Well I am back with my second article and it is exciting to see how many people are interested in the fun of fishing. These articles are meant for everyone. Some of the more experienced anglers probably know a lot about what I am talking about already but I think back to when I knew nothing about fishing. I wish there would have been something like that. Eventually this will be an eBook so take advantage of it while you can.
Okay now were going to talk a bit about rods and reels but mostly reels.
A reel is a device which lets you store an excessive amount of line on it. They allow you to cast way farther, fish in deeper water, retrieve your hook easier and in the case you get a big fish on you can control the fight much easier. The four types are fly, bait caster, spin cast and spinning.
Spin casting
We will start with spin casting because it is the easiest to use and it?s great for newbie?s just getting into fishing. The fishing line comes out of a small hole at the front of the reel. It goes down a straight handle to small guides. These reels are great for fishing pan fish such as perch or crappy.
Spinning Reel
A spinning reel is often called an open face real. The reason for this is because there is no covering on the line. The reel mounts underneath the handle and you can cast further because with the open face it allows the line to come off the reel with less restriction.
Bait caster
The bait caster usually has a straight handle. Once again the guides run on top of the reel. A bait caster is quite difficult to learn with because the reel turns with the line when you cast so if you?re not careful this is the easiest and quickest way to make a mess of your line that you probably won?t recover from without cutting the birds nest out.
Fly Fishing
In fly fishing the reel is really only used for one thing and that is to hold your line. The other reels use weight to carry your hook to where you want it to go but in fly fishing you have to use several arm and wrist techniques. Another thing that is important in fly-fishing is your momentum.
The one thing that is the same for all of these especially for beginners is that you will need practice to learn how to work them. Some are harder than the others with fly-fishing being the hardest but with practice everyone can become experts at the sport of fishing.
This will be the end of my second edition of my series on fishing. Keep reading my articles as they will get more informative and detailed as time goes on.

Rice Lake, located about 50 miles east of Toronto, was one of our most favorite family vacation spots for our children. There are numerous family oriented resorts and cottages surrounding the lake to accommodate a family vacationers. This is the place to go if you are looking for fun fishing, boating, swimming and socializing for a relaxing summer week. Every summer, we packed up our kids, along with fishing rods, fishing reels, tackle boxes loaded with brand new fishing lures, insect repellent, sunscreen and everything but the kitchen sink to take for our trip.
We usually stayed for a week in a cottage just right for our family of four. We traveled in a caravan of relatives and friends together for our summer getaway. Of course, there were numerous stops along the way, and our kids loved to swap cars and travel with a cousin, or friend at the stops. Once we arrived at our destination, checked in and unloaded....everyone headed for the water, jumped in their boats and took off across the lake looking for a good fishing spot.
Rice Lake is stocked with Bluegill, Crappie, Perch, Muskie, Walleye, Large mouth and Small Mouth Bass and Carp. Our favorite is fresh perch and bluegill-the best tasting meal after a big day of fishing. My son was hooked on fishing at Rice Lake the first time we visited that lake. My son was always on the lookout for a Muskie to snag on his line and the anticipation was the most fun part of it for him.
When my daughter was about 2 ? years old, she went on her first trip with us. I was worried that she would be fussy along the way, but thankfully she traveled well and loved the camp grounds. The first day out fishing, we took her along and she loved riding in the boat and making her first attempt at dipping a fishing line in the water.
We were fishing quietly at a good fishing spot for the bluegills and I heard her behind me in the boat counting quietly..."uunn...tooo ....freeee....fooor". I looked around and there she was, tossing our wax worms out into the water, counting as she went!! The fish were well fed that day and we had a good chuckle, but her brother was not happy with her since we were getting low on his favorite bait!
Another exciting experience for my son happened on a sunny afternoon when my husband, my son and I were out fishing and we ran into Bluegill again. He was 11 years old at the time and was fishing with an ultralite fishing pole. All of a sudden, his little pole about bent in half and he was really having a hard time controlling the pole, but he did not give up! After wrestling with it awhile, he finally got it to where he was able to get the fish out of the water and he had the BIGGEST Bluegill that we'd ever laid our eyes on!! This Bluegill had to be the Great Granddaddy of them all...had to be at least 1 ? to 2 lb fish...no lie! The sad part is, we stumbled and bumbled around trying to get the net out to help get the fish in and then it just dropped off the hook back into the water! And we have witnesses...it really happened. There were people fishing close to us that saw the entire struggle and gave a collected "Awwww!" when the fish got away! My son was MAD to say the least!
My favorite time was in the early morning, when my husband and I managed to get out on the lake by ourselves without the kids and fish in the early sunrise. The sunrise over the lake reflecting on the calm water is the most soothing and relaxing experience. The quiet of the early morning is especially calming and I missed that the most when we came home from vacation. I wish somehow we could just pause that moment in time and hold onto it for awhile.
The evenings were another enjoyable time in the day. We usually got together with all the families we traveled with and had a campfire in the evening. The kids played together, swam in the lake, played games while the adults chatted about the day and relaxed. Looking back, these are the most pleasant memories to look over. Sadly, my children's father passed away a couple of years after that, so it makes those memories very special for us.
Our kids are grown up now and starting their own path in live. My wish for them is that they keep up the tradition of the family fishing trips to keep their families close and make good memories for their children. In this world today, God and family is more important than ever for a good solid background and good moral values. I believe sharing a family sport such as fishing can bring those bonds and values to your children as they grow up and look back on their childhood memories.

