Comment Noodle Fishing For Catching Tons Of Catfish - 02/21/12

Noodle fishing is a term that has really only become popular in the last five to ten years. Noodle fishing is also not to be confused with “noodling” which is the sport of hand fishing by running your hand into a hole in attempts to grab a catfish.

Noodle fishing is the sport of jug fishing but some anglers often refer to it as noodle fishing because of the popular way many anglers build their fishing juglines.

It has become quite common practice to use closed cell polyethylene foam (also known as swimming pool noodles) to make and build jug lines for catfishing so the term noodle fishing has gained popularity. This is really just a slang term for jug fishing for catfish.

Building noodles is something that can be done using a very simple approach or an even more advanced one. Some anglers prefer the simplistic approach of just cutting a short section of the swimming pool noodle and attaching a length of braided nylon twine, a hook and a small split shot weight. These setup is then baited and allowed to float in the water (hopefully catching catfish) and is most often referred to as a drifting jugline.

Other anglers prefer to take a more advanced approach to noodle fishing by adding additional implements to the foam to make the jugline “flag” or stand up when a fish bites the baits. The jugline is built with a ballast and other additions that make the jug tip up when the fish bites and this alerts the angler to their being a catfish on the line.

Flagging juglines were designed in Texas and became very popular on a regional basis but their popularity quickly spread all over the United States.

Regardless of which approach you take to noodle fishing, you are sure to have a great time catching catfish using these techniques.

Make sure you read the book how to make the best catfish juglines for jug fishing before you start making your catfish jugs.

Comment Carp Fishing Rods And Reels 101 - 02/21/12

The carp are distributed around the world, they are fished for food in certain part of the world especially in Asia and Europe. Carp are considered a sport fish and in the UK carp fishing is very popular. In North America, carp are still being considered as pest due to the damaged vegetation they caused when feeding on the bottom of lakes and rivers. With the help from groups such as Carp Anglers Group and American Carp Society, carp fishing is attracting positive attention from the public. Carp rods and reels are essential kit that you should pay close attention to when starting out into the sport. Picking the right gear can greatly improve your productivity.

Carp rods are made from carbon material which are thin, light and very durable. Most manufactures produce the rods in many lengths ranging from ten to thirteen feet and can come in two or three piece set. If you are buying a two piece set, make sure there is room in your car to store it. Some rods come with cork or foam grip just for aesthetic purpose only. The rod guides are made from composite or titanium material. If you are using braided line for carp fishing, the titanium guides are recommended.

When choosing your fishing rods, you should look at the test curve of the particular rod. It measures the amount of tension that the rod can handle. If you are fishing for small size carp, then a two pound test curve is ideal. However, if you are looking for the 40 pounds plus monster, I would recommend choosing a rod with a higher test curve such as 3 to 4 pound.

Another important feature that you should consider when picking carp rods is the type of action. Fast tip action rod provides enough power to sling the bait over long distance. The medium action type rod is ideal for hurling large bait such as feeder and PVA bags over very long distance. If you prefer more rod control and casting close to shore, the all through action is the one to pick.

You don’t have to purchase multiple rods all at once when you’re just getting into carp fishing. A good rod to begin with is a fast tip action with 2.5 test curve and 12 foot in length. You can add more rods to your collection as you get more advanced with your skills. Test out different fishing rods at the fishing shop and decide on the one that you like the most.

Carp fishing requires a reel with large spool to handle the long distance cast. The baitrunner reel is a popular reel to use for carp fishing. It has a drag system that allows the fish to pull the line without pulling the rod with it. You should try the reel and rod together to make sure you’re comfortable casting with it.

Comment Carp Fishing Tackle – Century NG Rod Review - 02/21/12

About the Century NG Rod

The NG rod uses the latest in carbon fibre technology, so if you’re into high-tech gear, this will do quite nicely. Carbon-fibre technology is considered to be one of the most important advances in multi-range carp rod designs in over 10 years. The manufacturing process employs an electronic rolling machine to insert a specific grade of carbon with extreme precision, which creates the correct action. The rod also has an elegant look, with a low-gloss, silk-grey surface finish and complex patterning. The patterns themselves are cut using an advanced CAD-CAM (computer-aided design-computer aided manufacturing) process that uses technology to enhance the design during manufacturing process. The result is a carp rod with tighter tolerances and superior quality. Benefits to the angler include consistent performance. The NG rod also has been tested extensively in virtually any situation an angler might experience. One important finding is that the test curve of NG rods does not alter or decay for an amazing three full years, a true testament to their quality. This is thought to be so because of the autoclave manufacturing process that helps to control both the pressure and temperature in the all-important curing stage. The autoclave process is the same one that’s used in the manufacture of jet aircraft hulls and race car chassis.

