Fly Fishing in New Zealand- 10 fantastic destinations.

By Paul Collery


Fly Fishing in New Zealand is worldclass trout fishing. Keen fly fishers from around the world return to this beautiful country year on year for their fly-fishing fix. The tiny population of NZ, its remote location, untouched alpine wilderness and lack of pollution make it a premium habitat for brown and rainbow trout as well as salmon. In most areas the fishing season runs from beginning of April to the end of May.

This is a list of some of many popular and proven trout fishing destinations in New Zealand.

Motueka

Located near the town of Nelson at the top of the southern island the Motueka River and its mant feeder streams run from the easterly slopes of the Kahurangi Ranges and National Park and the north sides of the Nelson Ranges NP.

Murchison

Also near the top of the southern island the Murchison Valley is around two hours south of Nelson. It is on the southern watershed of Kahurangi NP and the western side of the Nelson Lakes NP. Renowned for the wonderful sight brown trout fishing the Murchison and its feeder streams are also classic dry fly streams.

Nelson Lakes

The impressive scenery of the Nelson Lakes region makes wandering these valleys a joy even if you're not fishing successfully. The entrance to the park is the small alpine town of St Arnaud under 2 hours drive south of Nelson. The fishing is focused on brown trout populations in the various rivers and lakes of the area.

Coarse Fishing Basics

By Ted Fenton


Among the popular sports in Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and mainland Europe is coarse fishing. Coarse fishing began in the U.K. roughly two hundred years ago. Coarse fish refer to fresh water fish. A couple of examples of coarse fish are salmon and trout; there are many others as well. The various fish species that one can catch through coarse fishing are barbel, bream, goldfish, chub, rudd, zander, tench, crucial carp, dace and common carp. Fishing enthusiasts looking to score a good deal on tackle equipment for coarse fishing are in luck since there are lots of excellent offers available. Almost all of the available fishing gear range from $30 to $100. The prices of coarse fishing rods, poles, accessories, and baits are in this range. For instance, a TF gear Nan-Tec range is $100. For thirty dollars, you can have an In-Destruct rod range.

While they are on their fishing excursion, coarse anglers may use several fishing techniques and fishing equipment. Hinging on the situation, coarse anglers may employ a variety of tackle. Among the most popular tackle is the rod and reel. The rod holds the fishing line. Attached to its base is the reel. The fishing line is cast out and is afterwards retrieved by winding the handle connected to the reel. Fishing rods used for coarse fishing are typically really long, giving anglers a longer reach. The fishing pole used needs to be sturdy enough that it will withstand the pull and struggle of a powerful carp or barbel. The reel must have spare spools wound with nylon. A landing net and proper weights for the floats are necessary. There are many baits you can use to catch coarse fish: seeds, bait fish, dead bait, live baits, maggots, lures, boilies, grubs, worms, soaked raisin, corn, luncheon meat, and bread crumbs.

There are 3 well-known types of coarse fishing, namely pleasure angling, match angling, and specimen hunting. As its name implies, pleasure angling is coarse fishing done in a relaxed way. The anglers go out with the aim of enjoying and having fun. These anglers don't go on a fishing trip for the purpose of catching fish, and if they do catch fish, it's simply a pleasant bonus. In match angling, several groups or individuals compete in catching fish. Each group must catch as much fish as they can within the time limit. There are local, national, and international match angling contests. Specimen hunting has to do with catching a specific fish species. If an angler manages to catch the target species of fish, he has the option to be photographed with the fish.

In some countries, coarse fishing is a popular sport. Ireland is a leading destination for those who enjoy coarse fishing. Coarse fishing enthusiasts prefer doing their coarse fishing in Ireland for several reasons. For one, it isn't difficult to get fishing trip information.

If you happen to want extra information on fishing and also fishing gear, one may wish to visit The Fishing Box by going online. To aid you with you're angling strategies and desire a few further hints, you may want to watch fishing videos on line.

Using Crankbaits By Season

By Timothy Powers


If you've been fishing for any length of time, you've probably seen your share of crankbaits. While it can be a lot of fun, fishing with crankbaits can also be very frustrating. Finding the right lure to catch fish can seem like searching for a needle in a haystack.

