Fishing Trips and Fishing Resorts

Fly fishing is addictive. Once you start, you'll never stop. Whether you are going to the local water hole or to Alaska, you should use a fly fishing journal to keep track of your sessions.

Fly Fishing Journals

Fly fishing is more than just fishing, it?s a peaceful, surreal activity. For many, there is almost a meditative quality to casting. For avid fly fisherman, fly fishing trips to locations such as the Battenkill River in Vermont, Green River in Utah and Letort in Pennsylvania are a must. Of course, the possibility of trips to Argentina, Alaska and other exotic locations can make ones eyes glassy. For many, however, past fly fishing experiences fade from the memory with time. If you had keep a fly fishing journal, this doesn?t have to be the case.

There are famous instances of people keeping journals throughout time. Of course, Anne Frank?s Diary is the best example. In her diary, Anne kept a running commentary of the two years her family spent hiding from the Nazis. While your fly fishing sessions will hopefully be more lighthearted, keeping a journal will let you remember them as the years pass.

A good fly fishing journal combines a number of characteristics. First, it should be compact. Second, it should have a water-resistant pages and a case to protect it from the elements. Third, the journal should contain blank areas to write your notes. Fourth, the journal should contain cue spaces to remind you to keep notes on specific things. Cues should include:

1. Who you went fishing with,

2. The weather conditions,

3. The fishing conditions,

4. The flies you used, what worked and what didn?t,

5. What you caught, and

6. Lodging and places to eat,

As time passes, your fly fishing journal can be used as:

1. A guide for you or friends that return the same location,

2. Information on gear and flies to take,

3. Memories to reflect upon years later, and

4. Something to pass on to your children and grandchildren.

Keeping a fly fishing journal only requires a few minutes of writing. You can fill it out on the ride home or during a break. As time passes, your journal will become a collection of incredibly valuable fly fishing information. Imagine the look on a friend?s face after they mention going on a trip and you whip out your journal for the spot!

Many years ago I discovered the usefulness of a lake map.

A lake map usually has many characteristics on it. Mostly it will identify the depth of the lake. It will also identify structure points of the lake. Such as, sand bars, gravel pits andunder water roads, rocky points, mud or muck etc.

Some lake map companies even mark the best fishing spots according to the depth and structure within the lake or on top of the lake like overhanging trees, reeds or lily pads to name a few. When the best fishing spots are marked they are also identifying what species? of fish might be at that particular structure point.

The main reason you need a lake map is to identify all of these structure points so you can plan your fishing day efficiently. Knowing where to fish, even before you put your boat in the water, can increase your chances of catching fish greatly. Let me explain.

Many fishermen and women start to fish early in the morning, lets say you start at 6am. If you were like me in the past, you would put the boat in the water and then motor to the other side of the lake or motor far away from the boat ramp wasting valuable fishing time. With a map, you will have the ability to plan where you will fish before you put the boat in the water. Then go to the nearest spot from the boat launch that has good structure. Chances are there may be 4 or 5 spots that have good structure for the fish you may be fishing for. If you only spend 30 minutes at each spot, after you have fished it hard, then move to the next spot, you could hit 4 spots in the first 2 hours of prime fishing time from 6am to 8am possibly doubling your chances of catching fish. I use to hit 2 spots in that 2 hour period, now I hit 4 or 5.

The reason I feel comfortable leaving a spot after 30 minutes is because I fished it hard and did not get a bite, that means there are no fish there at that time. So I move to the next spot and do the same thing.

I have told many fisherman and women about this easy technique to a lot of people over the years while I had my fishing map company. I would get numerous letters telling me about their fishing success.

Are you planning to fish for rainbow trout? If you are a beginner or a seasoned trout fisher, you know that the more you learn about trout, the better you will be at catching them. Anyone going rainbow trout fishing can benefit from these important tips and hints.

If you want to be an expert at fishing the elusive, acrobatic rainbow trout, you need to learn a few things about them first. In fact, the more you learn about the trout, their habits and behaviors, their environment and more, the better a trout fisherman you will become.

