Catching Bluefish for Tuna Bait

By Captain Ryan Collins


Apart from stormy weather conditions, capturing, hauling and stowing fresh live bait was just about the most complicated giant tuna obstacle for my crew last season. I am happy to say that to date this fall, the news on the live bait fishing front is far more encouraging.

Last weekend I trailered the Miss Loretta all the way down Cape to Lewis Bay, south of the Hyannis Marina. My fishing colleague had put together a pogie and bluefish run in Lewis earlier in the week, and found many ideal size bluefish hunting 5 in. juvenile pogies. Our expectations had been set high for a successful bait excursion.

I was happy to find that, the open public boat ramp at Lewis Bay is magnificent. It's a concrete ramp, with a perfectly conditioned newly constructed dock in addition to a great deal of open area to operate a pickup and trailers. Moreover, there was no service fee. I am betting free of cost entry was in fact a post-Labor Day miracle, and most likely isn't the norm at Lewis Bay. Anyway, I'm not complaining!

Promptly after searching all-around we located the biomass of blues stacked up in 7-18 ft of h2o. The pods of snapper and rat blues relocated up and down the channel edge, but there ended up being so many of them, to the point that when we lost track of them, it did not take long for us to zone back in. The fastest action took place as soon as the current started moving in. The fishing slowed down very quickly as soon as the tide started to come to a halt, at just about noon time.

We put up with a large amount of 4-8 inch bluefish which are just too small to use as giant tuna bait. Even so, for virtually every dozen unersize blues we hooked, we caught one longer blue-suitable for flying under the kite. It was evident that that anytime we found a tight school of small bunker, there were bigger blues in the 12-18 inch range underneath them.

Best lure for the very tiny bluefish was a gold 1in. Kastmaster. This small metal lure casts extremely well on 6 pound line, and hooks the blues particularly well. Best lure for for the bigger blues was the 3in. floating, blue Yo-Zuri Crystal Minnow.

I'm really hoping that this spot will end up infiltrated with juvenile bluefish over the next few weeks. It'd be amazing to maintain a solid location for tuna bait. Even if we've got to trek a fair distance to make it there.

How to catch striped bass by applying the 15 minute rule.

By Bert Williams


I use the fifteen min. rule usually when striped bass are shoaling, or distributed amongst a large expanse of water. Possibly I am observing striped bass which are suspended in deep water, or possibly the striped bass are hunting along a lengthy length of beachfront. Either way, when fish are spread out over a big area, the 15 Minute Rule has established itself as an useful technique for producing a productive trolling pattern.

Upon marking just 1 striped bass I will immediately put lines in the water. I will commence trolling in a particular direction, nearly always parallel to the beach front. That way I troll down the depth that I marked that 1st striped bass.

I will next troll for fifteen min's, keeping a close eye on the fish finder the whole time. If after 15 minutes I have not lured a bite, hooked a striper, or marked more bass on the sonar, I continue my search parallel to the shore along the same depth contour until I commence noticing stripers again.

If I do capture a striped bass in the course of the first fifteen min's, attract a strike, or mark more striped bass on the fish finder, then my fifteen minute countdown is reset to zero. In the past, a normal scenario I've stumbled upon is finding an expanse of water, around a 1 mile in total, that's contained striped bass along the complete length. The water to the east, west, north and south of this stretch of water frequently contain no striped bass at all.

The 15 min. rule can help me to distinguish the productive stretch of water in the following way.

Let's say I've already been hooking bass consistently on the troll for the past half hour. Throughout the last 30 minutes I have trolled a relatively straight line eastward through a 1/2 mile expanse of water. It's now been 15 minutes since I have enticed a bass, enticed a bite, and marked anything on my sonar-implying that I have arrived at the end of the striped bass-filled expanse of water.

The following action is going to be to reel the lines in, and cruise west, back to where I began marking, and reeling in fish. I'd maintain a close eye on my sonar while cruising, remembering any bass marks that may show up.

If I mark bass on my westward cruise to where I first started marking striped bass then fantastic, the stripers are still swimming along the exact same expanse of water. This is the perfect situation, specifically for folks just learning how to catch striped bass.

