boat for fishing?

No Boat…No Problem!
by Nick Ruiz

For those bass anglers that regularly find themselves fishing from the back of a friends boat, or from the back platform of a boaters rig they drew in a tournament situation, they know all too well the difficulties associated with this arrangement. As a non boater, I can sympathize, as well as offer some advice on making the situation a little more bearable and hopefully, a little more productive too.

First of all, let me say this, quite possibly the most important step to being a successful back seater, is to approach the situation with the right mental attitude. Sad to say, many anglers, myself included tend to approach the fact that they are a non boater with the attitude of initial frustration, or self pity. On more occasions that I care to mention, I have obliterated any chances of my making a decent showing at the weigh stand well before I set foot on the back of anyone’s boat, by approaching with a poor mental game. I find not only does this effect the attitude and perception of your boating partner, but also transmits down the line into the lure. An angler that has no confidence in their presentation, stands a snow-ball’s chance in Hades of convincing a top predatory fish to accept a plastic imitation of its prey. The attitude I usually carry onto the back of the boat, now, especially in a tournament situation is that, assuming the partners boat is 20 feet long; the most I can be is 20 feet away from the same fish that he is catching. Which means that baring any major circumstances, there is no reason I cant catch the same fish he is on. With the mental game addressed, I would like to cover some of the actual physical things you can do to increase your productivity as a back seat angler.

Think different. This phrase, many times is exactly my attitude towards bait selection. Rarely, will I throw the same exact bait as the guy up front, unless the bait he is throwing is an established winner for that weekend. To give an example, say the fish are holding at 15 feet, and the boater up front is throwing a crank bait. I might pick a different bait that is fishable at that depth, in that situation I would most likely pick a spinnerbait I could get down there. Why, you ask. Simple laws of mathematics. Having two different baits down there significantly increases your chances of finding out what the fish prefer, than if you have two of the same exact thing in front of them. Another point on this note, is that if one bait is showing promise, I may throw the same bait, but I will most likely vary the color, or in some cases size, just to test the water and see if I can expand the pattern that was discovered. Once again, let me say, I will do this provided that there is not a definite money bait that weekend, as I said if there is, then I will by all means be slinging that right alongside the boater and hope for the best!

Another thing I hear non boaters complaining about, again, myself included, is the perceived lack of space in the back of the boat. I say perceived, because that’s exactly what it is, perceived. The very design on a bass boat alone makes it extremely fisherman friendly, with minimal obstructions to get in the way of casting as well as landing fish. Actually, one of the first things I do when I get on a partners boat, is to make a note of the lay out of that particular boat. As we all know, bass boats are for all intents and purposes laid out pretty much the same, but a Ranger is not exactly the same as a Triton, and so on. I make note of railings, consoles, and other things that can get in the way of a cast as well as look for places that I can position myself to make the most of the amount of space I have on the back deck. Actually, if you look at the lay out of the average bass boat, you realize that the casting space is divided about 50/50, with outward facing 180 degree "casting range arcs" to the front and back respectively. Many of the people that I meet that fish from the back of the boat assume the guy up front can cast where ever he or she wants. I say not true. I have yet to meet a boater that can cast directly off the back of the boat and not catch significant flack from his draw partner about having several unwanted piercing. Non boaters remember, just as you can not cast to certain places, the guy up front cant cast to certain places! I make the most of this fact. I try to figure out where the guy up front can’t get his bait, and try to get mine there as much as I can. I like to think of this as "untouched" or "fresh" water. Many times I have caught fish out of little areas where the guy up front can’t or is uncomfortable casting, which has garnered stares of disbelief and remarks such as "Where’d he come from, I just casted there". Its attention to detail like that, that makes life on the back platform a little more bearable.

Another thing I would like to talk about, which I also think is extremely important to being a non boater, is the respect and care for the boaters boat and property. I have seen on several occasions where there is a total lack of respect and care for the boaters boat, where there is either fish attractant, or a drink spilled on a carpet, or where there are discarded soft plastics strewn about the deck. I like to think of it as you are a guest on the boat, and all common guest manners apply. Another way to exercise manners is in the amount of tackle you bring as a non boater draw. I limit myself to one bag and no more than 5 or 6 rods, and a very small cooler, when I am set up in a random partner draw tournament. Nothing can spell disaster for the boater, co-angler relationship, than a partner strolling down the dock with 4 gigantic tackle bags, a giant igloo cooler, and 15 rods. I have often suggested to friends of mine, who are also non boater, to put themselves in the position of the boater, and imagine you, watching yourself come down the dock. What would your first impression be. I find it amusing to watch some of their reactions. By simply exercising common courtesy, you will gain the boaters respect, which in many cases can earn you a few extra favors and a few extra fish. One final note, a great way to make fast friends in the world of the boater is to by no means assume that once you weigh in, it’s your cue to grab your gear and make a bee line to your truck. Stick around and see if your partner needs help taking the boat out, wiping his rig down, or any other task that a little help might make easier. Word travels fast, especially on the tournament trails as to which non boaters are "good guys" and who are the ones to avoid. Besides, ninety percent of the non boaters out there will eventually be boaters themselves, which brings about, once again, the golden rule. The life lesson, not the measuring stick!

