The basic concept of fishing is fairly basic and self explanatory. Fishing is the act of catching fish. Or my particular favourite dictionary definition for fishing is, “the diversion of catching fish!”  I am not sure whether they mean a diversion for the angler from their regular day to day life or the act of diverting the fish onto the hook or into a net! 

As with any transaction there are usually two parties involved. In this case we have the fisherman or fisherwoman as the “fish-er” and the fish, would logically, to me at least, be the “fish-ee”.

What about some of the terms we hear regarding fishing though? To the uninitiated it can sound like a load of old trout!

Ok here is a really easy one to kick off with:

1. Fish type/species followed by the word “fishing”- For example, carp, bass or trout and the word fishing, e.g. carp fishing. This really is as simple as it sounds. Fishing for a particular species of fish which in this case is carp.

2. Fishing Tackle – This is not some illegal challenge in football or soccer but in fact the equipment that is used for fishing. There is a large variety of fishing tackle available and much of it can be specialised, e.g. carp fishing tackle. Yes you guessed it, the fishing tackle used to try and catch carp.

3. Coarse Fishing – This is not fishing on a golf course (notice the subtle spelling difference) or any kind of course for that matter. It is in fact the name given to fishing (usually in the United Kingdom) for freshwater fish that are not considered game fish which are trout, salmon and char. Once again, carp is a common target for coarse fishers.

4. Fly Fishing – Fishing whilst flying would be really difficult and probably very dangerous, so that’s not what this is. Fly fishing is actually fishing with a very special kind of bait, an artificial fly. Yes a fake fly! The fishers use all kinds of fake fly, different sizes, different colours and the aim is to lure the fish with this unique bait.

5. Fishing Bait – Theoretically you could fish without much of the modern fishing tackle as I am sure they did in ages past, with just a sharp spear and an even sharper aim! However, whoever first came up with the idea of luring the fish with some kind of bait was clearly a genius. Fishing is now much easier than it ever was, with all kinds of bait available for all kinds of different fish and different fishing conditions.

This concludes part one of our “Beginners Fishing Glossary”. Tune in soon for part 2, when we will have a look at Sea Fishing, Bass Fishing and perhaps even the legend that is J R Hartley.

Here are some basic guides for choosing the right catfish tackle:

Flathead Catfish

Targeting flathead catfish most often involves targeting the biggest of fish. Rarely will you hear or someone targeting or being successful catching huge numbers of one to three pound flathead catfish because they rarely exist in these numbers. Flathead catfish are known for their size, brute force strength and power.

A good setup for targeting flathead catfish is a heavier and longer fishing rod like a seven or eight foot e-glass fishing rod with a longer handle for fighting power. When targeting big flathead catfish you need something that enables you to hook and land the fish and there is little worry about sensitivity or having a “limber” fishing rod. In general most anglers prefer fishing rods with a medium heavy or heavy action for targeting this species.

Fishing line should be strong line that will withstand the abrasion of the timber and other habitats that flathead catfish frequent as well as being able to withstand the abrasion of the fish’s mouth. Many anglers prefer braided fishing line but monofilament fishing line in twenty or thirty pound test is more than enough in most instances.

Leader line should be strong and durable, most anglers prefer forty or fifty pound test monofilament fishing line.

Many anglers targeting the catfish flathead will prefer to use a slip sinker rig for fishing so the basic tackle for making the fishing rid is fairly simple. A good strong barrel swivel, a sliding egg sinker or no roll sinker and a good sharp and durable hook are necessities for fishing for this species.

Choice of hooks will vary greatly in different angling circles but there are many hooks that will work, from the basic j-hook to the more advanced (and what some would consider more superior) circle hooks. The largest factor in choosing a hook is making sure the hook is good and sharp to penetrate the thick mouth of the flathead catfish and making sure the hook is large enough to accommodate the larger baits that are traditionally used.

When using circle hooks to target any species of fish one should assure that the hook is large enough to keep the “gap” of the circle hook open as this is what makes the circle hook effective.

Blue Catfish

The blue catfish is another species that is well known for growing to great sizes and proportions. Anglers have been known to catch blue catfish as large as 130 lbs or more with rod and reel setups. While big catfish are very common when targeting blues, excellent success can be had targeting smaller fish in the one to five pound range as well. For this reason, many anglers prefer to use catfishing rods that have a good strong backbone as well as a soft limber tip. This combination makes the rods capable of handling larger catfish as well as having the sensitivity needed to catch the smaller one to five pound blue catfish. One prime example of this style of fishing rod is long limber fishing rods designed for fishing for salmon and steelhead species of fish, often called “steelhead rods”.

Much like the flathead catfish monofilament fishing line is most often preferred in the range of twenty to twenty lb test.

The same hook styles, leaders and swivels used for targeting flathead catfish can also be used for targeting the blue catfish. The only consideration should be targeting the smaller blue catfish where anglers should use smaller hooks, like a smaller circle hook or kahle style hook.

Channel Catfish

Channel catfish in most areas are not known for reaching massive sizes which creates less of a necessity for having big bulky catfish tackle and equipment. While there is always opportunity to catch bigger channel catfish most will be in the smaller range in many bodies of water.

Using a lighter rod in the six or seven foot length range with a sensitive tip is a very popular option for channel catfishing. Many anglers prefer graphite style fishing rods in medium or medium light actions for channel cats.

Lighter monofilament fishing line is generally used that ranges from one to twelve pound test.

As a general rule, lighter weight sinkers, swivels and smaller hooks can be used for targeting channel catfish. Anglers should also be cautious to assure they use the correct hook size and smaller hooks are generally preferred for channel catfishing.

