		<description><![CDATA[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&#8217;t see, miss the big one, and hear, inevitably, that you &#8220;should have been here yesterday&#8221; &#8212; or last week or next month. If you return alive and sane, no one believes a word you tell them; if you stay out too long or too often, you lose your family or your job. If you don&#8217;t stay ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There has been a lot of controversy over &#34;Fish Attractants&#34; or otherwise known as &#34;Fish Scents&#34;.
In the past, I&#39;ve noticed that many of my former bass angling students as well as my bass guide clients have always come prepared with plenty of &#34;Fish Attractant&#34;, 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.
&#160;
Is that method really practical?
There are several different types of &#34;Fish Attractants&#34; 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, etc. have to get the anglers to buy this stuff!
&#160;
First of all let me explain the importance of &#34;Fish Attractant&#34;. ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Fish are one of the best food stuffs you can eat.
Fish contain great natural oils that are not only good for the brain but also for your skin. The fatty acids contained in Omega 3 can contribute to the health of the brain and retina.
Eating fish twice a week can reduce the risk of Heart disease, Dementia, high Cholesterol and High blood pressure. Children who eat fish regularly have less of a tendency to become obese.
Here is one quick and easy fish recipe that can be prepared in minutes in you microwave oven.
Why use your microwave? Because if you get right it really is the best way to cook fish.If cooked with the right covering the fish will steam naturally in its own juices.
Microwave Garlic Cod or Monkfish

2 teaspoons chilli powder
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon  ground black pepper

Make sure to rub the spice mixture into the slices you cut.

		<description><![CDATA[Tips for that perfect shore lunch or fish fry with your friends in the backyard:
Gut and clean those fish right away and keep them as cool and clean as possible. Small fish cook better and taste better than big fish.
- You&#8217;ll need a good seasoned cast iron pan. Yes, a cast iron pan. While the pan is cold, pour in a good amount of oil. Peanut oil has no taste and doesn&#8217;t create as much smoke as other cooking oils can. Put the pan on the fire and get the oil really hot. Test it with a piece of bread &#8211; if it sizzles and toasts almost immediately, it&#8217;s hot enough!
-Take a paper bag with a little corn meal or flour and a dash of lemon pepper and shake 1 fillet at a time until well coated. The moisture of the fish will collect the coating ( no need for ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[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 &#8220;one that got away&#8221;, has become an over-worked cliché. But under the cliché, beyond the &#8216;lies&#8217;, 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 adulation, respect, and envy, of other fishermen.
Suddenly, the line pulls tight. Our quarry races off. The fight is short, or ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well folks, now that the winter is near over and the ice is off most of the lakes, ponds, rivers and streams all we need to do now is wait for the crappie spawn to catch some big slab spring crappie.
Wrong! You are missing out on some of the most amazing spring crappie fishing. The fishing pressure will be light because of the still very cold weather. If you can tolerate some very inclement weather you will experience some of the most amazing spring crappie fishing.
After ice out it is time to go out and start your spring crappie fishing. The crappie are still in deep water but will start their move into holding areas close to their spawning beds. They will be hungry and will their feeding in earnest. The water is extremely cold, so you will have to use a very slow bait presentation.
The trick is being able ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Fishing in the spring is something that anglers look forward to all winter long. The problem with spring trout fishing is that anglers have to deal with many obstacles that they don&#8217;t have to deal with when trout fishing during other seasons. Cold water temperatures, high and muddy water, and less than ideal weather conditions are just a few of the things spring trout fishing has in store for the average angler.
In this article I will provide 3 tips for trout fishing during the spring of the year. I have been using these tips to help me catch trout during the spring for more than two decades, and if they work for me I know they will work for you. Keep these 3 spring fishing tips in mind as this trout season gets underway and you will experience more fishing success.
These 3 tips are being listed in no particular order ...]]></description>

My Dad was for the most part during his life a very difficult and angry person. While I was growing up we all walked on pins and needles as the old expression goes. It seemed like there was never anyway to please my Dad.
I always envied the other kids as their Dads took them to ball games and took that extra time to make then feel important and support their interests. The only thing that my Dad and I ever did together was go fishing. He loved fishing and I was his constant companion.
During our fishing trips it was more ...]]></description>
