Catching Fish - 3 Tips to Help You Catch More Fish
One of the easiest and also most difficult things to do on this earth is catching fish. In this article I'm going to reveal 3 tips to help you catch more fish. These tips have been learned through more than 25 years of fishing experience. Some have been learned through personal fishing experience and some were taught to me by my fishing mentor, the best angler I ever had the pleasure of coming in contact with.
In all my years of catching fish the one thing that has mattered more than anything is experience. The best way to become a better angler is to spend time on the water fishing. I realize this sounds over simplistic, but in fishing just like in life, the simple things are often the most effective. Nothing will help you in catching fish like practicing your craft.
That being said, tips never hurt anyone, and in fact can also help you catch more fish so shall we get down to the 3 tips that will help you catch more fish and stop screwing around?
1.Free Your Hands Of Unnatural Scents - When it comes to catching fish one of the most important tips you'll ever get is to make sure that your hands are free of unnatural scents. This can be accomplished by using odor neutralizing soap or by rubbing a handful of grass or dirt into your hands before baiting up. Either one of these simple measures will help you make sure that your hands are free of unnatural scents. This tip is especially true with larger, more experienced fish.
2.Educate Yourself - I'm sure you've heard this tip in relation to such things as school and making and keeping money, but it's equally as true in fishing. The more you understand about your quarry, where it lives, and what it likes to eat the better off you'll be. Catching Fish and educating yourself go together like a hand and a glove. The best single way to educate yourself about fishing is to spend time on the water practicing your craft and implementing new tips.
3.Use The Right Hooks - What do I mean by using the right hooks? First off you want to make sure that your hooks are as sharp as possible. Having sharp hooks means more hook ups. Second, if you're a bait fisherman (either live or synthetic) you should always use gang hooks. Gang hooks are the best way to present bait in a natural manner. Presenting bait naturally is a great tip for catching more and bigger fish.
These simple tips are extremely effective and will help you catch more fish on your next fishing excursion. Every one of them has been helping me for many years and I know they will do the same for you. Catching fish can be just like going to the movies - most times it's either all good or all bad. These tips will help you stay on the good side of that equation.

Alternative Fishing Styles
There we were, me and my new fishing apprentice at the lake. I was teaching him the rudiments of handling the rod and putting the bait and we were trying to catch a lake trout while discussing everything from sports to the most effective technique to escape from boring clothes-shopping with our wives. I got some good ideas, I must confess.
At some point he asked me if there were some other fishing techniques or alternative styles. "Is it always just a fishing rod, reel, bait, and waiting in sport fishing?" he asked.
Of course it is the most common way to fish but it is not the only way to fish. In sport fishing, there are different techniques and tools for fishing depending on the type of fish you want to catch. There are even games you can play with friends or family.
One of Murphy's laws says that if something can be used for something else besides its original use, someone will do it. Some techniques or methods are more dangerous or fun than others.
Before I could explain him about some fun ways to fish as well as others too dangerous to practice for a starter, I don't know why it came to my mind a piece from the New Testament that says that Jesus is reported to have said to his disciples: "Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men." (Matthew 4:19). Then I said that in those times, fishing with a net in a group was considered an honest effort to make a living. I don't know if he is a religious man, but he agreed with that idea.
Some of you might not like the techniques discussed here. Others will love them; it is a mater of diversity and sportsmanship.
One of the first fishing techniques we discussed and one I like, is Hand
Fishing, also known as Trout Tickling or Noodling if you are fishing
catfish. Noodling doesn't require any kind of fishing tool but your hand
and it is fun, just try it sometime. It is also possible to fish lobsters
when you are diving or "Pearl" Fishing.
A variant of it is the Hand-Line Fishing. You just need a line and a small piece of wood or something to roll the line. I've seen this done at some beaches in Mexico but, as far as I know, this is illegal in Kansas.
Another "ancestral" way to fish is Spear Fishing. Traditional Spear
Fishing is restricted to shallow waters, but the development of the spear
gun has made this method much more efficient. Fishing can be done with an
ordinary spear or a specialized variant such as an eel spear or with a
long or short trident. You can be at a river shore or in the water with
basic or complete scuba equipment. A variant of this is "Bow Fishing"
which might not be fun if you keep losing arrows!!