Surely there will be those moments when I don't mark striped bass during the trek westward. And on cruising over a mile west of the first spot where I primarily started seeing stripers, I will still fail to find any stripers on the sonar. In circumstances like this I'd preclude that the biomass of striped bass has swum either shallower or deeper. I'd then move into shallower or deeper water and begin a new search.

Beyond doubt, knowing how to locate striped bass with consistency is the very first phase to understanding how to catch striped bass.

Trout Angling Suggestions To Help You Catch More Fish

By Harriet Domingo Xavier


Someone who's accomplished at trout fishing can make it look simple, but there are many factors you have to pay attention to if you want to catch lots of trout. The trout may pass you by unnoticed unless you are using the right type of bait and lure; the weather also plays a large factor. To catch more trout, or at least to learn how, continue reading this article.

Trout fishing is a favorite pastime, but it is often forgotten that the word "Trout" refers to several different varieties. Different types of trout are found across Northern America, each living in diverse waters and having a variety of appearances. Of the many species of trout, rainbow trout are very popular because of their outward appearance. These trout often inhabit fast moving waters, and they're a favorite of fly fishermen. For instance, Brooktrout from the Char family are not technically trout, but are still called Trout regardless. Around the world, brown trout can be found in a variety of locations. Lake Michigan is known to have some especially large brown trout.

Find out when the trout are awake and bustling about and go fishing at those times. Here's a clue. Trout food is mainly insects. So, trout are more apt to be active at the same time that the insects are most active. If you've ever been outdoors around dusk, you will recognize this as a time when the insects start swarming around. This can vary based on the climate and time of year, of course. Look for trout to feed while the weather is still cool in the early morning if the daytime temperatures have been extremely hot. You should also make your bait match the weather conditions. During and after rain, earthworms are washed into the water and you can use these as bait at these times. Small, flying insects such as crickets and grasshoppers land in the water when it's windy. If you use these as bait during windy weather you will probably have better luck. You won't be far off the mark if you use bait that is comparable to what the fish are eating in the wild.

When you venture into a new region to try your hand at trout fishing, make yourself familiar with whatever fishing regulations are in place for the area. Every state offers a fishing license. Get one for the state where you will be fishing. Even though most trout fishing is done in what appears to be wilderness areas, some of it may be private property. Don't make the mistake of trespassing. Different areas have fishing restrictions to protect their fish populations, so make sure you read a copy of these important restrictions. It's important to protect the area from being over fished. This can be problematic in some locations. When an area gets over fished, it's bad for future fishers and the local economy.

There's so much more you can learn about trout fishing if you just look around. This report has just barely given you a head start on successful trout fishing. However, with the information presented here, you will be off to a good start with your trout fishing efforts. A brief analysis of the factors and results of each trip is a good idea. Try different kinds of gear, fishing spots, times of day, types of bait, etc and find out what brings you the best results.

Just like some other recreational sports, the better your equipment is, the more productive you will be. Many people discover that getting a personal loan is perfect for getting better angling gear. Check with the local bank to find out more.

Understanding Why Monofilament Fishing Line Is So Great

By Berta Simon


Monofilament fishing line is made from synthetic string, which is the modern solution to what previous people were forced to use natural fibers for. The mono- prefix indicates that it is not made by braiding multiple strands, or by twisting fibers and is true for virtually every natural material, from cotton to wool to hemp fiber.

Monofilament is made from plastic, although premium spools might use a special formula, or be made from materials such as nylon or Kevlar.

Unbroken plastic threads have many uses, and are employed in fiber optic technology and telecommunications. The average person is most accustomed to its use in angling, and of course it is superior to natural fiber in almost every way. Before plastic and the machinery to create a uniform thread, the only option was metal wire or string.

While many natural materials such as flax and hemp are strong, they must be thick in order to withstand the tugging of large game. Natural threads also have more friction than monofilament, which made casting and tying fishing knots more difficult.