But have you ever checked out the crankbait aisle in your local tackle shop? It has hundreds, if not thousands of different choices. All different sizes, shapes, dive depths, and colors. You could literally spend all day in there and not do anything productive!

So what is the key? What separates a crankbait that will help you put big bass in the boat, from a lure that looks pretty, but is nothing more than a waste of money? It may not be the bait itself at all. In fact, you may have to look at a calendar to answer the question.

The key is in the seasons of the year. Bass behavior is largely determined by the seasons. They behave certain ways in response to the changes in weather, and other seasonal factors. Matching the crankbait you choose with the right season of the year will make you look like a bass fishing genius.

Generally, early spring before the spawn and early fall will be good times to choose shallow running crankbaits, and to retrieve them pretty quickly. When fish are shallow and actively feeding, these little baits can really do the trick.

Early summer and mid-fall will generally be good times to employ medium diving lures. This is sort of an in between season for the fish. They aren't right up close to shore, but they haven't quite made the move to really deep water just yet either.

When the dog days of summer hit, or the cold days of winter, it's time to get you bait deep! Find the deepest diving crank you can. You may even need to employ a few suspend dots to keep them in the strike zone for longer periods of time.

This general outline of seasons and the crankbaits that go along with them should be enough to get you started. You will still need to experiment, and get to know your local water to find which will be best for you.

Florida Shipwrecks Hold Treasures And History

By Gladys Holland


Treasures and history held in Florida shipwrecks for many centuries came from people that traveled using a ship. With hurricanes, reefs, shallow water and pirates being widespread throughout the coastline, treasure ships (containing gold and silver coins obtained from the Inca and Aztec empires) lie wrecked in the coastal waters.

Pensacola Bay holds the Emanuel Point shipwreck that was sunk in 1559 because of a hurricane that devastated eleven ships and settlers. The sunken ship was uncovered in 1992.

In 1701, the Henrietta Marie slave ship left Jamaica and sank near Key West. The Henrietta Marie was located in 1972 while searching for the Atocha. Ivory tusks and iron shackles were pulled up, so they knew they discovered a slave ship. The ship's cast iron bell was recovered with the name Henrietta Marie on it. The Henrietta Marie is the oldest known slave trade shipwreck to be recognized by name.

In 1733, the Nuestra Espana Fleet was made up of three armed vessels and eighteen commercial ships. During a hurricane, the ships were grounded in the Florida Keys. The fleet is scattered over eighty miles of the Keys. The San Pedro shipwreck site is open for divers. The San Pedro is located in a white sand pocket encircled by turtle grass. This shipwreck site is part of Florida's oldest artificial reefs with many sea creatures living among the ballast stones and coral heads.

Twenty-seven vessels (called the Tierra Firme Fleet) sailed from South America to Spain in 1622. Silver from Mexico and Peru as well as gold and emeralds from Columbia and pearls from Venezuela were included in the shipment. A hurricane in the Keys sunk the Atocha and Santa Margarita vessels. Millions of dollars and hundreds of lives were unable to be found. Vast amounts of treasure were located in the Keys in 1985 at the Atocha Spanish galleon site. Key West is showcasing this treasure including artifacts and gold pieces found.

In 1715, the Urca de Lima was one of ten treasure ships lost in an Atlantic hurricane. More than fifteen million dollars worth of treasure and seven hundred seamen sank with the ship. Spain recovered approximately four million dollars in sunken treasure, however for more than 250 years the remaining treasure is still on the ocean floor. The Urca de Lima shipwreck site is open for divers. Read more about: florida shipwrecks

Snapper Fishing Port Phillip Bay - This Fish Has A Distinctive Flight Pattern

By Gladys Holland


Snapper fishing Port Phillip Bay is a deep water fishing experience that is thrilling for new and veterans anglers alike. There are many varieties that swim in the waters off of this beautiful area of Australia. They like to live in waters at a depth of 30 to 200 feet.

The oldest known fish of this kind is 57 years. Most live to be about 50 and weigh in the region of 50lbs. They are distinctive in their appearance with a sloping profile and thin, compressed body.

As an angler you want to know some things about this fish before embarking on a fishing journey. They are creatures of habit and like to feed off the bottom of seabeds. Squid and shellfish are their favorite meal but, they will eat just about any water game. The fresher your bait the better chance you have of finding your catch.

The fishing boat you use should be capable of handling waves up to 6 feet, as you will be out in deeper waters and the water can be very choppy, as well, the boats should be setup so that you can have at least eight rods going; making sure the boat does not drift.

It is easier to reel these fish in if you know what to expect when you hook one. First, they will dive and run along the bottom until you feel them start to wane. The head starts to weave back and forth. Next, as they get closer to the boat they make a second run and eventually just wade through the water; often turning toward the boat making netting them easy.

Snapper fishing Port Phillip Bay is a great idea for this reason; this deep water fish is rich in protein, some B vitamins, minerals, as well as, omega-3 fatty acids. There are so many ways to cook this fish, you could eat it several times a week all year as it is available at the local market throughout the year. These are a prized food fish, however, sometimes when they are sold in restaurants, it may not actually be snapper. This is done to reduce prices and meet demand.

Nautical Charts Florida For Cruising Or Sailing Around The Sunshine State

By Lorena Wilder


There is a saying that two of the greatest moments in your life are the day you buy your boat, and the day you sell it. If you have yet to experience the thrill and agony of owning a boat, you probably won't fully appreciate that statement. If you have a boat, you can avoid some agony before you sail or cruise around the Sunshine State, by getting your hands on nautical charts Florida.

These documents are equivalent to road maps for captains of boats. They are important for the safety of everyone one on-board. Regardless of trip duration, from a three hour tour off the Keys to a trip around the peninsula ending at New Orleans in the Gulf of Mexico, you really should have these documents with you on the boat.

If you are going to stay exclusively in the intracoastal waterway, you may not really need nautical charts Florida. Be sure to have a functioning depth gauge. There are many places where the depth is less than ten feet.

Don't let your propeller hit a rock, and always watch out for the playful and gentle manatees. It's such a sad thing when they get injured or killed. It's also senseless since most of the times it could be avoided by following the speed limit and being observant.

A boater really needs these maps just as much as a driver needs road maps when going on a long distance trip. Actually, the need is even greater for boaters. You can lose yourself much easier on the open sea than you can on a highway.

Having nautical charts Florida can keep you out of trouble on the open sea. At the very least, they can save you a lot of time. In some instances, they could even potentially save your life. Read more about: nautical charts florida

Advice On Florida Keys Map

By Gladys Holland


Navigating round the Florida Keys map is simple in the event you follow the singularly distinctive course plotting system. The specific locations are usually designated simply by markers regarding miles. Ending with Key Largo with Mile Sign 110 from your Key West on the Mile Sign 0, anything is found using the particular MM method.

Little Mile Marker signs in green on the maps designate the Overseas Highway. These are linked with the up and down Keys. This tells you exactly where you are positioned and number of miles are remaining before the destination can be reached. This method of locating everything with the Mile Marker enables people to orient themselves wherever they may be.

These really are a string associated with islands extending as much as 120 miles to the sea away from Florida. Northwards is the Gulf, and southwards is Atlantic Sea. The island destinations being really narrow as well as small primarily, the Highway Overseas may be the only street available. Nevertheless, the Large Pine Method, Marathon and also the Key Western, are bigger islands, in which the land bulk is bigger.

The roadmaps showing the actual extend as much as north as well as south will even show the actual ocean and also the bay attributes. To the real north tend to be tiny uninhabited islands plus they signify what may be called the rear country or even remote places, where there are practically absolutely no habitation.

Here, the back country represents the vast shallow waters that is dotted with plenty of mangroves mainly on the side of the bay. The flats fishermen ply their special boats in the shallow waters and catch bonefish, tarpon and permit, which are plentiful here.

In the actual west aspect, provided the map enables, gives a concept about the length of this Dry Tortugas. Nevertheless, close by about the Florida Keys map, may be the Marquesas that will give an excellent fishing chance. Read more about: florida keys map

Homemade Carp Boilies With The Best Big Fish Bait Ingredients!