More Features of the Century NG Rod

Another aspect of the Century NG rod is its dynamic test curve rating that makes any fish on the line seem to weigh nearly one pound less, a feature you’re sure to appreciate during those long fights. The lightweight guides function to benefit rapid tip recovery. Century has put a GripFast handle on this rod, with a cap and collar made from etched stainless steel. The NG comes in a number of popular sizes, including 2.75lb, 2.5lb and 3.5lb. I’ve found that the 12 foot and 13 foot NG SU (stepped up) rods are exceptionally effective for long- to medium-range distances without the use of a shock leader. These two rods come with size 50 to 12 SiC (silicon carbon) lightweight guides. The action is revised and helps to protect the line when casting. This reduces the chance of crack-offs and gives good shock absorption with braided line. Another benefit is extra control when snag fishing. Finally, woven carbon fabric is specially placed in strategic areas to aid in resisting tip torque and aid accuracy. This rod sells for about £225.00 and is available at better angling retailers throughout the UK.

Comment Fly-Fishing For Northern Snakehead Fish - 02/21/12

Snakehead fish are here. They are a top-tier predator, which means they have very few natural predators, except for us. They are very aggressive and attack with a ferocious hit. To catch them, you will need top water flies, such as frogs, poppers and other type of splashy flies.

Snakehead Fish: Top Water and Aggressive

This will make a fly fisherman happy. Top water, aggressive, and hard fighting, what else can a fly fisherman ask for when fishing.

Check Out Snakehead Laws Before Fishing

While they are good to eat and fun to catch, you need to check out the regulations regarding snakehead fishing. Snakeheads are banned in 18 states and possession of any live snakehead will result in heavy fines and in some cases jail time.

Most States Want Snakeheads Dead

While northern snakeheads are growing in several states, be careful about regulations regarding bringing them home. Make sure you know what is required to carry them across state lines. In most cases, no live fish can be transported and will have to be gutted and all internal organs removed. Once again check, out the regulations before going snakehead fishing.

Some States Offer Rewards

You will find in some states there are rewards for catching these vicious predators. Top-tier fish will always be a challenge to any environment. We as true sportsmen want to make sure we do not endanger the species of fish we love to catch. Keep this in mind when fishing for the Frankenstein fish called the Snakehead.

How to Catch the Fish

Now that you have been warned here are some tips on catching this predator fish.

#1 Use braided notable metallic line. This will be handy because snakeheads have very sharp teeth similar to pike.

#2 Top water baits with a lot of action will be a first choice.

#3 Bring mesh gloves or gloves that will resist accidental biting.

#4 Have something ready to kill the fish with. In most states, you are required to kill the fish and you are not allowed to throw it back. Catch and release is a no-no.

You will find plenty of related material on the Internet regarding snakehead fish. Like any other species of fish, always check out your species, know their habitat, and of course, know the regulations and requirements before going fishing.

Snakeheads will be a great fish to catch. Just be careful, they are a highly regulated species. Good luck.

Comment Fishing Cape Cod Bay for Big Striped Bass - 02/21/12

Cape Cod Bay is one of the best places in New England to target large striped bass. The Bay is home to an enormous population of fish heavier than 25 pounds, and produces big bass even during the height of summer, when other locations dry up.

For the most part, Cape Cod Bay is 600 square miles of sandy bottom. There really is not much structure, when compared to the rips of Nantucket Sound or the rocks along the Elizabeth Islands. However the lack of structure certainly does not have a negative impact on the quality of fishing.

Cape Cod Bay, like most spots in our area, fishes differently depending upon the time of the year. With summer right around the corner, certain strategies and techniques will work better than others. Being flexible and having a solid gameplan can help an angler become more efficient on the Bay-leading to more big stripers hitting the deck.

Summertime Techniques

The biomasses of bass that invade Cape Cod Bay during the summer are not always easy to catch. Oftentimes the fish will only hit a very specific offering presented in a very specific fashion. At other times the bass will have lockjaw and be next to impossible to coax into biting. Of course there are those days when the bass are locked and loaded, and will pounce on any lure or bait an angler employs.

The two techniques we use most often aboard the Miss Loretta are trolling tubes and fishing live eels.

Red, orange and black tubes do a solid job of imitating the large sandworms and milky ribbon worms that reside in the Bay’s sediment. Not much effort is required to catch a large worm squiggling through the water column. This makes slow trolled tubes effective on aggressive, as well as lethargic striped bass. It is my belief that bass hold a “why not bite that?” attitude towards a properly trolled tube and worm-it is just too easy of a meal to pass up. Check out Understanding Big Bass Behavior to get a better idea of why big bass eat tubes.