Monofilament fishing line has a smooth surface, and can be much thinner and lighter than natural threads. Fishermen agree this is the way to go. The smooth surface allows for a much easier release from the spool, since friction is reduced. The thin and uniform size can fit into the holes of the tiniest baits. Made from clear plastic, it is nearly invisible in the water and also creates fewer vibrations. Surprisingly thin plastic can withstand a fighting fish that weighs much more than its rating.

One special property of plastic not present in natural fiber is its elasticity. Plastic thread can stretch, and this is what allows a tiny strand to endure the brutal tugging of a fighting bass. A monofilament can handle stress in excess of its rating. While stretching can cause permanently warping, it is a better option than losing a fish. It can be cut away and replaced, since it is inexpensive.

What Is Needed Before You Go On A Fishing Adventure

By Norman O. Lowry


Fishing has been an activity that people have taken part in for centuries. Enjoying the outdoors and catching a fish are two experiences unrivaled by other hobbies. Even though this is an ancient sport, people are always coming up with new techniques and equipment to improve it even more. Here are some guidelines that you can use in improving your fishing.

Make sure you know the upper weight limits of your boat before you go into deep water to fish. A fun fishing trip can go awry quick if your boat sinks. If you stay below the maximum weight for the vessel, you will be following the proper safety guidelines and ensure a safe trip.

If you lose your patience while fishing, take a break and move around about once each hour. This will allow you not to get frustrated and you will also have the benefit of observing new scenery. Hopefully, you will find a nice fishing spot!

The best fisherman is a patient and optimistic one. Sometimes fishing can be extremely frustrating; negative attitudes can ruin your experience. Don't get frustrated if you've gone a while without a bite.

Know what to expect from the weather before fishing. There will be days where the weather just doesn't permit for good fishing. The best sky to fish under is overcast. Although you could catch fish even in other weather conditions, you're a lot more likely to reel in fish when there's an overcast sky.

Learn how to cast before trying to do fly fishing; this skill is the core of this type of fishing. If the weather is not good enough to go fishing or if you do not have enough time, cast your line to practice. You might be lucky enough to catch a fish despite the conditions!

If you are reeling in a big fish that turns in the other direction, let it go. Your line isn't long enough at this point to reel it in. Next time this happens, give it a little more time before you reel in the fish.

Think about what you're doing when you pick out your bait. Nothing can be worse than spending all day fishing and coming home with nothing. So try to figure out what bait will work best for the type of fish you are trying to catch. A Northern Pike is not likely to want the same thing as a trout. If you use the appropriate bait for the type of fish you are trying to catch you naturally are more likely to succeed in your goal.

Whenever you are fishing, keep in mind that total silence brings the best result. Fish are easily spooked by loud noises. Loud talking is not the only source of noise. The sound of vehicles or shuffling through a tackle box will shoo them away as well.

Use natural currents for your own advantage. If you spot a current while you're fishing, just go with it. Place a lure in this current and pull on it softly regularly to attract fishes passing by. You may catch more fish this way.

If you happen upon a hot spot and are getting a lot of bites, you should switch to larger lures to entice the larger of the group of fish. The bigger fish tend to go after larger lures or bait. If you're getting a lot of bites go for something a little larger!

Do not pick the most costly gear on the market as a novice fisherman. Pricey gear is just not necessary, and will not make you enjoy the sport more or help you catch any more fish. Gear that is within your budget will help you to feel more at ease with the time you are fishing.

Stream fishermen should always direct their casts upstream, allow the current to present the bait to your targeted fish. Doing so makes the bait look much more natural. This increases the chances of a bite. Don't allow for too much slack to be left in the water.

Take a camera with you to take pictures of fish you catch and release so people will believe you when they ask you about your fishing accomplishments. This ensures that you will be able to show everyone your catch and the fish lives.

Pay attention to the surroundings. It is important to your success to pay attention to everything around you. Take the time to settle in before quietly casting your line. You should notice the speed and direction of the wind, the water and air temperature and any wildlife around you. Even the presence or absence of other wildlife can help you locate your targeted species.

Go with an experienced fishermen if you are a novice or are trying to learn a new style of fishing. An experienced fisherman can give you great tips and also keep you safe by showing you how to avoid dangerous situations.