By Tim Richardson


When catching more big carp is your goal it is vital you understand as much as possible about your fish and how they detect bait substances and how to use them to ensure fish want your baits again and again exploiting their own senses and behaviours against them to make them much easier to catch! It seems that when it comes to asking questions about bait, the majority of carp anglers today begin with questions about flavours, ingredients and so on without considering the fact that the true power is in understanding what carp are most sensitive to and why, and how to exploit this knowledge in bait-making to maximum effects! When you realise how much potential power you have over less knowledgeable more ignorant anglers by understanding vital aspects of fish senses, behaviours, substances sensitivities and so on, the ways you choose your baits and bait ingredients will never be the same again!

By beginning to making homemade baits by starting out by considering what carp are most sensitive to, this is far more likely to succeed than arbitrarily forming a list of ingredients you like the sound of or smell of personally! So many anglers just know the very basics about a carp and it is not surprising that relatively few anglers actually know why a bait or ingredient stimulates carp to take a bait into its mouth - and why some baits and ingredients are multiples of times more effective!



The majority of carp anglers in the UK and some other countries where carp fishing has become so commercialised, are dependant on expensive readymade carp boilies, pellets etc. You could say that the bait companies just want that trend to continue so they can extract as much money out of you as possible - after all, making customers dependant on products is one of the prime goals of those wanting to make big money but that gives them a huge amount of power over you which perhaps not too many of us can afford these days! When the price of readymade baits is the deciding factor in being able to afford to catch a few fish or even go fishing, you have to begin to wonder about making your own bait at vastly less cost with the chance to catch even more fish using your own baits with all the enormous satisfaction that brings!

Everyone has different limits in terms of their fishing resources so why let someone else fix what you spend on bait by them deciding the cost of their readymade baits when making your own is much more economical and affordable and just as productive if not even more so?! It is very easy to make certain that your own potently productive baits cost less than readymade baits. You need to have the knowledge to make sure that your cheap baits are potent in certain ways that guarantee success, and again this comes from having the right sufficient fish and bait knowledge to ask the right questions to keep on making your own totally reliably consistently successful baits!

So what kind of mistakes do beginners in bait-making do that can be avoided? Personally I have found that well over 80 percent of my own homemade readymade baits catch fish right from the first cast on a range of waters, (this has been over a period of 31 years.) Some waters really do require more specially designed baits for various reasons including the need to out-compete other baits or to avoid using bait ingredients and substances used previously, perhaps in many readymade baits, that fish are now feed too cautiously on or will avoid completely due to fear of being hooked!

Using personal preferences, second or third-hand opinions about baits and flavours etc, and most of all, using your human perceptions of bait substances as a guide to bait making is a common mistake of beginners. Why limit the success of your baits by getting personally involved by second-guessing what carp are sensitive to when you can discover all this in advance of making your baits and be certain all your bait substances in whatever combinations will be most effective? Focus on the fish first and you will think like a fish and not an angler (which is a very severely limited perspective!)



Many very effective bait substances appear not to initiate a response from carp when applied to water on their own, but applied in combination with other substances very definitely have powerful effects in either many obvious or just as often much more hidden more subtle internal ways that work over a period of time after baits have been eaten! Many bait substances are not even used to trigger feeding or to attract fish directly but can make baits more noticeable to fish or more palatable or make them much more habit-forming! I laugh when anglers refer to their favourite flavours in terms of describing their baits because it is often baits that smell of nothing discernible to us humans that can be the most productive for big wary fish!

Carp are constantly evolving individuals able to sense new substances to various degrees even if foreign to their aquatic environment and so are able to monopolise new potential food sources - something we can exploit to maximum effect to catch more fish! Carp an be conditioned to respond to our baits in similar ways to dogs being trained to behave in ways their owner wants by rewarding them with snacks and designing unique new baits to provide both instant and long-term rewards certainly can condition their behaviours in our unique favour when regularly applied as well as affecting their future taste and smell preferences etc! You can choose specific ingredients, additives and liquids etc to manipulate carp modes of feeding or condition senses or certain modes of behaviours or exploit or adapt preferences leading to many more bites on your baits compared to other baits, so it really pays to choose wisely and find out more!

A concise Outline Of Trout Angling

By David Griffiths


Some years back private estates managed angling for trout. These days trout fishing is accessible for just about every angler.

