Right Boat for the Right Purpose
Friday, June 27th, 2008When looking out for a boat you must be aware of the fact that no single boat can do everything you desire. Every boat is designed for a specific purpose and is best suited if used for that purpose.
Boats designed to sail on the weekends cannot be used for a passage through the ocean or river. Quick acceleration and load carrying capacity cant be find in a same boat. You can buy a boat only for one or the other purpose such as for race or fishing in a pond etc..

Ontario Is A Fishing Paradise
Tuesday, June 24th, 2008With a huge variety of fish running its streams and rivers and residing in its lakes, Ontario is a favorite destination for fishing enthusiasts the world over. Known for playing host to the “big one,” this Canadian province welcomes tourists to enjoy the natural splendor its boundaries have to offer.
Before diving into a fishing trip in Ontario, however, there are some things a non-resident might need to pay attention to.

Tips for Smallmouth Bass Fishing in Ontario Canada

Concentrate on Your Bass Fishing
Thursday, June 19th, 2008I was watching a TV Show with Bill Dance and he was talking about concentration. I thought well this is going to be a boring show but of course, it wasn’t. Matter of fact it made sense.
Bill says Concentration not only makes you a better fishermen but also helps you forget your daily woes.
Learn something from every cast.
When you get a strike…..analyze it.
What was the cover?
What was the lure speed?
What retrieve did you use?
What was the water temperature?
What was the depth of the strike?
What was the oxygen level?
What was the lure color?
What type of lure?
What position was the boat to the cover?
Was the strike a slight bump or hard jerk?
Fly Fishing For Trout
Thursday, June 19th, 2008Fly Fishing is such a traditional sport many refer to as an art form, and compared to other modes of fishing, incorporates so much to learn in terms of casting technique, and more particularly the study of the trout’s diet, and their imitations, that it can distract anglers from focussing sufficiently on their quarry’s habits and behaviour. If you want to catch more Trout, and particularly larger Trout, you need to know more about the Trout than you do about casting and their diet.
Salmon Fishing Equipment
Tuesday, June 17th, 2008Lures, graphite rods, and a dazzling array of flies, are you sure you’re having the best salmon fishing equipment? Salmons are a picky lot and making them bit is a tricky business. Having the appropriate lure for a certain condition is considered fair salmon fishing practice.
How about encountering a 50 pound King salmon with only an 8 foot light tackle? You’d be cursing your breath for that little oversight on your part. Even your wife will be cursing you to death; I would if I’m accompanying you.
Fishing Bait Recipes - Including Recipes for ‘Catfish Bait!’
Tuesday, June 17th, 2008Before going fishing, it is imperative that you have some fishing bait with you to get those fishes biting. It is not that you have to go to some store to buy fishing bait; you can easily make fishing bait at home.
This is a homemade fishing bait recipe that not only catches catfish but also all other types of fish. All you need is ½ cups of raisins, parmesan cheese, brown sugar and corn syrup. Along with it, ¼ cup of apple cider vinegar and 1 tsp. garlic powder.
