Fishing Tip (Fishing Equipment Tips) – Instant Bait Tank

köderkessel5

If you want lively baitfish without spending an arm and a leg, you can make one for
under $35.
Just get a plastic 55-gallon barrel and wash the interior thoroughly. Cut the top third of the barrel off. Next, get about four feed of flexible bilgepump hose and a rule 400 12- volt pump or equivalent. Cut two holes in the top section of the barrel just big
enough so the hose will fit snugly, and insert the hose ends. Suspend the pump
18 inches from the bottom of the barrel.
Insert the “outflow” flush, leaving space for the pumped water to spill and aerate as it
circulates. Also, drill two small holes in the cover to accommodate the power wires. A
12-volt battery can provide power for the pump, or the pump can be attached to a
power-winch cable.

Fishing Tip (Equipment Tips) – Fishing Supply – Cheap Sinkers

Spark plugs make excellent disposable sinkers. Need some cheap (free) fishing
weights? Go to any gas station and ask for them. Then, loop a rubber band through
the electrode and then tapping the wire down the plug can be attached to a loop of
monofilament. The rubber band stretches when the plug is hung up, and even if the
extra stretching force isn’t enough to break free, the band will break before the
monofilament.

Fishing Tip (Equipment Tips) – Bass Fishing Jig Weights

Fishing Bass

Fishing Jigs are one of the most versatile game-fish catchers in either fresh or saltwater. It is
so important to have the right weight fishing jig for your line weight. If the jig is too heavy
for the line, you will loose your jig far too easily. If the jig is too light for the line, its
swimming pattern will be disrupted and it won’t be ass effective. This simple chart
will help you select the correct bass fishing jig:

Line Strength4-lb. Test6-lb. Test8-lb. Test10-lb. Test12-lb. Test14 to 20-lb. Test Jig Size1/16 to 1/8 oz.1/8 to ¼ oz.¼ to 3/8 oz.¼ to ½ oz.3/8 to 5/8 oz.5/8 to ¾ oz.

Fishing Tip (Equipment Tips) – Treble Fishing Hook Replacement

Fishing Hooks

When replacing the treble fishing hooks on your lures, there are a few things to consider.
Chang the split ring too because it is subject to stress and rust. Use a stainlesssteel
split ring for strength. They do not spread or rust as to most of those that
come wit h the plugs. Don’t, however, use stainless steel hooks – they are more easily bent out of shape by a fighting fish. Also, if a fish gets away with your plug, stainless steel will not rust out, as a plain steel hook will. Lastly, get some split-ring pliers – they make changing your hooks easy.

Fishing Tip (Equipment Tips) – Extra Springs

If you use a spinning reel, you have probably had a spring break when the
fishing gets really hot. Always carry extras (use a 35mm-film canister) – and make
sure to have a little screwdriver along as well. Practice changing it before you go out

Fishing Tip (Equipment Tips) – No-slip Soles

If your winter boot soles are worn, just cut the liner to match the sole of an old
sneaker. Fasten the felt to the sneaker sole with a non-soluble glue. Please a
heavy object on top of the sneaker overnight, and by morning you have an all
purpose non-slip shoe.

Fishing Tip (Equipment Tips) – Snag-proof Spinners

Treble hooks are oftentimes “trouble” when using spinners, causing snags. Make them snag-free by removing the treble hook and replace with a single hook. Next thread on a three to four inch twister-tail grub and Texas-rig it.

Fishing Tip (Equipment Tips) – Downriggers

downrigger7

Need to drop your fishing baits down deep? Fish are very uncooperative creatures, and don’t always hang out near the surface. If your depth sounder is alerting you to fish down deeper, a downrigger can really help out.
If you aren’t exactly sure what it is, it is simple. It is a spool holding between
200-600 feet of steel cable. There is a weight attached that is between 6-12
pounds. Additionally there is a quickrelease line gripper, just like a clothespin.
The fishing lines from your rods are attached to the quick-release mechanisms.
Then the entire thing is dropped down to the depth you want. The bait is far enough
from the weight and line gripper not to spook the fish. If you get a bite, the line is
released from the gripper, so it is just you and the fish!
Some downriggers have fish-attractant properties (either electrical, or a special
kind of paint), but not most of them.
Downriggers work great for deep trolling, and some even have an electronic crank
that will bring everything up. If you need to get at deeper schools of fish, these are
highly recommended.