There are 3 forms of trout that could be caught within the Uk: brown trout, rainbow trout and sea trout.

The brown trout is located in quickly moving waters and in some lakes and reservoirs. They are able to grow to be huge examples attaining weights of about 9kg; nonetheless, the typical trout landed is a lot more likely to be about half a kilogram.

All trout have a distinctive speckled colouration but the brown trout can vary in colour. Dark, peaty water will contain dark fish and in clear water the trout will have a lighter colouration.

Rainbow trout are generally stocked in rivers and stillwaters and may be distinguished from brown trout by its pinkish sheen.

In rivers that hold salmon there are likely to be sea trout. Their behaviour is similar to salmon because they too return from the sea to spawn in freshwater. Sea trout tend to be more silver in colour than the brown trout and the rainbow trout.

There are three methods for catching trout.

Bait Fishing

A general-purpose rod fitted with a fixed-spool reel is the best choice for the angler new to bait fishing for trout. On the reel put on line of about 4lbs breaking strain and hooks of size 14 or 16 are suitable.

Float fishing and legering will catch trout and for both of these techniques there's a variety of bait:

Traditionally, worm has been the standard bait for successful trout fishing. Try lobworms dug from the garden or pick some redworms from the compost heap.

For quite a few trout anglers, maggots will be the bait to depend on. They're commonly obtainable from tackle shops and are straightforward to utilize. Maggots kept for several days will transform into casters. Caster is the term utilised by anglers to describe the chrysalis stage of the maggot's growth.

Casters are efficient bait for catching trout. Often, fish will ignore all other kinds of lure if casters are being presented.

SpinningTrout are aggressive and can strike and eat smaller fish. Spinners are produced from brightly coloured plastic or metal and are created to look like prey. They swivel and shake in the water when they're reeled in and this erratic motion stimulates the hunting impulse of trout.

For the beginner fisherman a Mepps spinner can be a great option simply because it works in deep or shallow water.

Fly Fishing

A number of anglers see flyfishing as the timeless way of taking trout and you can find two typical kinds of fly fishing: wet flyfishing and dry flyfishing.

Wet flies are hooks that have been wrapped with bright threads and tiny pieces of feather which are designed to imitate insects and creatures that form part of the trout's natural diet. They are called wet fly because they slowly sink. A wet fly that works well in rivers and streams is March Brown.

Dry flies are also hooks that have been wrapped with thread and feather but have been treated with a water repellent substance that prevents them from sinking. A popular dry fly, which can be used on rivers and stillwaters, is called Adams.

Traditional rods and reels aren't employed for fly fishing. A specific fly fishing rod and fly reel is necessary as well as fly line for your reel.

Tips

Try out flyfishing at twilight. Fly fishermen know this time of day as "the evening rise". Fish are lively and also the surface of the water is dimpled with rings produced by feeding fish.

Legering beneath overhanging trees is a good place to try because natural food is constantly dropping from branches and leaves.

Don't be in a hurry to lift the spinner out of the water because sometimes trout attack at the last possible moment.

What Are Trolling Motors? A Great New Tool For The Fisherman

By Trey Hodges


A fisherman must always have readily available on hand a secondary source of propulsion. It prepares him for anything including loss of power in the main engine. But if you ask any experienced fisherman the question - what are trolling motors?, he will say that it is a propulsion system that gives you the ability to move silently and hunt more fish.

A lot of trolling motors are electrically powered. Anyone would expect the motor to be gas powered but the battery powered device has been in existence since 1934. In that year, a patent was applied for an outboard motor using a powerful electric motor.

The way how a trolling motor works hasn't changed that much since it was invented. A powerful electric motor is directly connected to the propeller. In a gas powered outboard, the engine has to be above water. In a battery operated unit, the electric motor is thoroughly sealed so that it works completely immersed in water. The submerged design allows the propeller to be mounted directly on the motor's shaft thereby eliminating the complicated linkage typical of a gas powered outboard. The submerged design is also a way of cooling the main components of the drive.

An electric motor operates a lot quieter than gas powered engines. This is the reason why a battery powered trolling motor has stealth that is comparable to rowing. By being able to fish quietly, one can land more game and catch even the most elusive ones.

