i lived and fished their, remember your in deeper water so you may need a longer steel leader, do not use the nylon for your leader go to a store buy Thar steel leader kits wire,barrel ls, crimping tool. that set up is your friend. and do not be afraid of asking another fisherman pay attention and watch the success full ones. all so if you are rigged properly, and using the right jig,spinner,bait etc. if still not catching change your hook size people come their and use the largest hooks not necessary. and have fun, it is so beautifully there. god bless good luck.

the flounder in jersey just go nuts over marabou jigs.You'll need light tackle,4 lb test is perfect, but the just cant resist an eighth oz jig. I like green,yellow white and grey jigs. Bass Pro has them real cheap.There is no need to tip them with bait.I'll guarantee if you try this you'll kill them.

Let your imagination go wild! Make the wreath look like a boat steering wheel and use any fishing gear that have Christmas-like colors. A craft store like Michael's will have plenty of choices. If it's to be a large wreath, then you could incorporate a fisherman's hat and what ever else your fisherman uses. Sounds like a cute idea, if your talking about east-coast themes, use little lobsters (honestly, they actually have those at Michael's!) Good Luck!

In Washington i fish along the rocky shore lines.I use a number 2 or 3 mepps algia (gold or silver) with a one half oz. slip sinker or a worm rig slip sinker. Work the deeper holes. from aboat i fish the rocky bottom in 30 to 60 foot of water. I use a half to a one oz. jig with a 4 inch purple grub.fish close to the bottom.

the best bait is to ask the local fisherman what they use.use that.use the same technique anywhere you fish fresh and salt water .eventually you will learn .always ask the locals and you will groww as a fishermen

Popping cork with live shrimp is probablly best but live shrimp can be expensive and you MUST HAVE AN AERATOR OR they will quickly die. You can also use a jig under popping cork(try different color grubs) or bottom fish. I tie a weight to end of line then make a loop about 8-12 inches above wt. to attach hook(but fishing on botttom also will put you where the dreaded hardhead catfish lives)

It isnt so much the size of hook, or the fish you are angling for. Its the bait you intend using, that needs a sensible hook size put with it. \n\nFor instance a small crab is well mounted on a 1/0 or 2/0, just make sure the hook point is showing nice and proud. For whole squid, a 2 hook pennel rig with 2/0 to 4/0 hooks can be used. Just be sure to make the hookpoint stand clear of the bait. a good strong hook which is just big enough for the bait, is the best hook, hope you catch a moby

this is a good one,I love to bullhead fish,slide a dipsey swivel sinker (a 3/8 oz one will do)onto your line,and then tie a hook to the end of your line( there is a good way to tie fish hooks described on ihow.com)and then clamp a splitshot sinker about a foot up from your hook,but between your hook and swivel sinker,the split shot should be around equal wieght,there is a basic bullhead rig.

Theres a million types of fish. Theres bottom fishing for grouper, snapper, sea bass etc.. Also kings are abundant around tampa and north. There are inshore fish like redfish and snook. Theres tarpon but mainly in the summertime. If you want to go offshore in search of bottom fish and kings, you have to have a large boat because its at least a 40 mile run if not 60 miles.

Live bait with double trebles 2x or 4x depening on what you expect to be catching big or really big. Make your own wire leader to match the baits size. the first trebles should be hooked in the nose of the bait and the trail hook should be  in front of the tail of the bait. \ntight lines

It depends mainly on where you live and what you are interested in fishing for. One good tip, for every species of fish start off using a spinning combo rod and reel. You can get on for less than $100.00. At your local tackle shop or even wall-mart. \nYou would really need to give more specific information, in order to be more helpful.\nYou can call any major outdoor shop (that sells fishing tackle) and if they are a quality company, they should take you under there wing and be more than able to answer all you questions.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nI think Genie been at the cat knip again.

Patience is a virtue.  You have to make sure they have taken the bait.  If you are using a bobber or a float.. wait until they take it all the way under the water.  If you are relying on line pull... when they run with it... set the hook.  Either way, setting the hook is similar.... sharply pull the end of the rod up from about the 3 o'clock position straight up to about the 12 o'clock position.\n Practice makes perfect.

if the line is not  yet on the spool then i would suggest taking the whole thing to your local tackle shop and have them load your reel,  they have the proper equipment to do that and it will only take 2 minutes.  when you are ready to put the reel on the rod you need to install the reel in the grooves of the rod and there will probably be a threaded nut that will cinche the reel in tightly. \n\nmake sure that you put the line through the bail of the reel before you feed it through all the eyes of the rod. \n\na spinning rod and reel should be used with the eyes pointing down. i often see people using them with the eyes pointing up but that is wrong.\n\ngood luck

Lord yes i have a ultra light rig set up, mainly for bream fishing. bream is a pan fish which will get up to about 1 1/2 lbs. best eating fish there is . but to catch it one is like catching a shark. they are the best fighting fish there is.i have a ice fishing rod about 18inches long with a ultra light spinner on it. i carry it on my bike or truck. i see a decent place to fish i stop. i like it when the place is full of snakes because that is where you catch your big ones. wanna go with me lol.
