Fishing By Moon Phase: Increase Your Catch

Every fisherman dreams of a bigger catch! Is it possible to know beforehand when you should plan a trip to enjoy some fishing, catch more than usual, and come home feeling 100% satisfied? Based on my own personal research around the best fishing times, I think it is.

When I first started fishing, the best fishing time for me was whatever time happened to suit me. I tried different lures, baits and techniques until I'd spent a small fortune in my quest to improve my fishing catch. When I finally heard about the "Solunar Theory"--or fishing by moon phase--like most anglers, I was skeptical......Read More......

How to clean a fish: Video (Fish Recipe)

Herb barbecued fish

Squeamish warning

This is actually a fish recipe for herb barbecued fish, but the first part perfectly shows how to clean a fish for the table. This is something that new fishers often have trouble with and I thought that it would be helpful to post a video of the process. I am hoping to find a video of the proper filleting process too - so keep checking back for that in the future.

If you watch the whole way through you will also find a great recipe for barbecued fish that I have personally tried and enjoyed. In my opinion nothing beats a whole fish cooked on the BBQ with herbs, spices, garlic and ginger YUM!

Jigging

A jig is a type of fishing lure consisting of a lead sinker with a hook molded into it and usually covered by a soft body to attract fish. Jigs are intended to create a jerky, vertical motion, as opposed to spinnerbaits which move through the water horizontally. The jig is very versatile and can be used in both salt water as well as fresh water. Many species are attracted to the lure which has made it popular amongst anglers for years.

Jigging – This technique mengilat by mengujun (pull down) use fly in whose call 'jig'. Jig usually is made from tin plate / heavy object then established as fish and painted with warm colour and clear luminous or transparent.

Technique these require diligence and stamina high because angler must act all the time for mengunjun jig so it become effective. Jig will be stretched out to the bottom then dikarau back with the speed high while mengujun fishing rod alternate tidy process when haul speed. Technique become now madness can do either day and night.

Fly Fishing Tips - Woolly Bugger Lure

Uses

Woolly Buggers imitate lots of different trout food:

• dragonfly nymphs,
• damselfly nymphs,
• leeches,
• baitfish,
• Anything that might be alive and edible.

If you fish lakes, you should have lots of these in your box, with a mix of colors and sizes. They can also be effective in rivers.

How to Fish

Count-down-and-retrieve or slow retrieve. Vary the retrieve until you find what works best at the moment: slow and steady, fast, strip-and-pause, or quick, short two-inch strips. Also, wind-drifting works well in lakes.

Fish at all depths until you find the right one, but most of the time you should be fishing somewhere between two to six feet deep.

Video Tips

Boat Ramp Etiquette

I found this great little article during my web surfing this morning and thought I would share it with my readers. I recommend reading the whole fishing and boating article here.

A good day on the water can be spoiled by a lack of ‘boat ramp etiquette’. This refers to someone who has insufficient consideration or understanding for other ramp users, isn’t prepared and takes too long to either launch or retrieve a vessel.

LAUNCHING
Prepare your boat before approaching the ramp. This includes loading all gear, checking fuel, removing tie-downs, fitting bungs, turning on battery switch, finding the key, etc. There is nothing more frustrating for other boat ramp users than watching someone drive onto the apron of the ramp and begin doing all the above jobs whilst everyone waits.

When you boat is completely ready to launch, get in line and wait for your turn to use the ramp.

Always check a boat ramp before reversing down it. Check for length of ramp, drop-offs, etc.

Carefully back down the ramp and get the boat in the water quickly and calmly.

When launching use a long rope secured to the bow to control the boat and clear other boats and trailers. On larger boats an additional rope on the stern will assist in windy or wash conditions.

Have someone on board to immediately start the boat and/or move it way from the ramp so the next person can proceed. Park your car and return to your waiting boat that has been moved away from the ramp (the sand or nearby jetty) is a good option.

RETRIEVING
Extra care and patience are needed when returning to the ramp at the end of the day. Tempers can fray easily after a day of sun and excitement. Children will be tired. Alcohol can cause unhelpful behaviour so try to stay calm and be as prepared as you possibly can.

Organise your gear whilst underway back to the ramp, not once you get there.

Approach slowly in congested areas for the safety of yourself and others.

Queue on a sandy beach if possible or make sure you identify who is before and after you. Honest mistakes can occur but good communication prevents unnecessary aggravation and “pushing-in”.

Unload passengers and have someone get the car and trailer and wait in the car queue until it is your turn, whilst you stay with the boat.

When it is your turn, move quickly and carefully to get the boat out of the water.

After retrieval, immediately move well away from the ramp before unloading gear and preparing the boat and trailer for the trip home.

Check tyres, lights, tie-downs, wheel bearings and couplings before leaving home and on arrival and departure at the ramp, also at any stops on the way (check bearings by touching the hub with the back of the hand - if too hot to touch - the bearing has failed).

As a quick check on the bearings, jack the trailer and spin the wheel. Any noise or roughness indicates trouble.

Hook Not Hurt Fish

Perikanan Melaka's department will test type hook 'Circle Hook' to replace 'J Hook' to be used state fisherman this year in efforts reduce deaths species not target that falls victim catch.

Type hook Circle Hook test fisherman Terengganu since early last year found effective reduce protected species mortality as turtle, sea mammal or fish sailing, in fact succeed increase revenue their catch.

Furthermore, hook 'stainless steel' this increasingly popular his use in United States and Canada supply fish tuna yellow fin (Thunnus albacares) and enhance continuity rate for species who is not target.

Jabatan Perikanan Melaka's director, Zawawi Ali, said for the purposes of that his team ready to lend 20 hook this kind to be tested fisherman those interested and simultaneously help department promote his use in the future.

This hook design lined upright to fetlock and nearly circular (curved inwards), over vertical J Hook parallel (resemble letter J).

Study also found Circle Hook not hurt turtle because centre this hook curve no easy to hang at any that vertebrata parts of animals, simultaneously could kill fish.

Boating Knots: Anchor Bend

Ok this isn't a fishing knot in the normal sense of a word, but is a knot every fisher that uses a boat and anchor should know. The Anchor Bend knot is used for connecting the anchor rope to the boat, which is probably one of the most important knots on the boat! It is easy to tie and is a very secure and safe knot for attaching the anchor.

Top Water Bass Fishing - Stanley Ribbit (Video)

I must admit top water fishing is fairly popular in Australia, but is no where near as popular as it seems to be in the US bass circles. This video shows off a new lure called the Stanley Ribbit and from all reports the lure is taking the top water bass fishing by storm. The lure seem to have an awesome action. After watching this video I have decided the next time I visit my local tackle store I am going to look for one or something similar. I am sure they will work on our Aussie fish too. Enjoy!

My fishing list - All I got for Christmas

My fishing presents this year consisted mainly of hooks, sinkers, swivels and other terminal tackle that I really needed. At todays boxing day sales I was busy helping my wife ward off the bargain hunters and I forgot to visit the fishing section of my local department store and probably missed out on a bargain or two.

What I want to know is what fishy things did you get for Christmas?

Fish Recipe - Steamed fish with vegtables

As promised I have decided to post more fishing recipes for those who love to eat their catch, or for people who buy their fish (there is no shame in that!). Todays recipe is steamed fish with vegetables and is not only an extremely healthy meal, but is really easy to prepare. My wife tried this and I was surprised how much I enjoyed it (I am a fried fish type of guy). I hope this helps you with your next fish meal!

hook Anatomy and Construction

Commonly referred to parts of a fish hook are its point-the sharp end that penetrates the fish's mouth or flesh; the barb-the projection extending backwards from the point that secures the fish from unhooking, the eye-the end of the hook that is connected to the fishing line or lure, the bend and shank--that portion of the hook that connects the point and the eye, and the gap-the distance between the shank and the point. In many cases, hooks are described by using these various parts of the hook. Example: Wide gap, 2X Long Shank, Hollow Point, Turned Down Ring Eye Bait hook.

Contemporary hooks are manufactured from either high-carbon steel, steel alloyed with Vanadium or stainless steel depending on application. Most quality fish hooks are covered with some form of corrosion resistant surface coating. Corrosion resistance is not only required when hooks are used, especially in saltwater, but while they are stored. Additionally, coatings are applied to color and/or provide ashtetic value to the hook. A minimum, hooks designed for freshwater use are coated with a clear lacquer, but you can find hooks coated in gold, nickel, teflon, tin and different colors. Mustad for example produces hooks in six colors including black.

Fishing in antiquity

Fishing is an ancient practice that dates back at least to the Mesolithic period which began about 10,000 years ago.[3] Archaeological features such as shell middens,[4] discarded fish bones and cave paintings show that sea foods were important for survival and consumed in significant quantities. During this period, most people lived a hunter-gather lifestyle and were, of necessity, constantly on the move. However, where there are early examples of permanent settlements (though not necessarily permanently occupied) such as those at Lepenski Vir, they are almost always associated with fishing as a major source of food.

The Neolithic culture and technology spread worldwide between 4,000 and 8,000 years ago. With the new technologies of farming and pottery came basic forms of all the main fishing methods that are still used today.

