| Hot Tips For Buying the Perfect Boat |
Whether you are a newbie to boating or a seasoned navigator, you will find that choosing a boat to buy can be quite a daunting task. There are so many different types and models of boats for you to choose from, and you have to take certain factors into consideration when you are looking for the perfect boat to buy.
On the one hand, you have to know what type of boat best suits your purposes. You should take into consideration things like what the boat will be used for, who will use the boat, and where the boat will be used. For example, if you are planning to use the boat for longer trips out at sea, then you should get a boat that has cabins, toilets and cooking facilities.
On the other hand, if you just need a boat for a day trip, for fishing or other activities, then a small and simple boat will suffice. If you have difficulty finding out which type of boat is most suitable for your purposes, you can refer to informative articles in boating websites and boat review magazines to find out the different types of boats that are available today. You can also ask your friends for their opinions and find out about their experiences with their own boats.

| Bass Fishing for Fun |
By: Ted Belfour
Bass fishing in the USA is a great combination of sports, adventure and recreation. Bass fishing, means pursuing black bass, a type of fish. Bass fishing has caught the fancy of Americans. You will find morning shows on TV about bass fishing. You will find thousands of websites exclusively on bass fishing. Bass fish is not about catching and eating. It is about catching and releasing.
Bass fishing is a great sports which doesn't need the skills possessed by a football athlete or the resilience of an acrobat. You need to be obsessed with the 'catch'. Hours of practicing can elevate you to the level of being called a pro. Bass fishing is about catching various species of bass - large mouth bass, small mouth bass, Kentucky bass, spotted boss, etc.
Experts opine that the beginners should start bass fishing in smaller ponds. They should avoid large lakes for this purpose. Once you have gained enough confidence, then only move to deeper areas in lakes. Bass fish loves to play hide and seek. Their natural habitat is behind rocks or plants or any such structures in the water body. Look for bass in such places. It is not necessary that the fish will be around large structures only. In fact, you have an equal probability of finding fish near a smaller structure.

| Fishing for Largemouth Bass By Kevin Sewell |
Largemouth bass are one of the most popular types of fish in the United States. You can easily write hundreds of different articles on bass fishing and I will continue to write about the different techniques that you can use to catch bass, but this article will cover the basics of bass fishing and how to catch them through the seasons.
In the spring, you will find these fish moving into the shallows to spawn. In lakes that have crappie, you will know that the bass spawn is coming just after the crappie spawn. Check the local fishing reports and talk to the bait shops to see what's going on with the fishing in your area. If the crappie are spawning, it's about that time to get ready for largemouth bass. While the crappie are spawning, bass will be in pre-spawn and you can catch them in deeper water near the typical spawning grounds. Try fishing deeper water off of points, deeper channels near shallow water. If you remember where the good spawning areas were the previous year, try fishing the deep water that is near these great spawning sites.

| The Best Time To Go Fishing By Trevor Kugler |
The best time to go fishing is anytime you can, am I right? As anglers we're all well aware of this fact, but the bottom line is that there are times during the day, week, and month that are more productive than others. In this article we're going to discuss a couple of ways to figure out the best time to go fishing. When you figure out how to be on the water at the appropriate times, your catch rates will increase dramatically.
So, how do we figure out which times are the best times to be on the water? This is actually much simpler than you might have imagined. It has to do with paying attention to the weather and moon. These two forces of Mother Nature have as much to do with the best time to go fishing as any single two factors, even what type of bait or lure you choose to employ.

| Why Do Fish Bite? By Trevor Kugler |
It seems as if anyone who spends time fishing has an answer (or thinks they have an answer) to why fish bite. In reality there are many reasons, but is there one answer that's batter tan the others? In this article we're going to discuss some of the most important reasons why fish bite, so that we can try to answer the question posed in the title of this article - why do fish bite.
A couple of the most important reasons why fish bite or don't bite has to do with water temperature and clarity. When water temperatures are extremely cold the fish's metabolism slows down, making the fish much less interested in eating (and thus biting). So water temperature fluctuations affect whether or not fish bite. How about water clarity? The clarity of the water the fish are swim in obviously affects whether or not a fish will bite as well. If a fish is having a difficult time seeing your bait, it only makes sense that they are less apt to bite, right?

| Night Fishing For Catfish - Enticing Trophy Catfish Into A Feeding Frenzy! |
By Mark Fleagle
Equipment you will need :
Boat
Boat Anchors
Separate 12v Battery To run lights
Night Lights
Submerged Lighting
Live Bait Keeper
Chum bag
Rod Holders
Heavy Bait Casting Or Spinning Rig
Insect Repellent
Night fishing for catfish can be a very rewarding fishing trip. Trust me If you do it correctly you will catch fish, not only will you catch fish but some will be lunkers! Catfish feed at night and are very active, and when they get into a feeding frenzy fishing action can be incredible! Catfish are attracted to submerged lighting And have a very keen sense of smell. So If you can locate their nightly haunts you can entice them on to your hook with some simple methods I will explain here. But first you must be setup and prepared for night fishing it is totally different at night then in the day. Things you take for granted during the day, don't apply at night.
Boat Setup for night fishing
Before you even think about going night fishing for catfish you need to have the following items:, lights for inside the boat ,either battery or coleman fuel type lanterns with two mantles. Set up your lights so they distribute light evenly inside the boat. I personally fish from a 20 foot pontoon and I have 3 halogen battery powered lights hung 2in the front, left and right and one hanging from my canopy in the rear. (I have used my colemans but they attract a huge amount of insects)
You also will need a secondary light on your person. This light is used for re-rigging your fishing poles. Trust me , no matter how prepared you are before your trip you will loose some tackle, from line crossovers, or snags, or fish snapping your line. (you can limit this by using heavy tackle and making sure your line is fresh) I personally use a led light that clips to the visor on my ball cap.
You also will need a light to illuminate the water surface I recommend 12v halogen light that can be directed outside the boat. Mount it on the side of your boat, in the center. I personally use and adjustable halogen that I can clip to the railing on my pontoon. Direct the light at a 60 degree angle from boat to water. This will illuminate the surface.
You will need a submerged light source. You are probably asking your self right now why do I need submerged lighting? The submerged lights will generate plankton swirls that will attract bait fish. Once the bait fish start schooling The big cats will come. attract schools Submerged lighting rigs come in a variety of sizes and shapes, the one I use is 36" long about 4" in diameter. Center the submerged light in the illumination pattern of the surface water lighting you just set up. Anchor your submerged lighting about 12 " off the bottom, (without an anchor they will float on top of the water).. make sure the light completely submerged under the water. I recommend you use a 5lb weight as an anchor. If possible, anchor the submerged light about 2 to 3 ft from the boat.

| Swimbaits - Big Baits for Big Fish By Kevin Sewell |
Have you heard of swimbaits? Most fishermen still have not heard of swimbaits. I am not sure how this is possible, but some anglers have not used these fishing lures yet. Thousands of fishermen are going to catch very big fish this year on swimbaits. If you don't know about swimbaits, you are missing out on some of the biggest fish that you will ever catch.
Swimbaits resemble a bait fish with a side to side wobbling action as well as some action from their tail. They are made of soft plastics and they are definitely big fish baits.
