Ice Fishing Anyone?

http://sites.google.com/site/smallusedbackyardboat http://smallusedbackyardboats.blogspot.com/ Ice Fishing anyone? Careful planning and preparation is all it takes to make ice fishing the greatest time of your life or the worst.   Easy?  Take a look at the following tips and see how prepared you are to catch those fish! Buy early Make a list of the supplies you used last season and replenish them early.  Make sure you get all those Glo-Buster Bluelights or Lindy Tazers.  All you need to remember is four words: wise up, stock up. Check the hole on the ice floor Simply put, make sure the hole is clean.  Chips or chunks of ice could cause entanglements in a fishing line and could make you lose a fish and therefore losing your chance of getting that trophy of a lifetime bluegill. Remember to keep the hole clear of any barrier.    Fish more, get the big four The bait you simply cannot go on without:  wax worms, minnows, assorted PowerBait, maggots. It is best to keep bait separated and as much as possible alive using coolers.   Clean `em all up   Inspect and clean the rods and fishing reels you are going to use.  Q-tips are best for taking out the nicks in every nook and cranny of your ice rod.  Non-freezing oil for lubing fishing reels is advisable.  Heat up Do not forget to bring those heaters and pounds and pounds of propane cylinders.  One cannot fish comfortably if he or she is as cold as the fish under the ice.  Ice fishing should be fun and feel comfy too.  House up The ice is harsh and cold but it doesn’t mean you have to feel that too.  Ice tents should be cleaned out as well by putting over a light coat of lubricant at the joints.  If there is any wear or tear, it is best to contact the manufacturer in order for them to send out the appropriate repair kit, as deemed necessary. Gear Up Better be safe than sorry, make sure you get a set of lifeguard spikes as well as a safety rope. Also, to feel less of the cold and at the same time be cool, pick up a fishing coat from the Carhartt Extremes Arctic Jacket.  Avoid frost bits on your toes and feet by acquiring the best shoes available.

Preparing Your Freshly Caught Fish

http://sites.google.com/site/smallusedbackyardboats * http://smallusedbackyardboats.blogspot.com

Preparing Your Freshly Caught Fish   To maintain the delicate flavor of a newly caught freshwater or saltwater fish, they must be handled properly to avoid spoilage.  Also, you’ll want to preserve the fish in such a way to avoid any unpleasant odor.  There are ways to properly prepare and maintain the quality just after the catch to enjoy a sumptuous meal.  Check out the tips below: 1) As soon as the fish lands avoid any contact with hard surfaces to prevent bruising.  It should be washed immediately by hosing or bucket rinsing in order to remove the slime and possible bacteria that cause spoilage.  Never use water that is from or in close proximity to marinas, municipal or industrial discharges.  To make sure, always use clean, potable water instead. 2) Simply chill the fish to prevent deterioration in less than an hour.  With a little advance planning, proper icing can be accomplished with the use of some relatively cheap equipment.  Fish should be stored in coolers and should be well chilled.  They  should be at least 3" deep, thus, covering every pound of fish with pound of ice.  Use chlorinated water per quart of water for the final rinsing. 3) Clean the fish as soon as possible.  Their meat tissue is  sterile, but not their scales, which contain many types of bacteria.  When cleaning fish, avoid rough treatment because wounds in the flesh can allow the spread of bacteria.  Gutting the fish does not have to be necessarily long.  It is wise to cut the belly, in such a way that  it leaves no blood or viscera in the body, and then fillet them.  Make sure not to soak your cleaned fish fillets in a prolonged freshwater as this could reduce the meat texture and it’s flavor. 4) The eating quality and nutritional value of fish can be maintained up to 5 days if properly cleaned.  Washing of the hands before touching the fish is also important.  No matter what fish and the cooking technique used, one golden rule is to be followed always.  Whether it is whole or not, cook exactly 10 minutes for every inch measured.  15 minutes should be allotted to fish enclosed in foil or sauce baked.  Double the time for fish if it is frozen.     Allow extra time if your fish will be baked in aluminum foil for heat penetration.  That should be an additional 5 minutes for fresh fish and 10 minutes for frozen.  In thawing frozen fish, slowly thaw in the fridge for 24 hours or let the wrapped fish be run under cold water, not warm.  Do not totally thaw  fish that's frozen before cooking as it may make it mushy.                                              Written by: Norman E.

