Mon, 14 Feb 2011 06:59:34 -0500

During the spring a fish that is targeted quite often in many areas are trout, with an emphasis on rainbow trout. Conservation agencies and fish and game commissions even "stock" local lakes and rivers with trout with the express purpose of being caught by anglers. I have been fishing for (and catching) these trout for many years and one of the most popular ways to catch trout that have been "stocked" is to go fishing with Powerbait.

Freshwater FishFinders

Wed, 15 Sep 2010 15:50:50 -0400

Not all fish finders work well in all types of fishing. If you like to fish in freshwater then you should look for a fish finder that will work best for freshwater fishing.

In general single frequency fish finders are adequate for freshwater fishing. Single frequency fish finders work well in most lakes, rivers and in shallow coastal fishing and they are generally less expensive. Single frequency fish finders have less depth penetration than dual frequency models, but for freshwater that is generally acceptable. Most freshwater fishing is not in deep water so being able to see to depths of 1000 feet or more is not needed. The single frequency fish finders will often have a larger cone angle which will let you see a broader area at a more shallow depth.

Fishing Rigs – 3 Extremely Effective Rigs For Fishing

Fri, 20 Aug 2010 06:57:45 -0400

When it comes to fishing rigs, which types are the most effective? Are the ones with wire leaders and number four (and larger) fishing hooks jutting out in various directions like you see in tackle shops and tackle departments from time to time the kind of fishing rigs that I’m referring to? Are these types of fishing rigs something that the average angler should even bother with? Two plus decades of fishing experience tells me NO, rigs like that shouldn’t even be considered by anyone who considers themselves a "fisherman". This is especially true if you fish for freshwater fish species.

Fall Freshwater Fishing

Thu, 14 Jan 2010 12:18:30 -0500

The cool evenings of fall signal water temperatures dropping in the lakes. That means fishing will go through another transition period. The lakes are turning over and the oxygen is getting mixed back into the deep water. The shallow water cools first, and this moves the baitfish and the gamefish up into areas where a crankbait or light jig will work effectively.

Fishing in the wee hours of the night is peaceful and calming sometimes. But when the bite is on watch out! Excitement is everywhere! One of the reasons I love night fishing is because there is very little fishing pressure. Very few fisherman take advantage of the fantastic opportunities you have when you go night fishing for any species such as crappie, walleye, catfish or bass probably because they just don’t know how. You will be amazed at the variety of different fish you will catch at night even if you are targeting a specific species of fish such as walleye. Today I want to give you some simple night fishing tips that will help you to become a better night fisherman.

#1 Underwater fishing lights.

I always put this item at the top of my night fishing equipment list and for good reason. The best florescent submersible's use 25-40watts of power , and they emit 1000 to 3000 lumens per tube.It is amazing how much plankton these lights will attract. These little organisms are the primary food source of most of the small bait fish that game such as bass love to attack. Bait fish are the main ingredient that is needed to have a successful night fishing trip. These lights absolutely are useful in attracting game fish such as walleye to your night fishing location. When you have a swarm or ball of bait fish surrounding your underwater fishing light anything can happen. All you need to do is cast your rigs out close to the edge of your light source and you are ready for an exciting night. I love going night fishing because of the variety of game fish you can catch at night. You can catch walleye,catfish,crappie and bass ! It doesn’t matter they are all their for an easy meal.And it is my opinion I could of caught very few of these fish without a good underwater fishing light source.

#2 Surface night fishing lights.

Surface lighting is very important not only for fishing but for your safety. I want to identify two primary areas that surface lighting will help you. The number one reason is for your safety. At a very minimum you need to at least have your night running lights on when you are night fishing. You need to identify yourself to other night fisherman and recreational boaters. There have been a a lot of watercraft accidents because did not do this very simple step of identification. The second reason is very important too. The light source will pro-ject across the surface and attract insects, yes I said attract insects! Insects attract bait fish and bait fish attract mare game fish! Just make sure you hang these lights outside of your boat so you keep most of the insects away from you. If you use a Coleman type lantern for night fishing make sure you shield the side facing into the boat so the light reflect back out and across the water. This limit the amount of insects that will attack you in the boat.

#3 Pre-Planning is important! Before you decide to go night fishing it is very important to do some preplanning. Make a check list of all the items that will be essential after nightfall. Also get out and scout the areas you want to night fish for the evening. If you have a GPS to mark them that would be great. If you do not have a GPS identify land marks that you will be able to identify after night fall.

I hope the information I have provided about underwater fishing lights will help you on your next fishing trip! God bless and a good day to you.