Boating Terms and Definitions

If you are like me then, at some point, you have probably wondered what all those strange boating terms mean. When my old man told me to move to the starboard side of the boat for the first time (I was about 7 I think) I gave him a very strange look. When he explained what it meant I remember saying "why don't you just say right." That was the wrong thing to say!

If you are looking for a fantastic resource that will explain every boating term from ABAFT to YAWL then I recommend a visit to fintalk.com's boating terms and definitions.

Rock fishing safety

In Australia (and probably other places as well) people are killed every year rock fishing in dangerous conditions. We can limit these tragedies by following some simple safety rules:

Thanks for the NSW department of primary industries for these great safety tips.

• Never fish by yourself: fish in a group of at least three people and within sight of each other. If someone is washed in, one person can stay and help while the other alerts emergency services.
  
• Inform others of your plans: always let friends or family know where you are going and when you will be back.
• Wear light clothing: light clothing such as shorts and a spray jacket will let you swim easily if you are washed in. Jumpers may be heavy and difficult to take off.
• Wear appropriate footwear: cleats, sandals and sandshoes with non slip soles suit different surfaces. Use the appropriate shoes for the conditions.


Fisher wearing a life jacket

• Carry safety gear: wear a life jacket or buoyancy vest. Also bring something buoyant that can be easily thrown and held onto, to help you stay afloat. Carry ropes and torches.
• Never fish in exposed areas during rough or large seas: make sure you are aware of local weather, swell and tidal conditions before going fishing. Listen to weather forecasts or call a weather information line. Be aware that conditions may change dramatically in a short period of time.
• Observe first, fish later: spend some time (at least 30 minutes) watching your intended spot before fishing to get an idea of the conditions over a full swell/wave cycle. Wave conditions can get worse as the tide changes - you should know whether the tides are high or low and coming in or going out.
• Plan an escape route in case you are washed in: stay calm - If you are washed in, swim away from the rocks and look for a safe place to come ashore or stay afloat and wait for help to arrive.
• Stay alert. Don't ever turn your back on the sea: if the waves, weather or swell threaten your fishing spot then leave immediately.
• Ask for advice from locals who know the area: they can advise you of good, safe fishing locations.

Fishing Video - trout and pike with an infaltable boat (float tube)

Now where I live we have crocodiles, big ones, ones that tip over small boats and attack outboard motors. So I wouldn't be trying what the guy in this video does where I live, but I am sure it is a lot of fun when the fear of crocodile attack is far away (the loch ness monster may be another story though). The feet dangling from the bottom absolutely blows my mind - I cant even imagine doing that!

Seriously this video has some great trout and pike fishing action and even though it is long it is professionally done and easy to watch. You will have to visit the youtube to see this video

Fishing joke of the week

Unfortunately I have been sick this week and didn't get to go fishing as planned, so in the space where I would have told you how my fishing trip went here is a little joke to brighten your day.

Fishing Joke
No one in this town could catch any fish except this one man

The game warden asked him how he did it so the man told the game warden that he would take him fishing the next day...

Once they got to the middle of the lake the man took out a stick of dynamite, lit it, and threw it in the water. After the explosion fish started floating to the top of the water. The man took out a net and started picking up the fish.

The game warden told him that this was illegal. The man took out another stick of dynamite and lit it. He then handed it to the game warden and said " are you going to fish or talk?"

Fishing Knots and Rigs: Trilene Knot

The Trilene Knot is a strong reliable connection that resists slippage and failure.

The Trilene Knot is an all-purpose connection to be used in joining monofilament or fluorocarbon to swivels, snaps, hooks and artificial lures. The knot's unique design and ease of tying mean that it is a consistently strong knot with dependable connections. This knot retains 85-90% of the original line strength, which is above average. The double wrap of mono through the eyelet provides a protective cushion for added safety.

Rapala Lures

Top Water

Skitter Pop (saltwater)

With its unique loud-popping, cupped plastic lip and balsa wood body, the Skitter Pop can be used in a variety of techniques to take fish when they are surface feeding. The SSP12 saltwater model incorporates a rattle that is irresistible to hunting and neutral fish alike.

Skitter Walk (saltwater)

Topwater "walk-the-dog" perfection. The Skitter Walk's large internal rattle creates a rhythmic side-to-side motion and sound combination that drives fish crazy. Pump. Reel. Pump. Reel. Pump. Hang on! There’s nothing more exciting than fishing topwater for saltwater game fish. This is not a trolling lure. It’s designed for long and accurate casts and to walk-the-dog with ease. The experience of seeing and feeling a surface strike is incredible. Not for the faint-of-heart.