Well, with that said, I can only hope that I have helped to make a few co-anglers trips are little more productive and a little more enjoyable, as well as shed a bit of light on subject that is many times taken for granted. Now then, good luck to all the co-anglers reading this article, and I’ll see you at the weigh in!

Catch ya’ on the water!…

why angler love thier hobby?

Why Fish?
by Shawn McNew
www.seeinstripes.com

For those of you who have read my past journals, this month's journal will be a bit different. I have talked about tactics, lures, and other ways to catch fish. This journal is going to focus not on the "how," but the "why" behind fishing. I am going to try to dissect the reality behind hauling in a flailing critter, why do we do it?

Could millions of people around the world be absolutely out of their minds to think that catching a fish is fun? Some activist groups think so, but I don't think it's the act of sticking a fish that attracts us to the pastime. Fishing is a unique sport that pits one man against one elusive creature. It is simple, anyone can do it, and the rewards are different for every person.

In a way, it is like an aquatic version of chess. You set up your pieces in such a way that you can achieve your goal, in this case, to catch a fish. You can sit on the bank, cane pole in hand, but the fact of the matter is that you probably won't land many fish. Give a man a boat and you improve his chances tenfold. Replace the cane pole with a rod and reel, and again, you have done him justice. Now add amenities which many of us take for granted: LCD fishfinder, trolling motor, high-performance outboard, technologically advanced tackle, and a cooler of drinks and you have a fish catching machine.

My point in all of this nonsense is to figure out what fishing really is. It's like the eternal question of life, why are we here? With all of that philosophical stuff out of the way, let's determine why we pursue those slimy little suckers and what enjoyment it could possibly bring.

Okay, you spend a month and a fortune preparing yourself for one day on the water. Right off the bat, there's personal sacrifice in the form of time and money. Everyone knows that when you put effort into anything, it's extremely rewarding to have something to show for it in the end. It's kind of like putting together a 5,000-piece replica of the Titanic. It may have taken you two years, you may have gotten your hand glued to the table more than once, but you now have a beautiful model cruise ship to show when it's all over. Well, in fishing, you spend all of this time and effort in order to do one thing: land a fish. Whether you keep it or release it, the landed fish is the common factor in every successful fishing outing.

But what's so great about landing a fish? Why in the world are you and I compelled to land fish, or at least die trying? It is purely a hard-to-answer question. I'm sure there's as many answers to it as there are fishermen. That is why fishing is so great, from farm pond perch to bluewater billfish, the goal is the same, but the rewards are different for each person. It doesn't matter if you're one or a hundred and one, you can still catch fish. Blind, deaf, genius or mentally challenged, fish remain unbiased. Anyone can catch fish, and that's what makes fishing so great.

lure anatomy; colour tips

Don't Get So Wrapped Up In Color Selection!
by Roger Lee Brown, "The Bass Coach"
www.capital.net/~rlbrown

