How to build a backyard fish pond for walleye and perch. Building a backyard fish pond is a big undertaking. Working on 2 fish ponds and here are some ideas to help get you started with a fish pond. These were not small ponds you need to have land the can accommodate a larger fish pond.
The first step is to make sure you have enough land for the fish pond. You should not put a fish pond in your back yard. These ponds were built to grow walleye and perch for eating. If you have a acre of land or more then you are in good shape for a pond. Next check with your local county or township to obtain the proper permits to dig a pond. Make sure there are no underground cables in the area.
Pick a location that has good drainage and the soil below the top soil should be made up of mostly clay dirt. You will need to hire a backhoe contractor that is experienced in digging a pond. A good idea to reduce costs is ask around at the local tops soil companies. We did that and they agreed to dig the fish pond at a greatly reduced cost if they could haul away the top soil.

Bait for catfish

2011-05-26T17:31:00.000-04:00

Blood attracts cats quickly over long distances. Blood also keeps indefinitely when frozen. Bait can be thawed and refrozen as needed. Blood bait's most serious drawback is poor "hook ability" it won't stay on a hook very well. Try wrapping the blood bait in a small square of nylon stocking, pull the four corners together, then thread the hook through the corners, leaving the point uncovered.
Sutton readily acknowledges that other baits are effective on channel catfish. "If you're catching catfish on a bait not discussed here, stick with it. But when other baits fail to produce, give fish, blood bait, night crawlers and catalpa worms a try."

Catch smallmouth bass fishing

2011-05-20T23:33:00.000-04:00

You must first know what a smallmouth bass looks like. Smallmouth bass are usually bronze to brownish green in color. Smallies have dark vertical bars on the sides. You need to know that Unlike the largemouth, the upper jaw of a small mouth does not extend beyond rear margin of the eye. The eye of a smallmouth is reddish. Look at the fish's fins it has thirteen to fifteen rays of soft dorsal fins. Its length would go from 12 to 22 inches. You can catch smallmouth anywhere from one pound up to twenty pounds.
You can try a 3/4 ounce spoon , but heavier spoons can be used to help you stay on top of deep fish in wind or current also spinners are good to use.They are extremely good baits for deep smallmouth.You should fish submerged islands or humps and shoals, try tipping them with a live worm or night crawler. You need to vary your retrieve cast and let the bait fall on a tight line, then bounce the spoon off the bottom and let fall again.

Small spinner to attract the bass

2011-04-10T13:53:00.000-04:00

Plastic or metal is used to create the vibrating luares that generate a tremor when retrieved out of the water. With a sound (much like a rattle), the baits sink to the bottom and do not get lost in particularly deep waters. A variety of lures are offered in this category, including tailspinners, which are heavy, compact baits of metal that uses a small spinner to attract the bass. Use vibrating lures when fishing about stumps, close to river currents, on deep channel drop-offs, and over waterlogged grass beds.

Lake Okeechobee

2010-11-07T00:07:00.000-04:00

Lake Okeechobee is still one of the best production in Florida lakes and is considered one of the best lakes in the country for bass fishing. Located in south central Florida, the "Big O" covers 730 miles square and is easily accessible from the east and west coasts of Florida. FWC biologists expect age ideal for this lake this year. The lake rose 16 feet in early 2003 due to higher rainfall than average in the upper lakes. Because of the drought 2001, the lake has experienced positive changes in vegetation.

Take a kid fishing book

Never has it been more important to find alternative ways to bond with your child. With all the technology children have access to getting them out of the house has never been more of an issue. Don't let any more valuable time pass away. A Little George or Silver buddy on light line can be cast a "country mile"; they resemble forage fish to the bass.
Fishing with kids!
Bass bunched up on offshore ledges sand bars can be caught efficiently with a lipless crankbait, Use a fast-retrieve reel and a medium-action rod and "burn" the bait back to the boat.
When fishing vibrating lures, use a baitcasting reel with a high retrieve ratio.
The best colors to use for bassin' are silver with blue back, gold and also perch color. These will out perform other colors in most cases.
You can use different type of retrieves when you use a lipless crankbait. You can do a steady retrieve or you can stop and go. A lot of anglers make that mistake of stop and go and let the bait sink down to the bottom. You let it sink just for a split second then retrieve again, then so on. Good luck with your fishing.
Try a crayfish 1\4-ounce Rat-L-Trap in your local pond. Reel it as fast as you can and then stop for about 3-4 seconds and then start again. This will produce more fish for you.

