Fishing Naked | OutdoorHub

Fishing Naked | OutdoorHub: "This is no post-April Fools’ patter. I’m not promoting a naturalist approach to fishing and advising you wear nothing but what Ma Nature gave you when you’re out angling. Think of this subject more along the lines of The Naked Chef, or Naked Science, a pair of cable television shows that are popular because their hosts promote the basics of food prep and science, respectively."

Best Fishing TIps to Catch Tarpon | Salt Water Sportsman

Best Fishing TIps to Catch Tarpon | Salt Water Sportsman: "Right Pass at the Right Time
The key to catching tarpon is to be at the right pass at the right time. Most savvy tarpon captains choose to anchor in the passes and fish live baits under floats. Anchor lines are rigged with floats and quick-release loops so the boat can be released quickly from the anchor and the tarpon can be chased down immediately after hook-up."

Catch More Walleyes with Jigs - Ten tips | Walleye Fishing

Catch More Walleyes with Jigs - Ten tips | Walleye Fishing: "Jigs are the most versatile tool in any walleye angler's tackle box.  Like any technique, there are details and nuances that can make you successful or unsuccessful.  If there is one aspect of jig fishing that is often overlooked, it would be the importance of versatility.  There is not necessarily a right or wrong way to fish a jig.  When the fish are biting, you can fish a jig in a lot of different ways and get bit.  When conditions get tougher however, we often see a particular stroke or jigging style produce and catching fish is all about locking into that specific mojo.

Are We Overdoing Catch And Release? | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

Are We Overdoing Catch And Release? | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "The art of catch and release could be on the verge of be coming the next big concern of fishery managers and biologists. It's actually already been under scrutiny for some time because keep-and-eat is what's supposedly missing from "workable" slot limits. Fisheries biologists claim that the only way slot limits really work for any lake is for small fish, those under the slot, to be retained in larger numbers than what is currently in style with bass fishing society (which is practically none).
   But they were inclined to support and promote catch and release as part of their fisheries plans and perhaps had hoped to strike some kind of balance between live release and a visit to the table, for bass in particular. No one realized that catch and release would become THE THING TO DO, almost a religious experience, for bass anglers and that such a noble ethic could become a problem for fisheries management."