Net Fishing is another method of sport fishing. All fishing nets are
meshes that are usually knotted by a relatively thin thread. Modern nets
are usually made of nylon, although nets made of wool or silk thread were
common until recently and are still used in certain areas. The casting net is circular and the diameter varies. The way to use it is sinking it at the same time you make a forward motion from surface-down to bottom and then up. There is a chance that you catch something else, but hey, some coracles are as good as fish, besides this is also the way they are caught.
Trawling is a fishing method that involves pulling a fishing net through
the water behind one or more boats. In Mexico there is a place where the
nets simulate butterflies wings and fish like this. A gill net catches
fish which try to pass through it by snagging on the gill covers. Thus
trapped, the fish can neither advance trough the net nor retreat.
I find Kite Fishing very exotic. It was invented in China and then learned by people in New Guinea and other Pacific Islands. It is a very
non-traditional way of fishing for a newbie getting into the fishing
world. It was used by people who did not have a boat to fish, but also was very handy when fishing conditions were difficult or the fishing places were inaccessible or dangerous.
Ice Fishing, do I have to say more? Just get a line, a hook and open a
hole in the ice, just don't put your hand in it!
Fish Trapping is another way for fishing. There are two types of traps:
the semi-permanent and the permanent. Depending on the type of fish you
want to get, the traps can be several feet long to relatively short. An
example is dam fishing by building a temporary dam in such a way that
makes it easier to catch the fish. Other types are the tripods used in the Congo and the weir structures or baskets used in medieval times. The
baskets or weir structures are built according to the fish to catch
Another "natural" way to fish, involves trained animals like cormorant,
remoras and dogs.
Fishing using toxins is not a healthy way for catching fish. There are
some natural toxins found in some plants, and the main idea is to paralyze the fish so you can easily catch it by hand. The fish either dies right after suffocating or later in transport. This is not only dangerous because you can get poisoned too, but it is illegal.
In my opinion, using explosives are not only dangerous for you if you
don't know how to handle explosives, but also for the environment. It
kills by direct hit or shockwave. The worst thing about it is that it is not selective.
Another dangerous practice is electro-fishing. It sounds like a new dance,
but actually is a fishing technique that involves electricity. Depending
on the type of fish, you can select the voltage (a bit of electrical
knowledge would be good) to stun the fish. The problem is that you can
also injure a diver and he can get really mad at you. The device is supposed to be secure for water usage since it has a dead-man-switch in case you fall in the water.
So my Padawan learner might want to get into other fishing techniques. And I hope he does as long as he doesn't blow up a lake or electrocute someone else, after all, fishing is a gentlemen's sport based on honest effort.
Happy fishing!!!!

Various Tackle and Methods for Fishing!
For pass time or for fun simple rods and poles can be used. Fishing in the sea is a major source of earning for most of the people residing near sea areas known as fishermen and fisherwomen.
A simple pole or stick which is fastened to the tip with hooked bait is known as the fishing pole. This poles used for Sea Fishing Tackle are made of various materials like fiberglass, carbon fiber, graphite or, bamboo. Rod is the sophisticated tool fitted with line guides. They are found in different sizes and length. Their length can vary from 20 inches to 20 feet.
Commercial fishing is generally done in seas under adverse conditions. It when done on a large scale is known as Industrial fishing. Heavy rods are used for deep sea fishing.
It is done using large nets and sea-going processing factories. These tools are making commercial fishing useful and efficient. Commercial fishing gear includes weights, nets, seine nets, trawls, dredges, hooks and line, lift nets, gillnets, entangling nets and traps.
Various fishing vessels are also used for catching in sea. A boat or ship used for catching in the sea is known as vessel. Currently there are four million commercial vessels.
Sea rods used mostly for sea fishing are designed in such a way so that they are able to capture large from the sea. They are approximately 4 meters long. They are very thick and possess huge and heavy tips, eyes and handles. Sport boats generally sue these long sea rods. Some specialized sea rods are also available for fishing. They are shark rods and marlin rods and are for use with very heavy equipment attached to them.
Fishing can be performed standing on the shore line of the sea. This type of fishing is known as surf fishing. Surf fishermen generally use telescopic rods. These rods are generally 12 or 14 feet long. A rod is enough for basic surf fishing. Surf fishermen also use terminal tackle other than rod and reel. The equipment at the far end of the line is known as the terminal tackle.
