Take A Fly Fishing Vacation In Antigua

If you are a fly fishing enthusiast then you probably spend time looking for new places to go participate in your sport. A lot of fly fishermen stay in the United States going to locales in Montana, Wyoming, and Alaska to try their hand. I would like to introduce you to a new world of fly fishing, the Caribbean. In the heart of the Caribbean lies the island of Antigua with incredible coral reefs and beautiful crystal clear azure water which is filled with the likes of marlin, tuna, Wahoo, tarpon,... Read more »

Safety Tips For Fishing On Rowboats and Outboards

Fishing on rowboats and outboards is the boat fishing combination you probably will use the most. It’s the most economical when you’re the skipper and you can go where fancy dictates, you can run up on a sandy beach for a swim and lunch or just to stretch your legs. You cannot do these things in any other boat you can hire for a day. Not at these prices. A rowboat without the outboard costs from two to five dollars a day, depending on where you are, size of the boat, weekday or weekend. But... Read more »

Caring For Fishing Waders and Boots

Waders and boots, to be of any use, obviously must be kept dry inside. In warm weather one often finds himself so damp that he may suspect his waders of leaking although usually it is only perspiration. Waders thus dampened should be opened and hung up so the air can get at them. Waders that are actually wet inside demand more thorough treatment. I learned how to dry out rubber boots or waders under somewhat distressing circumstances. I was fishing a sheltered bay on Bass Lake, Ind., during a raw,... Read more »

Surf, Rock and Jetty Fishing

When you fish any of these three places you’ve reached the pinnacle of inshore fishing. Surf fishing, technically speaking, is fishing at any sandy shoreline where the ocean beats against the beach. Rock and jetty fishing is surf fishing too, except that here the tides beat against something more solid than sand. The rocks and jetties - there is so little difference between breakwater and jetty that this book will treat them as one and the same - are no places for your wife or Andy or Peg to... Read more »

Tools For Making Fishing Lures

One of the most satisfying experiences a fisherman can have is to catch a fish on a fishing lure he has fashioned with his own hands. It is not necessary to be a skilled craftsman to make lures. If they possess the ability to handle the few necessary tools, they can make excellent lures. The lures may not look professionally perfect, but they will catch fish, and that’s all that really counts. And if the angler makes his own lures, he’ll probably catch more fish, in the long run. The... Read more »

The Truth About Fresh-Water Game Fish

Whether you’re a beginner or an old-timer a worm-dunker, plug-tosser or a dry-fly puritan you’ll want to know many things to get the most out of your fishing. Here in plain fish-talk is the low-down about Largemouth Black Bass so you can’t miss. Largemouth Black Bass This big fresh-water tacklebuster is a favorite of anglers because of his savagery when he attacks a lure, and because of his head-shaking, leaping battle when hooked. Due to transplanting, he now can be found in ponds,... Read more »

Tips on Finding Reliable Bait-Casting Tackle

Bait casting is the most widely recognized method of taking game fish on artificial lures in the United States, although the spinning-gear user (including the push-button fisherman) is closing in on the plugger’s - as bait-casters are called - long-time lead. All but a few die-hard spin-fishermen, however, would argue that husky muskies, big bass, and giant northern pike are best fished for with bait-casting tackle. The basic functions of bait-casting tackle, as with any fishing gear, are to... Read more »

How to Make Fresh-Water Spin Bugs

One of the most effective lures for black bass in fresh water is the so-called “bass bug” which is used with a fly rod. However, these bugs are too light to cast with a casting or spinning rod. But the angler who wants to use such tackle can easily make bass bugs which are heavy enough to cast. Such lures (which I will call “spin bugs” to separate them from the regular cork or plastic “bass bugs”) should weight at least 1/4 oz. or a bit more to cast well. They... Read more »

Tides - The Key to Good Fishing

It sounds like black magic but a thorough knowledge of tides and their influence on fishing in your area pays big dividends. It’s one key to success in salt-water fishing. Charter-boat captains and fishing guides know this and make a close study of tides, currents and their effects on the fishing in their areas. Many casual salt-water anglers, on the other hand, pay little attention to the tides and currents and then wonder why they don’t catch as many fish as the other guy does. Still... Read more »
