Sometimes the best part of fishing is when you don’t catch anything but get a chance to see a sailboat silhouetted against a blue sky, listen to a bird’s song, or watch the beauty of a dragonfly as it skims along the water's surface.
Here's a good look at a South American peacock bass.
Their bright fins remind me of Australian perch but the peacock is usually bigger and DEFINITELY meaner!
That's Canadian angler and fly fishing virtuoso Kathryn Maroun.
I'm not sure what's up with her outfit.
I doubt if she was even alive when that was in style!
She designs her own clothing line.
Maybe that has something to do with it!
Until next time--watch your line and watch yourself!
One of the easiest to find artificial lures would have to be the spoon. Just about any species you can think of has been taken with a spoon yet, it persists in being one of the most under-used lures on the market.
You may think the spoon is another lure that fails to resemble anything in nature. At first glance, that may be true but, a fish responds because light can glint off the side to resemble bait fish.
One thing that keeps people away from fishing is thinking you need a boat to fish. Granted, there are some places you can get to only in a boat. On the other hand, there are places only a land based angler can reach and many think it's easier for a beginner to wet his line from the bank than the seat of a boat. All told, a boat hardly guarantees you will get more fish than a person on foot. It also doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll be in the “best” fishing spot.
Here's a pretty cool video from YouTube featuring European Angler Matt Hayes who is demonstrating the task of filming a fishing program for television.
If you think this video looks a little different from what you're used to seeing, it's because Matt Hayes is also a photographer and his knowledge of interesting camera angles and lighting is used in the making of this piece.
Berkley has introduced a great new lurefor Australia's anglers. Welcome the MF 40 to the wide array of products made by this fishing giant. The MF40 is a vibrating lure with the fish attracting scent of Berkley Power Bait. As you can see from the picture below, Berkley's new lure is also very flexible.
Most of the spinnerbaits on the market today are the "R-bend" or open bend variety. Some anglers like this feature because it prevents line from wrapping around the lure during casting. On the other hand, there are those who despise the arrangement because trying to use a snap swivel with an R-bend will result in the swivel slipping down the wire.
There are stop gap measures to get around this problem on the market but this solution will save you a couple of dollars.
It IS a nice shot. I did a little cropping but it stands pretty well without it. You know how it is--sometimes you may have to sacrifice a little because of where you have to stand or something like that. I liked it because it reminds me of a place near here where you can pull up, dock your boat, and get right out of your boat and go shopping. It's not really a dock because the sidewalk if concrete instead of the boardwalk like in the picture.
Cool post! I was just watching something on TV about the Box Jellyfish last week. I knew NOTHING about the Cone Snail , so that info was well appreciated!!!!
