2008 Worcester Sportsman's Boating & Fishing Show. 2008-02-10 16:28:00 This past Saturday My friend Tim and I went to the annual fishing show in our area. I went two years ago, missed last year, but when Tim invited me to go I did not need my arm twisted. Unfortunately Bob was unable to go with us.There are a lot of things to see, I took photos of mostly boats and reels, as some folks wanted to see more fishing equipment, and while the boats are outrageously priced, they are beautiful to see. This review will be two part as I have more reel pictures to show than I can reasonably fit into one post. The first three photos are the Shimano table.Photo1) Saltwater reels for medium shark and Tuna fishing. These run $200 to $400 US. Shimano makes a good, durable reel. While I do not have any reels of this caliber, the Shimano Curado Bantam 201 baitcaster for Bass was my first baitcasting reel and I still use it regularly.Photo 2) The long spread of handle mounted reels was massive! One could explore every make of reel Shimano makes form freshwater baitcasters, t ... Amp

1990 Lowe 1600 V 2008-02-05 17:52:00 After three years of waiting, scraping and saving, I am finally a boat owner! And thank God, we got exactly what we wanted and at a better than good price. After a long while of renting boats when we could find then, and fishing from shore and small canoes my fishing partner and I will now be able to go after the fish where they live, rather than being at the mercy of the shoreline, trees, and private property ownership. This past Friday Bob and I went to New Hampshire, about an hour away from our area to the Monadnock Boat Store where we had seen the ad, and made arrangements to inspect and purchase what looked like a good deal for the price. We got there and met Scott, the salesman and he led us to the boat.We were very surprised! They had brought the boat in from the storage warehouse and unwrapped it, and put it into a large heated work bay with tools and a bench. " Heres all the tools you'll need, go through the boat and make sure it meets your needs, let me know when your done, ...

The Lipless Crank Bait 2008-01-30 18:07:00 With the coming of spring, well in a few months for us New Englanders, it's time to bring out one of the ultimate springtime baits for bass. This is a truly versatile bait as it is made in many sizes, shapes, and patterns and each manufacturer's rattle has a distinct sound. On any given day one particular rattle may be your ticket to a full live well. First photo. Sizes and weights range greatly, (top to bottom) 6" Cordell King Shad,silver scale,at 4oz., 4"Rat-L-Trap chart. perch, at 2oz., 4" Gag's Grabber, bunker pattern, at 1.5oz., Cotton Cordell suspending Spot, 1/2oz., Excaliber Xr50 lemon-lime, at 5/8oz., unknown make, gold shiner, at 1/2oz., Renegade mini, goldfish, at 1/8 oz.each of these rattles, the largest with a thunderous crackle to the smallest with a sound like salt in a shaker.

Mind Your Line! 2008-01-22 07:14:00 There are a tremendous number of lines on the market now, and it can be difficult to choose which one to use. If you have the luxury of several fishing outfits, you can spool different lines for different conditions on different outfits. If not, you need to pick a line that will meet most of the conditions you fish.Following are some ideas that works:• For fishing heavy cover and rough conditions like rocks, pick a monofilament designed for it, usually designated tough, extreme or extra strength. Also try braids and fusion line.• For fishing clear water, choose a thin, clear line. Fluorocarbon lines disappear underwater. Others are usually called extra limp, extra thin and other names that designate it as small diameter.• For fishing vegetation like lily pads, moss and grass, try a thin, tough line. It can be a braid or a fused line. Names like Fireline, Spiderwire and Power Pro are all good.• For setting a line class record, use a line that will break at the designate ...

I know God willing, we will be going again soon and I will make it a point to get more specific with the images.

Bass Pro Shops, Foxboro, MA. USA 2008-01-08 10:02:00 Where to start? After two years of waiting here in New England, we finally have a Bass Pro Shops Store! By far the top of the food chain in the U.S. in outdoor equipment. One can find anything needed for fishing, from a child's beginner spin caster combo, to $50,ooo plus ultimate bass boats from Nitro. One can also find firearms, ammo, bows, camping equipment, outdoor bar-b-q supplies, fly rods and fly tying equipment, clothing for any season and terrain, and.... well the list goes on and on. As we are concerned with fishing I will try to hold my overall excitement in check and stay on topic. No promises.The size of the store alone is daunting. At 140,000 sq. feet split into two levels complete with two large elevators to get people and shopping carts easily between floors, it is by far the largest outlet of its kind in the northeast. On entering the store the decor is engulfing and complete. A large fireplace and sitting area is to the right of the main entrance, wood post and beam c ...

Top 7 Tough Monofilament Fishing Lines 2008-01-07 23:42:00 Monofilament lines come in a variety of colors, sizes and strengths. It is usually cheaper than other types of lines and works well in a variety of fishing conditions. These lines have special coatings or designs that keep them from cutting or wearing on objects as easily as other mono lines. They are usually best for heavy cover and have less stretch because they are thicker.1) Trilene XT Monofilament Fishing Line Trilene XT is a very tough, abrasion resistant line. It is somewhat stiff and works best on casting reels, and is excellent for flipping and pitching to heavy cover. This line holds knots well and does not slip. It has limited stretch due to its thick diameter but is not as invisible as thinner lines.2) Stren Original Monofilament Fishing Line The line I used for many years. It is tough, holds knots well and casts acceptably. This line comes in clear or clear blue, green and gold for visibility or stealth, whichever you need. It is a good all around line that is abrasion res ...

How to Determine The Best Time To Fish 2007-12-07 11:01:00 There are many factors involved in fishing, and timing is one of them. If you have a good understanding of how fish live, you'll be able to determine the best times to fish. Use these guidelines to get one step closer to reeling in the big ones.Evaluate the available sunlight. When it's very warm and sunny, fish move to cooler, deeper waters to stay comfortable. Cloudy days are great for fishing because the clouds diffuse sunlight.Study daily warming trends. Morning sun warms the shallows, which creates comfortable water temperatures for fish to feed. Late morning is an excellent time to take advantage of this.Learn about the habits of fish. In the early morning and late afternoon, cooler temperatures and lower light levels allow fish to cruise the shallows for meals. This is an excellent time to fish the shallows.Monitor storm and weather patterns. Warm fronts cause surface water temperatures to increase, which encourages fish to feed on or near the warm surface. Fishing will be slo ...

Many repairs to the rod can be made including broken tips, mid-pole breaks and loss of guides.Repair a broken fishing rod that has been broken in the middle of the rod by trimming the ends of the break square and placing a ferrule in the break.

Ferrules can be obtained at sporting goods stores or fishing supply stores.Replace a broken guide with a similar guide that can be found at sporting goods stores. The guide is re-tied to the rod in the place where the old guide was. If the old guide is still on the rod, cut the string that has the guide tied to the rod and remove both the guide and the old string. Re-tie the new ...
