Bait and Tackle Site

2006-05-20T06:13:00.000-07:00

My next fishing site is up and running. This time we are talking about bait and tackle, another confusing area in the fishing world. Your tackle is dictated by the type of fish you are fishing for, the type of water in which you are fishing, and even the time of day in which you are fishing. Better yet, there is a certain degree of subjectiveness in the choice of baits or tackle based on personal preference. To help you sort this out, I have created BaitandTackleWorld.com. Here we have articles about live bait, artificial bait, fly's, and filling out your kit. You will also find many resources where you can choose and purchase lures and other tackle for your kit.

What comes first?

2006-04-19T08:03:00.000-07:00

When I read this article, I had to ask myself, which comes first, the research or the conclusion? The scientist quoted at the end of the article is obviously sticking to her guns despite the fact that here research has been shot down in flames. Does she have some kind of agenda? I think so... If you don't want to read the article, then this post will forever remain a mystery to you...

The article describes the size and varieties of salmon that can be caught in Alaska as well as information about guided trips and cabin rentals in the Kenai river area. The author really paints a beautiful picture of the area and what it's like to fish there. It left me yearning to get on a plane to Alaska right away!
