Many crappie fisherman struggle to get a consistent catch. Fishing for crappie is like any other sport you need to practice and you need to follow a set of guidelines and rules. I would like to give you some simple crappie catching tips, that can improve your crappie catch.
#1 Guideline – When you get out on the water do not just start catching crappie. Chances are what ever you are doing to catch fish will work at other locations too. It is very important that you map out a set pattern that you fish for the day at all the different fishing locations you go to throughout the day. To determine what pattern will work best you need to identify details like: Did you get your crappie hits when your crappie bait was floating downward? At what depth did the crappie strikes occur? Were the hits on the windward side of the structure you were fishing? These are just a few of the details you need to document and take a metal note of. As you get more experienced this list will grow.
#2 Guideline – It is very important to be very quiet when you are targeting any species of fish and that includes the sport of crappie fishing. I can guarantee that any slab crappie will scatter if you make any noises such as moving around in the boat, dropping things to the bottom of the boat talking loudly ext. The older the fish gets the more smart and cunning they become. Large crappies will move when when the sense any different from their natural habitat. Sound carries in water just as it does in the air. This is one of the easiest crappie fishing rules to adhere too. But you would be surprised how many rookie fisherman overlook this simple tip.
#3 Guideline – How many times have you been out crappie fishing and you get hungry and reach down and pull out a handful of chips or eat a sandwich, then you go right back to handling your crappie baits? Well crappie can smell the things that you just ate and the different smell may be just enough to cause them not to bite or move off. Next time you eat out on the water wipe your hands clean then rub them with some commercial crappie scent. You will be surprised how much this tip may increase your crappie catch.

Sport Fishing For Sharks
June 4, 2009 by admin · Leave a Comment
When you consider the various extreme sports shark fishing may not come to mind. However sport fishing for sharks is just about as extreme as it gets. Here are a few tips to help you understand the basics of this exciting sport.
People fish for sharks for various reasons. Some people like the thrill of actually participating. Others actually would like to catch a shark and if that’s your goal the best time to do it is in June.
The temperature is not to hot yet and you will be able to attract more sharks. If you decide to go a little later in the summer you should consider the water temperatures and find as cool of a spot as you possibly can.
Being prepared for a shark fishing trip is a must. You will need to include the proper gear and chum. You will want to choose rods and reels that can handle up to 300 pound fish or more. You will use three to five baits in the water at a time therefore you’ll need many rods and reels set up in advance.
You should use a rod that is a 50 to 80 pound class rod. Running chum is the best way to track the sharks to be prepared for the mess that leaves. Also be sure and bring a harness and safety straps so you do not fall overboard!
Sharks swim at different levels and temperatures. You want to know in advance what species of shark you are fishing for.
Keep your line out of the way and stay at the highest rock and holder on the particular side of the boat that you are fishing from. Attach your bait, attach a weight or balloon on the line, and implant it approximately 80 feet.
The second rod should go down 60 feet while resting in the trolling holder. This line is also attached to the midshipmen with a rubber band.
Your third line will be set down 30 feet with no balloon and rather free of bait. Also be sure your drags are loose so you’ll be alerted by the clicking sound of the real. If you color code your balloons it’s easier to see which one is being pulled on.
If you’re lucky enough to get a shark be ready. Sharks will be agitated and how they act once you hook one will be different.
Once you have a shark close to the boat have someone help you bring it in. You should hand wire the shark into the boat as those are sturdy and will not break.
If you are going to keep the shark gaff and rope in by its tail. Only keep it if you’re planning on eating it. Otherwise you can still get your picture taken without killing it and then release it.

Fishing Gear: The Basics Of Lures Explained
May 28, 2009 by admin · 2 Comments
When it comes to fishing gear one of the most important parts to your success is using the correct lure. Let’s talk a little bit about lures and how to choose them and use them correctly.
As a general rule of thumb if you are trying to catch a fish based on their sense of smell lures will probably not work. Lures are generally used for sport fishing from a boat.
They can vary from region to region or be used for different purposes. A lure is built to look like fish prey. They usually come equipped with one or more hooks to help you catch the fish.
You attach them at the end of your fishing line and throw them out into the water trying to get the fish to bite. You can also attach them behind the boat which gives it the appearance of a living animal in the water.
Some of the different types of lures are wobblers, jigs, spinner, plugs, spoon lures, fly lures, and worms.
Jigs can be used for almost every type of fresh water or saltwater fishing. They are made of weighted metal head and have a tail made from soft plastic, animal hair, rubber or feathers. You can also attach a minnow or some piece of meat to the end of the book.
Spoon lures are made of metal. They can be cast or trolled and look similar to bait fish. Plastic lures are thought of as bait you can be used like a plastic worm when they are cast to attract more fish. Plugs are made from wood or plastic and can be used on top of the water.
Spinners are a lure made of plastic or animal hair. They come with blades that spin around a wire shaft. The spinner baits are the lures with more than one blade that spin around a safety shaft. They have skirts made of rubber, vinyl, animal hair and other materials.
Finally let’s talk about flies and poppers. These baits are primarily used for trout, panfish, and bass. Fly tying is a harder to learn so they are not going to be used as much by the average fisherman.
Choosing a lure comes from testing and finding the one that works best for you. This will take some time and trying them over and over to get used to each one. It is an individual choice and when using this type of fishing gear lures are a personal choice.