Fish Recipe - Fried fish with rosemary

I thought I would post something a little bit different today and include a video for a fish recipe. This is one of my personal favorite recipes and is also a much more healthy way of frying fish. You can use many species of fish for this recipe. It takes about 5-7 minutes and is so simple that even I can do it.



I am thinking about more posts like this one. If you like this type of post then tell me about it with a comment!

Fishing Video: King Salmon

This is an amazing video and really shows that fish are far from the top of the food chain. I have caught many fish that have come up as a half only, but I have nothing on what happened to this guy!!



Luckily the whale wasn't hooked, as I can only imagine the consequences of handling or gaffing such a beast!

VCD And DVD Angles

There are some VCD and DVD fished in my collection.Video angler from domestic or outside the country have me owning.Many ways that can us to learn from video fishing this.

I have several topics,for example as Ikan Terhandal Malaysia , Pancing Layang Malaysia , Tektik Tenggiri , Buru Gerepoh Serantau and others serial angler.

Coming soon me will show some series occur in video angle this in my blog.To angler may get knowledge from angle video that.

ways angle fishing siakap and jenahak

To fish sembilang, hook from number 4, 2,1 fine type can be used. It also fit to all types of fish estuary. Or, bigger size from number 1/0, 2/0 to 4/0 also suitable to be used.

Fish bait cut no giving such effect at the distance throwing those made. However it would contribute balance factor rope movement and wind resistance when throwing.

Importantly is rope size, long fishing rod and technique throwing. Not sure writer, bait fish as large as which those cut two to match with the size hook. Determine hook size could also refer to type of fish fugitive.

Jenahak under 1 kilo or fish tetanda suitable fished using hook number 2 to number 4 or prawn eye strain number 10 to number 13 size common use to fish sands kerisi.

If main line 50 pound, writer recommend use perambut catgut 80 to 120 pound own absorption force good to sudden jerk.

Ordinary Senangin hunting midway food and surface of the water, while red siakap more focused at the bottom bereba.

Over writer prefer to use Apollo's eye number 8 to fish sea fish or mengkerong. Eye apollo number 5 or 6 only need install bait (fish slice or market octopus). This technique very effective and productive without must to labour tie perambut.

Technique use bob also depend to ground state. Policies should coralline and rate got caught high then bait need to be hanged three fathom from the bottom.

If area landed hard or sandy, reserve that ladung and bait on to the bottom.

Rope 17 pound have the strength amount 7 kilo. Meaning, it can accommodate burden as heavy as that.

However heavy fish 1 kilo will give burden 10 double river from heavy his body when battle.

Skill control and adjust tension system at the level right can help angler handle fish 10 double river size than rope in whose use. In short rope 17 pound no problem to fish jenahak.

Fishing Knots and Rigs: Rapala Knot

The Rapala Knot is popular method to tie a lure to a line. It has the advantage of allowing the lures to move freely and unimpeded by the knot. It can be tied successfully in monofilament and fluorocarbon leaders.

This knot was invented by the Rapala company

Fly Fishing Tips - Fishing the Flats

I found this great article that I thought I would share it with my readers - If you are into fly fishing I recommend reading the complete article:

The flats are the shallow margins of the sea, fertile places where fish come in to feed, or cross over on their way to deeper water and other feeding grounds. The flats are significant for fly fishermen because much of the fishing involved on them is sight fishing and because of the tackle you can use on them. Fly fishing does have some limitations and the flats, apart from presenting you with many challenges, is the place where some of those limitations are the least apparent. Flats are found right around the country and can vary from offshore sandcays to gently sloping beaches. Flats species can be as varied as where we live - bream, and flathead are just two in the south and in the tropics they can range from longtail tuna to barra and permit. Where ever the flats you plan to fish are, there are some fundamental principle to successfully fishing them.

Most fish in shallow water are going to be shy and you have to see them before they see you- Polarised sunglasses are essential. Everyone has their favourite colour and brand and I prefer glasses in the red end of the spectrum - copper and tan are excellent. For me these provide the strongest contrast between the fish and the bottom and remove the blue light of the sky. Clear blue sunny days are obviously the best. I've used many different sunnies over the years, but the Aussie made Stalkers, are the best glasses I've ever used. A broad brimmed hat that shuts out most light is also important. I'm not at all a fan of baseball caps - some specially made peaked caps are good, and its important that the hat has a dark underside to the brim...

Simple paternoster rig

I have been looking for a video that explains a paternoster or dropper rig in a simple way for a long time. While this video isn't perfect (I don't really trust simple overhand knots on the main leader) it does explain the rig and how versatile it really is. I use a variant of this rig for reef fishing - I tie about 5 spare leaders and put them in clip lock bags before going out on the boat and it is a simple matter of re-tying after you get broken off or snagged.