Techniques for Surfacing Fish
When breaking fish are spotted, cast the spoon beyond the surface activity and hold the rod very high. Immediately begin a very fast retrieve, skipping the spoon across the top. If no strike occurs, stop and let the spoon fall on a tight line through the school.
Where to Fish Jigging Spoons
Over tree tops of submerged standing timber.
On the bottom, at the ends and deep sides of points.
Along deep drop-offs and channel breaks.
In deep brush and stumps replace treble hooks with a single hook.

Tuning a crank bait

2010-06-24T10:36:00.002-04:00

Not all fishing lures run correctly out of the box, and sometimes you want them to run a crooked path.I suggests some tweaks to change your crankbait retrieves. If a lure is not running perfectly straight, bend the eye hook toward the direction you want the lure to travel. Repeat until the lure runs straight. If the lure doesn't wobble correctly, change its split ring or tie it on with a loop knot. There are times you may want a lure to swim to the side. Bend the hook eye to the left, then cast the lure along the right side of a dock. As you retrieve the lure, it will swim part way under the dock. Bend the eye hook on a different lure the opposite direction, and use it on the other side the dock.

Largemouth bass

2010-06-17T13:19:00.001-04:00

Largemouth bass will spawn when the water temperature is in the 65 and 70 degrees area. After the spawn the bass will start moving off the spawning beds and move to deeper water. Bass are hungry and will start to feed. You can look for their spawning beds before you go fishing making sure you wear polarized sunglasses. The bass beds will be hollowed out holes in the swallow water.

If you are fishing from a boat make sure to move quietly through the area you are going to fish. Shallow water warms up quicker than deep water and the bass will start looking for bait fish to feed on. Shallow water with lots of dead trees and logs warms up faster look for large rocks where the bass will ambush bait fish from.

Lake Okeechobee Bass Fishing

2010-05-14T00:09:00.000-04:00

The bass are spawning right now and are much easier to find than usual as they are concentrated in certain areas. If you are fishing in the wrong area or with the wrong bait you will just not catch any. Get close to the dense saw grass and just let the wind blow you out towards the lake. You cover a lot of territory and arent constantly fighting with weeds in the trolling motor. You will eventually cover most of the bay with this technique and find several hot spots. The hot spots that are found were closest to the dense saw grass wall and had moss covered pepper grass with lilly pads in about 4 to 6 feet of water.

Lake of the Isles

2010-04-27T20:44:00.002-04:00

Lake of the Isles on the St. Lawrence River is one of the largest coastal bay inland water attached to the St. Lawrence River. This water is
very unique in the river area because of its limited connection to the St. Lawrence River, creating a unique sheltered and productive fishing area. This is a great area for boating and fishing.You need to make sure that you know when the season starts around June 21st.
Many anglers like the Lake of the Isles for its excellent year round fishing for pike and various pan fish. If you don't have a boat many of the local marina's will rent out fishing boats. You can find the lake by boating around Wesley island and boating south east up the river. If you not familiar with the river just ask around at the boat docks and they will show you the way.

Try and use baits that look like what the bass are feeding on. Spinner baits are good to use near falling trees. Make sure to tip them with some kind of worm. In the gravel areas jerk baits and artificial baits that resemble cray fish will produce bass. If you are fishing grass beds try using baits that look like frogs. Texas rigged plastic worm works well near shore lines especially near a drop off. Your fishing gear shoud be a spinning or spincast rod and real with eight pound test line depending on the type of cover you are fishing for large mouth bass.

Try different color combinations with your bait. The closer you come to what the bass are feeding on the better. Make sure to vary your retrieves. Try a slow retrieve and use a jerking stop and start to simulate a injured bait fish. There are many different combinations a fisherman can use to catch large mouth bass.