Rainbow trout, just like other trout, tend to have a preference of one food over another. In fact, they are often very particular over what they eat and they have communal feeding habits in which all of a group tends to stick together on what it is they like at this particular time. The trout as a group tend to choose one good over another, particularly when given a choice. Once you learn the patterns and behaviors of Rainbow Trout feeding you will be much better at catching them while fishing.

Here are some basic hints:

1. Rainbow trout are picky eaters.
2. They tend to have the seasonal food preferences.
3. They often have daily food preferences as well.
4. Certain environmental limitations will affect what they eat.
5. Trout enjoy food that is just becoming available in the season to them.
6. Match the food that the trout enjoy most and you will become a successful fisherman.
7. Once trout have had a full season of a particular food, they will have a preference for something that is new.
8. Often trout will pick the larger of two food items presented to them.
9. Fly fishers and reel fishers can use the same type of bait.
10. Environmental conditions effect where the trout feed as well. (Bright sun will push the trout to the bottom waters).

Once you learn more about rainbow trout, their habits and what they like to eat, you will be able to have more success with rainbow trout fishing. Just remember based on these rainbow trout fishing tips that while many regular habits are in place, trout still tend to be unpredictable and you should always be prepared with several different food choices when you head out to fish for rainbow trout.

Usually trout will not risk unfavorable conditions to acquire a food source. When they do, it is typically the smaller trout that may have trouble finding food elsewhere. The more you learn, the better you will be at rainbow trout fishing.

Anyone who has spent any time fishing knows that the state of Alaska is not only know as “the last frontier”, it's also an incredible fishing destination. The state could easily be called “the last fishing frontier”, and I don't think anyone would complain. Although Alaska is a difficult and fairly expensive place to travel to, the fishing is absolutely world class. Some of the best salmon runs in the world happen in Alaska, and the chance of a bear encounter while fishing is never out of the question in the great state of Alaska.

Did you know that Alaska is twice the size of Texas and has fewer roads than Delaware? How's that for a trivia question or two? The point is that it's true and with this much 'untouched' land, it leaves a ton of fishing opportunities. From Southeast Alaska, to the world famous Kenai River on the Cook Inlet, and into Alaska's interior - Alaska offers some of the best fishing in the world. Enjoy fighting to land monster halibut or a king salmon, or try your hand at fly-fishing for rainbow trout on a secluded Alaska stream. You can fish Alaska from an ocean charter boat, take to a river by jet or drift boat, or fly in by bush plane to a remote Alaska lake or stream. The possibilities are almost endless when it comes to fishing in the state of Alaska.

Salmon and Halibut are two of the most popular fish to try to catch in the great state of Alaska, but are by no means the only species of fish that are fished for. If you are a trophy hunter, Alaska is the place for you. King Salmon can easily exceed 50 pounds and Halibut are not only enormous, but delicious as well. Halibut easily reach weights of well over 150 pounds! Halibut are world renowned for their “steak like” meat, and are a true delicacy.

When fishing for Alaska's salmon, you may have to compete with the bears. Salmon are not only sought after by people, but in Alaska bears need to catch them as well. The difference is bears need salmon for survival and humans' just think they do. The point is that when wade fishing on rivers and streams in Alaska, bear spray should be carried. Better safe than sorry, right?

There are distinct regions within Alaska, with rules for each. Once you decide on which region you intend on fishing, simply check the regulations for that area. If you're going on a fishing vacation, your outfitter will obviously help with this. Having an outfitter when visiting places such as Alaska is never a bad idea, in fact it's a very good idea. Luckily in this day and age a simple search on the internet will yield more Alaska guides and outfitters than you can shake a stick at, literally! The bottom line is that if you're looking for a true fishing adventure and some huge fish, Alaska is the place for you.

The warm blue waters of the Indian Ocean pay host to a huge variety of species, a cast list that features pretty much of all of the world?s major species of big game fish. Best of all, so far as visiting anglers are concerned, Kenya has a strong game fishing tradition, a tradition which is reflected in the large numbers of top quality boats and their thoroughly professional crews that you?ll find based at strategic locations along Kenya?s coast.

Big game Sport Fishing seasons in Kenya

Many locals argue that in reality there is a 12 month fishing season in Kenya, though from a practical point of view April and May fall within the main rainy season on the coast, and not surprisingly fishing activity during this short period is at a minimum. June and July see a gradual increase in activity offshore but for many, skippers and anglers alike, August marks the start of the fishing season proper.

