upschidtcreek52 asked:


The river I fish on flooded to over 23ft. above flood stage yesterday and I would like to know how and for how long the fishing will be bad, if at all.

Jake G asked:


I am going fishing tomorrow in massachusetts. What are some good lakes in plymouth County? I would like to fish for either small or largemouth bass, trout, or salmon. Any lakes that are good?

Dane Cruz asked:


I have never actually had anyone show me how to properly fish the Carolina Rig. It’s been trial and error for me, well honestly just error! Is there a key to fishing the rig? Like worm fishing, do you want to “slow down” a bit, or does it depend on certain variables? Is it good for deep and shallow water fishing? Does the bait have to be something that’s at least 4 inches? Thanks!

redkicke12 asked:


Also, what areas of a lake or pond should i fish in the evening. Is fishing off a small dock good for bass?

Jakey asked:


I know I need to have a license to fish saltwater, but is surf fishing different?

Fishing is a sport, but it has become less about survival and more about fun in recent decades. There is an issue of fish becoming depleted and many anglers are now employing the practice of catch and release fishing. Catch and release fishing is a great theory, but many people are doing it incorrectly and as a result many fish are dying. A few steps should be followed when trying to catch and release a fish. Once you get the hang of how to do it correctly, you will be able to enjoy your hobby and keep the population of fish full in your favorite stream or lake.

The best place to start is with the hooks. A fish that has a hole through its mouth is going to be more likely to survive than a fish with a hole in its lung or gill. If you happen to hook a fish in the gut, the best thing to do is to cut off the hook as much as you can then release the fish. Many times the hook will dissolve and the fish will spit it out, but they can also live with a rusted hook hanging from them. Whatever you do, do not tug on your line to pull a hook out or you will severely hurt the fish. If you are able to easily remove the hook, use a pair of needle nose pliers. The process of pulling the hook out is easier if you remove the barbs from the hooks, but try not to wiggle while you pull the hook out.

Fish are obviously unable to survive outside of the water. Therefore, the longer that it takes you to release them, the more it becomes as if you are suffocating them. The way that a fish is gripped when out of the water will make a big difference. For instance, avoid touch a fish’s body with your bare hands. The fish have a slimy protective coat that will be stripped if you touch them with your hands. If you have to touch a fish, make sure that your hands are wet. You may want to wear gloves to protect your hands from cuts or permeating fish smells.

Part of the fun in fishing is to “play out” the fish. The struggle can be what some anglers wait all day to do. Fish are like humans; when they “work out,” they build up lactic acid. When you are fighting a fish, they are fighting too. Just like when someone works his or her body out and it feels sore, a fish experiences the same thing. The build up of lactic acid can be toxic to a fish even days later. Therefore, if you are going to practice catch and release, try to keep the struggle to a minimum.

Try not to let a fish flop around when you catch them. A fish that flops around can bruise or damage its internal organs, causing them to die later from the injuries that are incurred. You can also revive a fish if you need to do so. A fish is likely to run out of oxygen and pass out, so to speak. In order to revive a fish, you place the fish in the water with their belly down and gently grasp their tail. Start to slowly move their tail back and forth until they give you the signal that they are ready to take off into the water. Sometimes you will need to repeat the process more than once, but don’t let a fish go until they are ready. A fish that is not ready to swim could get carried away and swept into rocks or embankment and cause serious injury.

More than anything, when you are practicing catch and release, have everything ready to go. Make sure that your camera, pliers, and gloves are in reaching distance. Try to take the precautions necessary to preserve fish and one of America’s favorite pastimes.

Rawr asked:


I want to know if there’s a cheaper method to attract fish at night. Something that can substitue a fishing light.

iNinja asked:


Last night, my bro and I went fishing and it was full moon. The tides were quite and the fishs aren’t biting? So it was a total wasted of good 2 hours.
Any one know what sup with the moon/fish together?
