how long should i keep my berkley catfish bait dough for, it is dough?
and used it a week ago and it got mushy due to the sun,put it in the fridge took it out firm is it still good,also can i reuse soft baits such as power worms ?thanks
The older the better. Catfish clean up the lake by eating all of the old, rotten dead fish. The older the dough, the more enticing it will be to the catfish. Also, the plastics are resusable. Use it until the hook wont stay in anymore.
When it comes to fishing for smallmouth bass there are many different types of bait available. As a matter of fact there are thousands of different baits that can be used to catch smallmouth bass. In this article I'm going to explore some of the most effective baits to use when fishing for these bronze colored beauties.
The 'best bait' is most certainly hard to determine, and is largely up to personal preference, but the baits listed in this article are among the best and most effective baits that can be used to catch smallmouth bass. The final decision as to the best bait for smallmouth bass is up to you, and the only way to find out for yourself which is your favorite is to get out on the water and put these baits into practice.
So, let's get down to business, shall we?
Crawdads - Live and synthetic crawdads are arguably the most effective bait for smallmouth bass. As an angler there are two choices: Use lures that mimic crawdads or use live crawdads. Live crawdads are an extremely effective smallmouth bait, but can be difficult to fish with. Crawdad imitations are not as effective as their live cousins, but work very well nonetheless. The bottom line is that these fish love "freshwater lobsters", and they are among the best baits for these bass.
Hellgrammites - If you've never seen a hellgrammite it looks like something out of an alien movie, but is an incredibly effective bass bait. The problem is that these little buggers are hard to find. Artificial versions are hard to find as well, unless of course you're a fly fisherman. The bottom line is that hellgrammites are an extremely bait for smallmouth bass.
Bait Fish - Bait fish such as minnows, shad, and sculpins are very effective baits for bronze backs. Just as with crawdads, bait fish can be used live or as artificial lures. Live are more effective, but more difficult to use. Artificial bait fish (lures) are much easier to use. When it comes to the best bait for smallmouth the KickTail minnow is as realistic a fishing lure as I've ever seen. Some others would include the Rapala, the Zara Spook, and the Wally Diver.
Worms - Worms are one of the most popular and effective baits for all fish and smallmouth bass are included in this list. Live worms, when rigged on a set of gang hooks, are amazingly effective as a smallmouth bait. Artificial and synthetic worms are also very effective. Berkley's "Gulp" and "Power" products are every bit as effective as live worms when fishing for smallmouth bass. These worms can be rigged on gang hooks just like live worms, and the natural presentation is hard for the bass to resist.
The best bait for smallmouth bass is among the four just mentioned. Now it's up to you to get out there and figure out the most effective for you. Any or all of the above baits will serve you well in you smallmouth bass endeavors.
Stretch Crew

I'm 15. I have big breasts (DD cup). And when I wear a scoop shirt or v-neck it looks really low cut because my breasts press against and stretch the neckline. But if I wear a crew neck it feels too tight around the chest.
I know one of my options is to buy bigger shirts but then they are way to big around my waist and I don't like that.
heya - i'm 15 and wear a 30DD bra and could have the same problem. When I don't want to look huge, I waer button up blouses. There is some cute stuff out theere that really hides them well.
I don't minde wearing the t's and scoop necks though cuz everyone knows I got big boobs anyway, so whatever.

Fly Reel fly backing on Shakespeare 1094 fly reel?
i'm new to fly fishing and i'm wondering how much 20lb.test (cortland micron brand) backing i'm supposed to put on a shakespeare 1094 fly reel, or if theres a speacial way to tell how much to put on. i went to there site and for backing it said "30/20#" and being new to fly fishing i did'nt know what this meant.
easiest way i know of is.
-attach your fly-line to the spool of your reel with masking tape. if it is a weight forward line make sure you attach the shooting head (the larger diameter end).
-reel it on to the reel.
-then use whatever knot to attach your backing and fill the reel to where you think the capacity should be.
-cut the backing then strip everything off.
-attach the tag end of your backing to the reel using whatever knot you are comfortable with.
-reel everything back in and your reel will have the proper amount.
my father taught me that little trick years ago. he has over 60 years of fly-fishing under his belt and i have 35. i have done it countless times and it works.
here is a good link for the new to fly-fishing folks. i use it as reference all the time and i have fished the fellows that own the site.

