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…

Day 72 of being boatless: I have taken it upon myself to try and make the best out of starting the 2018 fishing season and the summer with not having a boat. I sold my bass tracker mid-march since it had to be sold to eventually to upgrade and I had someone offer me the price I really wanted for it. I have been trying to hit up my very few local shore fishing spot and it has been quite difficult to say the least. The Zimmerman area is hard enough to fish with a boat and without one you're…

Getting Started When choosing a good setup to start fishing especially for bass, I found bigger is not always better. I started out with a 7-foot FLW Platinum pole and a Quantum standard spinning reel. I found that when I hooked my first bass I hardly knew that he was on. This defeats the whole objective of enjoying the fight these great fish deliver. I then moved to an Ultra-light 5-foot Quantum with an ultra-light reel. This was more like it. Even the one-pounders felt like something really…

Everything went cold as Jim Joe Jerry twitched to his awakening. Jim felt uneasy already knew today was going to terrible, but why? The last time Jim had a half bad day…

This mistake has haunted me for my entire life, and it will continue to haunt me in the future. Every time I get a big fish on my ice fishing pole, he snaps the line because of the drag not being set correctly, and he gets away. He’s so rare to find on the end of your pole, although i’ve had so many chances. One day though, that big fish will find himself on top of the ice. Every time I go ice fishing, I hope for the fish that I have lost so many times. This all elusive fish that bites so few…

The type of crappie fishing tackle you use is a personal choice; it is important that you feel comfortable with it and you can get the "feel" to know what the bait is doing as it maneuvers underwater and you can detect the sometimes tap-tap light hit of a crappie. My pet rig is a six-and-a-half-foot spinning rod, medium action, fitted with an ultra light Mitchell 308 reel filled with 6lb. test monofilament. A spincast outfit is plenty good; even fly tackle in some specialized situations, a…
