Fishing luggage sounds a bit like something a fisherman might take with him on holiday, and in a way it is. Fishermen, or fisher women for that matter too, have an increasingly large amount of equipment to carry around with them. There are all kinds of hooks, lines, sinkers, bait, rods, and other things that most people have never heard of. That's where fishing luggage comes in; it's the bags and containers, cool boxes and wallets, and cases and buckets that those with a passion for fishing use to cart all their bits and pieces around.

Fishing or angling is the sport of catching fish. It can be either fresh water or saltwater fish caught in rivers and lakes or the sea. Like hunting, fishing came about for a very practical reason; people needed to eat and fish taste good. It certainly isn't anything new either. An a ...

Walleyes have some unique features and habits about them that definitely make them stand out from other fish. In order to successfully catch these fish, it is necessary to have a good understanding of what makes this type of fish different from all the others.

The walleye's most unique physical feature is its eyes. They are incredibly dark and glassy, and are light sensitive. There is a pigment on their eyes called tapetum lucidum that aids them in seeing in dark conditions. While they may be able to see well at night, their special eyes cause them to be sensitive to bright lights, such as the sun. If you have ever tried walleye fishing in the middle of a sunny day, you may not have had a lot of luck. Walleyes will hide out during the day to stay away from light; nighttime walleye fishing is generally the most productive.

Are you thinking of planning a fishing vacation? For the uninitiated, fly fishing is an 'old as the hills' fishing method traditionally used to catch trout and salmon. Although nowadays folks plan a fly fishing vacation to catch several other species, including bass and span fish as well as the big salt water game, such as marlin. Even sharks have been known to get hooked using the traditional fly fishing method. So, when planning for an enjoyable fishing vacation it is important to consider your options thoroughly, first and foremost!

This is an important part of the decision because it dictates technique as well as the equipment you will need to take along on your vacation. Do some homework on the destination. Find out if the water is fresh or salty - open ocean or river or lake. Before you hand over ...

With the populations of almost all large marine predators down to 90% of their pre-1970 numbers, conservation groups and responsible fisheries organizations need to quit talking and start doing something concrete to conserve and rebuild our dwindling marine resources.

In this regard, Captain Paul Watson of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society was on the right track last year when he did something concrete to put an end to bottom dragging off the coast of Newfoundland. He dropped concrete blocks onto the bottom to snag and destroy the cursed drag nets.

But the concrete blocks do much more than just create a fishing obstacle. They create a new safe habitat for the creatures that live in the area. A place where they can re-establish their numbers free from the terrors of bottom draggers.

Did you know that bass fishing is America's number one fresh water sport? This sport has become so popular that it has grown to be a 4. 8 billion dollar industry. The advantage it has over other sports is that anyone who spends time learning and practicing can participate. You don't have to be a super athlete to make the grade.

This is a way to build wonderful relationships with the other members of your family. There is something special about being outdoors on the water together that makes people bond. Add to that the fun, laughter and excitement of catching a bass, and everyone agrees they should have started long ago.

Once you hook your first bass, you won't be able to quit. You'll have "bass fever". The funny thing about this disease is that the more bass you catch, the worse the fever gets. It' ...

Home of the some of the best fishing in all of America is Florida and more specifically, southwest Florida. Both saltwater fishing and freshwater fishing offer something for every fishing enthusiast out there. Whether you are there for relaxation while fishing for catfish, or in it for the adventure and rush of catching a prize marlin, your Florida fishing trip may be the best yet.

Southwest Florida offers the best in backwater fishing. For those who are unfamiliar with backwater fishing, also known as backcountry fishing, it is fishing in the vast networks of tidal creeks, bays, and mangrove islands that occupy the region. Saltwater fish are attracted by the acres of oyster beds, sea grass beds and miles of shorelines that occupy the area. Inhabiting these local waters are the state's most hunted game fish, the snook, the t ...

Now that you have one of those fancy Humminbird fish finders installed on your boat, what are you going to do with it? A fish finder certainly makes you look like you know what you are doing, but impressing your friends won't help you catch fish. Once you have figured out how it works and know how to adjust its settings, it's time to go fishing!

The most obvious use for your fish finder is to find depth. Why is that important? Well, fish are creatures of habit. They tend to be found at the same depth at any given time. However, there are variables. Time of the day, time of the season, water temperature, barometric pressure, and weather conditions are just a few of the variables that can determine at what depth you can find them. That's part of the fun of fishing, figuring out where they will be taking all these var ...

More than 25 years ago I had the pleasure of learning how to trout fish from someone I've always considered a 'trout fishing master' of sorts and certainly my fishing mentor. This man was my friends' father and was easily the best trout fisherman I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. I've been using tips and techniques that he taught ever since I met him. Over the years I've refined and added to some of these tips and techniques, which is what this article is about.

In this article I am going to provide some of the fishing basics that have served me so well for the past 2 decades. Every trout fishing rookie should make these tips a part of their fishing repertoire sooner, rather than later. Starting off on the proper foot is very important, especially when it comes to fishing for trout.

An ice fishing fish finder or flasher will determine water depth, show structure such as brush piles and weed beds, and most importantly identify any fish below your hole. Modern day fishing electronics will clearly mark crappies, bluegills, walleye, and perch. Actually knowing if fish are below you is a huge asset when determining the best locations. Once you have used one I guarantee you will never fish without it.

Years ago a good friend of mine informed me of a large sand pit that was giving up really nice slab crappies. Needles to say another buddy of mine and myself headed out in pursuit of these fine fish. While my buddy was anxious to start drilling holes and get started fishing I was more interested in looking down the holes with my fish finder first. After several holes were drilled I still wasn't marking any fish. ...