Fishing weed beds for bass and pike St.lawrence River

2010-03-18T13:35:00.002-04:00

Weed beds and structure, such as sunken islands or steep drop offs near shoals, these are a great to start fishing on a lake or river that is new to you.These are areas that hold baitfish and pike and bass will stay near this type of cover.
If you are new to an area along the river, the best advice is to move up near other fishermen, Or talk to bait shops about hot fishing spots. They hear all the latest fishing spots from anglers buying minnows and other baits.

You can also purchase depth charts of the river which will show drop offs and structure that might hold fish. Charts can be found in most bait shops. Deep water off drop offs or near weed beds can be productive for pike seeking warmer waters or for bass to hide looking to feed on bait fish.

WELLESLEY ISLAND

When fishing around dense cover in a shallow lake, remove the treble hook of a popper or chugger and replace with a single weedless hook for fewer hang-ups.
When fishing topwaters, wait for the lure to disappear before setting the hook.
Keep one rod equipped with a topwater lure while fishing. When you spot a feeding bass working the surface, cast the topwater to it.
Topwaters are excellent lures to teach children the fun of bass fishing. Once they see a bass explode on their lure, they're hooked!

World record bass caught MAYBE ?

2009-07-11T01:27:00.001-04:00

Reports say Kurita, a pro staffer representing Deps Tackle Co. in Japan, landed a 22-pound, 5-ounce bass that measured 29.4 inches in length.
Bassmasters reported on their website that early reports are that the fish was caught just before noon on July 2 on live bait . His rod was a Deps model, his reel was a Shimano Antares DC7, and his line was 25-pound-test Toray fluorocarbon.

You'd have to be happy for anyone catching a world record of this class.The current world record has stood for more than 75 years. George Perry caught his famed bass in Georgia in 1932 that weighed 22-pounds, 4-ounces. If certified by the International Game Fish Association (IGFA), Kurita's bass is bigger but not big enough to stand alone. IGFA rules state that a bass must weigh 2 ounces more than Perry's to break the record. That means Kurita's new catch would technically tie it at just an ounce over Perry's current record. However, some reports say the bass weighed just under 22-pounds, 5-ounces.

Bill Dance spinnerbait fishing tip

2009-07-06T21:22:00.001-04:00

One of my most productive techniques throughout the year involves the art of probing deep structure with a spinnerbait.
How do you go about catching bass when they are deep? Your first thought would be a jig-and-pork combination, or maybe a plastic worm, grub or lizard rigged with a heavy sinker or possibly a jigging spoon or blade bait like a Sonar. Or perhaps a deep-diving crankbait. All of these lures are proven fish-catchers, but there are times when bass can become very selective and are not triggered by those offerings, but will aggressively attach a spinnerbait.
When fishing depths of 15 to 20 feet or deeper, my choice of spinnerbait is a Booyah, which is made of practically indestructible titanium, of at least 3/4-ounce in weight. And if there is a current or if windy conditions exist, I’ll switch to a 1-ounce size for better feel and control. Heavier-sized baits also help keep the lure deep during the retrieve.Bill Dance Bass Fishing Course

Spinnerbaits for musky fishing

2009-07-03T22:41:00.002-04:00

The spinnerbaits I use are ten inches long, have heavy double bucktails with single hooks, and large Colorado blades. These large lures are fished primarily in the top few feet of water. In addition to casting, they can be trolled at speeds of up to seven miles per hour as well.
When casting a spinnerbait I like a good bucktail rod that has lots of backbone and a soft tip for casting distance. As I cast I like to stop the lure just before it hits the water. This allows the lure to turn around and start heading back right away. Additionally, this will stop the lure from getting wrapped up or sinking down into the weeds. To keep the spinnerbait high in the water it is necessary to keep the rod tip up while reeling in the lure. As the lure gets closer the rod tip should be lowered so it is right above water level when the lure gets back to the boat. This permits a smooth transition into an L turn and a figure eight. If you keep the rod tip up too long the lure will come out of the water.