There are models of motors that are fully controllable while the owner is busy catching fish. These models have foot pedals that allow the owner to steer and adjust the motor's speed. The fisher has more opportunities of fishing with a foot controlled motor.

One can choose between a transom mounted and a bow mounted motor. If you have a smaller boat without plenty of room then a rear mounted design is more appropriate. For bigger boats, it is better to have bow mounted units because it is actually more maneuverable. However it is a more complicated design than a transom mounted unit.

It is advantageous to be able to move quietly as needed when fishing. So to answer what are trolling motors?, it makes a fisher able to move stealthily and easily steer the boat. When one's hands are busy operating the fishing rod, pedal controls make it possible to fully control the boat with the feet.

There's Loads Of Joy To Be Found With Guatemala Sportfishing

By Ben Pate


Anglers beware. If you love to fish and you enjoy the wonders of Central America, you might become addicted to Guatemala sportfishing. Many are familiar with the geography of Guatemala. It is surrounded by the Caribbean, the Pacific Ocean, Belize, Mexico, the Honduras and El Salvador. Fewer people are aware that it is the best place in the world for sailfish, black marlin, tuna, and more.

Marlin Fishing

Tackling something like a marlin can be the favorite fantasy of many fishermen. They're huge, weighing many hundreds of pounds and they're fighters. Many use rigged dead bait and cause it to swim or skip across the water. There are others who use live bait because it can be very attractive to smaller marlin. However, with live bait, it's a good idea to make sure you don't end up with a shark on the line.

Tuna Fishing

Tuna is quite popular, too, because as they grow older they become quite large. Sit for a moment and picture yourself with a 400-pound tuna on the line,flipping and thrashing. Then imagine that you are more determined than the fish and before you know it, you might have a story to tell that will beat anything that people read in fiction.

Boat And Lodging Packages

In Guatemala, you'll be able to find packages for boats and Guatemala sportfishing lodges that are completely centered around sportfishing. Everything from the boat to all necessary equipment will be supplied and all you'll need to do is show up and fish.

Fishing the Waters Off St Maarten/St Martin Island in the Caribbean

By Stephen Daniels


Those who are looking for fun things to do on their St. Maarten vacation (that is, if relaxing in the sun, snorkeling, sailing, shopping, and enjoying world-class food and drink are not enough) may want to seriously consider hiring a boat and taking to the ocean for some deep-sea fishing. Those in the know report that sport fishing off the coast of this placid Caribbean wonderland is easily some of the best to be found in this part of the world, and there are plenty of charter services that can get you all set up with the right gear, and offer you your best chance of hauling in a real trophy.

Just off the coast of the St. Maarten/St Martin island is the famous St Maarten and St Barths Drop-Off. The depth of the water goes from 134 feet to 1000 feet in just a short distance. Thanks to the island's placement near "The Ledge", some of the sea's biggest game-such as Mahi-Mahi, Kingfish, Marlin, Sailfish, Snappers, Black fin Tuna, and yes, even Shark are present and able to be fished.

To get out to where these monsters are patrolling the waters, you'll need to hire an experienced and professional charter boat and crew who know where the fish are, how to catch them, and can get you all rigged up and ready for action. The cost of the license is generally included in the charter fee, so no need to concern yourself about that detail. Also, most of the charters will provide light snacks, water, and other drinks while you are on board. All you need to do is get properly dressed and SPF-ed up for a day in the sun and get ready for an adventure you won't soon forget. And don't forget your camera so you can capture a memory shot of the big one that "didn't get away."

Of course, if you're looking for other fish, or have children along and don't want to overwhelm them with the "monsters," this little island faces both the Caribbean and the Atlantic Oceans where a full range of smaller and more easily landed fish are available as well.

Pricing for these trips depends on whether you go out for half a day (four hours) or for a whole-day trip (six - eight hours), and the number of people on the trip. As far as what you are allowed to do with your catch, it is important to note that for some species such as sailfish and marlin, a strict catch and release policy is in effect, and on many boats, the fish that aren't released are usually considered the property of the charter company. If you think you might want to keep any of your fish, you can and should discuss it beforehand with your guides so there will be no surprises. In most cases, the captain will, at the very least, filet your catch and send you off with enough food for a great dinner.