How many of you anglers who walk into Tackle Shops, Discount Stores, K-Marts, Wal-Marts, etc., go straight to the sporting goods department, look for the fishing rods sticking up in the air to zero in on the Fishing Lures and Plastic Baits section? Then, when you get there you start looking over all of the enormous selections of all the different baits and different colors that are offered by the many bait companies that are on the market today, and you're not really sure of exactly what is really needed, so "The Big Question" comes to mind; "What colors do I really need?" especially when looking over all the plastic baits. Well, let me tell you a little secret that most anglers don't know!, and that is; "You don't need a multitude of colors in your arsenal." That's right! and let me say it again..... "You don't need every color that you see!." Now, some anglers may suggest the comment; "well my partner and I use this certain color on this certain body of water, and it catches a lot of bass" or others may say; "I saw this magazine article from one of the top Pros, and he said to use this; yellow, spotted, half stripped, 7", curly tail, floating, thing-a-ma-jig plastic made by so & so, and I saw a picture in the magazine of the 14 lb. bass he caught off of this certain plastic bait, and now I've really got to have some of these." Now before we get started, let me explain something to you. The Bassin' Industry is a "Multi-Billion Dollar Industry" in today's world and growing more and more every day. Most of the Pros that lecture these "Bass Seminars" have an obligation to their sponsors to demonstrate, promote, and to advertise their sponsored product (Nobody gives anything for free anymore!). For example, attend one of their fishing seminars and just see if they don't try to sell you on a "certain product", or the technique that they may use with this "certain bait." There are more Outdoor TV Fishing Shows, Outdoor Magazines (related to freshwater fishing), Bass Tournament Organizations, Bass Fishing Sites (on the World Wide Web), Bass Fishing Clubs, Bait and Tackle Manufacturers, Bass Boat Manufacturers, Rod Companies, Reel Companies, and it goes on and on and on, as there ever was before. (That's probably why Bass Fishing is considered to be America's #1 freshwater sport!) And ALL! of these companies are in the market to make money.

Now, let's go even a step further, okay? What sells all of these products? Hmm, let's see now, advertisement (Marketing) and promotion are about the two best ways of selling a product that I'm aware of and I'm sure that there are more, but first let's concentrate on these two for just one moment. Let's talk about fishing shows to give you an example! I've co-hosted several TV Fishing shows in the past and let me tell you that "Most,"of the time, (Not All!) but "Most" of the fish that you see being caught on the show are caught prior to the actual filming of a show. Yep! now you might ask yourself; "well I saw the guy set his hook and then reel in the bass." All I can say to you is this; "Don't believe everything that you see!" with today's editing equipment, professional camera personnel, and the right camera shots anything is possible. So let me explain how it works; #1, you cast out the sponsored bait product (whatever bait or baits the show is sponsored by, keeping in mind that the fish were actually caught prior to the show, and in most cases on totally different bait). #2, while you start your retrieve, you rare back with your rod like you just got a strike and pretend to set the hook! (on actually nothing at all). Then the camera will stop filming. #3, then, you simply reel your sponsored bait back in to the boat, grab a fish (in the case of a bass show, a bass) out of the livewell and place the hook of the "sponsored product" in the fish's mouth. #4, Next you place the fish back into the water (with ease, and always keeping the slack out of your line), then you let the fish swim away from the boat. #5, then at this time, the camera starts rolling again and starts filming you fighting the fish back to the boat!...(Really quite simple!) That's how Most! of the filming is done.

It's not so much the bait, or color, or technique used to catch the bass during the filming, they just want to show you how much bass all of these "certain baits" can actually catch! (but do they really?), that's called Marketing, OR!, take a look at the packages of most of the baits today. They have to look appealing on the shelves to the consumer (this is called Packaging). Just keep this in mind!, most baits on the market today are made and packaged to catch anglers and not so much the fish.

Now, I'm telling you this because of all the different products and especially all the multitude of COLORS that you must decide on which ones to buy. Okay, let's get back to the colors...... First of all I want you to understand that I am NOT saying that a certain color of a plastic bait will or will not work under any different circumstances, but I will say that you don't really need more than approximately 2 dozen colors of plastics to catch bass on any body of water throughout the United States. Now stop and think a minute! There are, without exaggeration, on today's market thousands of colors and combinations of colors when it comes to plastic baits. Remember what I just said! I said only 2 dozen colors, and not hundreds of different colors!, whew!, what a money saver, Right!..... And, if you usually fish deeper than 20' depths most of the time, you don't even need to have that many colors. The reason is, is because the deeper a colored bait drops through the water it starts to loose the color of the bait itself. That's right, the deeper it goes down into the water the color spectrum starts to diminish. In other words, if you had a multi-colored plastic worm and you cast it out letting it drop to a 25' depth, the colors of that multi-colored plastic worm would be "Shades of Grays and Blacks" in that depth of water. Just like scuba diving, when you get down to a certain depth everything looks Black and White!, well the same goes for colored plastics (Now, how many colors does an angler actually need when fishing these deeper patterns?) It doesn't matter what color you throw into 20' plus depths because "All Colors" will basically all look the same on the bottom. The only difference now will be is your shade variations. So, why buy hundreds of different colors of plastic baits when they will all loose their color at deeper depths? (Makes no sense to me!) So there is a lesson to learned!, probably the most important factor to keep in mind when fishing with plastics is; "The Presentation" of the bait is what really counts! and not so much the color....... I teach my students presentations, techniques, as well as colors that they can use anywhere so they can be highly effective when it comes to catching bass on any body of water!