Fishing Tip (Equipment Tips) – Nail Polish Helps

Does your spoon, spinner, or plug get the paint chipped after only a few casts? Use
clear fingernail polish to protect the paint and increase durability. Carry a bottle with
you when you are fishing, and give it a shot.

Fishing Tip (Equipment Tips) – Ferrules

If there is dirt on your ferrule it can contribute to rapid wear. Make a plug out
of wood to help keep the female ferrule clean.
Is your ferrule stuck? Use “Liquid Wrench”, which you can get at any auto-parts store.
Just spray it around the male ferrule and let it drip down. In a few minutes you will
be able to pull it apart.

Fishing Tip (Equipment Tips) – Getting Out Line Tangles

Fishing Line Mess

Use a pair of large fabric needles to work out these tangles. They have a smooth
finish which won’t damage the line as you work the mess out. They are also handy to
sew canvas tarp, leather, or carpet strips.

Fishing Tip (Equipment Tips) – Pocket Fishing Tackle box

Fishing Tackle Box

Attach a cord to your pocket fishing tackle box, so you don’t worry about dropping it in the water or leaving it behind. Just drill an undersized hole near the back of the box and insert a small eye-screw. A know will stop the cord from slipping through the
eye. Just put a clip on the other end so that you can secure the rope to a belt loop
or buttonhole.

Fishing Tip (Equipment Tips) – Avoiding Fishing Line Twist

Fishing Line twist is the leading cause of fouled fishing. To check for it, pull off enough line to span your outstretched hands – about 6 feet. Next, bring your hands together in front of you, causing the line to drop into a loop. If the loop wraps around itself, you have fishing line twist. Remove it by trolling about 100 feet of line behind a boat. Next install a ball-bearing swivel to prevent future line twist.

Fishing Tip (Equipment Tips) – Fishing Knots Are Key

Fishing Knots

schnurknoten9

One of the most important things in losing or landing a hooked fish is your fishing knot. Be certain the knot you are tying is strong and properly tied.
To make sure, tie your usual knot and test it against other knots. A good test is to
take two four-inch sections of a broom handle with the screw eye in the center of
each. Tie a knot in each screw eye and pull steadily until you see which fishing knot survives.
Do it 10 times to get an average. The knot that holds best should be your new knot.

Fishing Tips (Equipment Tips) – Fishing Boat Anchor Pulley, Keep it Quiet

Fishing Boat Tips

If you use an fishing boat anchor pulley, you risk spooking the fish as most pulleys eventually start to squeak. Try this alternative to a pulley:
Get a large U-bolt, a few nuts and washers, and an old-style glass or porcelain
fencepost insulator.
Slip the insulator on a U-bolt, drill a couple of holes to accommodate the bolt, and
tighten it to the mounting surface. The anchor rope will slide freely in the insulator’s groove, and the anchor lowers and raises as effortlessly as with a pulley,
especially once the rope is wet.

Fishing Tips (Equipment Tips) – Fishing Casting Poppers

casting poppers

Fishing Casting poppers with a fly rod is awkward.
To get better distance bore a slightly undersized small hole in the popper, just
big enough to fit a BB in. It should fit snugly and will give you another 30 feet of
casting distance at least.

Fishing Tips (Equipment Tips) – Cheap and Easy Depth Finder

Using two felt-tipped markers (red and black) mark an anchor rope as follows: A
single red mark around the rope at five feet, a red and black mark at 10 feet, a
single red mark at 15 feet, two black marks at 20 feet, a single red and two black
marks at 25 feet and three black marks at 30.
Use the color code red for every five feet and multiples of black for 10 feet.

Fishing Tips (Equipment Tips) – Netting baitfish

Fishing Bait Fish

Increases the efficiency of your minnow scoop by putting a bend in it. Just turn the
wire handle down 90 degrees, then push the net back on line. The forwardpositioned
net makes it much easier to trap a baitfish against the inside of an open-top bucket

Fishing Tips (Equipment Tips) – A Cheap Anchor For A Fishing Boat

For holding a good-sized boat over a rocky bottom, use a large swivel snap to fasten
four fee of heavy chain to a standard mushroom anchor. You can get one from a
junkyard. The chain boosts the anchor’s weight and holding power, provides
convenient handles for lowering and raising, and gives extra leverage when an
anchor jams in rocks or snags. When he brings it aboard, he coils the heavy chain
on a bed of old foam-rubber pads so it doesn’t rattle around or dent his boat. In
calm water, he simply unsnaps the chain and uses the mushroom anchor by itself.