best of luck and enjoy
AIRFLOW. well done on the site for knots. i sometimes take it for granted that folks know how to tie knots because i do it so often. i have bookmarked the site from your link to give to friends and family i appreciate it and they will too.
When most people think of fly fishing, they think of the movie A River Runs Through It. They picture standing on the banks of a beautiful river (or possibly standing in the middle of it) and whipping a fishing pole back and forth as an amazingly long line flings back and forth with the whip of the pole. To be sure, to watch fly fisherpeople (or anglers as the people who fly fish are called) can be very relaxing. Imagine how soothing and peaceful it must be to actually be out there doing the fishing. Of course that isn't to say that there aren't a few fly fishing secrets to help you have a successful fishing trip.
To the non-trained eye, fly fishing doesn't look like that big of a deal, but there is a gentle and subtle art to it. Like with most things, fly fishing relies on gear, technique and skill to result in a successful catch. Of course, the fly fishing secrets vary depending on where you are going fly fishing and what you hope to catch.
The first thing you will want to think about is your gear. If you are fishing for trout (which is the fish of choice for most anglers), you will want to use the lightest fly rod possible. This fly rod should have a fly reel with, at the most, four pound test monofilament in its reel. If the line is any heavier, the trout will see it and recognize that it is not a natural part of their world.
The best bait that you can use is a still living worm. That probably isn't what you want to hear after spending all sorts of money on different types of line, lure and fancy kinds of bait. Still, simple and natural is always best. The best way to use live worms is to attach them to a set of gang hooks that have been pre-tied.
Believe it or not, what you are wearing can also have an impact on the success of your fly fishing trip. Because the trout have such fantastic eyesight, you will want to do everything you can to blend into the background of the fishing location you have chosen. Bland colors that match the naturally occurring colors are the best bet. You don't have to spend a bunch of money on camouflage, but you also don't want to wear bright red pants in a dark green river.
These are just a few simple fly fishing secrets to keep in mind as you set out on your fly fishing expedition.
The act of fly fishing is at least two millennia old, and while it didn't become popular until the nineteenth century, the last couple hundred years has been wrought with fly fishing developments. As the gear has improved, the angler's basic trials and errors have resulted in some wonderful fly fishing secrets. A simple search on the internet will yield far more than the few we've shared with you here.

What kind of lure/jiggs can you use for pike. And how do you catch pike?
Alright, my buddy Rich told me how he catches pike. I always wanted to catch a pike. He said use green jigs. (By the way, the water is murky). Alright, so i tried green tubes. Nothing. I moved in a part where there is weeds everywhere and i cast in front of the weeds. Nothing, i tried brownish color tubes, i got a bite. Maybe, or the stupid sinkers are tricking me. I tried Spit N' King top water lure. Still nothing, i also tried lots of colors expect white. I know white will catch walleye. But, i lost them, and i don't have jig heads. They say pike is easy to catch. Ah, not really that's carp. :p
Anyone have any idea?
The river is called, Seneca River. It's connected to Ononadaga Lake. Anyone have any ideas what i should use?
Thanks.
Oh, and also. When i was fishing in front of the weeds, things were moving in the weeds, i believe it was pike. And than i saw a pike jump near where i was casted. Like 3 - 5 feet away.
Try a spinner bait or a rapala. You can also try a jig and gulp. Use a steel leader or they can cut you off.
Here is a simple walleye fishing tip that I use for one area of a lake I fish frequenly on Manitoulin Island and the lake is Mindemoya lake. This walleye fishing tip will work on most lakes of various sizes anywhere walleye are caught.
I have been catching walleye for over 50 years all across Canada. During that time I have learned a lot of things about fishing. But always remember that you can usually learn some new tricks and tips at any time.
Over the many years that I have fished this area I see so many anglers full of enthusiasm and expectations come and leave just frustrated with their experience fishing walleye. This fishing tip will help eliminate that frustration. It may not make you an expert, but it will make a difference in your fishing results.
Lake Mindemoya is not a large lake but to know where certain features of the lake are is great information to have. Depth, where to find shoals, sunken islands or structure that walleye love and frequent. My favorite spot on this lake is what is called Grassy Island and in the north west corner of the lake. It is actually what I call a sunken island because the only time it is actually visible from anywhere is in the summer when the reeds and grass are growing. In fact the hottest time of the summer is a great time for fishing walleye.
Now the first thing is of course is your rod and reel, sounds simple but be sure to use good fishing equipment. A light action graphite rod and reel with 6 or 8 pound test line is sufficient to catch and land most large walleyes.
The last thing is of course the simplest the hook. A plain unadorned ball-headed jig is king here. It is simple and easy to use, and deadly. Use 1/4 ounce as much as possible. If you have a problem finding the bottom you can move up to 3/8 ounce till you get used to finding the bottom.
These jigs have no action of their own, so that is up to the angler, short hops seem to work best but do not be afraid to experiment. Try to maintain contact with the bottom at all times, but try not to bounce on slack line. This can cause you to get snagged more often.
Jigs are great for catch and release, most of the time the walleye will be hooked in the top lip. Unhooking is fast and easy for you and the fish.
Tip jigs with either a minnow or a leech. I like to use leeches but at times minnows will work best. I usually carry both so I can test which is working best that day or for the area you are fishing.
Well now put this all together and lets catch those walleyes. Off the edge of this grassy island or sunken island as I call it there is a drop off and the walleye hold to this at different depths at different times of the day. Deeper during the heat of the day and closer in the evening.
The area I fish I am usually able to drift slowly over this reef from one end to the other and preset my jig and bait offering easily plus with great success. If you use electronics of any kind of course you can find these walleyes and where they are holding up. Also if it is too windy to drift the way you want a trolling motor can keep you in the thick of the action or even anchor.
Walleye do not like bright light and most anglers think that the best time for fishing walleye is early morning or in the evening and even after dark. But on Mindemoya Lake in the heat of summer you have an algae growth that clouds the water somewhat and makes for great fishing even in the heat of the day. As simple as this walleye fishing tip seems, remember it works and just experiment and you will succeed.
So to wrap this up if you ever get to my favorite place on earth, Manitoulin Island and happen to be near grassy island on Mindemoya Lake say hello to the oldtimer you see out there all alone in his Lund boat. Do not be afraid to ask questions, because he will have fish! Get out there and enjoy nature and relax!