Bass fishing cold fronts

Soft plastic jerk baits

2009-06-02T22:56:00.002-04:00

Soft plastic jerk baits, such as the Slug-o, are very effective large mouth bass lures. These baits are fished without any weight, on or near the top of the water. Fishing soft plastic jerk baits over a weed bed is a great way to catch hungry largemouth bass. These baits imitate a wounded bait fish in an extremely effective way. When retrieving these bass baits, make sure you “jerk” your rod tip, rather than a constant reeling motion.

Top baits for catfishing

2009-05-01T12:01:00.000-04:00

One of the top baits for catfishing is fresh chicken livers. Catfish just love them and will bite more on fresh chicken livers. The meaty smell,will bring in catfish from long distances.Put them on the hook the same as you do with beef baits.When you cast the bait make sure it is a gentle cast and don't whip your rod or you might cast off the catfish bait.Use enough sinker weight to keep the bait on the bottom.Place the sinker about 2 or 3 feet up the line this will allow the bait to bounce along the bottom with the current.Make sure you move the bait now and then to keep the scent flowing in the current.

Congaree River Bass Fishing

2009-04-23T15:14:00.001-04:00

Spinnerbaits and bass fishing logs

2009-03-27T10:21:00.002-04:00

When you are fishing for Bass always look for wood. Wood is a magnet for Bass and is without a doubt the number one place to try and catch them. Fallen trees and standing timber along the bank are great.
Start by casting along the edge of the wood, retrieving fast so the spinnerbait runs no deeper than one foot below the surface. If you are not having success using this approach my next option would be to slow down my retrieve and allow the lure to run at a 2 or 3 foot depth. You would be surprised the difference this can and will make.Let the spinnerbais bump along the logs and fall slowly this will trigger bass to bite.

Smallmouth Bass Ohio Fishing

2009-02-07T10:58:00.000-05:00

Smallmouth bass fishing in 2009 is expected to be fair. Although bass abundance remains below desired levels, those caught should be of excellent size (15 to 22 inches, weighing 2 to 6 pounds). Bass fishing is best in areas with good bottom structure, which is available across much of the entire Ohio near shore area.
A closed season remains in effect from May 1 through June 26, 2009, during which all black bass (smallmouth and largemouth) must be immediately released. Beginning June 27, 2009, the daily bag limit for bass will remain at five fish, with a 14-inch minimum length limit.Bill Dance Bass Fishing Course

Western Basin_Ice fishing

2009-02-04T09:23:00.001-05:00

Western Basin_Ice fishing for walleye in the western basin has continued to be good at times over the past week. Most of the activity has been in the Catawba and Bass Islands area. Success has varied from day to day, but some limits are being caught. Good ice was reported in the areas being fished, but anglers should still be extremely cautious of isolated areas of poor ice. Walleye fishing success has also been reported west of "A" can of the Camp Perry firing range; however, there are also some areas of dangerous ice between the mainland and "A" can. Check with local ice guides or tackle stores before heading out. Remember that shifting winds can cause large cracks to open up between sheets of ice. Currents below the ice can also eat away at the thickness of the ice and cause thin areas that aren't obvious from the surface.

Watershed lakes for fishing

2009-01-26T23:56:00.001-05:00

Watershed lakes are easy to pattern and offer exceptional big bass potential. They’re the best bass fishing has to offer in a small package. These lakes vary in size, from less than five acres to 1,500 and more, but they contain the same array of structure found in the major reservoirs: submerged cover, humps, channel drops, points, vegetation and timber to name a few.
It’s important to pay attention to the slightest change in depth. A two- to three-foot drop in a small watershed lake with an otherwise slick bottom is a major structure in that lake. Always relate the size and amount of structure to the size of the lake, and never overlook seemingly insignificant structure in these lakes.

Fishing worms

2009-01-19T14:36:00.000-05:00

You can feed your worms fruit and vegetable scraps and starchy scraps, like bread, oatmeal, and pasta. Do not feed them too much acidic foods, like citric fruits, coffee ground and tea bags. They do best with a pH between 7 and 8. You can use egg shells to balance the effects of coffee grounds, orange and lemon peels. Make sure that the eggshells are cooked before giving them to the worms.
Never feed your worms meat, poultry, dairy products, or salty food , like potato chips. These will create odors and bring in bugs and insects,fly's and such.
Your fishing worms should eat about half their body weight each day. Take this into consideration when you are deciding how much food to add to the fishing worm box or container. Fishing worm article.