Study the species that are known to live in the waters you fish in. This will help you to identify the ideal type of bait for each catch. Good techniques and lures will do nothing if no fish are attracted.

To catch larger fishes, try using more bait or a bigger lure. Sometimes people overlook this even though it seems like common sense. Big fish will find bigger bait to be more appealing. Small fish are less likely to go toward large lures and bait, so big fish are more likely to be caught!

As you now know, fishing involves lots of different aspects and skills. Fish appeals to many because it can be simple and yet varied in the demands it places on your skills. Use the tips above to help plan your next fishing trip, and see how enjoyable your day will be when you come home with your big catch.

Finding and Catching Small Bluefish on Cape Cod

By Ben Johannsen


Except for bad striped bass fishing weather conditions, procuring, hauling and stocking fresh live bait was probably the most demanding giant tuna challenge for myself and my crew this past year. I am thrilled to say that so far this autumn, the latest on the live bait front is far more encouraging.

This past week I headed the Miss Loretta straight down Cape Cod to Lewis Bay, due south of the Hyannis Marina. My striped bass fishing buddy had performed a tuna bait run in Lewis previously in the week, and seen a number of perfect length blues molesting 2 in. young menhaden. Our expectations were certainly set high for a productive giant tuna bait venture.

To my surprise, the open public fishing boat launch at Lewis Bay is spectacular. It's a concrete ramp, with a perfectly modern pier in addition to loads of room to operate a pickup truck and trailer. Moreover, there was no charge. I am speculating free of cost admittance was a post-Labor Day miracle, and most likely is not standard at Lewis Bay. Anyway, I'm not complaining!

Subsequently, after searching about we came across the motherload of bluefish stacked up in 7-18 ft . of water. The pods of bluefish moved from spot to spot, but there ended up being so many bluefish, to the point that when we lost track of them, it did not take very long for us to move around quickly find them again. Best action developed soon after the tide began going in. The good fishing died down pretty quickly after the tide began to come to a halt, close to noon time.

We put up with lots of extremely tiny blues that are just not big enough to employ as bait for bluefins. Even so, for every dozen snappers we captured, we caught one longer bluefish-fantastic for giant tuna bait. It turned out that when ever we found a tight school of small pogies, we found larger bluefish in the vicinity.

Hot lure for the tiny blues was a bronze colored 1in. metal spoon. This small metal lure casts very easily when paired with very light tackle, and catches very well. Top lure for the larger blues was the 3in. floating, blue Yo-Zuri Crystal Minnow.

I'm in reality praying that this area will end up infiltrated with juvenile blues throughout the fall. It would be wonderful to find a reliable location for tuna bait. Whether or not we have to trek a lttle bit to find the bluefish.

How to catch striped bass using the 15 min. rule.

By Captain Ryan


I employ the fifteen min. rule frequently when bass are shoaling, or disseminated within a big expanse of water. Perhaps I'm noticing striped bass which might be suspended in deep water, or perhaps they are on the feed alongside a extensive expanse of beach front. Either way, when stripers are spread out within a significant area, the fifteen min. Rule has established itself as an useful strategy for establishing a good trolling pattern.

After marking even just 1 striped bass I will then put lines in the water. I'll commence trolling in a chosen direction, virtually always parallel to the shore. By doing this I troll along the depth that I marked that original bass.

I'll then troll for fifteen minutes, retaining a close eye on the sonar the entire time. If after fifteen minutes I haven't lured a bite, captured a striper, or seen any more stripers on the fish finder, I resume my search parallel to the seashore along the same depth till I start seeing stripers once more.

If I do capture a striped bass during the first 15 minutes, entice a hit, or mark more stripers on the fish finder, then my 15 min. time is reset. Recently, an average circumstance I have encountered is locating an expanse of water, approximately a one mile in length, that has held bass along the complete length. The areas to the east, west, north and south of this stretch of ocean oftentimes consist of no life at all.

The fifteen minute rule helps me to differentiate the fish-filled expanse of ocean in the following manner.

Let's say I've recently been catching bass consistently on the troll for the previous 1/2 hr. Throughout the past half hour I've trolled a fairly straight direction east through a half mile expanse of ocean. It's now been 15 min's since I have enticed a striped bass, enticed a bite, and marked anything at all on my fish finder-implying that I have come to the conclusion of the fishy stretch of water.