If you are looking for a quick, versatile and reliable rig then I recommend watching the video.

Fishing Video: Lake Decker Bass

I found this great little video this morning with some real fishing action and thought I would share it with my readers. I have never visited the US or caught a bass (excluding an Australian bass), but I still love watching these videos. I could argue that there are better fighters or bigger fish, but the bass is a fishing icon and nothing can take away from what this great sportsfish has done for fishing.

I remember talking to a fishing guide who spent some time in the US. Asking him what he enjoyed most about his trip he had one word - bass. From then on I realised that this fish was something special.

Enjoy

Fishing Tips: Landing that big fish

A lot of fish are lost due to poor landing techniques. The first job is to clear the boats floor. Get the hoses, buckets, brushes, lures, and other rods out of the area. You don't want anything in your way while fighting, gaffing, or boating a fish.

Next, communicate! Crew and angler should talk to each other, especially if they're not used to fishing together. Landing a big fish is a team effort.
I you are the angler, yell out when you see the fish, or shout "color", and make sure the fish is under control as it comes up.

You should always stay directly in front of the fish - Remember "no angles, no tangles." You may have to make a few quick moves to keep the fish from going under the boat or tangling with another fish. Never be afraid of dipping your rod tip in the water. If the fish gets under the boat, you need to get the rod down as far as you can so the line will clear the running gear. Once the fish is under control, guide it into position and present it to the netter or gaffer. Never lift the fish's head out of the water, as this may cause it to react violently and break your off.

Fishing Boat - Sealegs

I was sitting in my office a couple of days ago reading my fishing magazine that had just arrived when I stumbled upon a review of the strangest looking sea craft/boat I had ever seen! So I thought I just had to share it with all my readers.

Sealegs is a New Zealand product and is basically an Amphibious Boat ie. a boat that you can drive on land, into and out of the water. Once you are in the water the legs fold up and you are in a regular boat! Its crazy, strange and extremely cool all at the same time! It would be great for a beach front land owner or someone that likes to launch their boat away from the crowds (or possibly someone that likes to fishing on the highway??) Enough with me explaining it though - you really have to see the pictures and the video!

You really have to watch the video, even if you only watch the first minute!

Fish Profile - Bluefin Tuna

Typical Habitat
Bluefin are a migratory species that are believed to roam according to food availability, water temperature and spawning habits. Very little is known about their patterns. Some scientists theorize that Western Atlantic bluefin will migrate between North Carolina and New England, following schools of baitfish, until they reach sexual maturity at age four or five. After that, it is believed that they migrate to the Gulf of Mexico to spawn, and return to the NC waters in wintertime.

Angling Tips
Catching giants by rod and reel requires the largest of high quality reels spooled often with 200 lbs. test line. The two primary methods are trolling with rigged natural baits or artificial squids on spreader bars and bait fishing on anchor with live baits or chunks of local prey such as herring or mackerel. The movements of bluefin are highly variable and there are numerous ways to lose a hooked giant. Therefore, catch rates are typically low in this fishery. This fact does not diminish the enthusiasm shown among anglers. The expenditures by thousands of hopeful anglers pursuing bluefin tuna in Massachusetts is an economic force in itself. Smaller bluefin tuna are fished in similar patterns as the giants, with a downsizing of rod and reel size and line strength to match the target.

Eating Quality
If you are going to keep one for the table take care to bleed and chill your catch quickly. Tuna should be carefully gutted also soon after capture. The bright red flesh is excellent on the grill after marinating in your favorite concoction. Be sure not to over cook and dry out the flesh. This type of tuna lends itself well to sushimi and can be eaten raw using wasabi and soy to garnish and spice the ancient ritual.

Fishing - What does it mean to you?

Fishing is one of those things where you can be sitting with someone in complete silence, but never feel closer. The day my Dad came home with a boat changed our relationship forever even though I didn't realise why at the time. Recently I was sitting out on the boat with my old man, we weren't saying much, but we never really do. It got me thinking about what fishing means to me. I bet when my old man has finally left this earth these are the times I will remember the most fondly. Now don't get me wrong I love catching fish and get pretty grumpy when we have had a bad day on the water, but the bonding I have had with my Dad, will in the end be what I carry for the longest.

If you have a son or daughter take them fishing - they could do much worse with their lives than quietly passing the time on the water. I know for certain that fishing has kept me out of trouble more than once. So go on get out there - you never know where it might take you.

So that leads me to my question - what does fishing mean to you...? Feel free to leave a comment.