For more information on colors, baits, presentations, techniques, equipment, and just about anything you might want to learn about bass fishing, you owe it to yourselves to enroll into my 3-Day "On-Water" Bass Fishing School. You will not only learn what equipment, baits, and bass related items are really necessary to have but also how much money you can actually save yourselves by knowing what not to buy when it comes to baits and equipment.......Until next time!.....Take Care & God Bless!

The Early History Of Fishing

The Early History Of Fishing

FISHING, also called ANGLING, is the sport of catching fish, freshwater or saltwater, typically with rod, line, and hook. Like hunting, fishing originated as a means of providing food for survival.

Fishing as a sport, however, is of considerable antiquity. An Egyptian angling scene of about 2000 BC shows figures fishing with rod and line and with nets. A Chinese account of about the 4th century BC refers to fishing with a silk line, a hook made from a needle, and a bamboo rod, with cooked rice as bait. References to fishing are also found in ancient Greek, Assyrian, Roman, and Jewish writings.

Today, fishing, often called sport fishing to distinguish it from commercial fishing, is, despite the growth of towns and the increase of pollution in many sources, one of man's principal relaxations and is, in many countries, the most popular participant sport.

The problems of the modern angler are still those of his ancestor: where to find fish, how to approach them, and what sort of bait to use. The angler must understand wind and weather. Fishing remains what it has always been, a problem in applied natural history.

The history of angling is in large part the history of tackle, as the equipment for fishing is called. One of man's earliest tools was the predecessor of the fishhook, a gorge: a piece of wood, bone, or stone an inch or so in length, pointed at both ends and secured off-center to the line. The gorge was covered with some kind of bait. When a fish swallowed the gorge, a pull on the line wedged it across the gullet of the fish, which could then be pulled in.

With the coming of the use of metals, a hook was one of the first tools made. This was attached to a handline of animal or vegetable material, a method that is efficient only when used from a boat. The practice of attaching the line in turn to a rod, at first probably a stick or tree branch, made it possible to fish from the bank or shore and even to reach over vegetation bordering the water.

For thousands of years, the fishing rod remained short, not more than a few feet in length. The earliest reference to a longer, jointed rod is from Roman times, about the 4th century AD. At that time also, Aelian wrote of Macedonians catching trout on artificial flies and described how each fly was dressed (made). The rod they used was only 6 feet (1.8 metres) long and the line the same length, so that the method used was probably dapping, gently laying the bait on the surface of the water.

fishing history review

History of Fishing

The history of fishing goes back nearly as far as the fish. Fishing history dates back to when people of ancient times began fishing for food, when pieces of bone were used as hooks and lengths of vine as line. The oldest known painting of an angler using a rod or staff comes from Egypt and history dates it from about 2000 BC. Greek philosophers Plato and Aristotle mentioned angling in their writings, and another Greek writer, Plutarch, gave tips about fishing lines. In the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD, Roman rhetorician Claudius Aelian wrote about Macedonian trout anglers using artificial flies as lures.

The methods and tackle used for fishing evolved slowly through the centuries, and not until the late 15th century did sportfishing as it is now known really begin. In 1496 the book A Treatyse of Fysshynge wyth an Angle gave specific details for the first time in English about the use of the fishing rod. Written by Dame Juliana Berners, the prioress of an abbey near Saint Albans, England, the book describes the construction of hooks and rods for angling. The manuscript also describes how to tie knots in fishing lines and how to make and use artificial lures and flies to take advantage of the feeding habits of game fish. Dame Juliana's precepts were the basis of angling knowledge in England for about 150 years.

In 1653, English angler Izaak Walton published The Compleat Angler, or the Contemplative Man's Recreation, the single most influential book ever published about sportfishing. In The Compleat Angler Walton addresses the art of constructing tackle, the science of basic aquatic biology, and the philosophy of recreational anglers. Based on a lifetime of observations, Walton's book describes the craftsmanship involved in making fishing tackle and ponders the methods anglers must use to catch game fish. Walton also gives detailed accounts of feeding habits and life cycles of different species. He believed that the true angler is one who fishes for the love of fishing and that catching fish by sporting means is far superior to other methods of fishing.

