A Fishing Day Without A Boat...

From all the fishermen or anglers that are out there, with all the advice, helpful hints as to where to fish, what times to fish, what kind of line, hooks, rods, reels to use. Even though we all do not have the fundings to go out and get the most expensive gear to go fishing like the Pros do. Even though they have sponsorships and somewhat funding. We all like to go out there, whether on a boat, from a John Boat to a Triton or Nitro Bass Tournament type with all the whistles. Of course it comes with a pretty price as well. Fishing is a way of relaxing, enjoying the day or morning with a friend(s) or by yourself, but I do not recommend going out on a boat by yourself. If you do, at least let someone know your destination and return time. Never know what could happen, better safe then sorry later on.
As for me, well, I've been fishing from both aspects of being on a boat, a pier and on the shore line. I would prefer lakes and canals over the ocean, it's more calm. Unless you are in a tournament or competing with friends, make fishing your day, forget about work, the worries of the everyday hasles, and of course, bills.

Went Fishing Today And These Are Two Lures That I Used...

While fishing this afternoon I figured, why not give a review on my lures, the ins and outs of them. I selected two different Swimbait Lures at two different prices, from the same store. Since they are the new hype, well not so new, but the lure designs are new, almost fish like and swimming like a fish or bait. Well for my review they are both almost 5 inches long. After I casted both lures for some action, the Silver soft plastic Shad with the single tri-hook for me is the best that I have seen out there or have used, it moves and mimics the actual bait or fish, I casted it about 40-50 feet with no weight attached and got several bites on it. The other swim bait lure two color hard plastic Shad with the two tri-hooks and the most separaters, which I'm supposed to think will swim a lot better. Well, after casting the hard plastic Shad the same distance in the same waters, but it did not swim at all. It came in straight like it was a stick jig; no swimming action. The only thing that was moving was the hook and it cost twice as much as the soft plastic swim bait. It might be that I have a bad Swim bait, but I doubt it. This is just my view of my two Swim baits.
