Keep Yourself Informed Through Bass Fishing Reports
November 26, 2007 | Leave a Comment
There are many different bass fishing websites that post reports in their respective homepage to inform the sport fishers of the latest developments and events for bass fishing. The reports come from different places in the United States and other popular bass fishing countries, like Brazil are included in the report. It is posted either on a weekly, monthly, or even yearly basis.
The fishing report formats are compiled by each state where popular bass fishing sites are located. For instance, a website showing the latest fishing report on that day may have one angler posting his daily account of events that happened after a week of his adventure. He could post several observations pertaining to his bass fishing activity, such as the water temperature, weather condition that day, and his prediction for tomorrow’s weather condition. He could also report about the fish he caught and the techniques he used to lure his prey into the bait.
Weather can play an important part in how successful you can be on particular rivers. One of reports posted on a bass fishing homepage is the condition of some rivers across the country. In the website floridashiner.com, the fishermen posted that the fishing has been poor during a particular month because of the severe cold weather. Bass fish tend to stay deeper in the river or sea to protect themselves from the effects of the big drop of temperature. Overnight temperatures, according to them, were as low as 40 degrees Fahrenheit.
Another report was posted on the website fishandgame.idaho.gov stressing out the condition of the rivers in their locality. They had listed some of the lowland lakes in Idaho that is best in winter bass fishing. This includes the following:
· Mouse Creek
· Spring Valley Reservoir
· Mann Lake
· The Elk Creek Reservoir
· Deer Creek Reservoir
· Soldier Meadow Reservoir
Other reports posted on bass fishing websites are the latest developments in bass fish breeding.
They inquire if it is possible to combine the breeds of largemouth and trophy bass. They also wonder about the result if they combine the different breeds of smallmouth bass or peacock bass. For sure, they stressed, that combining different breeds of bass would certainly be another challenge for them.

Fresh Water Fishing: The Basics You Need To Know
November 24, 2007 | Leave a Comment
Have you had the opportunity to fish in freshwater? While some find it to be a distant relation to other types of fishing, it is still one of the best ways to spend your time. There are hundreds of lakes out there that you can be enjoying virtually any time that you would like to. To learn more about it, take a look at your options here.
Fresh water fishing is done in lakes, rivers and streams that have minute quantities of dissolved salts. Freshwater sources are precipitation or melting ice and snow. There are many fresh water fish species, but some of the most important ones are bass, catfish, pickerel, pike sunfish, trout, salmon, muskellunge, sturgeon and walleye.
Equipment for Freshwater Fishing
What you’ll need for basic freshwater fishing equipment includes a fishing rod and reel, fishing line between 4 and 10 pound-test, a variety of sinkers, a variety of hooks (sizes 6 to 10), floats, bait and in most locations, a fishing permit or license. There are a variety of both live and artificial baits that work well for fresh water fishing.
Bait You’ll Need
Live bait works well for fresh water fishing. Freshwater fish feed on a variety of prey, including earthworms, insects, insect larvae, frogs, minnows, chub, shad, crayfish and small fish species such as smelt. Freshwater fishing bait such as earthworms, crayfish, frogs, minnows, chubs and shads can be caught in its natural habitat. Look around piers and in shallow water. Freshwater bait can also be purchased from your local bait and tackle shop.
Artificial bait is manmade bait that attracts fish to bite or strike. It includes plastic worms, insects, flies, small jigs, lures, spoons, streamers, flies, spinners and more. Artificial bait can be purchased at fishing tackle and bait shops or online. Some anglers prefer to buy the supplies for these types of baits and make their own.
There are a wide variety of prepared baits that you can use for freshwater fishing. These include kernel corn, bread balls, cheese balls, egg bags, liver, cereal balls, chicken entrails. Here is just a short list of some freshwater fish and the bait that attracts them.

earthworms, liver, chicken entrails, hotdogs, frogs, tadpoles, crayfish and most lures. At times you can even catch them on shiny hooks that have no bait.