Of course, if you're looking for other fish, or have children along and don't want to overwhelm them with the "monsters," this little island faces both the Caribbean and the Atlantic Oceans where a full range of smaller and more easily landed fish are available as well. Some families will rent small boats, or even fish from piers or go fly fishing along the shore or inland waters to see what they can land.

Finally, for those who have rented an ocean front villa, you might be able to fish from the patio, on the beach or off the rocks near your villa. You would have to bring your own equipment in this case, but you wouldn't have to share any of your catch with a boat captain.

For those who prefer not to fish, there is a wonderful fish market in Simpson Bay that sells the daily catch from local fishermen. The market in Marigot also has fresh fish for sale.

With year-round sunny weather (not counting the occasional rain squall) fishing, whether deep sea, from a pier or small boat near shore, or from your patio, fishing is just one more adventure to be had on your St Maarten vacation. Be sure to check with the hosts or concierge services at your St Martin resort or villa. They usually have some excellent recommendations.

Fishing Tackle: The Fundamentals Needed for Fishing

To begin with the basic parts of fishing gear that are necessary are the pole, the line, the hook, and the sinker. Concerning the pole, it nearly always is crafted from carbon or bamboo and the line is attached to an end of it. The hook and sinker are connected to the reverse end of this line. The sinker - a tiny weight, holds the hook beneath the water.

To control the depth of the hook, you will need a float, which is a hollow, ball-shaped gadget fitted above the hook and sinker. Up-to-date floats are generally fashioned from hollow plastic. You don’t have to have reel, but if you want to advance in your fishing, it would benefit you to add a reel to your angling gear.

Punta Abreojos is a Surfers Secret

By Robert Nickel


On the northern end of the Baja California Sur peninsula is the municipality of Mulege. On one of the western most points of the municipality is the little fishing village called Punta Abreojos. As the village sits relatively unsheltered at the edge of the Pacific Ocean, the people there experience a great amount of ocean winds from the north, south and west. Punta Abreojos is not located near the main veins of travel; in fact the road going to the village does not pass through to any other location. Therefore there is very little chance of anyone discovering Punta Abreojos by accident.

As of the 2010 census there were just 788 permanent residents in Punta Abreojos. There is an airstrip just inland of the village, and is primarily used for bringing in fishing and surfing tourists. The geographical location of Punta Abreojos is such that diverse sets of winds can come in from a few directions. The huge expanse of the Pacific Ocean at the foot of the village combines with the winds to create the perfect setting for some pretty incredible swells. It is a surfer's paradise, made even more so because it hasn't become well known yet.

If this sounds like the perfect spot to catch some waves, bear in mind that Punta Abreojos is relatively untouched by the tourism industry. It is an authentic Mexican fishing village, so there are no resorts or hotels. There are a couple of rooms for rent in town, plus a few cabins at a campsite just a few minutes down the road. There is a single restaurant situated on the lagoon, and the food will be wholly authentic. If you are not of Latin descent, prepare to be in the minority. You will be treated with generosity and respect, if you reciprocate.

If surfing isn't your thing, but the activities of a real Mexican fishing village are intriguing, then book a day trip to Punta Abreojos. In the early afternoon the fishermen begin arriving back at the shore with their catch. Park yourself on the seawall and watch as they unload the beautiful fish and crustaceans only found in the southern Pacific Ocean. The experience will be a glimpse into the way things used to be done 100 years ago, and truly memorable.

Punta Abreojos is not for those easily bored or looking for entertainment. The little fishing village is for those with a deep appreciation for nature, history and culture. Surfers seeking that perfect wave will treasure this newly found secret spot. Explorers will love the village's authenticity. Environmentally minded travelers will be comforted by the untouched natural beauty.

Fishing Rods and Reels and Fishing Lures

By Sachin Kumar Airan


Fishing has been a favorite hobby and sport for many. There is something relaxing about fishing that just can't really be put into words. It doesn't matter if its bass fishing, ice fishing, or fresh water fishing, the entire experience is just amazing. It's not really just about catching the largest fish either. It's the entire experience from beginning to end. For example, the act of hooking your bait on the fishing line can be great. How many times have you cast and feel a bump all of a sudden, then BAM! You attempt to set your hook but you miss that fish completely. Can you relate? Of course, it happens all the time.

