Catfishing the Right But Simple Way
There are a few basic methods that are effective in catching catfish. Bear in mind that specific methods are applicable to specific kinds of waters. That is because techniques and baiting mixtures are formulated for specific targets. The following methods are simple, yet proven successful when used: 1) Rigging method - Depending on the bait used, loop the bait holder or the treble hook from a line to a preferred distance to the end. Bait movement is not suggested; therefore, a weight must be used to allow the rig to be still. A good distance shall be about 18" to 24." Same as the first method, using the Slipweight to make the bait stable is also effective. The weight does not matter as long as...

Winter Bass Fishing - The Best Ways to Catch...
Bass fishing in winter is anything but easy. In fact it is one of the most challenging experiences you will ever have on a lake. Not only will it be cold and lonely out there on the lake but also you will struggle to get a bite most days unless you know exactly what you are doing and have the patience of a saint. Bass do not tend to feed in winter and will rarely catch on to your bait. Instead, they move very little and only feed when they absolutely have to. Some experts do argue this fact, but cold-blooded creatures are all the same and cannot physically move far during the colder months. In terms of their biology, the blood temperature of a bass matches that temperature of the water around them...

RIBS - Flexible Speedboats
Until recently I was a lover of all things land, that was until I sampled the delights of a RIB. A RIB for the uninitiated is a Rigid Inflatable Boat, to digress further it means the boat has a fixed hull and is buoyant from the use of inflated air tubes that run parallel along the sides of the vessel. So is a RIB any different to a traditional speedboat? In many ways yes, but the most essential aspect to a RIB is its speed so in effect it can come under the category of a speedboat. RIBs are crafts that can be utilised in many weather and sea conditions; RIBs provide a fast ride, which is safe as much as it is exhilarating. RIBs can attain speeds of 70MPH; the flattish hull skims the surface of the...

The Langebaan Lagoon was formed by the rising and falling of sea levels during pre-historic times. This is unlike most lagoons which form where fresh water rivers enter the sea (like Milnerton lagoon). As a result, Langebaan Lagoon is a purely salt water lagoon. As far back as 500 000 years ago, early Homo sapiens were probably present in the area, living in groups and hunting small game, displacing carnivores, such as lions, from their kills and gathering plant foods. They made fire as protection and for cooking and probably made simple shelters from branches. They probably used animal skins for warmth and clothing. They made wooden and stone tools. The town's European history began about 400 years...

Fly Fishing for Catfish
If you ask any fly fisherman if he gets any catfish, he'll probably tell you that he sure does... accidentally! Chances are, he's targeting bass, trout or crappie and a cat gets snagged somewhere along the way. On the other hand, if you ask a catfish man if he ever tries fly fishing, he'll probably tell you that it's just too darn difficult to catch catfish with flies. The truth is, it's not as tough as everyone makes it out to be. It's just that nobody does it. And, why not? For one thing, fly fishing works best for fish that are feeding near the surface, and cats are bottom dwellers. For another thing, catfish like to put up a good fight, and many fly fishermen have had fly rods snapped in...
Saltwater aquariums should generally contain fewer fish than fresh water tanks, because the species tend to grow bigger in size. Marine species may be bred in a captive environment, or caught in the wild. Captive bred species are easier to care for and usually hardier than caught species. It generates a great amount of stress for a fish to be captured in the wild and then introduced into an aquarium environment. It is often difficult for them to figure out how to eat. Whenever possible, purchase your fish from a retailer that deals only with breeders or from the breeders themselves. There are five different types of saltwater aquariums. The first type of saltwater aquarium is the fish only...
Silver Arowana-Another Excellent Substitute For...
Despite legal limitations, captive breeding challenges, and of course their high cost, the Asian varieties will probably always be the most sought after Arowanas. Perhaps nothing can compare with the splendor of Cross back Golden Arowanas. The brilliant coloration of Red Arowanas is equally hard to rival. No matter what type of Asian Arowana one considers, no other species rivals its status as King of the Aquarium. Yet for many, the King remains off-limits due to their geographical location and trade restrictions. Others simply cannot afford the prices Asian Arowanas command. What can you do if you're one of the many without access to your favorite fish? Until it becomes available, take a practical...

If you have never organized your fishing gear, you may have to spend a significant amount of time restoring some of it into proper shape...

One with your favorite spinnerbait, one with your favorite top water lure and your favorite crankbait and probably a...

The Goldfish of today originates from wild Asian carps, and all the different Goldfish variations are considered to be the same species: Carassius auratus auratus.

In the old days, if you wanted to head to the best spots on the lake or where the tides converged at that exact spot on the ocean, or the bay or the river, you had to own a boat.

More used to Grand Prix cars than dog sleighs, Monaco's Prince Albert's forthcoming trek to the North Pole has been greeted with surprise by many.

Saltwater Aquariums
Saltwater aquariums are the most sensitive and delicate aquariums that can be maintained. Saltwater aquariums resemble the oceanic environment for saltwater fish. Unlike freshwater fish, saltwater fish are very sensitive to sudden temperature fluctuations. Saltwater aquariums need to be larger than fresh water aquariums, because saltwater fish require more space than freshwater fish do. A saltwater aquarium can get overloaded with just a few saltwater fish in it. Larger tanks also avoid sudden fluctuations in aquariums temperatures. For example, if the heater in aquarium fails to work, the temperature would reduce very gradually in large aquariums when compared to smaller tanks. Large saltwater...

Wildlife Gardening: Attracting Wild Visitors
Why is it so Important? In recent years, the popularity of wildlife gardening has grown dramatically. Not only are gardeners increasingly aware of our declining wildlife and keen to play a role in its survival, but they are also discovering the joy of sharing a garden with native species. We share our small garden with birds, frogs, toads, hedgehogs and even the odd fox. Nothing quite beats the magic of breakfast outside on a sunny morning, watching the birds feed, squabble and sing.

Make Big Carp Fishing...
Certain big carp baits have endured the test of time over many decades. Some have especially proved themselves far more productive long-term for the bigger specimens. Many anglers desire consistent big carp catches and baits that can possibly 'level-out' differences between an angler's angling abilities, time available, monetary and tackle resources, experience and so on. There is no doubt among those anglers that use 'high' or 'balanced' nutritional value baits, that they produce long-term big fish results. Providing the essential dietary requirements of fish can very much determine the initial and repeated behaviour a fish has towards such a bait. Refining the taste of the bait is a very important...
How to tie Bimini Twist
The bimini twist is one of the better methods for developing a strong double in fishing line. It is one of the few that works quite well when working the super-lines such as braid or gelspun line. It looks a little difficult to tie, however, with just a little practice it is easy to master and great when worked in light to medium lines. If chasing larger game fish go with a plait, however, for lighter game fish it's quite okay. There is always a lot of debate about the Bimini Twists ability to retain original line strength. In reality that varies considerably with line type, structure and the pulling motion inflicted. Stretch lines tend to retain the original strength better than non stretch. A...
