My man and I live on one of the premier walleye fishing lakes in the state of Minnesota. We moved here about five years ago and have loved every minute of it. We have always enjoyed walleye fishing. I was stunned when my husband began to take an interest in bass fishing. There are several articles in the sporting mags about fishing for large mouth bass, but we hadn't fished for them. My partner asserted we had enough walleye in the freezer and could catch more any time, but he needed to engage in the sport of fishing for large mouth bass.
I enjoy being out in the boat and getting a tan, so I didn't truly care what my hubby was fishing for. Then one day we were out on the lake and he caught a big bass casting into shallow water. I was amazed at the sight of this beautiful fish jumping out of the water, shaking his head attempting to get rid of the hook in his mouth. I had been relaxing in the sun reading a novel when the excitement started. My husband told me to get the net. I waited with the net and observed the enormous fish leap out of the water again. After the leap my partner's fishing rod almost doubled over as the fish bore down into the lake. This battle went on for about five minutes before we ultimately had the large mouth bass in the boat. We took footage and then released this superb fighter.
After witnessing the fun my husband had in hooking the large bass I announced I wanted to give it a try. After only three casts I felt a jolt at the end of the fishing rod and then a powerful pulling. I have been fishing for a number of years and could not believe the power of that fish. He swam under the boat to attempt to get rid of the hook. He then made an air borne jump from the water. The jump in the air dislodged the hook from his mouth. It was the most exciting fish I ever lost! I knew why my partner had switched to fishing for large mouth bass.
Fishing for bass requires the utilization of artificial lures. There is a giant choice of lures in numerous shapes and sizes. In the past I have not paid much attention when my hubby is picking out lures, but with bass fishing I have started my own tackle box. What an incredibly fun fish to catch. I do not take a book with me in the boat when we are searching for large mouth bass.
The crappie is a very plentiful game fish that goes by many different names such as calico bass, speckled perch, speckled bass, white perch, pole crappie, stawberry bass and papermouth, Selecting the right crappie fishing reel to match your crappie rod is important to have a well balanced crappie fishing rig. There are three types of reels you can select from and all of them work in different situations. The three types you can choose from are the bait casting reel, the spinning reel, and the spin cast reel. Of the three crappie fishing reels the bait caster is the one you most likely will never use when you are crappie fishing because they are not suitable to fish with light test line and small crappie jigs. Stawberry bass it casters are only used in very special situations as crappie fishing rigs.
The most popular crappie reel is the spin cast reel because it is simple to use, but the spinning reel holds a very close second in popularity. The spin cast reel has a simple push button when you cast that releases the line. Spin cast reels are a good choice for beginning pole crappie fisherman as a crappie fishing rig selection because they are a great reel when you are first learning to cast. But there are many veterans who prefer them over spinning reel because of the soft delivery that's needed when fishing crappie live baits.
Speckled perch spinning reels which are commonly referred to open faced reels,also make a good choice for any crappie fishing rigs. Spinning reels are excellent choice for crappie fishing because you use very light test line to fish 1/64oz crappie jigs very easy. However spinning or open face reels are not like the spin cast reel that operates with a push button. Spin cast reels operate by opening or closing what is called a bail. When the bail is released you hold the line so it doesn't curl off the spool and then cast. Once you cast the bail will close when you turn the handle. Casting spinning reels takes a bit more practice, but is still a goos choice for a crappie fishing rig.
Here's a few speckled perch fishing rig tips that may help you.
Tip#1 If you are using a papermouth spin cast reel and just can't get your cast far enough to where the crappie are located, switch to a spinning ultralight reel. These reels release line quickly and farther.
Tip#2 Always get the drag on your speckled perch reel by pulling the line from the rod tip. For example get your self a large lure with multiple treble hooks and cast it out onto the grass in your back yard make it hook into the grass then reel tight and set your drag.