The Best Ways To Tackle Blackhead Removal

Before you start searching for blackhead removal solutions, it is important to understand that blackheads are not the same as zits. However, each has many similarities and each is also made out of sebum but they also differ in terms of their appearance and may need to be treated differently.

Zits are much brighter than blackheads. Blackheads are easy to conceal provided the right sort of makeup is used. Even so, most people are tempted to try squeezing the blackheads in order to remove them but this is not the right option. There are superior methods of getting rid of these blackheads and so it pays to know more about them.

The reason why a blackhead forms is because the glands in the skin start producing excessive amounts of oil that along with dead skin will block the glands. In doing so, this blockage causes a blackhead which however should not be removed by squeezing; instead, it is better to use thorough skin cleansing as a better removal option.

Using a lotion is a good idea but be sure to pick one that is mild and which prevents the skin from drying up. Even a good exfoliator can be tried out as it will at least help in the removal of dead skin which is a factor that causes blackheads.

Even if you manage to succeed with blackhead removal steps, there is always a risk that these blackheads will reappear later on. If they do, then you can try removing them by squeezing the very softly. It also pays to open up the pores which can be done by steaming the affected area. Once the area has been steamed you can make use of tissue (clean and soft) and remove the blocked area by giving the blackhead a very gently squeeze.

Be sure to be very gentle when squeezing the blackheads because if you do this in a harsh manner you risk depressing the blockage which will go down into the skin and give rise to fresh outbreaks of zits. It therefore pays to only gently squeeze the blackheads.

Finally, if all else fails, you can succeed with blackhead removal by turning to surgery which should be non invasive and a simple procedure. Dermabrasion is a good option and the same is the case with use of chemical peels. Another alternative solution is to make use of fat tissue and collagen filling that will also help you get rid of the blackheads.

Laser treatments are also very effective. If you need help or advice then be sure to discuss your problems with a dermatologist.

Surf Fishing Reels 101

Surf fishing is a common sport for those living near large bodies of water such as the ocean. Surfcasting involves fishing basically from the beach which requires a longer cast generally. When looking for surfcasting reels, you’ll want to find one that has the capability of long casts as well as the ability to reel in big fish.

One important thing to remember when deciding on fishing reels is that you are fishing from a beach. The beaches always have a lot of sand. A reel that is easy to clean and/or has a way to keep sand out of it will be your best choice. Sand will quickly destroy a reel. For this reason, many surf fishermen choose the bait casting reel because it is very easy to clean. As an extra bonus, it provides for easy access to the line as well.

If bait casting reels are not for you, and for some they are not, then find a good quality spinning reel, or closed face reel, that will provide at least some protection from the sand and that you can easily clean when sand does get inside. Remember, sand will wear down the gears faster. Also, if too much sand gets inside you may lose the ability to reel when you’ve got that big fish on because the sand has entered the gears stopping them from turning.

Price is another important thing to look at when purchasing a reel. For a novice surf fishermen, it is fine to simply by an inexpensive reel to learn on. Just make sure your choice is rated for the larger fish that you are likely to catch when surf fishing. Longer casts are important too and the casting ability has to do with the reel, the rod and the person fishing. So if you are just starting out, learning to surf fish on an inexpensive reel is a good choice.

There are many brands available in all ranges of capabilities. After you have set your budget for your reel, find the reel that suits you best. Selecting surf fishing reels can be a daunting task with literally millions of types, sizes, styles and brands available. Another choice you could make is to to choose surf fishing rods and reels as a package, a combo kit as they are referred to. This will insure that your rod and your reel at meant to work together.

There are many techniques for catching fish which includes, hand gathering, spearing, angling, trapping and netting. Angling is a method of fishing in which an angle (fish hook) is usually attached to a fishing line that is frequently attached to a fishing rod. The fishing rods are generally fitted with a fishing reel for storing, retrieving and paying out the line. Fly fishing is an angling method that can be done in fresh or salt water.

During the 19th Century, British fly fishing continued to develop and many fly fishing clubs emerged in the UK. Monikie Angling Club listed on SearchMe4, the UK’s leading business directory, was formed in 1976 and is located in Monikie and Crombie Country Parks just a few miles outside of Dundee. The Club provides fly fishing in 3 ponds spread between the two parks.

The UK has some of the most famous fly fishing locations, such as the classic English chalk streams, the rivers and lakes of the Yorkshire Dales. In South England, fly fishing is the only acceptable method of fishing the slower, clearer rivers of the south such as the River Test and the other chalk streams concentrated in Hampshire, Surrey, Dorset and Berkshire.

There are different techniques for freshwater fly fishing depending on the habitat. In fly fishing, fish are caught by using artificial lures such as hand tied flies, that are cast with a fly rod and a plastic coated fly line which is heavy enough to send the fly to the target. Artificial flies are of several types made by fastening hair, fur, feathers, or other materials, both natural and synthetic, onto a hook to attract the target fish species.

Fly fishing is the most popular method for catching trout, salmon, pike, bass, panfish, grayling and carp. Marine species, such as redfish, snook, tarpon, bonefish and striped bass can also be caught by this method. No matter what size of the fish species, latest rods and reels are much stronger which enable larger species such as tuna, marlin and sharks to be targeted and captured, which was initially possible only through big-game fishing. There are many angling and sports fishing equipment providers listed on searchme4. Another famous form of fishing in the UK is sea fishing, which takes place off a boat. As the name suggests it normally is in sea however, it can also be done in estuaries, on piers and rocks.