My favorite method for fishing live eels is to use a reliable color sonar unit to locate a school of large bass. Upon locating a school, we will quickly pitch three or four eels right into the center of the pack of bass. If the bite is on, pitching eels in this matter will quickly eclipse the the number of fish taken by boats trolling.

On occasion we will also troll live eels on braid and leadcore setups. If the bass are spread out over a large expanse of water, and are holding shallow, we will skip a live eel across the surface. For example, on a trip last summer we located an area holding hundreds if not thousands of large stripers. Even though we were in 80 feet of water, the bass were holding just under the surface. Slow trolling eels on light spinning setups produced some impressive surface strikes unlike anything I had seen before.

If the bass are holding a bit deeper, say at around 25 feet, we will slow troll live eels utilizing leadcore line. After a lot of trial and error, I have found that our hookup ratio is best when the reels are left in gear in the rod holder. However sometimes the bass will miss the hook by nipping at the tail end of the eel, which can prove to be very aggravating. To help in situations like this we will rig the live eel with two hooks. This can be difficult yet it is not impossible and can yield a significant improvement in hookup ratio. Check out Live Eel Fishing 101 for diagrams on how to rig an eel with a tail hook.

Finding the Biomass

A mistake many rookie anglers make when fishing the Bay is to troll around aimlessly for hours, hoping to encounter a nice bass or two. I used to do this myself, and caught enough fish for it to seem like I knew what I was doing. At the time I did not realize just how much I was restricting my angling success.

Spending more time searching the Bay for its constantly moving biomass of stripers has now become the cornerstone of our fishing trips. Having a reliable color sonar unit onboard is critical to achieving a consistent level of success in Cape Cod Bay.

A typical trip will find us beginning our search somewhere off the coast of Sandwich or Barnstable. We will cruise at around 10 knots, keeping a keen eye on the sonar. If we see even just one orange blotch (which is what a bass looks like on my unit) we stop our search and begin fishing.

Marking just one fish may not seem like that big of a deal, however Cape Cod Bay is a vast expanse of water. Running your boat over even just one bass is a remarkable feat if you think about it. More often than not, that one bass is but one of hundreds of fish spread out in the immediate area.

It is not unusual for us to begin marking fish quickly after departing the dock. It is also not unusual for us to cover 20 plus miles, and spend five or more hours searching the Bay until we locate a spot worthy of fishing. We had numerous trips in 2010 when we did not drop a line in the water for the first few hours of the trip. Then finally, after covering many miles of open water, we would locate a concentration of nice fish and quickly load up the boat.

Comment Georgia Red Snapper – The Best of All Bottom Fishing - 02/21/12

I’ve been Charter Fishing for many, quite a few many years. As a Georgia Charter Fishing Guide jogging over 15 trips every season to Georgia’s 40 Mile live bottom (AKA Brunswick Snapper Financial institutions) above the past 15 a long time, proves this 2009 spring year far better than decades previous for massive (Mule) Red Snapper.

Soon after an hour of the 4-stroke outboards humming on our 31 Contender, we approached the R-5 Navy Tower 34 miles off the beaches of St. Simons Island in coastal Georgia. We stopped in very close for a bait check all around the tower legs. Thousands of peanut cigar minnows surrounded the north tower legs enabling an effortless bait-up for our crew, so we picked up fifty or so and pressed eastward toward the Snapper Financial institutions.

Any individual who reads my articles is aware of I am a bottom fisherman of several targets. Soon after all the good bottom I have fished, this day would be unique. Markings on the shade scope like I have never ever seen. The bottom actually “Blew up as we idled up to our vacation destination and zeroed out. The total crew stared in amazement at the shade scope like we were possessed. A hidden picture shot would have been priceless as all of us stood stared at the bottom machine with our mouths hanging open in dead silence. Lastly, I broke the trance. “Man, this is gonna’ be unsightly!”

This mark was on a 10-ft. ledge at the Brunswick Snapper Financial institutions and for some good reason this ledge generally tends to hold much more fish than any other in the region and it’s no secret range. It is really on any chart you decide on up from the Georgia DNR. This intensive marking rose 45 ft. off the bottom. It was textbook. The “fire engine red” marking stacked up substantial off the dwell bottom like this at a sharp angle into the current. Some thing any bottom fisherman seeks on any provided fishing day.