Most people can't figure out why they keep missing the fish. Pre-setting the hook is a lot harder than it looks. Lots of people throw in a top water lure, and then see a fish jumping on it; they jerk the rod and still miss the fish. There are specific times that warrant certain baits to use and also require setting the hook immediately. There are also other times when you don't want to preset the hook too fast.

Fishing is probably the most exciting of all sports, at least in some people's minds. Top water fishing is one of the more amazing forms of fishing. One of the most commonly used baits is the Zara Spook. This is probably one of the best bass fishing baits you can use. Many people throw this into the water and immediately see a fish jumping on it. They then try to immediately set the hook and miss the fish. The key to improving is patience. If you let the fish take the bait and then take your time and wait until you notice enough pressure from the fish, before you preset the hook, then you won't lose as many fish. This method can be applied to almost all top water baits you're using. This includes floating worms, jerk baits, prop baits, poppers, and the Zara Spook.

Here at Premium Fishing, we strive to offer quality fishing supplies and we want to do our best so you can have the most amazing fishing experience ever. Our website is like a candy store for fishing enthusiasts. We carry fishing hooks, lines, baits, gloves, rods, and more. We have a super-fast courier service and most of our items come with a twelve month warranty. We have over one hundred thousand items that we ship worldwide.

Carp Fishing Tackle: The Right Equipment to Purchase for Successful Carp Fishing

By Jim Hammers


Carp fishing in the UK is ever-increasing in popularity|Carp fishing is an extremely popular sport or leisure activity in the UK|Fishing for carp in the UK is becoming quite a trend|More and more people in the UK are choosing carp fishing as a favourite hobby. Fishing for carp, the same as fishing for any other category of fish, includes being able to withstand bad weather.

In order to be prepared and successful with your carp fishing escapade, you must purchase your gear from a company which offers an extensive line of superior tackle deliberated especially for this type of fishing. With the assistance of the Internet and meticulousness in carp fishing tackle comparison, you should be able to find the premium fishing equipment it takes for a lot of enjoyable and profitable years as a carp angler. Here is some insight into the various pieces of fishing gear needed for carp fishing.

Carp Fishing Tackle: Which Rod is the Appropriate Choice?



What type carp fishing rod you should select will be reliant upon the venues where your fishing escapade will take place. For example, a lightweight fishing rod of approximately 1.5 - 2.0 lb test curve is the ideal thing for angling in little estate lakes as the carp there will probably be under or right at 15 lbs. But, in bigger venues, where you will be doing distant casting, you probably need a three pound test curve. Plus, you must consider the action of the carp rod; these are accessible in 3 types: fast taper tip action which works for excessively long distance casting, where you cast heavy weights a lengthy distance, medium tip action for rather long, but not terribly long distances, and all through action which works better for close in and short distance fishing.



Carp Fishing Tackle: What About Your Reel?



Your fishing rod and reel, naturally, ought to be a perfect match. The vital factors are the casting distance, the line strength, and the diameter of the line. The reel needs to be able to hold enough line. When making carp fishing tackle decisions, you have to harmonise your reel to the actual rod you will be employing. A fantastic option would be a baitrunner reel.

If you are going to be using a couple of fishing rods and expect a long wait for a run, you simply can't keep your attention on the gear without looking away. What this means is you should have a fishing reel that will let a carp pull the line liberally before the strike; or a considerably weighty carp may pull your rod and your reel all the way into the water. Of course, you could open the bail arm; however, this is easier said than done on a breezy day. You should have a baitrunner so that, with the bail arm closed, the line can still be gently, without a lot of tension, pulled out from the spool.



Carp Fishing Tackle: Regarding the Line



Line used for carp angling is dependent upon the reel and what sort of fishing you are engaging. Just multiply the test curve of the carp rod by 5 to get an idea of the line weight you must have.



Carp angling with the appropriate carp fishing tackle is an exciting way to spend your leisure time.