Since Walton's time, anglers have continually improved their fishing gear, tactics, and knowledge of fish behavior. At the same time, many of the sport's proponents have realized the necessity of protecting fish habitats so that the sport may continue. Notable anglers and writers who have helped to popularize the sport include two Americans: Lee Wulff, whose books contain anecdotes and intricate details about fly fishing, and A. J. McClane, the author of numerous fishing guidebooks.

Through the years, men have dominated sportfishing, but in the late 20th century women took up the sport in increasing numbers. Books by American fly-fishing instructors such as Joan Wulff have resulted in fly-fishing schools, organizations, and specially designed tackle for women. The increased participation of women has been an important part of an overall rise in tourism and business associated with sportfishing.

fishing history

fishing is an ancient practice that dates back at least to the Upper Paleolithic period which began about 40,000 years ago.^[1][2] Archaeological features such as shell middens,^[3] 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.

Ancient history

Ancient representations

Egyptians bringing in fish, and splitting for salting.

Poseidon/Neptune sculpture in Copenhagen Port.

Moche Fisherman. 300 A.D. Larco Museum Collection Lima, Peru.

The ancient river Nile was full of fish; fresh and dried fish were a staple food for much of the population.^[4] The Egyptians invented various implements and methods for fishing and these are clearly illustrated in tomb scenes, drawings, and papyrus documents. Simple reed boats served for fishing. Woven nets, weir baskets made from willow branches, harpoons and hook and line (the hooks having a length of between eight millimetres and eighteen centimetres) were all being used. By the 12th dynasty, metal hooks with barbs were being used. As is fairly common today, the fish were clubbed to death after capture. Nile perch, catfish and eels were among the most important fish. Some representations hint at fishing being pursued as a pastime.

In India, the Pandyas, a classical Dravidian Tamil kingdom, were known for the pearl fishery as early as the 1st century BC. Their seaport Tuticorin was known for deep sea pearl fishing. The paravas, a Tamil caste centred in Tuticorin, developed a rich community because of their pearl trade, navigation knowledge and fisheries.

Fishing scenes are rarely represented in ancient Greek culture, a reflection of the low social status of fishing. There is a wine cup, dating from 510�500 BC, that shows a boy crouched on a rock with a fishing-rod in his right hand and a basket in his left. In the water below, a rounded object of the same material with an opening on the top. This has been identified as a fish-cage used for keeping live fish, or as a fish-trap. It is clearly not a net. This object is currently in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.^[5]

Pictorial evidence of Roman fishing comes from mosaics which show fishing from boats with rod and line as well as nets. Various species such as conger, lobster, sea urchin, octopus and cuttlefish are illustrated.^[6] In a parody of fishing, a type of gladiator called retiarius was armed with a trident and a casting-net. He would fight against the murmillo, who carried a short sword and a helmet with the image of a fish on the front.

The Greco-Roman sea god Neptune is depicted as wielding a fishing trident.

In Norse mythology the sea giantess Rán uses a fishing net to trap lost sailors.

The Moche people of ancient Peru depicted fisherman in their ceramics. ^[7]

Ancient literature

There are numerous references to fishing in ancient literature; in most cases, however, the descriptions of nets and fishing-gear do not go into detail, and the equipment is described in general terms. An early example from the Bible in Job 41:7: Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons? or his head with fish spears?.

Fishing , tacuinum sanitatis casanatensis (XIV century)

The Greek historian Polybius (ca 203 BC-120 BC), in his Histories, describes hunting for swordfish by using a harpoon with a barbed and detachable head.^[8]

Oppian of Corycus, a Greek author wrote a major treatise on sea fishing, the Halieulica or Halieutika, composed between 177 and 180. This is the earliest such work to have survived intact to the modern day. Oppian describes various means of fishing including the use of nets cast from boats, scoop nets held open by a hoop, spears and tridents, and various traps "which work while their masters sleep". Oppian's description of fishing with a "motionless" net is also very interesting:

The fishers set up very light nets of buoyant flax and wheel in a circle round about while they violently strike the surface of the sea with their oars and make a din with sweeping blow of poles. At the flashing of the swift oars and the noise the fish bound in terror and rush into the bosom of the net which stands at rest, thinking it to be a shelter: foolish fishes which, frightened by a noise, enter the gates of doom. Then the fishers on either side hasten with the ropes to draw the net ashore.

From ancient representations and literature it is clear that fishing boats were typically small, lacking a mast or sail, and were only used close to the shore.

In traditional Chinese history, history begins with three semi-mystical and legendary individuals who taught the Chinese the arts of civilization around 2800�2600 BC: of these Fu Hsi was reputed to be the inventor of writing, hunting, trapping, and fishing.
