thigh straps to keep the kayak tethered to the paddler. These units are designed for short bursts of paddling speed and on-wave maneuvering. They have a long broad hull section for planning and are totaling self-bailing. They also have hard rails and a surf fin to assist maneuverability.

To recap, sit on tops are a popular design for adventurers looking to equip themselves with their own kayaks and paddles. Basic models can cost several hundred dollars with better equipped kits costing up to over a thousand dollars. Premier paddle and pedal models designed for extended touring can cost several thousands of dollars. So these units are not cheap but they can be great value. Most brands provide warranties against faulty manufacture as well as extended normal use warranties. The units can be expected to provide many years of virtually maintenance free outdoor enjoyment and pleasure.

Gold Coast Fishing Charters: Where Do They Go?

By Kim Raymond


If you have decided that you want to go on a Gold Coast fishing charter a natural question you may be asking is "where exactly do we go fishing?" Also "how far do we go out to sea?" Read on and I will answer these important questions.

A Gold Coast fishing charter could potentially take you to a host of different fishing locations. In fact a lot depends on the experience and knowledge of the captain taking you. So my first advice is to know a little about the captain of the boat that you are thinking of going out with.

The first target area of Gold Coast fishing charters, that is most highly frequented, is the area from Gold Coast Seaway out as far as 24 fathoms or about five nautical miles. This general area consists of rocky reefs surrounded by sand and gravel. These reefs comprise varieties of deep water weed and coral growth. Since these reefs attract large schools of bait fish species such as mackerel, pilchards, yellowtail scad (also known as yakkas), scavenger and predator fish species abound.

At around 10 nautical miles out to sea, at a depth of 36 fathoms, there are parallel ridge systems running north to south adjacent to the coastline. Beyond this at around 15 nautical miles out to sea, the same ridge systems occur at 50 fathom depths. Most half day Gold Coast fishing charters do not go beyond the 24 fathom mark.

It is worth noting that most Gold Coast fishing charters will take you out to the 24 fathom depths where reefs have already been heavily fished. If possible to catch more and bigger fish, target a charter company that will take you to the 36 and 50 fathom marks respectively.

Going out to the 50 fathom reefs and beyond, is the best location to catch large migratory fish species as they travel south with the warm deep blue water currents during the summer months. For fishing enthusiasts who want to target the larger fish species, I suggest you ask Gold Coast fishing charter operators of this particular option.

To conclude, if you are not a real go getter and you want a sedate and comfortable time on the sea, I suggest that you fish the protected waters of the seaway and estuaries. Here sandy and mud flats attract certain species of fish.

Tips For Bow Fishing

By Owen Jones


Archery fishing is also called bow fishing and it is as ancient as the bow and arrow themselves. We in the West tend to think that only poorer tribesmen in Third World countries go bow fishing, but that is not quite true.

These days the hunting of mammals is stringently controlled and so some people who like to hunt with a bow will switch to bow fishing if the animals that they like to pursue, say deer, are out of season. Some other people, who would not hunt a deer or bear are quite happy to kill fish in this fashion.

Bow fishing is a skilled sport, but the paraphernalia need not of necessity be hi-tech. The fact is that you can use whatever bow you have or you can just make one. It does not have to be powerful, because the quarry is seldom more than ten feet away. You categorically do not have to have a 100 lbf longbow to kill a trout.

Having said that, any bow used for fishing will need to be adapted slightly - you will need to attach a reel to it, but it does not have to be anything fancy. There are three principal types of reel for use in bow fishing: hand-wrap, spincast and retriever and the line is usually braided nylon of approximately eighty pounds although you might require six hundred pound breaking strain line for alligators or sharks.

It is worth checking out the regulations with regard to bow fishing in your country or state, because sometimes bow fishermen have to be licensed and sometimes getting that license involves having attended a safety course.

Some places will even have by-laws regarding the kind of equipment you can use in bow fishing and of course, some fish have seasonal limitations.

Bow fishing is a mixture of fishing and hunting, so you could have to learn some new skills like tying knots for example. You will need to be able to tie the line to the reel and the arrow and those knots will need to be able to put up with the tremendous acceleration that an arrow leaving a bow goes through without failing.

The bow may not be different much from a standard bow, but the arrows certainly do. Arrows for bow fishing are usually a lot heavier that air-flight arrows. They also have barbed tips to stop the fish escaping or just slipping off when you reel it in. The arrows do not have fletching either because flights are apt to deflect the true course of the arrow in water - the reverse of in the air.

