Angling

Bass fishing is one of the most common forms of angling in the United States. Largemouth and smallmouth bass are both targeted by anglers all over the country. These species of fish are from the genus Micropterus. Both species of bass are game fish, and their food quality is fair. Largemouth and smallmouth bass are a very common species, but they also have many differences. The differences between these two species of game fish are habitat preferences, the size of their mouth, and overall size. Both of these species are fished for constantly all over the United States. All smallmouth bass live up north because they prefer colder water then the largemouth. Largemouth bass are still caught in the northern states, but they do not reach…

battery source. My personal preference is to try using a car battery. I power both my floating fishing lights and my underwater fishing lights out of this power source. A fully charged car battery lasts me a full last me forever. I than recharge the battery when I return home. Both underwater fishing lights and floating fishing lights normally consist of alligator clips and makes hooking them for the power source very easy. If you wish to have a exciting fishing experience you should try night…

Going out fishing helps people understand the sense of community and their involvement in of something bigger than themself. Fishing supports wildlife and fisheries management while contributing to conservation. Angling acts as an important wildlife management tool by helping stabilize some fish species and eliminating invasive species. Many fishermen tag their catch and release them, which allows biologists to track the fish. Tagging fish allows biologists to track the migration patterns,…

Saltwater Fishing Saltwater fishing has long been considered not only one of the most appreciated forms of fishing by fishermen, but one of the most appreciated sports by people who are not necessarily salt water fishing enthusiasts. Saltwater fishing, deep sea or deep blue fishing, as it is know colloquially, is considered by many as the most rewarding style of fishing with catches ranging from wayward salmon to sharks that can weigh upwards of a few tons. Saltwater fishing is a rather broad…

big day of fishing the following day only to find themselves coming in at the end of the day with only one or two bass caught. They will spend the day, usually casting, re-rigging, running, loosing lures, etc., but most of all getting frustrated because the fish aren’t cooperating. "Sound Familiar?" I, surly know this feeling and I’m sure that any angler reading this article has had the same feeling at some point and time. Now, don’t feel bad if this does happen to you because you are definitely…

The natural distribution of minnow in Norway was mainly restricted to low altitude localities in the south-eastern part of the country and in some northern areas. According to Museth et al. 2007, the distribution area expanded considerably throughout the 1900s, especially in mountain areas, due in part to the use of minnows as live bait for angling. Although minnow densities do not seem unusually high in the relatively complex fish communities of its native range, the species can achieve very…

overall control along with hooksetting power. On a short line you have more control and instant power + response on a hookset. A long cast that fouls the plug in weeds is almost surely a waste of time. You'll probably have to crank in the lure, and take the weeds off. Ripping the weeds off is difficult from the long distance. The answer is to gauge your casting distance according to the cover present. General rule of thumb: the thicker the cover, the shorter the cast. Yes, there is a…

The First Trout I Caught and the Reason I Hate Snakes It was a warm sunny day in the state of Wyoming. I was with my brother and uncle when the unthinkable happened to me. I remember the memory like it was yesterday. And now I always watch my step in rattlesnake country. I was on a trip with my uncle and my younger brother when we talked to a guy that my uncle knew. His name was zach and he was nice enough to let us go fishing for trout in a stocked pond that his boss owned. Since he was hired…

Many people have stress relievers, whether it be running, music, or even retail therapy. However, for me, nature is where I can be myself, the place I can forget about life’s problems and struggles. Although you can do many things in nature, fishing suits me the most. Fishing is calming, stress relieving, and overall therapeutic. Waking up at 4:30 in the morning is something few people will do no matter the reason. As often as I am able, I wake up an hour before sunrise. I get out of bed and…