From September through until Christmas the fishing is invariably excellent, while many regard January through until middle of March as being ?high season?, as this is the period when fishing for the king of salt water game fish, the marlin, traditionally hits its zenith.

Kenya sport fishing centers and locations

There are three major angling centers found along the Kenyan coast including Malindi and Watamu, two and two and a half hours drive north of Mombasa respectively, and a couple of hours drive south at Shimoni near the Tanzanian border. Good quality angling boats are also located at Mtwapa and Kilifi Creeks and also on Lamu Island.

Big game fishing boats and prices in Kenya

Wherever you decide to fish, it is important you select a reputable charter operation, Kenya has many. Avoid the temptation of paying less to fish aboard boats of unknown pedigree. Yes it will cost more to fish aboard a top boat, prices range from (at the time of publishing) US$ 669- US$ 1,051. Per boat for up to four anglers fishing a full day and are generally dependent on season, but at least you will know your boat has a full inventory of safety equipment and that the skipper and the crew are sufficiently experienced.

Also, you?ll stand a far better chance of hooking the fish of your dreams if you fish with an experienced crew who know what they are doing!

What you need to carry for sports fishing tours

Reputable angling operations provide all the necessary angling equipment and soft drinks within the price, occasionally lunch all you need to provide are high factor sun cream, sun glasses and a hat.

Time is the trade through which we decide the value of items either created or owned. A classic is something that defies the test of time, and becomes a treasure sought after many years later. It's these old pieces of our past that send a spark of nostalgia to a simpler time, and antique fishing equipment is no exception to this. Whether you?re young or old, beginner or professional, collecting antique fishing equipment can develop into a driving passion. Believe me!

Antique fishing equipment can also include a wide variety of items, not just the rod, reel or tackle. Several collectors delve into all things angling, collecting objects like fishing licenses form the 1930s and earlier. It is really up to the collector what items he or she wishes to own, but there is no doubt whatsoever that there is a myriad antique fishing equipment around the world for anyone who wishes to collect a valuable piece of history.

Vintage reels are a common item wanted by serious collectors and are highly sought after by many collectors. Before the availability of stronger metal alloys, older reels were made out of a variety of metals including brass, iron and steel. Not only were they made of different kinds of metals than they are now, but they were also made in a variety of many different styles. Each of these unique designs had their flaws, and thus lost their usability when newer models came out. But even though they aren't practical any more perhaps, antique reels are both unique and beautiful. And possibly valuable.

Another item of antique fishing equipment is the bobber used before the conversion to Styrofoam was made standard. Old bobbers were made from a variety of materials, although usually they were made from the same material that is used to close wine bottles. You guessed it, old bobbers were made of cork. Bobbers are not nearly as sought after as antique reels, but still have their own value.

Probably the second most sought after items of antique fishing equipment are the lures that were used before the 1970s. Older vintage lures were manufactured with a bit more flair than they are today. Antique lures sometimes copied the fish to an almost exact degree. It is for this reason that they are so desirable amongst collectors.

So if your passion is angling and you have a love for the past, collecting antique fishing equipment may be an exciting pastime for you. There are a thousand and more treasures out there waiting for you, all you need is a little desire and an affinity for classics to find all the antiques that stood the test of time.

A professional can teach you all about this great sport,if you decide to take this up as a hobby. Instruction is essential. Boating instruction entails much more than just showing you how to operate a boat. It also encompasses boating safety along with boat and engine maintenance.

When you receive boating instruction, you'll be learning about boating as a sport, but it will do so much more for you. It can make boating much more enjoyable, make you more skilled as a captain, and can even save you money! Getting boating instruction through certified classes could provide you with a discount on your boating insurance!

There are many places where you can find reputable boating instruction. Start with a local marina. Like a golf pro shop, the marina will have a “boat pro” on staff that will be happy to help you with your boating education. Many marinas have classes you can take on site that will teach you everything you need to know.

We live in an Internet world. It just goes to say, then, that there is boating instruction available online. Studying all aspects of boating from your armnchair is a great way to start. However, keep in mind that you won't have the benefit of a live person to ask questions of.

