Fishing is an activity I have enjoyed doing ever since I was a little kid. In fact, one of my first fishing voyages was with my grandpa when I was about eight years old. He was an avid fisherman who went fishing almost every day and knew everything there was to know about fishing. Grandpa got me hooked on fishing. After Grandpa died, my dad picked up where Grandpa left off. We had a pontoon, and Dad took my brothers and me fishing whenever we had the chance. To this day, I still love fishing just as much as I had on my first fishing trip with my grandpa. Many people enjoy hobbies that are relaxing and peaceful, and others prefer exhilarating activities that never have a dull moment. I enjoy fishing because it has some of both. When fishing is slow, I have the opportunity to observe the beauty all around me and time to think to myself. When the fish are practically jumping into the boat, I get to experience the excitement of reeling in one fish after the other in hopes of landing a trophy. Although planning a fishing trip can be overwhelming, and catching a fish may seem impossible, I enjoy all the preparation and strategy that goes into each fishing trip.
Going fishing is not just sitting in a boat and casting a rod and reel hoping that something will bite. There is a lot of preparation and strategy that goes into a fishing trip. Making a checklist of everything needed and putting all the fishing gear into the boat is only the first step. Once everything is packed into the boat, it is time to hook up the watercraft to the van and begin the trek to the lake. Navigating to the lake is only part of the journey; the other part is finding a public water access and carefully backing the vessel into the water. Once th...

...he same time. One day the fish might be biting a certain lure every cast, but the next day they will not even look at that same lure. Coaxing the fish into biting and determining what the fish will bite under certain circumstances is one of my favorite parts of angling. It's a rewarding feeling when I am able to convince a fish to bite on one of the techniques I have mastered. Although many people do not think of preparation for a fishing trip as very much fun, I consider it part of the fishing adventure. Preparing for the fishing trip is almost as much fun as sitting in the boat. Fishing is a hobby almost anyone can enjoy; all somebody needs is a fishing rod, some bait, and a license. Angling is an activity someone can enjoy their whole life. If my grandpa had not taken me fishing when I was little, who knows if I would enjoy fishing as much as I do today.

Fly fishing is a fishing experience that is unlike any other. Being up in the clear mountain waters just casting away, time flies faster than ever. Even on a day when the fish aren't biting, and it just seems like the nothing can go right, just being there is enough to pass the day. Then there are those days when catching a fish is effortless, every knot that is tied is perfect, and every cast is better than the last one; those are the days that are unforgettable. There have been times when it seems as if it is getting dark after just a few casts. Fly fishing is something that everyone should try. Fly fishing and spin fishing, how are they different; how are they similar? Fly fishing is the casting of artificial flies that come in all styles
My friend had invited me along with him and his family to the ocean. It was vacation for the family, but for him and me it was the beginning of a week of serious business. We had an obsessive hobby to pursue. As avid and long-term freshwater fisherman, we were thrilled by the thought of catching those large and exotic saltwater fish we had seen on television a billion times before. Yet little did we expect there to be such vast differences between our freshwater fishing and the saltwater fishing, which we were about to pursue. We learned through trial and much error that in order to have a successful saltwater fishing experience we had to make adjustments to all the freshwater tackle, tactics, and gear we knew.
Some of the motor skills needed are coordination, stabilization, gripping and transporting. You need to be able to grip the bait in your hands while putting it on the rod, as well as grip the fishing pole once you have cast your bait into the water. Stabilization is also important. My family fishes on a solid dock, but some people fish on floating docks or on boats which makes keeping your balance essential for this activity. Transportation is an important motor skill when fishing. While fishing you have to be able to transport your bait from the bait bucket onto the hook, then you have to transport the hook and line from the top of the reel into the water, and then once you catch a fish you have to transport the fish off the hook and either back into the water or into storage. Even though there are many different processing skills to fishing I believe that coordination is the most important skill of fishing. While fishing you have to hold the rod in one hand, and turn the handle of the reel with the other all while maintaining your balance. You are constantly faced with completing multiple tasks a once, and coordination will help keep the activity running
Fishing and hunting are alike because they are both outdoor sports that requires a heap of patience, but they are different due to variance in weather, equipment, and environment. Both sports require years of practice and knowledge of the hunters and the fisherman's rules. In the end, it is always nice to get the “big one” like a monster buck or trout. According to a recent report, patience in the sport of hunting and fishing encourages one to try and work hard to reach the goal of catching the large buck and the heaviest speckled trout. Having patience is a skill that hunters and fishermen work to improve.
Since the start of time, humans have been catching fish. The sport has, in many ways, evolved hugely, and yet in many aspects has stayed exactly the same. To me fishing is unique and I find it can be anything from relaxing to a very intense experience.
The types of fish that are available will vary with each type of location and conditions and the person manning a small fishing supply can also give you a quick orientation of what you'll need to catch the most common game in the area you expect to spend time at. If I'm traveling between islands, I'll generally stay away from bait rigs as it's just too much of a hassle and prospects are good enough with a simple lure. Depending upon where you are, however, the colors of the lures and the type of action will make a big difference in your ability to get a chase from the fish in the
While some anglers catch fish by simply sitting on the frozen water, others go onto the ice with heated cabins or other elaborate setups to make the activity smooth. The United States has designated public water bodies, including lakes and ponds, where people can carry out ice fishing.
Deer hunting is something people all over the world have done for many generations. Many enjoy hunting deer, and others don’t care much for it. Every true hunter has his or her own tricks for the game, but in order to kill a deer, you have to find the basic places they travel through every day.
There are different kinds of fishing that can help enhance your physical and mental state. Kayaking on the open waters or wading in a mountain stream are some challenging things to do that require some mental and physical effort.
As a bass angler with more than 25 years of experience it occurred to me the other day that in 25 years of bass fishing I've most certainly made a ton of mistakes and other people could learn from these mistakes.

Hunting is a worldwide event that has taken place for hundred's of years and is still a popular trait that is being carried on in today's society by millions of people. Although many people all over the world have experienced the hunting tradition, there are still many people who have not had the chance to experience the thrill of hunting and the excitement that is involved. There are many situations caused by hunting that can give an individual an unequaled sensation caused by an adrenaline rush and I can relate in many ways from the past years of hunting since I was a child.
There is an indescribable felling that occurs at Horseshoe Lake. It is a feeling of mild comfort and much needed relaxation mixed with exhilaration. The comfort comes from the light breeze, which quickly comes and goes while you are fishing. It is this breeze that allows your fishing line to float one way or another, thus doing the luring for you. The tall oak trees provide shade that prevents you f...
I’ve always found fishing to be kind of boring. I hate having to wait for the fish to snag your line, and it is even more irritating when I see a really nice size fish but just can’t get it to bite. I never thought there would be a much more exciting way to get the fish. The thing is I hadn’t even heard about bowfishing until about a year or two ago when one of my friends invited me to go out with him. I was just watching and learning for that trip, I never even got a chance to shoot a fish. However, I could still feel the excitement when my friend caught a fish and I knew that I wanted to make this new found sport of bowfishing a hobby of mine. I decided I would buy my own boat, my own setup and learn all I can about this sport so I could be ready for when I took myself and
I was introduced to fishing by my father when I was only 4 years old,
