Ice fishing

The Perfect Storm On a dreary September morning in Gloucester Massachusetts, a crew of diverse, hardened fishermen boarded the sword fishing vessel Andrea Gail. September in the northeast is a favorable time to swordfish and Captain Billy Tyne is eyeing the conditions of one of the most rewarding sword fishing spots of the east, the grand banks. Sword fishing is a multi-million dollar industry in the north east, and for such a poor area like Gloucester, it draws men from all over to participate.…

together. My pond or magical get away, has been part of my life for six years. My magical place has fulfilled my life with wonderful memories and opportunities. My pond has brought my sister Mikka and I closer, from not talking to each other, to fishing together. For instance, my twelve year old sister caught her first fish in our pond when she was five. She was using an old, red pole of mine that had a big,…

How The Shakespeare Ugly Stik Got Its Name During the 1940s, fishing rods were made of either hollow or solid fiberglass. Hollow fiberglass fishing rods were lighter and more affordable than solid versions, but they were more brittle and subject to breakage, particularly the tip. The solid rods were stronger, but they were also heavier and more expensive than the hollow ones. Shakespeare developed a process that consolidated the benefits of each type of rod by joining a hollow fiberglass base…

Over the last century, fishing in Alaskan waters has suffered its ups and downs. More than a hundred years ago, there was an abundance of thriving, healthy fish in the Atlantic waters of Alaska. However, around the turn of the 20th century, that changed drastically. Due to actions both caused by both man and nature, the fish population was drastically reduced and the fishing industry suffered major losses. Several factors contributed to the problem and the Alaskan fishing industry suffered…

CHECK TIPUPS OFTEN TO TRIGGER MORE STRIKES There's no doubt that ice anglers are some of the most dedicated of all outdoorsmen. Sitting patiently out on a cold frozen lake in search of a few fish is dedication. No argument there. However, in many cases these anglers do too much sitting and not enough moving around. A lot more gamefish can be taken on tipups by simply checking them more often. Yet the majority of ice anglers make the critical mistake of setting their tipups at the beginning…

My favorite memory is when I went fishing in a pond. The reason it is my favorite memory is because I had fun at that time . This memory might sound weird, but it is not. I remember my friend coming over and asking if I wanted to go fishing and I said yes, so I asked my mom and she said yes, so I got on my bike and me and Jonathan that is his name. We stopped at the store to get us a snack. Then we set off again we had lots of fun on the way, but we finally got to the pond it took a little bit…

THE FISHHOOK By:Jackson Gray Fishing, it’s fun right, not if this happens it’s not! One summer afternoon I went fishing off a dock with my Uncle Andy and my cousin Logan. At first it was just us fishing, a nice family get together. A little bit later Mom and Dad came to watch us fish. We kept fishing and fishing and then it happens! I sat down unaware of the fishhook stuck in the cracks of the docks. As I put my hand down I felt a little pain. Then it got stronger and stronger and then in…

In modern-day Scandinavia, people use the marine environment as an important part of their life. From large oil rigs to small fishing villages, Scandinavians uilizedt the marine environment that surrounds them. I know this quite well, from experience. My paternal grandmother was raised on a small island and fishing village off the cost of northern Norway, called Sommarøy, near Tromsø. Her father was a fisherman and her mother was a Sami from Finnmark, which also lived off the sea. From her, I…

the fifth grade. It was for him, and since I can’t always go to his grave very often, this is my small token to him. It says “Gone fishing” with a red, and white fishing bobber on the first G that has my grandpa’s birthdate, and date of death on it; then on the last g has a fishing hook. The I’s are dotted with flowers lastly a heart connecting the gone to the fishing. It is between my shoulder blades and doesn’t reach my neck. The reason it is on my back is so I don’t have to see it and get…

morning, I woke up to my Dad knocking on my door and telling me to get ready to go fishing. I really did not expect this even though on the weekend, it’s mostly when I go fishing. Although, I planned on going to the park to play football and basketball. Meanwhile, I really loved going fishing so I was actually pretty pumped about this. I immediately got up and did my daily routine. I then proceeded to get all of the fishing gear ready with no thought about breakfast or eating at all. It…