Trout Fishing Tips - In Search of the Trophy Trout
Have you ever dreamed of landing that big trout? Fishing for trout of any size is great fun, but I'm talking about those ten to twelve pounders, or even larger. You can do it, but first you have to find them.
Unless you live in the remote back country of the west, or some place where you have access to areas that have not had a lot of fishing pressure, then you have been limited to that kind of trout fishing, and like most of us, have settled for catching and releasing countless ten inch stock trout. Today we have to search out those places where the big fish can be found. Keep in mind almost all waters have a few good fish, the trick is how to catch them. If you fish the streams most of the time and have access to say three miles of stream, start your fishing a half mile or so from camp. You will be way ahead of most of the other fishermen in camp. Be sure to get out early as the best fishing will be right after day light. One other thing, very important, is to have a good selection of trout lures with you and maybe a few night crawlers. The fish, most times, will be just off the current, feeding. Try casting up stream above any eddy's or any rocks that might be exposed. Keep all slack out of the line and make sure your bait is getting down in the water. The bigger trout will be around cover of some kind. Continue fishing up stream, check and fish all pools and cut backs in the bank. Make sure after the sun is up your shadow does not show on the water. Don't forget to change lures after a while if you are not having any luck. A different bait in the same pool might get results. You might catch trout any time of day, although I have found, depending on the pressure, the best fishing is in the first three hours in the morning and the last two hours before sunset. Sometimes, again depending on the pressure, around three in the afternoon can be productive. These fish are likely ones that did not compete well in the early morning hours for any viable food. The farther you get up stream away from the crowd the better your chances are of catching bigger trout. If the water is high and a little fast you might want heavier trout lures, and if the water is a little murky you might try using a spinner bait that will be easier for the fish to see. Remember, they won't strike if they can't see the lure. Some times all it takes is the flash of the spinner to get a trout to strike and you never know it just might be that monster trout you have been dreaming about.
No matter what, you won't catch anything if you don't get out there and get your trout lures wet.
Good luck and great fishing!

Dimensions 23â x 10â x 13.5â Fishpond is the fly-fishing industry's newest and most innovative accessory products company. We're small, but our products are already making more than a few ripples. By rethinking product design from the ground-up, we've created an impressive line up of fly-fishing storage products and accessories that look great, and outperform anything else available on the market. We started with a few simple ideas: design and create a tippet dispenser, develop an innovative cutting tool or clipper, and reshape the fly storage category with the creation of a series of soft-sided cases and chest packs. Our simple ideas turned into very complex design obstacles and challenged some of the best industrial designers in the country, yet we've succeeded with our vision and created a line of revolutionary accessory products that will stand the test of time. Fishpond is all about design and function . We are the first to bring a functional tippet dispenser to the market-one that stores, straightens, cuts and dispenses tippet material directly from most commercially manufactured freshwater tippet spools. Look for our saltwater version in the coming months. Tired of plastic and aluminum fly boxes? We've also created an entirely new product category with our molded nylon and soft-sided fly cases. With ease-of-use in mind, brightly colored jacquard webbing on the spine serves as a hand strap to securely hold the case while on the water. This gives our cases their signature style and unparalleled function. To keep us on the cutting edge, we're redefining the accessory segment with revolutionary products like our patented, ergonomically designed Titanium Clippers with optional integrated retractor that make competitive tools based on the traditional nail clipper obsolete. Our research has told us that fly-fishing enthusiasts want to lighten their load. In response to this trend, fishpond has created two new chest/fanny packs that can complement or replace the traditional fishing vest. Each product has our signature zip-down "fly bench" with a replaceable foam fly page that serves as a convenient fly changing station and work area. At fishpond, we're committed to staying on the leading edge of fly-fishing product design, and we're already hard at work on the next generation of new products to enhance our position as an emerging leader with our dealer-partners and customers. Fishpond is connected to the past and it's timeless traditions, but its focus is on making designs for the fly-fishing enthusiast that will endure the future. We're committed to our dealer-partners and consumers at every level, and want to earn your trust and support by offering quality service, delivery and creativity.