What should you look for in choose a boating instruction class? Here are a few of the components that the class should include:
* Certified instructors with proper qualifications
* Boat operation
* Boat mechanics and maintenance
* Boating safety
* Navigation rules
* Coast Guard requirements for safe boats
* Proper seamanship

Another great advantage to taking a boating instruction course is that it will help to qualify you for your boating license. Like getting a driver's license, you will have to take a test to obtain your boat license. Having the advantage of a class that can teach you what you need to know will prepare you in the best way possible.

Boating instruction will also tell you how to register your boat, best ways to store your boat, and how to ramp your boat ? all things that the responsible skipper should know well. You can also get the best information on proper boat maintenance as well as basic engine repair.

When you decide to captain your own vessel, boating instruction is a big part of becoming a responsible skipper. Get as much as you can as often as you can ? even if you are an experienced boater. A refresher course along the way never hurts. Boating instruction is your way of telling everyone “I know what I'm doing, and you can trust me!”

Boating Safety

The most important part about responsible boating is to always practice good boating safety. The United States Coast Guard says that almost all boating accidents could have been prevented if the captain of the ship had taken a boating safety course prior to getting on the water. Boating safety is tantamount to responsible boating and it shouldn't be taken lightly.

There's no way we can cover all aspects of boating safety in this short article. What we can do, however, is to give you some basics to go from in your quest to become a responsible boater. There's nothing that can replace a good, certified boating safety course taught by a qualified individual, but everyone has to start somewhere!

* Always know the safest distance to keep away from other boats. If someone is going slower than you are and you want to pass them, know how to do so safely and with the proper signaling. Boats don't have turn signals, but you should know how to alert the other boater you will be passing them.

* When you are putting your boat in the water, be sure you know how to do this quickly as well as safely. Boating safety has to be present even before you get your vessel on the water. Knowing how to do this the right way can make the difference between friendly and unfriendly boating.

* If alcohol is part of your boating trip, be sure you are very conscious of what alcohol can do to your body when you are operating a fast-moving vehicle on top of a body of water. Alcohol use by the captain should occur in moderation above everything else. Most of the boating accidents that occur today can be directly attributed to alcohol as a contributing factor. Be smart when it comes to alcohol consumption on the water.

* Make sure that all people on board your boat have access to a life vest. Never let a child be in your boat without wearing a life vest at all times. The number one cause of death on the water is due to drowning. That is caused by people falling overboard without a life vest. This is the number one boating safety rule stressed by all instructors.

* Boating safety depends on everyone following general rules of etiquette when you are out on the water. While you can't control what the other boaters do, you sure can control what you do. Always be polite on the water and know that you are doing your part to keep the waters safe.

Like we said previously, every boater should really take a certified boating safety course. Besides making it easier for you to get your boating license, you will be a much better boater after you take a boating safety course.

The marlin fish caught in Kenya big game sport fishing can weigh anywhere from a 100lb to well over 1000lb, indeed the heavies fish ever caught on rod and line in Kenyan waters was a 1,248lb blue marlin caught on march 1995 aboard the Kingfisher boat Neptune out of Malindi.

This humongous great fish is displayed along with many other fish for all to admire on the walls of the Malindi Sea fishing Club (MSFC). The MSFC is a truly wonderful place, steeped in angling history, where not surprisingly the conversation is invariably of fish, fishing and fishermen, and where they make what is undoubtedly the finest prawn curry in the world!

Nocturnal Broadbill sword fish

There are barely a handful of destinations scattered around the world where that most elusive member of the billfish clan, the nocturnal broadbill swordfish is regularly caught Kenya is probably the best, fishing for these elusive fish involves an overnight trip, which in itself is a wonderful experience.

Broadbill are caught year round but the prime time is generally regarded as being January-March when the seas offshore are generally at their calmest. Boats target broadbill out of Malindi, Watamu and Shimoni, often on extended 30-hour trips to distant areas such a the legendary North Kenya Banks, and often it is during the daytime on these trips that anglers encounter outstanding sport marlin, large tuna and many other species.