Tri-tone spinnerbaits

2009-01-17T23:33:00.001-05:00

Two or even tri-tone spinnerbaits work very well when fished deep or near the bottom, while those fished near the surface, above the bass work better if they create a silvery baitfish look.
My decision whether to use round blades or willow-style blades is based primarily on water clarity and sunlight. If the water allows less than one-foot of visibility, it's an automatic round-blade or tandem round-blade configuration.
If the water clarity is one foot or greater there's a little sunlight, and I'm fishing the bait within 2 feet of the surface, then the choice will be willow-style blades for the added flash and sleeker profile.

Walleye and worms

2009-01-12T00:38:00.001-05:00

Tipping lures with live bait is a deadly combination because it presents walleyes with the scent and taste of real meat. Casting a jig tipped with a minnow, leech or a piece of a crawler takes walleyes anywhere. Another proven combination for casting is a weight-forward spinner with a crawler hooked onto the hook. For trolling, tip the treble hook of an F-6 or F-7 Flatfish with a crawler.

Top water bass baits

2009-01-11T09:42:00.001-05:00

Topwater color should match in a general way that of the dominate forage in your lake. But the color should more closely match than of baitfish that bottom-dwelling creatures. Therefore, a silver topwater would tend to be a better choice than a brown one. However, at night , use a black topwater, since black is the color that stands out most dramatically against the night sky to a bass looking upward. Chrome is an excellent choice in many reservoirs because it matches the colors of many baitfish, including alewives and shad. Sometimes a bright secondary color such as red or orange adds to the productivity of the lure. Smallmouth often prefer outrageously colored topwaters, including chartreuse and orange.

Jigging spoon for bass

2009-01-02T09:36:00.000-05:00

For most bass fishing situations, a 3/4 ounce spoon is best, but heavier spoons can be used to help you stay on top of deep fish in wind or current.
A single hook will catch as many bass on a jigging spoon as will a treble hook, and is less damaging to fish you wish to release. A single hook will hang up far less than a treble hook.
Spoons are "designed to be lost", so bring several with you as rocks, stumps, etc. will often create hang-ups, and the lures may be impossible to retrieve in deep water.
To retrieve a spoon that is snagged, move the boat directly over the hang-up and jiggle the rod up and down a few inches at a time. Eventually the weight of the spoon may work the hooks free
Use a wire cross locking snap when fishing a jigging spoon.

Bass fishing tip

2008-12-15T12:32:00.000-05:00

Schooling bass are often just out of casting range. A Little George or Silver buddy on light line can be cast a "country mile"; they resemble forage fish to the bass.
Bass bunched up on offshore ledges sand bars can be caught efficiently with a lipless crankbait, Use a fast-retrieve reel and a medium-action rod and "burn" the bait back to the boat.
When fishing vibrating lures, use a baitcasting reel with a high retrieve ratio.
The best colors to use for bassin' are silver with blue back, gold and also perch color. These will out perform other colors in most cases.

Crappie through the ice

2008-12-10T10:31:00.000-05:00

There may be no species of fish better suited for the use of electronics through the ice than crappie. Because suspended crappies are oftentimes the biters, you really need to have a set of eyes under the water telling you precisely were the fish are. If you fish below a school of crappie, they'll rarely bite. But when you know where they are, you can tease them into striking by pulling the bait up above them and then dropping it back down. Like a kid, the crappie doesn't like when an easy snack is pulled away from its nose. It's a game of cat and mouse that is both enjoyable and effective but requires the use of a sonar unit to carry out properly. When searching for crappies, a four-color flasher like the Vexilar FL-8 is one of the modern ice angler?s best friend and tool for the job. It can show you depth, fish, your lure, bottom composition, and structure with incredible accuracy. When you get really good with one, you can anticipate the strike of a crappie moments before you feel it.

Live bait to use for smallmouth bass.