Soon after a scurrying rampage to get the rigs snapped on, we re-approached and positioned perfectly on leading of the marking in 117 ft., the first drop to the bottom didn’t fairly make it. At about one hundred ft., the Unsightly Stik thirty-60 Rod dumped around the gunwale and pinned our client to the stern of the Contender. “Fish On!” was about all he could manage to grunt as we all screamed for him to reel, reel, reel! Hold your rod up high! The seemingly prolonged, but brutal battle produced a 30-inch Red Snapper for our initial fish of the day. What an attractiveness…

As I photographed the fish and angler, yet another scream and feet shuffling advised me an additional Snapper had all over again pinned a person to the aspect of the boat. This round was won by an angler who boated a Gag Grouper about 17 lbs after a furious fight on a lighter Rod that we had at first rigged for Vermilion Snapper. I really don’t know how the three/ light wire hook didn’t bend or break beneath the pressure of the deep drinking water Grouper, but she held and the angler landed the fish.

I fish with my reels locked down practically as tight as the drag will go. When you hook up with a massive bottom fish, you never want any line to leave your reel. Lock all those drags down tight, preserve your rod up large and hold on! It is you and him head to head, no drag.

Soon after that Grouper, we decided we had much better adjust out all the rods rigged for Vermilion Snapper as the leader was sixty pound and the hooks were 3/ medium. I didn’t want to consider the possibility of losing a significant Mule or a giant Gag, so we rigged up with one hundred pound mono leader and much larger hooks.

“A limit of Georgia Red Snapper”

We had a legal limit of Mule Red Snapper in limited purchase and I could notify my boy’s last but not least had adequate. We have been releasing thirty inch fish by that level. Our crew begged for individuals massive Mule Snapper to quit biting! After a complete of eighteen, the tide changed and the Vermilion Snapper bite turned on. The crew have been relieved as their rods bent only half of what they had been with the Mules.

A restrict of Vermilion Snapper was obviously not going to be challenge, but as each and every 3 pound “bee-liner” hit the deck, it obtained quieter, until eventually ultimately my crew had ample of catching fish that day. There is a perception of satisfaction when all of us agrees their arms and back only can’t perform appropriately ample to catch a different fish! I don’t see this as a difficulty. I see it as mission achieved…..

You don’t need any “special” figures to catch fish on Georgia’s 40 – Mile Bottom. Go by the DNR company in Brunswick Georgia and pick up the public chart, or choose up the phone and give them a get in touch with. There are a great deal of very good amounts marking ledges and outcrops that are keeping lots of huge Red Snapper and Vermilion Snapper. This year has simply been a “stellar” yr for bottom fishing and this rings correct for Savannah Georgia and quite a few other spots on the East Coast in accordance to reviews from other Georgia Fishing Guides and Fishing Charter boats.

If you haven’t been bottom fishing and you would like to learn, there are a handful of things you’ll need to have to know about. Very first of all, the fish will need to be of legal dimensions. Dependent on what State you are in, it is really usually twenty inches. Be confident and verify your bag limit, too. In Georgia, it’s (2) Red Snapper for each Angler. Florida guidelines are unique and seasons use in selected area’s as very well.

The approach of releasing deep drinking water bottom fish is vital. When releasing an undersized fish or more than the limit fish, you ought to deflate the air bladder of the fish to permit him a protected return to the bottom. Or else, he’ll typically float on the surface area and eventually die. There are small resources referred to as “de-flators” or “vent tools”. Understand wherever and how to vent bottom fish correctly for release. There are quite a few posts all across the net about venting methods for bottom fish.

“The Arsenal”

When you’re pitching to major deep drinking water fish, you need to have a large bat to hit with. There is no much better bottom fishing rod than an Ugly Stik in my book. Here is my rig for Mules.

- Ugly Stik thirty-60 or 40-80 Rod
- Penn four/ High Velocity Senator Reel loaded with 80 pound braided line.
- 9/ Redfishone Brand Circle Hook
- 6 ft. of 100 pound Monofilament leader
- twelve oz. Bank Lead
- 90 Pound Snap Swivel

You can use the similar rod and reel for Vermilion Snapper but you may well adjust your terminal tackle a bit. Use 60 pound mono leader and (two) 5/ circle hooks. Some anglers use 1 hook rigs, me incorporated, but if they’re biting properly and you’re not on the verge of becoming worn out, use 2 hooks to develop amounts of fish.

If the fish are finicky, we’ll rig with a single three/ straight hook so I can actually set the hook rather of relying on the circle hook to do the task for me. When it comes to hooks and their styles and sizing for every single fish, it’s individual preference as soon as you have discovered the video game, so opt for your poison.

Your greatest bet for bait is stay Spanish sardines, but quite a few anglers do not have the high end of catching 50 sardines before a trip. Frozen Sardines, Boston Mackerel and complete squid can all be acquired the day in advance of your trip. Also, many anglers use bucktail jigs and other lures to entice Snapper and Grouper to the hook.

