Why Fifty Million People Fish
27
What sends a person away from the comforts of his hard-earned home to fight insects, rain, cold, and other disasters in the name of fishing? There is a curious rumor that fishing is idyllic and pastoral, that it rejuvenates the spirit and excites the blood to high adventure, that it requires high intelligence. My experience has been otherwise. Your boat leaks. It rains. You fall in the water, freeze, boil, hook yourself, hook your partner, lose your equipment, catch the weeds, catch pneumonia, lose more equipment, snarl the line, get bitten by flies you can’t see, miss the big one, and hear, inevitably, that you “should have been here yesterday” — or last week or next month. If you return alive and sane, no one believes a word you tell them; … Read entire article »

Do Fish Scents Make Sense?
22
There has been a lot of controversy over "Fish Attractants" or otherwise known as "Fish Scents". In the past, I've noticed that many of my former bass angling students as well as my bass guide clients have always come prepared with plenty of "Fish Attractant", and wow! do they ever use it. They will grab that particular bait they are using, hold it over the boats edge, and really pour it on. Is that method really practical? There are several different types of "Fish Attractants" on the market today in a multi-billion dollar industry where bass fishing is concerned, and the marketing is very costly!, and somewhere the companies have to sell, sell, sell, to make up for the high cost of marketing. Many commercials whether it be TV, Radio, Magazines, Outdoor Shows, … Read entire article »

Do Fishermen Really Tell Lies?
5
I guess, at the risk of upsetting some friends and readers, that only politicians, car salesmen, and advertisers, have as bad a reputation for telling pork pies as fishermen; it is a widespread prejudice. The picture of a fisherman, his arms spread wide, extolling the size of the “one that got away”, has become an over-worked cliché. But under the cliché, beyond the ‘lies’, there lurks a possibility. Fishing, by its very nature, nourishes the imagination ,feeding it with a potent fuel of hope and desire. There we are, rod in hand, waiting for the big one. At the back of mind is the hope, the picture, the dream, of the big one. The fish so big the negative of the photo will weigh ten kilos. The fish that will earn us the … Read entire article »