2008-12-07T22:59:00.001-05:00

Crayfish, also known as crawfish, crawdads, or crabs, or soft shell crabs are the number one live bait to catch smallmouth bass in the river.You want to use smaller crayfish 1"to 1 1/2" hooking the crawdad up through the tail. Bass tend to shy away from larger crayfish due to their larger pinchers.
Shiner minnows are also good hook through both lips.The problem I have with minnows is that the perch will bite them but that's ok if your after perch.
Worms or nightcrawler are also great just hooking them a couple times at the end so the rest of the worm moves as it bounce along the rocks.Worms also ten to get hit by small fish that bite the end off the worm but smallmouth bass will attack a worm there is no mistaking a hit from a bass on a live worm.
You can keep the minnows in a bait well ,in the heat of summer we put a small block of ice frozen in a milk carton to keep them healthy.Worms need to be kept out of the sun and in a cool place.Softcraws are fine in a little water or bait buck in a cool place. Bill Dance Bass Fishing course

Moon Phase for fishing

2008-12-03T23:19:00.000-05:00

By understanding this, and choosing times when sunrise/sunset and moonrise/moonset coincide with new or full moon phases, you'll increase you chance of a good fishing catch. Assuming there are fish in the area, of course.
Choosing The Best Fishing Times
There really is nothing complicated about this at all; it's just a matter of knowing ahead of time exactly when the sun and moon will rise and set. Fish are most active during 90-minute windows surrounding each of these four daily events; that's 45 minutes before and after these four daily points.
Fishing during these four periods will help increase your fishing catch, but if you plan wisely so as to ensure you're at the water's edge on the days of new or full moon, you can use these 'windows' to reel in a catch like you've never done before. If you have to choose between sunrise/set and moonrise/set, always go with the moon as the moon is the stronger influence.

Cold weather walleye fishing

2008-12-02T22:08:00.001-05:00

Because by this time of the year their food, which is located in shallow areas, is no longer available. So, conveniently for the walleye, there are plenty of minnows around in the deeper waters during the time of year that the leaves are falling above water.
When scouting out a spot to fish in the fall, look for steep dropoff points that are anywhere from 75 - 90 degrees in angle and taller than 20 feet. These will bring you the most success by far.
The walleyes will travel up the ledge of the dropoff, eat, then head back toward bottom. They will do this several times per day.More fishing tips and books.

Beer Batter Bass

2 pounds bass fillets
lemon juice

salt and black pepper to taste
1/2 cup peanut oil
Batter
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 cup beer
Slice fillets into 2-inch strips. Sprinkle with lemon juice and roll in flour seasoned with salt and pepper. Prepare batter by combining flour, salt and cayenne pepper, then gradually blend in beer until thoroughly mixed. Heat oil in cast iron dutch oven or fish fryer. Dip fillets in batter and fry until golden brown (2 minutes on average). Drain on paper towel to remove excess grease. Serve with hot sauce or tarter sauce.

Walleye fishing moon phase

2008-11-23T14:05:00.002-05:00

The rise and set of both the sun and the moon each day cause walleye to be more active. This is especially true of the sun setting and moon rising at night.
Combining both the daily and monthly moon habits can be especially beneficial. Walleye are very active around the nightly moon rise during the full or new moon phases, in other words. So, anglers who fish for walleye in the early evening during the few days surrounding the full or new moon are more likely to bag some big walleye.
Keeping charts of how the sun and moon rising and setting and the monthly full and new moon affect fishing in a specific body of water can be useful to angler, too. Not every body of water in ever region is exactly alike. The walleye and other fish will be affected in slightly different ways, depending on where a person is fishing.

Popper baits kids fishing

2008-11-13T16:06:00.000-05:00

There are a couple types of lures in particular, that work well for bass fishing. You can get working baits to help you hook one during the summer months when the bass go to the deeper waters to avoid the heat. However, it is best during regular bass fishing to use a surface bait, especially if there is a bit of wind to help you work with it, it is also a great way to practice with your lures on speed and power.
Popper baits are some of the most popular, especially with beginner anglers. Choose bright colored popper bait and then cast the line out and let it rest, then pop it back. You will have to experiment a bit and define your noise and pause pattern, but once you have got a hold of it you are sure to start catching bass.