The following action would be to reel the lines in, and cruise westward, returning to where I started marking, and catching fish. I would maintain a close eye on my sonar while driving, noticing any bass marks that may arise.

If I mark striped bass on my westerly trek back to where I first began noticing striped bass then terrific, the fish are still swimming along the identical expanse of water. This is the perfect scenario, particularly for fishermen just learning how to catch striped bass.

Without doubt there will be those times when I do not mark stripers during the trek westward. And on cruising over a mile west of the initial area where I primarily commenced marking stripers, I'll still fail to mark any life on the sonar. In circumstances like this I'd preclude that the biomass of stripers has moved either shallower or deeper. I'd then motor into shallower or deeper water and start a new search pattern.

Fishing Tips Anyone Can Use To Catch Dinner

By Norman O. Lowry


Is fishing something you want to do, but are unsure how? Well, that's no problem, as fishing is easy to learn. No matter what your level of experience and skill, you can enjoy fishing because it is fun on a variety of levels. Read on to gain some insights about what will work for your own skill level.

A lot of fishers use a device known as a depth finder. Aside from the obvious, depth finders also make it easier to gauge the appropriate depth at which fishermen should sink their lures. This is judged according to the relative temperature of the water at each depth.

If you happen upon a hot spot and are getting a lot of bites, you should switch to larger lures to entice the larger of the group of fish. Big fish are much more likely to pursue a large lure, so if you're getting a great deal of bites, increase the size of your lure.

Stay calm when you have a fish on your line. The fish will probably fight, so do not attempt to bring the fish by reeling or you might break your rod. Set your drag then wait until the fish tires out so that you can just reel it in with gentle ease.

If you begin to get a lot of bites in a specific area, it's a sign that you'll soon be attracting larger fish, and that you should begin using larger bait. The bigger fish tend to go after larger lures or bait. If you're getting a lot of bites go for something a little larger!

Don't ever litter the area while fishing. Fish will stay away from areas of water that have trash or debris. You'll hurt your chances of actually catching fish, as well as harm the environment.

Weather conditions can make your fishing trip enjoyable or miserable. Before fishing, check out the weather predictions. Check the weather often in the days leading up to your outing. You shouldn't hesitate to reschedule a fishing excursion if the weather doesn't permit it.

Grubs work well in a wide variety of places. You can use a wide variety of bait to try to get your catch, however grubs are things that have been used and proven to work for years. Grubs can be found in many locations and a variety of fish love to eat them, so consider them if your current bait is failing.

Sharp hooks are crucial for the successful fisherman. If it can lightly scratch your fingernail when dragged across it then it is good enough to use. If not, you will have to replace it or sharpen it to catch fish.

If you plan to take children out to fish with you be sure to consider their safety first and foremost. Make sure they don't try things out that could danger them like hooking bait before they know how it's done. Instead, tell them that attaching bait is dangerous, and that only grown-ups can do it. Let your kids watch while you bait your hook.

Practice is advised for any fly fisherman. Casting a fly rod is a fairly complicated technique that must be practiced over and over to be perfected. The more time you spend casting, the easier it will be for you to do it right the first time.

All the best fishing equipment and techniques are useless without patience. Fishing will require your undivided time and dedication when you are out on the water. Don't allow yourself to get irritated or you won't enjoy your trip.

Prepare yourself with knowledge regarding your choice catch before heading out the door. Knowing that variety of fish's tendencies will give you the best chance of success. While fish are not excessively intelligent, they are also not completely stupid. Lessen their chances of escape with research.

Grubs make good bait. While there are a variety of baits on the market, grubs should be a staple of your bait choices. Common grubs work in many different types of fishing, so try them if your chosen bait is not giving you the results you hoped for.

To keep the organs and other fish parts from stinking up your house, after cleaning, bury them in your yard. Just be warned that if you have a digging pet, this solution could turn into a bigger problem when your dog or cat becomes very curious about your yard.

