Informative Speech On Fishing

In comparison with other members of the bass and sunfish family, striped bass tend to spawn in the spring time and normally lay their eggs in moving water. The spawning areas for striped bass are over rocky beds and on the surface of

Over the last few years, the rivers edge is getting more & more crowded, as fishing pressure increases so does the amount of lures the fish will see in a day. Trying new methods of fishing can sometimes prove to be rewarding.

A small hook won't be able to land a largemouth bass. Along with the hook size, you'll need to consider the type of hook point you'll want. There are spear point, which are the standard, hollow point, knife edge and surgical needle.

If you are fishing with a partner or fishing alone you can only catch a five fish limit. Every fish has to be over thirteen inches long so it can be legal for a tournament. Every lake has a different length to score a bass. For example, at Belton Lake a bass has to be over fourteen inches long to be legal, which I disagree on because some people catch twelve to thirteen and a half inches and that means we have to throw them back into the water because it is not fourteen inches.

For good, quality Austin bass, fishing at Lake Austin is the order of the day. Because the waters are warm, the lake is good for bass any time of year, though spring and fall are the most comfortable for both fish and fishermen due to the extreme heat in Texas and the outrageous amount of sun. This lake is well known among anglers with the popular description "Big Bass in Grass". The reeds and boat docks on the shoreline are excellent hiding places for bass and can be fished from the shore with great results. Unfortunately, the vegetation is becoming a problem, with hydrilla overrunning the lake, and there are efforts in place to remove the plants before they begin to affect bass population.

He started out in a shallower spot with a bunch of lily pads. First he threw a topwater frog. He caught three or four largemouth bass but only one was worth keeping. John decided that he might have better luck in the deeper water so he tied on a crankbait. He went out a little deeper and found a good spot. He fished there for about an hour but only caught two. Neither one was a keeper. He made up his mind to stay a little long and ended up catching a decent six pounder. But after about twenty minutes he changed spots again. He found a nice looking spot that had some grass. From years of experience John knew that bass like staying close to grass because there is usually food in the grass. So he tied on a jig that had a crawfish trailer on it. He casted a few times and caught one but wasn't having much luck.

On this trip I found that the bass preferred the scum that covered these lay-downs or the scum that was located near this cover. Bass will cruise along under the cover of the scum in search of baitfish but prefers to be close to deeper water and cover so that they can move into it if danger approaches. The bigger bass came from the narrow stretches of thick scum that lined the deeper banks where the water underneath this scum was two to three feet. Most of the scum was in the shallow coves so that's where most of the bass were caught but when I came across the occasional deep scum line there was nearly always a good bass lurking beneath.

The line goes tight ,then a strike ,then the pole bending down into the water,the line running of the reel.That is when you know it's a big fish and the adrenaline starts to pump then you see the great Largemouth bass leap from the water as it try to get the hook out of its mouth as if its life depended on it .But after a long tiring fight it's over and the giant green largemouth bass is in the boat .It's a giant 5lber .Now that would be a fish to bad on average I only catch 3 lbs however no matter the size fishing is something that everyone can enjoy in her own way. There's a way to fish that everyone can like rather you are on that just likes to cast a line and wait for a fish to come or you are someone that likes to active

Other people ski and tube, but I don’t. I have seen what’s in the water! I like the challenge of fishing in the bayou. It contains largemouth bass, small mouth bass, catfish, grass carp, different species of gar, blue gill, bream, and white perch. It’s challenging because, first, I have to decide what I want to fish for. What I am fishing for determines how and where I fish. If I want to fish for bass, which I like to do mostly, I fish down the banks. Bass usually hang out near stumps and trees. If I want to fish for bream, I go to shallow areas near clusters of trees. Catfish are fun to fish for because I can “tight-line” from my house. I set up a pole and cast it into the channel and just wait—right in my back yard. I never run out things to fish for in the

I have been fishing my whole life, especially bass fish. I normally try to catch largemouth bass, which are very common where I am from. I was on my high school’s bass fishing team and we actually did pretty well for the most part, especially coming from such a small school. Largemouth bass are our prime target during these fishing tournaments. A largemouth bass is a white/green fish usually ranging from 1 pound to 6, they can also get up to 10 pounds as well. You can bass fish for fun or you can do it competitively such as tournaments. Tournaments usually go like every other tournament, you have two people and an adult captain that basically drives the boat and puts people in the best spots to catch bass. Every tournament usually starts at around 7 in the morning and goes through to 3 in the afternoon. After the time limit is reached, the boats then unload and get pulled up in the parking lot with the fish in them. The teams, then one by one go up to the weigh station and get a bag to put the

These swimbaits were bigger than many of the fish I was catching and it seemed silly that a bass would even bite it. However, I learned from experience I should never judge something before putting it to the test and it wouldn't hurt to give these “big swimbaits” a chance. I ended up buying a six inch swimbait and dedicated a full day to using it. I almost gave up after using it for a few hours with no results, but I stuck with my plan. On my final cast, I felt a slight “tick” as I was reeling it in. I set the hook and suddenly I had the biggest bass of my life on the line. The bass fought hard, almost tipping my kayak, but finally I brought it in close and grabbed it. In my hands, was that elusive five pound bass from straight out of my dreams! At last, all the time, work, and dedication paid off. I was hollering at the top of my lungs in joy. The best part of the catch was putting her back in the water knowing that one day she would be even bigger.

Fishing has been around a long time and has been evolving over the years. In fact, the first known fishermen were from the Stone Age. They used materials that were available to them to catch fish and put food on the table for their families. Succeeding the Stone Age however, fishing has slowly begun to transform into more of a sport than a method of providing food. National Geographic states, “It wasn't until the 15th century that fishing began its evolution into a sport. Previously, fishing was simply a means for survival.” Fishing has changed so immensely that it has become a competitive sport. Fishermen all over the world angle competitively against each other in huge tournaments for a living. These professional fishermen are awarded millions of dollars to angle out of expensive boats that their sponsors pays for.

Some of the most popular current fishing practices are bottom trawling, cyanide fishing, dynamite fishing, and ghost fishing. All of these practices have two things in

In Conclusion when you go fishing out on a river or lake remember to bring the right fishing equipment. Stink bait works best on catfish if that's what you're going to catch. But if you're going for bass ten frog poppers or flys work best. Carp like shrimp dipped in tobacco if you're fishing for carp.Now that you know what to use and make sure you have the right gear have a nice time fishing the next time you

Circle hooks are widely used by deep sea fishers. They're a type of fishing hook that is circular, sharply curved. The circle hook has a greater success rate at hooking fish, and it does less damage to gills and fins. So, if you want to catch and throw back, you're more likely to help your catch survive the adventure.