There are three principal techniques used in bow fishing: 1] you can put down ground bait and lie in wait. - an over hanging tree or high boulder is good for this; 2] you can float down stream in a dinghy while sitting or standing in the prow; 3] you can walk into the stream like a salmon fisherman.

Compensating for the refraction of the water is the most difficult ability to learn and that means knowing the water well as well.

The History Of Fly Fishing

By Michael Vyse


Fly fishing is a kind of fishing which incorporates the usage of a fake fly in order to attract a fish. The fishing poles which are used are usually made of a light carbon fiber and feature lines that are a lot heavier and larger than normal ones. The "flies" are created and produced to look like little insects and other creatures that fish might find appetizing. The pastime can be accomplished in both salt and fresh bodies of water and can be followed back to the 2nd century.

The biggest difference between normal and fly angling is the placement of weight. In the bait method, the weight of the hooked bait carries the remainder of the line to a specific area while the weight in fly fishing is found in the slightly heavier line. The artificial lures are usually between one and ten centimeters wide and are made to look like insects, crustaceans, or little fish. Angling using a fly is also accomplished without an edible bait, not like other methods.

The items can also be manufactured from fur, feathers, hair, and other synthetic materials and attached to a hook. Although they are made to look like living creatures, they are often given bright and vibrant colors. This is to help them attract the attention of fish like salmon or bass. In fact, most lure manufacturers can market flies which are specifically designed to catch certain kinds of fish.

Most historians attribute the very first fly lure to rural Roman fisherman in the second century. The men's actions were noticed and documented by a well known poet who described them fastening wool feathers to the ends of their lines in order to attract nearby fish. For their part, the fish were said to have been so drawn to the makeshift lures that they quickly swam directly to them.

Fishing handbooks were released in Britain in the fourteen hundreds that described all of the proper fly types one should use to catch certain fish. During the nineteen hundreds, clubs for fly fishers began popping up all over the countryside and clearly made it their solemn duty to develop a better lure that could remain on the water's top rather than just sinking to the bottom.

In North America and Japan, the angling method became more prevalent during the late eighteenth century. Anglers of this era wrote extensively over their techniques and theories and their published works helped increase the popularity and awareness of the sport in both countries.

Works of fiction by the popular writer Mr. Hemingway, in the 20s, mentioned this type of angling that, along with the recent upgrades to the lure and pole design, helped solidify the sport's place in history.

Catching a fish this way, unlike with bait angling, requires that the line be cast much differently. A fly fisher must cast their line rather than the lure. This is because the fly is too light to be case on it's own. Cast placement, for this fishing type, is left up to the line.

Do Your Fishing Hand A Favor And Get Another - Use A Fishing Pole Holder

By Miles Billings


The special relationship between man and the sea involves a critical element. The sustenance that satisfies our physical needs. Fish, whether from the saltwater seas or freshwater bodies, have always played an important part of our diet. They provide some of the most useful micronutrients in the form of vitamins, healthy oils, proteins, and other essential nutrients. There are some of us who consider themselves fishermen by sport, when others make the act their livelihood to support the families. But sometimes, even the best professional needs a little help and this may come in the form of a fishing pole holder.

For those of you who are not fishermen, you may wonder "what is the purpose of a fishing rod holder"? Well it's not like bringing a little a magical creature along with you on expedition to hold your pole.

There are actually many different types of pole holders. These can basically be divided into three main categories; active fishing, mobile storage, or home storable holders.

Active fishing rod holders serve to do just that; hold the pole while fishing. There are many sub-categories to this type that include the shore fishing active holder. This type is designed with a sharp spike that is driven into the ground and has an angled slot at the top that holds the end of the pole. After the fisherman has cast their line and tightened it up, they place it in the holder and wait for the fish to strike.

There are other types of active pole holders that are sub-classed as stationary. These types of holders are usually fastened to the rails of a boat, or even a pier. There are also unique types that modified to be fixed upon abnormal objects like the wheelchair of a disabled fisherman.

Mobile storage pole holders are used to transport the poles from one place to another, so that the poles do not become damaged or tangled. There are adjustable units that you can get that can go into the back of a pick up truck or in a boat.

The home storage versions are another form of permanently installed holders that are typically installed at home. There are commercial versions available for install, but many hardcore fishing enthusiasts will often have this custom built to reflect their own personal equipment.