Fishing Bloopers

I never know if this guy is just putting it on or he is a real a real dunce. However, I love watching his crazy stunts and laughing my head off. I am sure we can all relate to him in some way or another. I will never forget when my old man left the bungs out of the boat or when the steering was locked and we did circles about 100 meters out from the boar ramp for 5 minutes - if only I had a camera!

Enjoy this little video - if you like it leave a comment and I will post more of the silliness.

Fishing Video - Mahi Mahi (Dolphin Fish)

In Australia we call them dolphin fish, but they come go by many other names like mahi mahi, and dorado. They are an extremely fast growing fish, which fight well above average on normal tackle often making spectacular leaps in the air. They often school around FAD's (Fish Attracting or Aggregating Device) or other floating objects and schools often remain in the same area for hours providing for some spectacular fishing.

As well as being an amazing sportsfish they are also a great eating fish and most anglers are more than happy to see one swing aboard. They often fight even harder once in the boat and can thrash about wildly. It is best to quickly get them into an ice box to cool down.

Fishing Knots and Rigs - Arbor Knot

Do not boast hero

Purposely expose person to warm glow sun and heavy rain or dewy nocturnally was the subject need to be avoided during fishing in the pool, over river or lake more at sea.

Very hot will invite less comfortable and warm glow will dry scalp and person simultaneously throat will dry and thirsty that continued. As good as awake move, angler get find place shelter or use broad hat on the head as people cina wearing it current work in vegetable garden.

Covers the whole body with a soft cloth and can absorb sweat is best move but this should not in familiar, because say body skin we could not survive and it will be skin rashes or marked as ringworm, more dangerous if to let shirt wet that dry on the body.

Is to be hope so very hot and avoidable heavy rain but drinking water hot cold and not let empty stomach because worry about stomach to catch cold. If if this happen you will face deep nastiest a-state as the treatment unlike ashore, yet whatever state if disease this unabated best move was took the victim return

Remember one occasion quote from story a friend angle from Kahang Keluang Johor, exposed to warm glow long sun an angler fall and faint unconscious and finally die during the journey return to the jetty.

From this event can be made a lesson that we no should disclose person to warm glow sun or heavy rain assumed to assist segarkan body but suspicion that could not give accurate promise, hence our best move not commit matter that can commit we to evil.

Do not make very hot and heavy rain as game or purposely to attract notice friends angle that akulah champion but in fact action so something trap person as a person stupidest.

Sometimes rule less convinced but become, not even less who did not become although convince. God more powerful than all power create Nya hence to Nya that to we request on good way.

teknik memancing

Teknik memancing di semua perairan

Casting (teknik mengilat) adalah satu kaedah memancing dengan membuat lontaran umpan atau gewang ke sasaran kemudian mengarau kembali tanpa perlu menunggu umpan jatuh ke dasar atau diragut ikan.
Umpan yang digunakan untuk mengilat adalah seperti ikan, udang dan jenis serangga/haiwan. Umpan tiruan adalah replika gewang dan sesudu (spoon).
Ikan biasanya menerkam umpan atau gewang yang dilontar ketika proses mengarau. Teknik ini sesuai untuk aktiviti siang hari atau di kawasan terang. Jika mengilat sebelah malam, gunakan replika lut sinar.

Popping – Teknik ini lebih mirip seperti casting. Bezanya ialah penggunaan replika umpan tiruan yang berbeza. Teknik ini menggunakan ‘popper’ yang pelbagai bentuk dan jenis. Popper akan menghasilkan bunyi ‘poop’ ketika proses mengarau selepas lontaran.
Karauan untuk aktiviti popping lebih pantas berbanding casting supaya popper yang dikarau akan melanggar ombak/ permukaan air lalu mengeluarkan bunyi. Bunyi yang dihasilkan ini pula akan menarik perhatian ikan yang berkeliaran di kawasan berhampiran. Teknik ini boleh dilakukan siang atau malam.
Teknik ini banyak meniru pergerakan ikan terbang di permukaan air.

Jigging – Teknik ini mengilat secara mengujun (henjut) menggunakan umpan tiruan yang di panggil ‘jig’. Jig biasanya diperbuat daripada kepingan timah/objek berat kemudian dibentuk seperti ikan dan dicat dengan warna garang dan terang yang luminous atau lutsinar.
Teknik ini memerlukan ketekunan dan stamina tinggi kerana pemancing perlu beraksi sepanjang masa bagi mengunjun jig supaya ia menjadi efektif. Jig akan dihulurkan ke dasar kemudian dikarau kembali dengan kepantasan yang tinggi sambil mengujun joran berselang seli ketika proses karauan laju. Teknik yang menjadi kegilaan masa kini boleh dilakukan sama ada siang dan malam.