Choose barbless single hooks if you want to return the fish to the water after you catch them. The use of these types of hooks will ensure the hook can be safely removed from the fish.

How To Choose The Right Mustad Fish Hooks

By Berta Simon


Mustad is one of the oldest and best known suppliers of hooks in the world. They produce fishing equipment for both saltwater and freshwater conditions. They make many different shapes, styles, and sizes of hook and each has a different purpose. The following guide will give you an idea of which Mustad fish hooks to choose depending on where and what you are fishing.

The size of the hook you choose will depend mostly on the species you are trying to catch. Not just its overall length but also the width of its mouth. Some species are wary of a large, clearly visible hook and may require a smaller style. The size will also need to be suitable for the bait that you use.

If you are fishing in saltwater then your equipment will probably have to be stainless steel to withstand the corrosive environment. The stainless metal is also less likely to rust in your tackle box. The down side of a stainless steel hook, however, is that it is slightly softer, it will not stay sharp as long, and it may cost more.

Different barb types achieve different objectives. If you intend to release your catch, then go for a barbless hook as these will do the least damage. For a hard mouthed species choose a knife edged point. Needle points work well for most species and allow quick and easy penetration.

Some anglers use a double or treble hook to improve their hooking and holding capabilities. However, they cause significant damage to the animal and sometimes even the fisherman. If you are interested in catching and releasing then do not use this type.

There are hundreds of hook designs available on the market. The more suitable the one you choose, the more likely you are to be successful. Mustad fish hooks are among the most highly trusted in the angling community. mustad fish hooks

How to Locate a Superb Fishing Spot

By Cap. Steven Morris


Prior to placing a tube in the water, the most critical choice an fisherman can make is determining the place to fish.

There are lots of areas around Cape Cod that are suitable for trolling tubes. The rips of Chatham, the rocks down along the Elizabeth Islands, and the deep waters of Cape Cod Bay quickly spring to mind.

It's difficult to beat a properly trolled tube and worm during the peak of a Cape Cod summer. Nevertheless one slip-up that many anglers make is devoting too much time trolling through an area that does not hold any life. Trolling tubes has a natural propensity to put anglers to sleep-literally. It is particularly easy to just set the rods in the holders, and troll along for an entire afternoon, looking to come across a nice school of fish.

Kicking back and relaxing is good, but it is absolutely not the most productive approach to fish the tube and worm. A way more proactive approach is often necessary to find a prime spot with a lot of life. Spending more time traveling around, and less time with lines in the water, will often result in more bass hitting the decks.

If this seems odd to you, give Developing a Strategy for Finding Big Fish a read through, to get a better understanding of what I mean.

Picking an Effective Tube and Depth to Troll

Once a spot holding stripers is located, we are able to then work towards discovering the most productive depth, tube length, and tube color to troll. The easiest way to do this is thru a process of elimination.

I may typically troll three tubes when tube and worm trolling. The first tube is trolled off the center of the Miss Loretta, as the other tubes are trolled from the port and starboard sides. All three tubes are trolled by means of leadcore fishing line.

If bass are being marked throughout the water column, then my normal decision would be to put the port and starboard lines at a certain depth (say five colors) and maintain the line running along the center at a different depth (say three colors).

Tube color and length depends upon the situation. The important idea to comprehend is that it is very important to alter your tube spread in accordance with the reaction you are getting from the bass.

As an example, if bass consistently take the 24 inch red tube from the center line (which was set at three colors) then it could make sense to alter the 30 inch orange tube that was running on the starboard line to a 24 inch red tube. Switching the starboard line to a depth of three colors instead of five colors might not be a bad idea either.

Night Fishing Cape Cod for Big Stripers

By Captain Ryan


Fishing the Cape Cod Canal after dark can be a unique and sometimes downright spooky experience. There is absolutely no scarcity of intriguing characters, critters and strange noises down the rip-rap once the sun sets. Even so if you'd like to radically increase your likelihood of catching an immense striper from the Big Ditch, then fishing the Cape Cod Canal during the night may well indeed be right up your alley.