As you have learned, a fishing pole holder is not just some invisible being that takes the pole, the holder actually takes a very important role, depending upon the particular situation. Perhaps your future fishing experience may one day dictate your need of a fishing pole holder.

Deep Sea Diving: Knowing Your Tides

By Owen Jones


It might sound weird but a thorough knowledge of the tides and their result on your fishing area can pay big dividends. In fact, it is rated a major key to successful deep sea fishing by experts. Most fishing guides and charter-boat captains know this secret. They make close studies of currents, tides, and how they affect fishing on their area.

However, it is depressing to declare, that a lot of amateur deep sea anglers give very little attention to these key facts. In deed, some anglers do not pay any attention to them at all. Then they wonder why other fishermen catch all the fish and they do not. Nevertheless, there are those who do realize that tides affect their fishing, but they do not know exactly how or why.

These anglers frequently waste hours trolling, casting and sinker bouncing even when the tide is not right. However, the deep sea angler who knows his tides can select in advanced the most favourable fishing times and concentrate his efforts on those times, which means that you can have fewer wasted days and get more fish during your deep sea fishing trips.

We do not need to delve into the science of tides here, except to point out that tides are thanks to the gravitational forces that are brought about by the Sun and the moon. Since the moon is nearer the Earth, it has greater influence on tides than the Sun.

When the tide is up, water moves towards the land. This is also known as a "flood tide". When the tide drops, making its way back out, it is called an "ebb tide". The time when it does not move either way is termed the "slack tide". It takes a period of about six hours for it to rise, and six hours to ebb. For every 24 hours these tides take place about 50 minutes later than the last time.

They also vary with regard to the degree that they rise or fall. The highest tides occur when the Sn and moon are situated on the same side of the Earth in a direct line. This kind of tide is called a "Spring tide", which happens during new-moon and full-moon periods.

During these periods, both low and high tides are higher than their usual state. However, during the last and first quarter phases of the moon, tides do not rise or fall that much. These are termed as "neap tides".

So which of these tides are helpful and which are not? To start off with, most experts believe that moving tides or currents are usually more productive than when there are no currents or tides. Therefore, a "slack" tide will rarely produce a good catch.

You can take even more help from tides by knowing when to go. The time in which an incoming tide starts is considered one of the most productive periods for fishing, especially if you are targeting game fish like bluefish, striped bass, channel bass, and weakfish.

During the periods of slack water, small bait fish are apt to scatter, and having a lack of strong currents to contend with, they are able to swim faster and therefore escape their predators.

However, when tides start moving, such small bait fish are at the mercy of strong rips and current. Therefore, they are easier to find and catch for stripers and other kinds of game fish. When an outgoing tide begins is another good time to fish, simply for the same logic. In general, the change of tide, whether it be low or high, is really the best time to do your fishing.

What Is Fishing Equipment

By Owen Jones.


Fishing equipment is referred to as fishing tackle by specialists and hobbyists and it usually includes to rods, lines, hooks, weights, spears, lures, bait, reels, nets, and so on. The fishing gear that is attached at the end of a line is called the terminal tackle

The word tackle when it refers to fishing equipment comes from 'takel' which first meant the rigging of a ship, that is, the gear consisting of ropes supporting a ship's masts and sails. Later, the same word was recorded as having a another meaning, that of apparatus for fishing and that meaning has been preserved ever since.

The most rudimentary fishing apparatus consists of a rod, a line, a hook, a lure, a bait and a weight or sinker. The line is a basic string especially made for fishing that is both long, strong and yet thin, so that fish do not notice it. There are various things that an angler asks about when buying a fishing line, such as its resistance, stretch, strength et cetera. The line will be chosen based on what kind of fish the angler hopes to catch.

The sinker or weight, also called a plummet, is really only a weight that assists in casting the hook and the bait as far as possible from the shoreline or from the boat that the fisherman is using. They are usually made of lead as their purpose is also to sink and to get the bait closer to the fish in the water as quickly as possible. However, lead sinkers have been banned in some parts of the world, especially the really small ones, which are often called 'shot'. If ingested by birds or other fish, the lead, which is known for its high toxicity level, will cause the death of the animal.

Another elementary piece of fishing equipment is the hook. This is a device meant for holding the bait and for hooking into the fish's mouth. It is attached to the line and the fisherman can choose from a pretty wide range of shapes, sizes and materials.