Bottom fishing – (pancing dasar) berkait rapat dengan teknik memancing menggunakan umpan dengan kaedah tradisional. Umpan perlu dilabuhkan ke dasar dengan sasaran tertumpu kepada spesies ikan dasar. Boleh dipraktikkan di kolam, sungai, tasik dan laut mengikut keadaan semasa. Sesuai dilakukan siang dan malam.

Drifting – (menghanyut) umpan terutama umpan hidup. Ia perlu dilepaskan ke sasaran tanpa menggunakan ladung. Pelampung dan belon sering digunakan. Ia sesuai di perairan yang berarus sederhana dan berangin. Boleh dilakukan siang dan malam.

Trolling – (menunda) umpan ikan, sotong mahupun gewang. Tundaan ini pada kelajuan perlahan antara 5 hingga 10 batu nautika sejam bergantung kepada jenis gewang yang digunakan. Perlu diketahui, ada gewang yang tidak boleh beraksi pada kelajuan tinggi dan sebaliknya. Lebih popular dilakukan siang hari.

Tips for fishing new water

I came across this article today and had to share it with my readers. It is really worth a read for any keen traveling angler. I recommend reading the complete article.

By Larry Elshere

If you love the sport of fishing, at one time or another you are going to venture out to a body of water you are not familiar with. You maybe going on vacation or pre-fishing for an up coming tournament event. It doesn't matter what species of fish you are targeting. It could be Bass, Trout, Muskie, Pike, Walleye, Cats, Pan fish or others. If you have a basic understanding of the fish, then you are going to be fine. The habit's of the fish do not very that much from one body of water to the next.

The same tackle you are presently using will be just fine. Before you venture to a new body of water, I suggest that you purchase a topographical map of the new location. Spend some time reviewing it. It is just as important for you to spend time in your living room, as it is on the water. The more time you spend in preparation reviewing the new water, the more success you well have. After you review the map and see the layout of the new water, you need to mark some areas on the map you feel will be promising.

Once you show up at the new location, have your map in hand, and talk to the tackle store and boat rental personnel, ask for their advice. They are more than happy to help you out. Ask how the fishing has been? Ask them about the species you are after, and where to go? Review the areas you have marked on your map and see if you have chosen some of the same areas. Find out what type of bait has been working the best for the fish you are after. If you don't have a lot of time to spend at the new water, you may want to hire a guide that specializes in your species...

Knots and Rigs - Texas Rig

I remember rigging my first soft plastic bait. After 3 failed attempts I had a soft plastic bait that looked more like something drained from the oil rather than a well presented bait. It almost ended my association with soft plastics then and there, but I persisted helped by some great videos that anglers have posted on the web. Here is one such video - Introducing the Texas rig.



The Texas rig is usually fished by throwing the soft plastic as close to cover as possible with the goal of placing the worm as close to a bass as possible. Try to let the lure enter the water with as little noise as possible and keep some controlled slack in the line as bass will commonly attack the lure while it is sinking to the bottom.

If the bass does not hit on the fall, let the worm rest on the bottom for a brief period and then begin to retrieve the lure in a very slow, jerk and pause motion. Be careful to always keep a little tension on the line because learning this technique is a lot about learning to differentiate between the feel of the bottom and the feel of a fish. (wikipedia)

Fishing Tips - Shallow trolling for trout

I came across this great article today and just had to share it with you. Even though I am not a big fresh water fisher I still love a bit of freshwater action (and no swell is always a bonus). I recommend reading the full article!

A lot has been written about trolling lures for trout. But little is penned about the under utilized shallows of a lake. Fly fishermen know about it - so why do so few lure trollers take advantage of the shallows?

The shallow margin of a lake is often where all the food is located.
This is because the light penetrates the water easier in the shallower water, which is essential for aquatic weed growth. This thriving weed provides food and shelter for insects and small forage fish. So it makes sense for larger fish, such as trout, to hang about these areas during times of hunger or opportunity...

Poseidon's construction and expected Hydropolis trigger 'madness' new world tourism industry.

Bellyful stayed at the hotel luxurious with equipment bathroom gilt or room which offered concept cowboy?

Hotel always try push difference to attract customer cause have hotel try show unlimited luxury or each room have unique concept that different so customer sense value exclusive

Attempt create difference already become deep normal thing hotel industry. However, this industry achieve extraordinary level when two hotel in the sea planned to build in Lautan Pasifik Selatan and Teluk Parsi.

This idea first time mooted by President US Submarines Inc., Bruce Jones, with resort centre Poseidon in Pulau Eleuthera, Bahamas, Hotel so planned about 15 deep metre sea and connect to the mainland through two tunnel and escalator with stress in it equivalent as land.