Clean your fishing rods and reels

2008-11-11T11:40:00.000-05:00

For rods, check the guides and wraps. If a guide has a scratch, nick, or groove, replace it. Some anglers brush a Q-Tip inside the guide to see if a piece of cotton is left behind. I use a magnifying glass. I want to see what’s really going on. If the guide wraps are loose or exposed, repair this area. Again, your tackle retailer has all the supplies. Back to the reel. After you clean the exterior, pay attention to areas where line passes. On baitcasting reels, it’s the line guide. Use a Q-Tip or pipecleaner dipped in WD-40. For spinning reels, it’s the line roller. To lubricate, put a drop of oil or grease on the worm gear, on the spinning reel line roller, and on the bail pivot points. It’s also a good idea to clean the handles and oil the axles.

Shiner minnows for crappie fishing

2008-11-05T12:10:00.000-05:00

Shiner minnows are my favorite minnow to use, I prefer the smaller variety about 1 1/2" in length. Many crappie anglers would argue that bigger is better, but the truth is I like to catch fish and I am not interested in only fishing for the large slabs. If you are one of the anglers who only fish for slab crappie then bigger is probably better,but I prefer to catch a lot of fish. Now the reason I like the shiners whether using small or large minnows, is they reflect light like small mirror in the water. Crappies are easily attracted to changes in light patterns,so the shiner minnow is fish attractor and a live crappie bait food source at the same time.

Walleye Recipe

Crab Walleye
A healthier way to cook and eat walleyes than frying them. It was later revised with an alternative cooking method offered by Kinda Catchy on the message board to include deep-fat frying. Here's the recipe:
1# chopped walleye
1 small can crab with liquid
1 stick of butter melted
2-3 green onions or 1/4 large sweet onion chopped
1/4 skinned red pepper chopped
1/4 - 1/2 C parsley chopped
1/4 C Miracle Whip (optional) I used it after a comparable test run
1 egg beaten
1/2 c seasoned bread crumbs
Bread crumbs for rolling
Pinch old bay
Original: Mix all, roll in crumbs, put on a greased cookie sheet, bake in oven on top rack at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes, flipping once, until golden on both sides.

Bass fishing areas

2008-10-29T21:41:00.001-04:00

Bass love to hang out over sheltered areas where old trees that have fallen into the water are used by smaller fish as a home. This information will tell the individual what type of bait or lure to use given the conditions.The conditions are very different when going from one fishing location to the next. Before going into the water, asking the locals for some tips is a good way to get a head start.
Instead of running off on your own, try to fish with buddies who’s fishing skills you envy. Or hunker down near a few total strangers and pick their brain while you’re all casting and reeling. And while you’re not talking, do some watching as well. Observe their techniques. Check out what equipment they use. And watch what kind of fish they’re catching.

Bass fishing baits and lily pads

2008-10-28T09:19:00.000-04:00

Don't forget about lily pads. Although these are not favorite areas for most fishermen because they take so long to fish, a buzzbait will make short work of a pad field. Throw that buzzbait right in the middle and rip it across the tops and in between the pads until you have cross-patterned the whole field of pads. If there is a bass within yards of the pad, it will bite your bait I promise.
The key to buzzin' lily pads is to not slow the bait down or let it drop under the surface. If you do, it will get hung up in the pad roots and your line will get tangled and rub against the edges of the pads, thus weakening the line.
Remember to keep your buzzbait in the water at all times. That's the key. A buzzbait is a reflex bait that will stir up the whole area you are fishing.

Casting bass fishing

2008-10-22T17:09:00.000-04:00

Casting isn't the be-all and end-all of bass fishing, of course. While improving and mastering the different types of casting can greatly improve your fishing, it won't help at all if you don't have a good rod, reel, selection of lures, etc. Of course, weather and location will always play a factor in fishing, so don't be discouraged if your new casting techniques don't work right away. Keep practicing them, and you'll notice that the amount of bass you catch will increase as you get these casting methods down.

Bass fishing tips

2008-10-20T16:37:00.000-04:00

The first tip for better bass fishing is to use fishing line that's as light as you can. Many bass anglers tend to use fishing line that's much too heavy. I realize that if you fish for bass in heavy cover heavier line is necessary, but in most bass fishing situations it's not. For example, did you know that 8 pound test monofilament fishing line can hold 8 pounds of dead weight without breaking at its weakest point? This doesn't take into account the bend of the rod and the drag of the reel, which both take pressure off of the fishing line as well.

