The Best Lure For Trout Fishing In Streams - Th...

May 18 2012 03:02 PM | Capt. Garry in Trout Fishing - Catching Trout in Lakes and Streams

What is the best lure for stream fishing trout? In my opinion, Panther Martin lures are the best lure for catching trout in streams by far. Using a lure when fishing for trout in a stream requires that it looks like something trout naturally feed on, that it can be casted with accuracy, and that the retrieve can begin before the lure hits the bottom and picks up moss or snags. I have used a lot of lures for catching trout in streams over the years and I have long ago come to the conclusion that Panther Martin lures are the best lures for trout fishing in creeks. Matter of fact, when I go stream fishing for German Brown trout, Brook Trout, or even rainbow trout, I leave with four or five Panther Martin lures as my entire tackle box!

How To Rock Pick Abalone - Rock Picking Abalone...

May 16 2012 05:28 AM | Capt. Garry in Spear fishing and diving

Rock picking abalone is a fun and rewarding sport when you are at the ocean in Northern California. How to rock pick abalone successfully just takes knowing a few rock picking tips which I will explain in this article. Getting abalone off of the rocks when there is a “minus” tide allows people of all ages to enjoy getting abalone without diving for them. Abalone are huge water snails that attach themselves to the rocks under the water. When the tide is extremely low, which happens a few times a year, the abalone are actually out of the water in some places, and getting them while walking to them is called “rock picking abalone”. Don’t get me wrong, they are not simply lying on the rocks. They are hidden in crevasses, between and underneath the rocks, and can usually only be found by feel and not by sight. So my friends, here is how to rock pick abalone in a nutshell.

Sight Fishing Bass, Catching Bass on their Nest...


Sight fishing largemouth bass is a favorite type of bass fishing for many black bass fishermen. What is sight fishing? Fishing for bass while they are on their nest in the springtime is one of the best bass fishing methods and the most popular bass fishing techniques employed by bass fishermen during the springtime. The bass are spawning in shallow water when the water temperature reaches the mid 60 degree range and are often visible from the surface on their nests and these males, who are the ones who build and guard the nest, are very aggressive and will attack any invader with full force and the intent to kill the predator. Seeing the bass on their nests as you search along for them, and then casting in to their nesting area is called sight fishing for black bass. Catching bass while spawning with a “creature” bait, such as a frog, lizard, fish or other lifelike lure by teasing these watchful future fathers can be a highly productive bass fishing method and one of the most exciting bass fishing methods you can find.

How To Catch Bullhead Catfish - Yellow Cat Fishing


Catching bullhead catfish can be fast and furious fishing when they are about to spawn. The water temperature for bullhead catfish to spawn is between 79 and 89 degrees but much colder when their eggs and sperm are developing and these yellow catfish bite best during this period. This time, when the water is cold and clear, is the best time for catching yellow catfish as their meat is firm and mild to the taste. Later, when the water warms up, they can get a little mushy and muddy tasting but they are one of the best eating catfish if you get them at the right time and place. Catching them is easy and fun. Here is how to catch bullhead catfish in a nutshell so take the kids and have some fun catching catfish as fast as you can reel them in!

Fish Spawning Temperatures, When Bass and Other...

Apr 29 2012 03:47 PM | Capt. Garry in Good Fishing Tips and Techniques For Catching Fish

The key to catching fish when spawning is knowing the right places to look and the water temperature that triggers the fish to spawn. The fish will move into shallow water and search for a place to build their nests when that spawning temperature reaches the desirable point and they feed aggressively in the couple weeks prior to when they spawn, so knowing the right temperature when fish spawn is a great tool to have in one’s tackle box of tricks. I have included as list of spawning temperatures for fish that are fished for sport most often below that I have gleaned from various spots on the internet.

What's up fellow fish seekers. I just started bassing in total seriousness here in N.J last summer and I can say that at night i look at all my tackle before i go to bed to make sure its clean, sharp, and ready to go. It's my dream to fish in the Bass Masters Pro and if you guys can give me some tips on how to make my way to that goal I'd really appreciate it. The fish in the picture isn't anything special, 4lbs, but i'll tell you what, I've never seen a fish fight so hard. What a respectable animal.

My gramma loved to fish. Well she did until she died. She was 95 years old when she passed. Gramps was long gone. Something about a fish bone being caught in his throat and gramma not having corn bread on the table that day to swish it out. At least that’s what his girlfriend always claimed.