The night time angling in the Canal really starts to produce with the coming of the very first keeper-size striped bass. Typically by the end of May huge stripers have settled inside the Canal-this is when the night fishing really starts to first start. At this point of the season, night time outings are typically hit or miss proposition as major packs of striped bass travel through the land cut right into Cape Cod Bay. Put simply, you might land big fish one evening and then not even generate a single bite the following trip. As soon as the next wave of large stripers moves in via Buzzard's Bay the night fishing switches on just as before.

By the end of June and early July the night time fishing will become much more consistent. The greater part of the striper population has settled firmly into their summer season haunts, which makes Cape Cod Canal fishing a bit less hit or miss. It is highly possible to catch significant fish any night of the week, if of course you can zone in on the most productive fishing spots.

Nearly all of the stripers which are captured at night are taken on bait, jigs and subsurface lures. Traveling up and down the bike path, hunting for busting striped bass is obviously not an option. Having a solid understanding of the best locations and tides is far more vital when fishing the Canal in the evening then when fishing in the daytime.

The the vast majority of huge stripers hooked through the night are taken out of holes, rips and near sections of structure. Fishing these regions will radically boost your prospects of tying into a keeper sized striped bass.

Bumping jigs directly on the bottom in these spots, or swimming a lure or eel through a rip is a surefire means to catch the attention of a big bass. A lot of Canal fishermen opt to cast artificial lures when the tide is running, then turn to live or chunk bait during slack. A handful of the largest stripers ever captured in the Canal have been hooked on a piece of bait fished on the bottom during the course of a nightime slack tide.

Contingent on what the fish elect to do, autumn at the Cape Cod Canal may be either excellent or discouraging. If a bio-mass of stripers decides to move through the Canal on their migration south, then the fishing at the Canal will be excellent. But if the main body of fish decides to swim around outter Cape Cod on their migration, then Cape Cod Canal anglers will be out of luck.

Having said that, even during slow autumns fishing the Cape Cod Canal at night for striped bass during autumn can yield many size-able stripers. As always, concentrating on hitting the right Cape Cod Canal fishing spots during the best tide is the most crucial element for striped bass fishing success.

4 Of The Best Costa Rica Fishing Locations

By Russell Strider


Costa Rica fishing is definitely a popular recreation of this country, and a lot of people visit specifically for this sport. Obviously the weather is normally perfect, and the country boasts a great combination of inland and deep sea fishing. It is actually one of the very few areas in which you can fish the Atlantic or Pacific with only a comparatively quick drive. In this country you are able to find dorado, sailfish, tuna, marlin, and grouper on the Pacific Ocean, and mackerel and king fish on the Atlantic. The following are 4 of the best spots to go fishing in the country.

Quepos, Pacific Coast

This location is a very popular fishing port that has some great sailfish and marlin opportunities.

Los Sueos, Pacific Coast

The actual name of this spot means The Dreams, and it definitely lives up to it. It is also a great location for hooking sailfish and marlin, and it has an abundance of charter boat choices.

Tamarindo and Flamingo

These locations are exceptional places to visit if you wish to fish for roosterfish, marlin, wahoo, tuna or sailfish.

Drake Bay, Osa Peninsula

In case inland fishing is your preference, this is the spot to check out. It offers some of the very best Costa Rica fishing just about anywhere in the interior of Costa Rica. And in case you ever become bored of fishing, you can enjoy horseback riding, kayaking, snorkeling, diving, or perhaps archeological hikes nearby.

Not surprisingly, travelling to Drake Bay is generally complicated. From the San Jose airport, you will need to fly to Palmar Sur, which will take roughly a half hour. At this point, you'll need to go on a 25 minute taxi ride through all the plantations to Sierpe. From there, it's a 60 minute boat trip on the Rio Sierpe. At this stage, the river goes gradually through the breathtaking jungle, and then Drake Bay is situated at the point where the river becomes broader as it approaches the Pacific. However the trip is really worth it, since the fishing is top notch. Here you can find sailfish, marlin, snapper, dorado, and wahoo, to name a few.

Equipment to Bring

Regardless of which Costa Rican location you decide on, you have to bring some equipment. One of the most crucial is sun block. Not surprisingly the nation receives a great deal of sunshine, so shielding yourself from burns is very important. Additionally, think about wearing a fishing hat for further protection.

