How to Equip for Ice Fishing?

5/17/2015

0 Comments

 
Equipping yourself for ice fishing can be as easy as dropping a baited hook through the ice or hauling a miniature cabin onto a frozen pond. There are hundreds of pieces of ice fishing gear available—but in order to just pull a fish out of the water, you just need the basics.


1. Procure the equipment. In order to equip for ice fishing the you are going to have to get the absolute essentials. The basics are a few yards of line, 10 lb test will be enough. Get some hooks and some bait for those hooks.


2. Procure a cutting tool to cut the ice. You are also going to need something to cut a hole in the ice. You can either something as simple as a pointed stick or as complex as a gas powered auger.


3. Make sure to wear warm clothing. Since this can only be done in cold temperature you are going to need to bring lots of warm clothes. You may also want to bring an extra change of clothes just in case you fall through the ice and need to warm up.


Warnings


  • Be sure to check the ice thickness before you head out onto the ice. Safety is key and always let some one know where you are going just in case some thing happens.

How to Cast With a Surf Rod on a Beach

5/12/2015

0 Comments

 
This topic will give you some basic information that will help you to cast a fishing lure or bait a long distance from a beach. Fish are often found out beyond the breakers and a fisherman who is capable of casting a long way can usually reach these fish. The basic equipment required is a long rod-8 to 12 feet (2.4 to 3.7 m), and spinning or casting reel spooled with good quality line rated for about 15 - 20 pounds. This article will focus on learning how to cast. Future articles will cover things such as knots, leaders, hooks, bait and other accessories that are helpful to have.
Picture
1.  Begin by tying a 2 ounce sinker on the end of the line. Since this is just practice, don't bother with hooks or bait or any type of lure.
Picture
2. Reel in the line part way leaving about 2–3 feet (0.6–0.9 m) of line from the end of the rod.
Picture
3. Hold the rod with both hands, with the right hand slightly above the reel and the left hand near the bottom of the rod.
Picture
4.  Hold the line against the rod with your right index finger.
Picture
5.  Flip the bail over using your left hand and then grab the rod again. The right index finger should hold the line in place so it doesn't come off the reel.
Picture
6.  Stand sideways at the edge of the water with your left foot forward and closer to the water.
Picture
7. Hold the rod up vertically.
Picture
8.  Dip the rod away from the water and swing the sinker up and away from the water.
Picture
9.  Turn you body slightly to the right, away from the water, as you swing the sinker.
Picture
10. When the sinker and line swing close to horizontal, turn you body back towards the water.
Picture
11. Pull down with your left hand and push forward towards the water with your right hand.
Picture
12. Release the line from your right index finger as the rod swings forward towards the water.
Picture
13. Watch the sinker as it flies towards the water and keep the rod pointed in the same direction it was when you released the line.
Picture
14.  When the sinker hits the water, flip the bail back down and reel it in. If the waters are deep and it is uncommon to get caught in weeds or rocks, after the sinker hits the water allow a premeditated period of time (depending on the depth) to let it sinker sink. This helps as many fish can be caught on the sink.
