Angling Fish - Fishing Tips and News

It can really be a rush to see a fish jump like in the video. Sometimes fish jump in an effort to throw your hook.

After you've hooked up, it's time to quit worrying about snags! Lower your rod tip and make it a little harder for the fish as you reel it in.

Until next time--watch your line and watch yourself!

Spoons--the "Anytime" lure

June 28th 2009 01:03

One of the easiest to find artificial lures would have to be the spoon. Just about any species you can think of has been taken with a spoon yet, it persists in being one of the most under-used lures on the market.

You may think the spoon is another lure that fails to resemble anything in nature. At first glance, that may be true but, a fish responds because light can glint off the side to resemble bait fish.

Fishing without a boat

June 25th 2009 01:12

One thing that keeps people away from fishing is thinking you need a boat to fish. Granted, there are some places you can get to only in a boat. On the other hand, there are places only a land based angler can reach and many think it's easier for a beginner to wet his line from the bank than the seat of a boat. All told, a boat hardly guarantees you will get more fish than a person on foot. It also doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll be in the “best” fishing spot.

Here's a pretty cool video from YouTube featuring European Angler Matt Hayes who is demonstrating the task of filming a fishing program for television.

If you think this video looks a little different from what you're used to seeing, it's because Matt Hayes is also a photographer and his knowledge of interesting camera angles and lighting is used in the making of this piece.

Quick change spinnerbaits

June 19th 2009 00:29

Most of the spinnerbaits on the market today are the "R-bend" or open bend variety. Some anglers like this feature because it prevents line from wrapping around the lure during casting. On the other hand, there are those who despise the arrangement because trying to use a snap swivel with an R-bend will result in the swivel slipping down the wire.

There are stop gap measures to get around this problem on the market but this solution will save you a couple of dollars.