Insect repellant is vital for inland fishing, however be certain it has DEET as one of the ingredients. Don't forget, you are in the tropics, which means the bugs are rampant. Long sleeve shirts and pants are really a necessity, as they help keep you protected from getting bites and sun burn. Do not forget to bring plenty of water when you are going by yourself. That will not be necessary if you use a charter.

No matter where you go, be sure to avoid all of the seriously expensive charters. Some of them could run you as much as $1,000 for a single day, but you could possibly get just as much value with a charter at a fraction of that price. Use these tips, and your Costa Rica fishing trip will be one to remember.

What are Chanterelles? It is a fungus. It is probably the perfect known species of the genus Cantharellus, otherwise the whole class of Cantharellaceae. It can be orange or yellow, meaty and funnel-shaped. On the lower surface, beneath smooth cap, it's got gill-like ridges that run most of the way down its stipe, which tapers down seamlessly in the cap. It comes with a fruity smell, similar to apricots and a mildly peppery taste and is considered an excellent edible mushroom.

Why does Prince Charles love this mushroom so much? In one of the royal family's vacations, while the rest of the family was busy taking pot shots at grouse, Prince Charles opted for a rather more gentle country pursuit. The heir to the throne walked for miles at Loch Muick, near his Birkhall home on the Balmoral estate, to go mushroom-picking at the weekend. Charles's decision to skip the shoot will do nothing to dispel rumors that he may have hung up his gun for good.

Fishing the Cape Cod Canal for Big Striped Bass

By Captain Ryan Collins


Fishing the Cape Cod Canal at night can be a wonderful and sometimes utterly spooky undertaking. There is no lack of unusual characters, critters and unusual noises up and down the rip-rap after dark. Nonetheless if you are hoping to dramatically raise your chances of reeling in a tremendous striped bass fishing from shore, then heading to the Cape Cod Canal at nite may well indeed be right up your alley.

The night time angling in the Canal really starts to produce with the entrance of the initial 20 pound plus bass. Frequently by Memorial Day massive fish have settled throughout the Canal-this is when the night time fishing actually starts to flip on. At this point of the year, nighttime excursions are usually hit or miss proposition as large masses of bass progress in the Canal right into Cape Cod Bay. Basically, you might nail bass one trip and then not even generate a take the following night. When the next wave of sizable bass streams in by way of Buzzard's Bay the after dark fishing switches on again.

By July the night time bite will become far more consistent. The bulk of the bass base has settled firmly into their summer time haunts, which usually makes Cape Cod Canal fishing a touch less hit and miss. It's quite feasible to catch large stripers each night of the week, if of course you can focus on the best Canal fishing spots.

The majority of the stripers which are hooked after dark are hooked on bait, jigs and subsurface lures. Traveling down and up the bike path, hunting for breaking bass is clearly out of the equation. Having a firm grasp on the most productive tides and locations is a lot more essential when fishing after dark then when fishing during the day.

The overwhelming majority of large bass hooked at night are taken out of holes, rips and close to bits of structure. Fishing these places will dramatically strengthen your likelihood of tying into a large striper.

Presenting jigs right on the bottom in these spots, or swimming a lure or eel in a rip is a simple technique to attract a big striper. Quite a few Cape Cod Canal sharpies opt to fish artificial lures when the tide is cranking, and then go to live or chunk bait during slack. Many of the largest bass ever taken in the Canal have been taken on a piece of bait fished on the bottom during a night slack tide.

Subject to what the bass decide to do, autumn at the Cape Cod Canal could be either outstanding or discouraging. If a bio mass of bass chooses to swim through the Cape Cod Canal during their migration south, then the fishing at the Canal will be excellent. Yet if the primary body of stripers decides to migrate around the Outer Cape on their southbound trek, then Cape Cod Canal fishermen will be out of luck.

Having said that, even during slow autumns fishing the Canal at night during September and October can result in many size-able stripers. As always, concentrating on hitting the most productive Canal fishing spots during the right tide is the most important element for striped bass success.