Often at these times, weighted nymphs are the ticket to success, and it is helpful to have a small rod with enough backbone to punch out these small weighted flies.

Longer range, soft presentation casts become a must under these conditions. Delicacy and accuracy are still at a premium, but there needs to be enough power to turn over longer leaders with a wide range of fly sizes.

Dimensions 23â x 10â x 13.5â Fishpond is the fly-fishing industry's newest and most innovative accessory products company. We're small, but our products are already making more than a few ripples. By rethinking product design from the ground-up, we've created an impressive line up of fly-fishing storage products and accessories that look great, and outperform anything else available on the market. We started with a few simple ideas: design and create a tippet dispenser, develop an innovative cutting tool or clipper, and reshape the fly storage category with the creation of a series of soft-sided cases and chest packs. Our simple ideas turned into very complex design obstacles and challenged some of the best industrial designers in the country, yet we've succeeded with our vision and created a line of revolutionary accessory products that will stand the test of time. Fishpond is all about design and function . We are the first to bring a functional tippet dispenser to the market-one that stores, straightens, cuts and dispenses tippet material directly from most commercially manufactured freshwater tippet spools. Look for our saltwater version in the coming months. Tired of plastic and aluminum fly boxes? We've also created an entirely new product category with our molded nylon and soft-sided fly cases. With ease-of-use in mind, brightly colored jacquard webbing on the spine serves as a hand strap to securely hold the case while on the water. This gives our cases their signature style and unparalleled function. To keep us on the cutting edge, we're redefining the accessory segment with revolutionary products like our patented, ergonomically designed Titanium Clippers with optional integrated retractor that make competitive tools based on the traditional nail clipper obsolete. Our research has told us that fly-fishing enthusiasts want to lighten their load. In response to this trend, fishpond has created two new chest/fanny packs that can complement or replace the traditional fishing vest. Each product has our signature zip-down "fly bench" with a replaceable foam fly page that serves as a convenient fly changing station and work area. At fishpond, we're committed to staying on the leading edge of fly-fishing product design, and we're already hard at work on the next generation of new products to enhance our position as an emerging leader with our dealer-partners and customers. Fishpond is connected to the past and it's timeless traditions, but its focus is on making designs for the fly-fishing enthusiast that will endure the future. We're committed to our dealer-partners and consumers at every level, and want to earn your trust and support by offering quality service, delivery and creativity.

Fishing Fun For The Whole Family
Fishing as Family Activity
Many people love to go fishing, instead of playing tennis or golf. Others make it their primary sport activity together with their families and friends to relieve boredom and stress. Surveys say that more than 50 million Americans love to go fishing and make it their lifestyle option instead of other sports.
In Alabama, fishing represents a substantial impact on the state economy. Hundreds of millions of dollars are represented and about 20,000 people list fishing as their source of livelihood. However, most people consider it as a form of relaxation and a family activity. In general, it is a lifestyle option.
In the book titled "The Incomplete Psychology of Everyday Fishing;" psychologist Paul G. Quinnett dedicated an entire chapter about fishing as a source to relieve stress. In the chapter, "Ethics of Fishing" he points out that a person must appreciate and enjoy the benefits of nature. He also highlighted that fishing correct is a way for an individual to become more disciplined in his lifestyle.
"Family Life First," an organization dedicated to introducing how to spend useful family time to parents for their children, have factual data that in the past 20 years, 25 percent of a child's playing time has decreased. Outdoor activities, where most children spend their playing time, have also declined by 50 percent. Since 1969 to 1996, 22 percent of family time activities have lessened proven by the study of the White House Council of Economic Advisers.
Any fruitful time to interact with your children is time worth investing. Fishing is a way to connect. The quality time you get is really worth the effort. The experience you get by catching fish is what makes it wonderful to enjoy and that is the important part of fishing. There are 23 public fishing lakes having plenty of fish waiting to be caught. All children can experience the excitement and adventure of fishing. You will always remember the very first time you caught a fish, and the parent who showed you how to catch it. You gain enjoyable and learning experiences from fishing that makes it a great family activity.
Alabama, for example, promotes its lakes and open banks as places best for fishing. You do not even need a boat to catch fish. There are also stores where you can find what you need for fishing. You may bring your family with you and the time of being together and enjoying the fun of fishing is the best family activity you could have.