The giant Trevally

In recent years the giant Trevally has become something of a cult angling species, and yet again Kenya offers the visiting angler an excellent chance of doing battle with this immensely powerful members of the jack family. Giant trevally, or GTs are commonly known to live over reefs and banks, often in large shoals of fish that can include individual specimens in excess of 100lb.

A few years back it was the early part of the season that was considered prime GT time, but in recent years exceptional fishing has been experienced through out the entire season, almost certainly as a direct result of a significantly increased amount of angling effort specifically targeting trevally that these days are tagged and released. Over a dozen other species of trevally can be caught in Kenyan waters.

The yellow fin tuna

Tuna notably the yellow fin tuna found in such abundance off the coast of Kenya are one of the strongest fish in the sea guaranteed to raise a sweat on the brow of even the fittest angler! School size yellow fin tuna, fish from 10-40lb, can be caught through out the season, usually in abundance and occasionally in such numbers that they can even become a nuisance when attempting to target other species, but at such times, you are guaranteed an action packed day followed by a plate of the finest sushi!

The biggest yellow fin tuna, fish that in recent years have included specimens to over 220lb, have appeared in August and September, but be warned, fighting these brutally strong fish is certainly not for the unfit or faint hearted! Several other species of Tuna can also be caught in these waters including skip jack, long tail, big eye and kawa- kawa- the eastern little tunny that are widely referred to as bonito.

Tiger and Mako sharks

Many species of shark can be encountered off the Kenyan coast, but in recent years it is the fearsome tiger shark that has attracted most attention from anglers. A sizeable population of tiger sharks has been located off Watamu and when these fish are in feeding mode, which is more often than not, hooking one, can almost be described as a formality successfully playing a hooked tiger shark to the boat to be tagged and released is entirely another matter!

These wonderful apex predators average from 300-800lb but many 1,000lb plus specimen are caught, tagged and released each season. Giant bull sharks of similar proportions are also occasionally encountered and while mush rarer, the much prized mako shark is another species that is occasionally encountered by anglers fishing off Kenya.

In addition to the major species listed above, a day?s offshore fishing in the Indian Ocean off the coast of East Africa will almost invariably produce many other species including highly sought after species such as the incredibly fast Wahoo, the gloriously coloured and sweet tasting dorado or felusi as it?s known in Swahili, and let?s not forget the large snapper and grouper that can be caught fishing baits or lures near the bottom. Two species of barracuda, king mackerel-known as kingfish, cobia, rainbow runner and many others can all be encountered on a typical day?s fishing off Kenya.

Journals of an avid angler

I have fished in this wonderful country for over 10 years, during which time I?ve made some 16 trips to the coast averaging four-five day?s fishing per visit, that?s around 70 days fishing off the Kenyan Coast. Sure I?ve had a few quiet days but I?ve never had a day when I?ve caught nothing, while on other days I?ve almost wished the fish would go off the feed to give me a rest!

Each year I fish extensively around the would, frequently visiting exotic countries and enjoying world class sports fishing, but Kenya remains my all time ultimate angling destination. I?ve said it before and I?ll say it again, were I ever restricted to fishing just one week a year in tropical waters, then I would not hesitate in choosing Kenya as a destination. If nothing else, the prospects of a plate of curried prawns at the Malindi Sea Fishing Club and an icy cold beer or two would be sufficient to bring me back.

Choosing the right type of fishing rod is important, and it largely depends on the types of fishing that you intend to take part in. In the case of fishing for salmon, there are basically two types of fishing rods: the fly rod and a spinner, and the bait rod. Both of these are different from each other in terms of the types of reel that they utilize. Of course, if you see in the market today, there are many rods being advertised as being the dual purpose rods. These could be suitable for some anglers, but take it from the experienced enthusiasts, having two specialized rods is much better and more advisable than having one dual purpose rod.

The Fly Rods

A typical fly salmon fishing rod is longer and more flexible than the bait rod. It is also lighter through the butt and the handle. For salmon fishing, opt for the double handed fly rod. This will enable you to cast with both hands or with either hand. This is also a better solution for the heavier lines and reels that you will use when you are angling for the bigger and heavier salmon.