Guides to Bass Fishing

2008-10-10T13:11:00.000-04:00

Here are some Guides to Bass Fishing to become a better Bass Fisher.
The Technique:
The bait must fall to the preferred depth, then you have to shake the rod tip. By this, you'll be getting the fishes attention. Do this for at least 30 seconds, then shaking again for about 2 or 3 seconds intervals, stop and pull slowly about six inches. Then dropping again, slowly back and down and repeating the process. The first thing to remember if they're not biting is to slow down.

salt water angling

2008-10-09T12:28:00.000-04:00

Most salt water angling is done with a method of long-distance casting called shooting. A special short weight-forward section of line is spliced to several hundred yards of thin running line. It feels weird casting this set-up at first, but it grows on you quickly. The long-distance casts are necessary for wary fish such as permit, tarpon and bonefish. Oftentimes, you will be in very clear, very shallow water and the fish are ultra-spooky.
Once you have your equipment, you can decide where to fish. Practice your casting, especially the Double-Haul cast. You’ll be using it a lot to ’shoot’ line out. Casting lessons are very reasonable and a good investment. You can go to Fed FlyFishers to find a certified instructor near you.
Bayous and inlets are easy to fish. Just fish them as you would a bass lake, with a few cautions. This is where you catch sea bass, striped bass, speckled trout, redfish, mackerel, flounder, snapper, bluefish.

Fall bass fishing

2008-10-02T15:41:00.001-04:00

Fall bass fishing is upon us.
Air temps have dropped and water temps are following, as we head into the fall feeding season for the bass. As the water continues to cool, and we get more and stronger cold fronts, stable fishing will dissipate, but the fish will also begin to binge-feed, fattening up for the winter ahead.Try not to fish the day after a front. If you have no choice, though, don’t waste your time getting up early and hitting the lake before daylight.
Remember to fish the windblown points and flats in the afternoon, after the sun has warmed the water back up a bit. Doing this can load the boat if you hit the right spots. Chunk a spinnerbait or Rat-L-Trap along these windy sections and hang on!

Greers Ferry:Fishing

2008-10-01T18:09:00.000-04:00

Black bass are biting very well in shallow water around flooded brush. Spinnerbaits, topwaters, buzzbaits and small crankbaits are working well around the brush. Bass are also on long points and will bite Carolina rigs and football head jigs. Crappie are fair in the pole timber and brush in 15 to 20 feet of water. Bream are biting well on crickets and nightcrawlers. Catfish are biting well on jugs and trotlines. Walleye are slow and can be found anywhere from 10 feet deep to 48 feet deep.

Fishing tips

2008-09-25T00:25:00.001-04:00

Some simple bass fishing tips can include casting past schools of fish and then gently retrieving the lure as it passes over the fish. This methods will not startle the wish against casting the lure directly over the fish which will. You might want to practice some different types of casts; take the hooks and lures off and try some in the backyard or your living room. Use an underhand cast or sidearm cast to get past some cover in the lake; these will need some practice as well. Some of the best bass fishing tips should tell you how to practice these casts until you’re comfortable with them.

Striped bass Raritan Bay

2008-09-19T11:40:00.001-04:00

Some huge striped bass are being caught on bunker in Raritan Bay, with keepers up to 531/2 pounds reported in recent days. Bluefishing also is excellent, with plenty of 15-17-pound slammers being caught both from boats and lots of 10-12 pounders from the surf. Big blues also are plentiful out at the Barnegat Ridge, where good numbers of false albacore and bonito are being taken too.

Seneca Lake fishing

2008-09-12T09:29:00.001-04:00

A few lakers being hooked around the Belhurst and Glass factory Bay areas. Try trolling along the bottom at around 95 to 100 feet. Pike should be found outside of weed beds in about at around 25 feet. Minnows and jigs should work best. Plenty of perch being hooked at around the 30 to 40 foot range. Rubber tails, minnows and spikes fished around Reeds and Kashong points should work best.