Sea fishing is thrilling and exciting. Gerry fishing, an online store possesses great selection of Sea Fishing Tackle like rods, blanks, butts and grips. Beef up your knowledge skills; go to the website http://www.gerrysfishing.com/.

How to Catch a 10+ Pound Bass
This is for the average Joe who loves to fish but wants to improve his or her game a little.
Some fisherman just love to be on the lake with a pole in one hand and a beer in the other. I spend a lot of time in this mindset myself. Others, well they're looking for that Hawg in the double digits. I've compiled a top 10 list of ways to improve your chances of Catching such a fish.
1. It should go without saying that the number one way to catch any fish is to get out on the lake. Too many anglers don't get out enough. If you are serious, you have to get out regularly and perfect your techniques. If you're on the couch you ain't catching fish.
2. To catch large fish, you have to go were they live. Plain and simple. Small private ponds and ponds on golf courses can yield great catches because they are seldom if ever fished. The problem is getting permission to use them. You should also check which lakes hold the state record Bass. In Texas it's Lake Fork. If you can, fish the lakes with big Bass records. If you still can't catch the trophy your longing for, it may be time to hire a guide. Go online and research the guides on your favorite lake.
3. Patience. When applying techniques for catching 10 pounders, you aren't going to be catching many fish. You will have to decide whether or not you can spend hours on the lake reeling in fishless lures over and over. You have to stay dedicated and be patient. Otherwise, slip on your "go to" lure and be content with 2 and 3 pounders.
4. Persistence. Try, try, and try again. I've known really good bass anglers who have fished for years before catching a 10 pounder. And quite often, they catch em' when they're just out fishing without any grand expectations. I was out with my oldest son teaching him how to work a Texas rigged worm. I was tossing one myself to demonstrate how to work the rod when low and behold I hooked into my first double digit Bass. It came when I least expected it to. I guess the point is, get out on the lake as much as possible and fish because you love to fish. With patience and persistence, you stand a much better chance of catching the big one.
5. Lure selection. Before you hit your favorite lake, talk to the guys in the tackle shop. Talk to other fisherman. Get online and join a blog or forum for the best lures and spots to fish on your lake. Most Bass fisherman, while protective of their honey holes, still want to talk about their experiences and accomplishments. Ask them what lures work best and under what conditions. When you decide on a lure selection, stick with it and experiment with speeds and pole action. Don't be afraid to go big with a lure either. Think about how big a 10 pound Bass is and go from there. Also, don't be distracted by all the ads for guaranteed bass catching lures that pop up on the web. Use what works for you and have been proven to work through the test of time.
6. To Boat or not to Boat. As long as you have a line in the water you can catch fish. That being said, if your on the bank you will be limited to few select spots that every other bank fisherman fishes. You can catch the big one this way, but it's less likely. You don't have to go out and spend $40,000 on a tournament bass boat either. There are countless ways to boat for less. I started out in a 12' aluminum john boat with a transom mount trolling motor. In all I spent less than a thousand dollars hook, line and sinker. Even though it takes longer, I could hit any portion of a lake the big bass boats could hit. I could even get into spots the bigger boats couldn't. You can set up a cooler with an aerator as a live well and fish tournaments if you like. Just don't venture too far from the boat ramp or you may miss weigh in.
7. Gear. Use what feels right for you. Bass don't know if your using a spinning, bait cast, or closed face reel. Until you get used to using something new, stick with what you know. You ask 10 people what the best gear to use is and you get 10 different answers for 10 different reasons. Stick with what you know. Learn how to use the new stuff when your out just for fun and relaxation. You don't want to miss a big Bass because your respooling a bait cast that keeps nesting on you.
8. Presentation. Bass get used to seeing the same thing over and again. Mix it up. If your "go to" lure is a spinner bait(like many Bass guys including myself) try slipping a gecko lizard on the hook all the way up under the skirt. Something as simple as this can have drastically positive affects on your outing.
9. Practice at home when you can't get on the lake. Throw a weighted line in the back yard and visualize your on the lake. Practice working your pole as if you were working a finesse bait. Set up scenarios and react as you would in real life. Get a buddy involved and have some fun with it.
10. The last tip I have for you on this subject is don't fish just to catch the big one. Fish because you love to fish, and one day the big one will come to you. Share your love of fishing with someone else.