What ever you choose, get your kids fishing. They are long term of the activity. Tight Lines and Good Fishing to all!

Comment Fishing the Cape Cod Canal for Big Striped Bass - 02/21/12

The Cape Cod Canal is one of the most challenging and rewarding places along the entire East Coast of the United States to fish for striped bass. Few locations on earth offer the shore bound angler a better chance at hooking a bass in the 40 pound range.

The man-made land cut has produced spectacular fishing the past few seasons. The spring run of big striped bass has been just as impressive, if not more impressive than the famed autumn migration.

If this spring is anything like the spring of 2010, impressive schools of trophy size striped bass should enter the canal over the upcoming weeks. For the Barnstable angler, the 25 minute drive to the “Big Ditch,” as it is referred to by canal regulars, could very well produce some of the biggest bass of the season.

Timing is Everything

The canal will support a population of striped bass from May through October. But to really cash in on great canal fishing, a fisherman needs to be at the canal when a large biomass of striped bass moves through the land cut.

Unfortunately, it is inherently difficult to predict when this will occur. However it can help to stay up to date on Vineyard Sound and Buzzards Bay fishing reports. Stories of large schools of surface feeding striped bass in Buzzards Bay will often trickle in a few days to a week prior to a canal blitz.

These fish are on a northward migration pattern that often brings them directly through the Cape Cod Canal – as opposed to the longer trip around the arm of the Cape. At this time of the year the canal is filled with herring, mackerel, whiting and a plethora of other prey items. The canal naturally sets the stage for a world class fishing opportunity.

Top-notch fishing seems to occur in phases as biomasses of striped bass migrate through the land cut northward into Cape Cod Bay. Often time’s spectacular fishing will occur for a day or two as the school migrates through. A phase of slower fishing ensues, until the next large push of bass happens a week or so later.

I remember a Thursday morning last season when anyone who could cast a plug more than 30 feet was into big fish. It did not take long for word to get out, and by Saturday morning the canal was packed with anglers. However the biomass of bass had quickly exited the canal late Thursday/early Friday. I did not see a single fish taken that Saturday morning.

The Top Water Bite

The top water action at the canal can be downright nutty during the spring. Simply put, there are not many places in our area where a shore bound fisherman can cast surface plugs to 30 pound bass.

With that said, not every angler will cash in on the fantastic top water action this spring at the canal. Long casts of more than 200 feet are often needed to reach breaking fish.

Loading the tail end of an aerodynamic surface plug with weight can substantially increase casting distance without killing the action of the plug. Using ultra thin braided line and the best rods and reels money can buy will certainly help. However nothing beats a sound casting technique.

Bass are relatively easy to fool with top water plugs when the fish are honed in on larger prey items such as tinker mackerel. It can be a completely different story if the fish are focused on smaller prey such as juvenile whiting.

On numerous occasions last year, canal fishermen witnessed smaller bass feeding aggressively on small prey items early in the morning. All efforts to catch these fish went unrewarded as it was nearly impossible to reach these breaking bass with a plug that matched the size of the bait these smaller stripers were feeding on.

However as the morning and tide progressed, the smaller prey items were replaced by mackerel. Larger bass replaced the schoolies, and everyone began hooking up. Things change quickly this time of the year at the canal.

Working the Bottom

Nothing beats watching a big bass crush a popper, however phenomenal top water action is still the exception and not the rule. Anglers who learn how to effectively work the bottom of the canal regularly land large bass when nothing is showing on the surface.

An entire book could be written on how to jig the canal. Being able to locate productive holes and choosing a setup that will allow you to efficiently fish the bottom are two of the more important factors influencing jigging success.

The entire canal is littered with dramatic ledges and drop-offs that disturb the natural flow of current. These areas offer bass reprieve from a cranking current, acting much in the same fashion as a large building blocking a stiff breeze.

These areas look very different at separate stages of the tide. The tell-tale sign of a “hole” or ledge is the disturbance that the hole or ledge creates on the surface of the water. This area of rip water will be a bit farther down current from the actual physical structure responsible for the rip water.

It is possible to locate the exact location of the hole or ledge by counting the number of seconds it takes for your 3 to 6 ounce jig to hit bottom. By fan casting an area, an angler can learn the relative depth of one area compared to another.

Prime jigging areas in the canal will often consist of a leading edge that could be only 30 feet deep, followed immediately by a hole that bottoms out at around 50 or more feet. Finding these areas and placing your offering into the deeper gulley is the key to consistently jigging up cow bass.