And last but far from least, is the bait or lure, without which the fishing equipment cannot be effective. A lure is a device attached at the end of the line that looks and moves something like the prey of the fish you are after. Its purpose is to get the attention of the fish with its colour and movement. Artificial flies, tiddlers and sand eels come into into this category. When the fish bites the lure, it gets hooked.

Bait, on the other hand, is the item actually attached to the hook. Bait is often of two types: animal or foodstuff. 'Animal' refers to small fish or other water creatures, insects or crawlers. 'Foodstuff' refers to grains, like corn, bread or whatever the angler believes might work.

How To Fly Fish WIth Nymphs

By Justin F Harding


1-Set, Set, Set! - When nymphing, often times as a beginner your not sure when to set. As a professional fly fishing guide I can't stress this enough, set anytime you even think you have a strike. The reason being is that you'll miss 100% of the shots you don't take. I find it unusual that people come to fly fish and when everything indicates they have a fish they are hesitant to act. Who cares if it's not a fish, right?! Have faith in the setup (especially if you have a guide) and that it really is a fish taking the underwater fly. After you hook up on a fish when you set when you really thought it was a rock, you to will become a believer...Set, Set, Set!

2-Enjoy bringing in the fish (the tippet is tiny) - Remember that the tippet is tiny line. We are fishing with tiny tippet that you have to be gentle with. What this means to you is that you should enjoy bringing the fish in. Enjoy the catch, smile, relax, have some fun. After all, you have succeeded at what you came to do but if you are too eager and unwilling to play those big fish they'll break you right off. So remember, enjoy the catch!

3-Extra weight - When nymphing, getting flies down to the bottom is an important strategy that every expert fly fisherman uses. Trevor Howard, a third generation fly fisherman taught me a great lesson: "the difference between a good fly fisherman and a great one is...one weight." The fish hover the bottom waiting for food that has plunged free of the rocks and are rolling along the swift current

4-good tippet - Making sure you buy good tippet, such as is a must. I have seen more beginners buy crappy stuff from Wal-Mart and then when they get a big fish on the line...SNAP. At that point I don't know anyone who would not be willing to pay top dollar for great fishing line.

5-Stay till dusk - Unless you have other obligations don't leave until you can not see anymore. You would be amazed at the opportunity I see when everyone else goes home. The rivers start to make noise and the waters look like they are starting to boil with the fish. This all happens when there are flies on the water starting to lay eggs before dust. The fish go crazy and you'll wonder why everyone left 30 minutes ago.

Dealing with the question of the best time of the year to take a Gold Coast fishing charter, there are several noteworthy factors to consider.

The first consideration is to ask yourself "am I able to choose the time of the year to book a Gold Coast fishing charter?" Your holidays from work or business commitments may very well limit your choices. If you are quite limited as to when you can go then the next consideration is whether or not you are wanting to org-anise a whole group to charter the boat, part of a group or just yourself. If it is a whole group then you are advised to contact a suitable charter boat operator as soon as possible, to nail down a preferred date. If you are calling about organising just yourself to go, then you need to know that each charter needs to have a minimum number of paying customers, before the charter can be confirmed. To avoid disappointment then you are best advised to check with a potential charter boat operator periodically.

When booking a Gold Coast fishing charter, rest assured that Queensland winter temperatures are pretty mild compared to winters in the northern hemisphere.

The third consideration when deciding to book a Gold coast fishing charter is the question of what kind of fish you want to catch and consequently the size of fish that you want to target.

If you have decided that you have a preference to target larger fish such as marlin, mackerel, tuna and so on then you are best advised to book a Gold coast fishing charter during the summer months of the year. By the way, these fish are invariably caught through trolling.

Whereas if you are content to catch smaller fish that are found on the reefs, you have a larger range of months to choose when to book your Gold Coast fishing charter (ie from April-October)

So in choosing the best day of the week to book a Gold Coast fishing charter, just be aware that weekends are the busiest time. If the Christmas period is your choice time, then make sure you book months in advance. During the off season, a few weeks in advance is usually sufficient to nail down your best time.

Regarding the composition of a Gold Coast fishing charter, some operators build charters with individuals. Other companies give preference to group bookings.

Finally, it is prudent to keep a track of weather patterns, as a guide to knowing when to book your Gold Coast fishing charter. However it is noteworthy to say that boat captains vary in what they deeem to be safe weather to venture out in.
