Carp Fishing Rods: All About Good Carp Rods June 23rd, 2010 | Author: Monty Looking at carp fishing rods, also called carp rods or carp poles, must be considered the very first logical step for any beginning or expert angler looking to jump into the recreational world of carp fishing. A good carp rod is the backbone of the rest of your equipment and will help to determine the success (or lack of) your fishing experience. While the basics of fishing for carp are the same, and it doesn’t always take the most expensive gear to pull it off, you still should know about the many considerations that go into having the right gear so if a giant carp hits your carp bait, you don’t lose your rod or equipment. The best type of rods are going to be based on European designs since carp fishing has long been a popular past time there, while this is a sport that is still in its infancy of development in the U.S. But as carp fishing grows in popularity in America, the market for carp specific poles has opened out immensely.…
Going Fishing My grandfather was always the type of guy who wasn’t afraid of hunting. When I was about 10, my brother Josh and I were invited to go fishing with him. I had never gone fishing before. I had no clue how to do it, and I was afraid of hurting the fish. “ I think you’ll have a lot of fun fishing. You have to be patient while fishing, though.” Grandpop told us while we got situated in the car. I was still nervous, though, but I knew if Grandpop said it was fun, it would be. After a…
life is so straightforward. There will always be complexity or obstacles when trying to complete any goal. The fishing trip was on the first Friday of April around four o’clock in the afternoon. Spring had just arrived, so the weather was perfect for a light jacket. There was a slight breeze that wisped across the water, and that along with the water’s waves, caused droplets to be toss about. The crashing sound of waves hitting the pier, calls of seagulls, rumbling of golf cart engines, and the…
Gone Fishing! I think every day and say “What are childhoods?” Childhoods can bring back memories that can be funny or profound. Today, I would like to tell you about the childhood memory I experienced. In the mind of others, it was the funniest time of their life, but not mine. Now I learned from my memory and hope you do to. So let’s get started. Before this happened we woke up, went to breakfast at the Harbor, and then went out and at the same time was listening to “Who let the dogs out.” It…

Rather it is the process by which people catch catfish. Catfishing requires specific preparation, supplies, locations, and circumstances.

The economic impact that fishing and hunting has in New York is easily seen in the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's 2006 National Survey of Fishing, Hunting and Wildlife-associated report. This report states that in 2006, a total of 1.2 million resident sportsmen in New York spent $5 million a day for an annual total of $1.8 billion.

The Outdoors I believe in the outdoors. It has been an escape from reality for me. I am very thankful that I was taught at such a young age about hunting and fishing. The countless memories and time spent with the people that share the same passion that I do. When I first learned to walk, my grandpa taught me about the outdoors. I can still remember my first fishing pole; it was a Pfluger painted burnt orange on a 6ft’6in’’ Berkley lightning rod. The amount of time I spent practicing casting…
Watching “Bigfoot Videos”, during my lunch hours, rekindled curiosity concerning the Bigfoot. Researching the subject, I found several accounts that claimed the Bigfoot would sometimes make what is known as a “whoop call.” Visiting Bigfoot research websites that contained alleged recordings of the “whoop call”, I said to myself, “next time I go out in the woods, I might try to imitate this call to see what might occur.” I did not think I would ever receive a response, but what the heck, it never…
larger than it looked from far away when it first jumped out of the glistening water. We pulled the fish in the boat and took a good amount of pictures before returning it to the water. My grandfather said “wow That thing was massive, I have never caught something that big.” As we returned to the cabin with only a couple walleye and one bass my family were wondering if we caught anything big, and that's when I showed them all the pictures of the massive northern pike I had caught. They were…