Have own restaurant, a bar and 20 large room with acrylic wall translucent facing rockery that can torched at light nocturnally.

Jones says, guest can see different kind tropical fish, tuna and turtle. If fortunate, get look shark from in the hotel room comfortable or when is in jacuzzi respectively.

"Design would enjoy five star service with a view sea in the world very exciting. More important is customer need not wear wet suit to to arrive their hotel suite," he said.

However, Jones's desire to realize his project in Bahamas not achieved as negotiations with the owner the island meet deadlock and after a year no solution, Jones forced move to different location

Ultimately successful Jones meet new island by Fijian and if everything goes well, new Poseidon valuable RM270 million will be built about 4.5 deep metre sea.

The project involve about 2,000 sq metre room with each room enable guest see the sea rich with coral.

However, Poseidon not only singly hotel whose will be built deep sea. This hotel have great competitor which offered concept that same, viz Hydropolis Underwater Hotel and Resort planned to build in Dubai.

Standard Hydropolis 10 star with the cost estimated about RM1.8 billion so planned to build about 20 deep metre Teluk Parsi's waters outside Pantai Jumeira, Dubai. Project area is about 260 hectare

Hotel so am being projected have three part, viz land complex will receive guest. This complex join to main area hotel through tunnel and transport equipment is train

As many as 220 hotel suite build which offered beautiful scenery as fish and living creatures different sea swim.

This hotel am being projected open end of this year, but have to be postponed because cost factor and issue environment as impact of the project for marine life causing opening hotel scheduled again to 2009.

Their loaded of course waiting in order to be main company stay hotel in the sea. To them, money is not more measure, but rich experience deep sea become struggle.

Perhaps when hotel in the sea become reality and normal thing, have developer will build hotel in outer space. If outer space tourism already become reality, not impossible big investment make to construct hotel outer space.

Fishing tip: Short Range Fly Casting for trout

(This is a great article I found that I wanted to share with all my readers - a visit to the full article is recommended.)

When it comes to fly fishing for trout most people seem very happy when they are casting around the 12-15m mark. What happens when the fish are closer?

Short range fly casting is an essential part of a fly fisher's repertoire however; it seems this is an area most people get into trouble. Why?

First let's look at the rod loading. To load your fly rod for any given amount of line requires a varied rod arc according to the amount of fly line off the tip of the rod. Simply put, "the shorter the amount of line the shorter the rod arc".
If you "do less work you will achieve more"

The old adage of ten and two will apply for a given amount of fly line but definitely not all scenarios. This variation is also dictated by the design of your rod and the particular fly line you are using.

A cast of 10 metres (approx. 30ft) when using a 2.7m (9ft) rod and a standard length leader of 2.7m (9ft) then only requires 4.6m of fly line, roughly one & a half rod lengths. In this case try a much shorter back cast stroke and then push the rod tip out to above your target. Remember not to direct the rod to the water or your fly line will crash, aim above the water!.....

Fishing Video of the week - Shark (great whites)

Now firstly I must say that shark fishing isn't my thing. That is not to say I haven't caught my fair share of sharks over the years, but where I am from sharks are a pain not an angling target. I remember my old man pulling up a 3-400 pound (estimate) shark in our 14 foot boat and to say we were a little bit scared when the thing surfaced is probably an understatement.

Having said all that sharks fight well and some of the smaller specimens can taste fairly good too with the added bonus of no bones!

This video focuses on the great white sharks, which are totally protected in Australia and are a very dangerous fish. Remember to only target sharks if you have some experience (and a decent boat). Enjoy the video

Fishing Video of the Week - Tailor (bluefish)

Well tailor is what we call them in the country, but this fish can be found all around the world. They go by many names including: bluefish, blue, tailor, elf, chopper, snapper blue, snapper, Hatteras blue.

They fight hard and it is often spectacular with fish jumping many times during a fight. They have a nasty set of teeth that can bite through fishing lines and sometimes wire leader is used. They are a pelagic fish that form big schools and feed on small bait fish like sardines. They are often caught in white water and in the surf where they hunt their prey. They can grow very big and the specimens caught in this video are considered small. They are an average eating fish and should always be eaten fresh. Never freeze a tailor.

How not to net a fish - video

In my last post I gave some pointers for landing a fish with a net (you can read all about it here). While I was searching for some good information I found a great video of what not to do when trying to net a fish. Hopefully this helps other people learn a little bit more about netting. I hope the poster of this video doesn't mind me showing all my readers this video.

I laughed at this video just a little, but I did feel sorry for the guy especially when he loses someone else's fish - possibly the worst feeling in fishing. It happens to all of us though!

Anyone with any experiences with losing big fish I would love to hear about it - feel free to leave a comment
