A Place To Share Your Fishing Experience: Some new pics

Fishy Tips

Tip No 1 - For coastal fishing, get a tide chart and learn how to use it.

Tip No 2 - Always try and get fresh bait. Catching it yourself can be fun too.

Tip No 3 - Use the lightest sinker you need for the job. Sometimes this will only be a very small one.

Tip No 4 - Become good at tying important knots. Get a good knot book, learn to tie the Locked Half Blood Knot and practice it.

Tip No 5 - Read as much as you can in magazines like Fishing World. There are heaps of really useful things as well as heaps of good pictures.

Tip No 6 - Never touch or handle a fish or creature that you can't identify. It might bite or sting.

Tip No 7 - Get a good fish identification book and study it.

Tip No 8 - Always wash salt off your fishing gear, including hooks and lures, after you've finished fishing at the coast.

Tip No 9 - Try and have a freshwater tackle box and a saltwater tackle box. This will protect your freshwater stuff from rust at the coast.

Tip No 10 - When you are not using your reels, keep them in a dark place, like a draw or cloth bag. Sunlight damages fishing line very quickly.

Some new pics

We braved the rain and cold this past Friday to do some fishing and were rewarded with some of our best fish this year!

Above is a 4.2lb. largemouth taken on a black spinnerbait from a brush pile close to shore.

Bob bagged a 3.5+ pickerel on a bluegill pattern crankbait that fought on even inside the boat!

Removal of the hooks requires pliers as these fish have many sharp teeth, and being built like barracuda squirm and fight until released. All in all a good day, we got 3 bass and more than 7 pickerel for the few hours we were able to stand the cold and wet. Next weekend we have two days of fishing and what looks to be good weather, if the fish cooperate the post should be big with pictures!

God bless, Mike.

Hope to see more of your catch in the future...We were a bit unfortunate last week..we had to cancel our fishing trip at the last moment due to some bad weather caused by the after effect of the Myanmar typhoon (cyclone Nargis!)so we have to reschedule our trip onboard a chartered fishing trawler sometime in July...; May 20, 2008 10:37 AM