The length of your average fly salmon fishing rods could be anywhere from ten to fifteen feet. This will provide an additional height to your casting action especially when you are in deeper waters or if you opt for fishing from a boat. For women and children as well as shorter men, there is the option of the under 12-feet rods, while taller men and anglers who wish to fish in large waterways should go for the rods which are fourteen to fifteen feet in length. However, regardless of the length, the rod has to be flexible and able to bend the length of the rod and quickly snap back into place, which in turn makes your casting more accurate. In choosing a rod, remember to keep it slender to get rid of wind resistance, but keep it heavy enough to withstand the battle with a 10 - 30 pound salmon.

The Bait Rods

To have maximum control over the salmon as it fights in the water, a bait salmon rod is built in such a way that it has a tough butt end. For larger fish, do choose rods which are medium to heavy, and for salmon especially, choose heavy rods. More so if you plan on using downriggers and go trolling in your fishing boat.

Even though bait rods should be heavy, choose one that is sensitive enough so you can “feel” the fish as it is at the end of the bait. Do remember that bait rods will be heavier if you go for longer bait or spinner rods, especially those seven to ten foot salmon bait rod. However there is generally no hard and fuss rule, as it will all in the end depend on you.

Typically, graphite is utilized for making salmon fishing rods. However, other materials such as e-glass may also be used in order to increase the flexibility of the rods while at the same time, not compromising on the strength of the rods.

Besides that, take into consideration the handle of the rod. The handle has to be comfortable to grip, more so in the cold water that usually goes hand-in-hand with salmon fishing seasons. Ideally, the guides should be centered and smooth and made from rust proof materials such as aluminum oxide. Do keep in mind that the pressure from the pulling of the fish will be directly on the guides, so the construction of this vital part of the rod is critical to getting the salmon.

If you are looking for a wonderful recreational sport that will take you far away from your comfort zone, look no further than bass fishing. The sport of bass fishing has quickly risen into the ranks of a multi billion dollar industry. This fishing sport has acquired a great following throughout the years and is now one of the most popular sports in America.

This fact is no accident. While bass fishing is done all around the world, its popularity in America stems from the fact that the most popular types of bass fished for sport can be found in multitudes in the waters of North America. Bass fishing in America is so popular that bass fishing masters have become household names among American sports enthusiasts.

Perhaps it is the lure of going back to basics and getting in touch with man's hunting urges in nature that lures millions upon millions of individuals to this wonderful world of bass fishing for sport and recreation. If you are new to this sport or if you are only beginning to think about taking up this hobby, the whole concept of fishing may be a little daunting.

Fortunately, what general knowledge we all have on fishing, applies for the sport of bass fishing. The exciting task of catching bass is done with a hook line and sinker. If you are looking for bass fishing techniques, look no further than that.

Of course if you are a bass fishing enthusiast looking to improve your performance in the sport, you will be looking for bass fishing techniques but really, bass fishing is quite simple. First, this is so because bass fish are bountiful in certain waters, especially in North America so you can be sure that if you head on out to bass filled waters you are sure to catch a few. What counts of course is to catch bass fish of a certain size and weight. In this regard, the bass fishing technique to utilize is common sense. First of all, make sure that your fishing equipment is suitable for the type and size of bass you are hoping to catch.

Remember also that bass fish particularly the big mouth and small mouth are feisty fish that serve the purpose of wonderful gaming fish. The large mouth bass is highly resistant to captivity and once hooked, you may have a hard time reeling it in because it will tend to hide behind submerged structures such as logs and seaweed to avoid being caught. The small mouth on the other hand is known to be jumpy once it hits the surface to be able to escape the grip of the hook. This is where your bass fishing technique of reeling the game in will come in handy.

Also, because bass is a feisty fish resistant to capture, anglers are used. Anglers is the term for angled hooks used to catch the fish. There are several types of bait you can use, depending on your own preferences and bass fishing techniques. You may opt to use live or artificial bait and both actually work fine. Some artificial baits work better than the others and to find out which ones are more effective, you can read up on user reviews from bass fishing forums or ask your trusted fishing buddies for their recommendations. Of course, nothing beats the learning from actual experience so don't be shy, get out there and compile your very own bass fishing techniques.