Carp Fishing Tips and Techniques
Basic Carp Fishing Pointers
Frustrating as it is, carp fishing is awesome. Carp are really good at sucking in and blowing out suspicious baits. It's such an excitement to see the whole action in a fraction of a second as you hang on for dear life while the reel is trembling with a loud noise.
Carp happily devour on the surface as long as you keep the pellets, biscuits, chic peas, bread, and re-hydrated corn coming in, and these are inexpensive baits as well. Just attach them to the hooks, most preferably the bread. Have the biscuits softened by dipping it in the water for about 2 minutes, then, place them in a sealed sandwich bag for about an hour. Since different brands have different textures, just experiment to know which is firm enough to cast. Another way to hook baits is super gluing the pellet into the shank.
Once they get into feeding, let them feel comfortable around the bait. This gives more opportunity for the fisherman since they begin to not feel picky. This tactic can be useful for zig rigs.
As soon as they're feeding, cast the bait but make sure not to drop the bait directly onto the feeding carp. Cast away from the feeding area then slowly draw it in position. While the bait is till hanging, keep the food coming in so as to keep the carp from going away.
How to Set-Up?
* Use a hair rig to increase your chance of catching. As carp taste food first, if they don't like the taste, they won't come near it.
* You may also use a Spider Line, 50 lbs test, then use a leader material that fits the situation.
* Thread the bait on the baiting needle and hook the hair loop. You may also use foam dipped in a flavor as this enhances the attractiveness of the bait.
* Also make a baiting needle by just straightening a long shank hook. Slide the bait on the shank, then slide the bait from the needle onto the hair.
* Using a float is also an advantage because it adds weight for further distancing and the location is easily identified.
* Don't forget the controller float rig. A leader can be used which is attached to the swivel to its mainline of at least 3 feet length with a 10lbs Drennan double strength. A low diameter mono will do just as long as it floats well enough for visibility.
As experts say, it is not the bait that catches the carp but the method in which the bait is introduced. Pre-bait everyday, in one spot for a few days. This makes the carp think that there is a regular source of food for them and by "word of mouth" there'll soon be a school of fish around. Just be patient and it will all work.

The Thrill of Trout Fishing
The thrill of trout fishing! It is the best, isnt it? No matter where you plan to go trout fishing, you know you are more than likely going to enjoy your trip. The sport is a sport of its own, set aside from other types of fishing. Some believe trout fishing is the most difficult of any type of fishing. Regardless of if you believe this or not, there are many reasons to love trout fishing.
The thrill of trout fishing! It is the best, isnt it? No matter where you plan to go trout fishing, you know you are more than likely going to enjoy your trip. The sport is a sport of its own, set aside from other types of fishing. Some believe trout fishing is the most difficult of any type of fishing. Regardless of if you believe this or not, there are many reasons to love trout fishing.
To begin with, trout fishing is all about being smarter than the fish! You need to know how that fish is going to react long before it does. How do you know this and do this? For one, you need to know about the animal itself. Trout are very smart animals. They know that they are prey, so they will avoid anything they think is going to harm them. So, you, the fisherman, need to be smarter and catch the trout unaware. That is why when you are trout fishing, you will more then likely cast from quite a distance. Trout come up to the surface to feed. If they lay their eyes on you, they are gone. No hope of catching it. Instead, casting from a distance is important to keep you out of the picture.
Trout fishing is also a demanding sport because it takes knowledge. Its not enough to know about how the trout react, but you have to know what equipment you need. When you go to your local sporting goods stores or tackle shop, you will find that there is often a large line of products designed for trout fishing. The lure that you use will need to be something that will enter the water unnoticeable and without causing a splash. The trout fishing line you use will need to be pretty much clear, but strong. There is much more equipment specific things you can invest in to help you with your trout fishing. Simply look around the store to see what jumps out at you!
Some of the best things about trout fishing are the trips you can enjoy. You can plan a trout fishing trip to last a day, a weekend, or a week. You can book your trout fishing trip to be in a nearby lake or river. But, think about booking a trout fishing trip out of the country! If not, perhaps you would like to consider an out of state trout fishing trip. Not only are these the best ways to enjoy the sport and all types of trout fishing, but you get to see some of the most beautiful places in the world!
It goes without saying that trout fishing is one of the best sports out there. If you are a beginner looking to learn, the best knowledge you can obtain is experience. Yes, you can purchase all that equipment, but nothing will teach and help you more then experience in trout fishing.