BASS FISHING FACTS AND MORE

BASS FISHING FACTS AND MORE

The S.U.B.B. Story Box

BASS FISHING FACTS AND MORE Bass fishing has a fascinating history. It started in the late 18th century and continues to progress to present day. It probably was originally practiced in the search for food among the people in the southern United States. Since then, it has started gaining numerous audiences of all ages and nations. Today, countries such as Australia, Cuba, South Africa, United States and most of Europe participate in this kind of sport. • In 1932, President Franklin D. Roosevelt instituted the creation of the Tennessee Valley Authority that encouraged the creation and building of numerous dams. These dams were later used for culturing different varieties of bass. • Five years later, DuPont Company filed patent for nylon fishing net, this was later developed into nylon monofilament fishing line. • The year 1992 is one of the most glorious events in the history of bass fishing. Larry Nixon, one of the most famous fishermen in the history of bass fishing, won $1 M total earnings for this sport on this year. Bass Fish: Several fish species that are being caught in the bass fishing events are the following: • Micropterus salmoides (Lacepede) - Largemouth Bass • Micropterus dolomieui - Smallmouth bass • Micropterus punctatus - Kentucky Bass Other species of Micropterus are also caught but one that remains popular is the Largemouth bass. However, it should be emphasized that Australian Bass are different from the above North American Bass variants although most share similar features. Perhaps, the most robust success of Bass Fishing was in the 1950s. The popularity of the sport during this period was the springboard in the development of modern fishing equipment; from bass boats, to rods, lines, lures and various fishing gear. Electronic gear has also been incorporated into the host of equipment bass fishers used nowadays. New reels of different types, which function in hauling and hoisting, have also been introduced. The contribution of the bass fishing industry to the US economy records $50 to $70 Billion and the number continues to grow. Statistics show that the audience base of this sport has increased and that more and more people are getting interested in it compared to tennis and golf. By Norman E. Potter

Tips on Buying a Fishing Boat

Tips on Buying a Fishing Boat

Selecting and acquiring the ideal fishing boat is a real art for someone who has already gone through many experiences as far as boating is concerned. However, it can be a daunting task to those who have not yet experienced buying a fishing boat. To make the activity easier for the first timers, here is a list of tips that they can use when choosing an ideal fishing boat. 1. It is important to consider the purpose of the fishing boat. Buying a fishing boat has only one purpose: to be used in fishing. However, before choosing the perfect fishing boat, it is important to consider also the other purposes. First, the place where the fishing boat will be used should be taken into account. Will it be in the ocean or in other bodies of water like lakes? Second, the time of the day it will be used. Will it be for day trips or for overnight fishing activities? If the fishing boat will be used for ocean cruising and overnight stays, it would be better to buy a fishing boat that has a hull. This is specifically designed for rough waters. This design is meant to ride with the waves, hence, providing more comfort to anglers while on board. 2. The budget When buying a fishing boat, it is important to know if the buyer can afford to acquire a boat. Fishing boats, or any boat for that matter, can be very expensive. Hence, the buyer should know how far his budget would go as far as fishing boat prices are concerned. 3. The warranties It is extremely important to know if the fishing boat has a warranty. It should be analyzed and meticulously scrutinized because not all warranties are created equal. Hence, it is best to buy a fishing boat from dealers that will provide the necessary services in case their product is found to be defective. 4. The certification When buying a fishing boat, it is important to take note if it is certified by the “National Marine Manufacturers Association” (or the NMMA). This agency guarantees that the certification they give to every boat manufacturer is a guarantee that the fishing boat had passed the agency’s standard of excellence. The bottom line is that, people should do more than just look around when choosing the ideal fishing boat. They should learn how to look for the important details in order to ensure that the boat they have acquired is definitely worth their money Strminorman59