There are many ways to lure in fish to your boat. Words like rigging, chumming, and luring come to mind. However, there are many varieties when it comes to lures and trying to decipher between all of them can be a confusing process. In addition, knowing when to "chum" as oppose to "lure" can be equally challenging when you are ready to catch the most fish that you can.
When deciding whether you should lure or chum, you should be aware of what type of fish you are trying to catch. Chum is a mess to make, distribute and to store so be sure that you are using it for the right reasons. Lures are used the majority of the time, but if you are dealing with fish who heavily use their sense of smell, lures may be a waste of time. As a general rule of thumb, chum is used in order to bring fish to the boat and lures are generally used for spot fishing.
When you decide to use a lure, what type do you choose? There are many different kinds of lures and they are used in different regions for a variety of purposes. If you learn the basics then you will not have to look like a novice by reading the back of the package will perusing the aisles in the stores.
A lure is defined as an object, often designed to resemble a fish's prey, and they usually come equipped with one or more hooks that are used to catch fish. You will attach a lure to the end of your fishing line and throw it out into the water until a fish takes a bite. The one exception to the rule is the fly lure, which is used to float on the water's surface mimicking the movement of an insect. You can also troll lure behind a boat to create the appearance of a living animal in the water. Some of the different types of lures are classified as jigs, wobblers, spinner, spoon lures, plugs, fly lures, and worms.
Jigs are made of weighted metal heads and a tail that is made from animal hair, soft plastic, feathers, or rubber. A minnow can sometimes to be added or a piece of meat can be attached to the end of the hook. Jigs can be used for almost any kind of saltwater or freshwater fishing.
A spoon is a metal lure that looks similar to a bait fish. These lures are meant to be cast or to be trolled behind a moving vessel. The plastic belts are the most commonly thought of baits. They are the plastic worms that are sometimes scented in order to attract more fish. The plastic belts can be used with or without a weight, but a jig head, spinner, or a spinner bait always accompanies them.
Plugs are made from plastic or wood and can be used on top of the water. There is a separate category of plugs called diving plugs that are designed to plunge into a certain depth of the water. The spinners have blades that spin around a wire shaft, and they are made of plastic or animal hair. The spinner baits are the lures with more than one blade that spin around a safety shaft. They are characterized by 'skirts', which are made of animal hair, vinyl, rubber, and other materials.
Lastly are the poppers and flies. These baits are primarily used for panfish, trout, and bass. Fly-tying is a harder concept to learn, making these lures unique. Lures are tested and decided upon by the individual. Many lures are determined to be useful by trying them out time and time again. When you become comfortable with a certain type of lure, you will be able to expand on its possibilities, making it more individualized for your fishing purposes.

do i need weight on my line?? DO i need to use a cork or do i constantly reel in?? pls help
You do not use a cork or bobber with a spinner. It is meant to always stay in motion, so constantly reel it in...not too fast, but, to attract attention, give it an occasional tug or jerk to change the motion and aggravate the fish. Unless you are using a very light spinner in very deep water, you do not need any added weight. Try the Mepps Aglia for good spinner lure action.
