About Fishing Techniques

Posted on Feb 15, 2010 under Fishing Lures | 3 Comments

 

There are many ways to fish, Here I will introduce some fishing methods that I familiar with to you.

Fly Fishing
With fly Fishing, various materials are used to design a very lightweight lure called a fly. Fish think the fly is an insect and they take the bait on, or just above, the surface of the water. It takes a little practice, but fly fishing is a pure and exciting way to fish.

Bait Casting
Bait casting is a style of fishing that relies on the weight of the lure to extend the line into the target area. Bait casting involves a revolving-spool reel (or “free spool”) mounted on the topside of the rod. Bait casting is definitely an acquired skill. Once you get the hang of the technique (check out the casting animation), you will be casting your lures right on target into the structures where fish are feeding and hanging out.

Still Fishing
Still fishing is a versatile way to go. You can do it from a pier, a bridge, an anchored boat or from shore. You can still fish on the bottom or off the bottom in ponds, lakes, rivers and streams for a variety of species. And you can still fish during most seasons and during any part of the day. Your equipment and the size of the hooks and bait you use depends on what kind of fish you¹re after. But your best equipment for still fishing is patience. You have to wait for the fish to bite.

Drift Fishing
Drift fishing allows you to fish over a variety of habitats as your boat drifts with the currents or wind movement. You can drift fish on the bottom or change the depth with a bobber or float. Natural baits work best. But jigs, lures and artificial flies will produce good results, too. You can drift fish on ponds, lakes, rivers and streams any time of the day and year.

There are a number of manufacturer on the market making quality products for salwater fishing – like shimano fishing reels, daiwa reels and penn reels.

does it matter what kind of paint you use to paint fishing lures?

Posted on Jul 25, 2010 under Fishing Lures | 5 Comments

I have a couple of vintage lure blanks and I would like to retore them and actually use them as well. I have heard people have used model paints and there is actual lure paint as well. Now I paint cars for a living and have a vast array of colors in my garage. I guess my question is if I used this paint would the fish be able to smell it or is that the reason why they make an actual lure paint?

Actually, I think the only reason for special "lure paint" is so they can charge more for it.

Model paint (lacquer) works fine, as does nail polish (a faster-drying version of the same). I’ve used both and fish have bit the lures just fine. Your car paint would probably work just fine — in fact, it’s probably more durable than model paint or nail polish. As long as the paint is fully dry, the fish won’t smell it at all.

How and where on my fishing line do I tie a swivel on?

Posted on Jul 25, 2010 under Fishing Knots | 6 Comments

I’m a beginner fisherman and am not sure sure what everything is even for. Say I’m using a spinner, where does the swivel go up on the line and will any knot work? Also with bait fishing will the swivel be in the same spot?

I use swivels between my Fishing line and my leader. I use an improved cinch for most of the knots I tie. You can learn knots here:
