Fishing Blog Update - November 5th 2012
Well we are into the start of winter and it looks like it going to be a very cold one at that! I think i may be able to get in a couple more trips to the lake before its get's too cold for us to go out. I will have to stock up on a few winter baits as they say fruity in the summer and spicy in the winter (how true that saying is i don't know) but i am sure a few meaty products will also get a few results this time of year.
I have been reading up on a few fishing methods and reminding myself of the species of fish and how they feed in different times of year. I have included some in this blog and i think it handy to remind yourself sometimes about the fish you are trying to catch and what their habits are and what they like to feed on. Take a look i think you'll like it!
There are also a couple of books i would like to recommend as i was given them the other day and reading them took me back to my youth when i was a water whacker (learning to float fish) and we would do anything to catch a fish.
COARSE FISHING METHOD MANUAL by JOHN WILSON
This book covers every type of course fishing there is from dead baiting to stalking with floaters. There are detailed diagrams of tackle set up's for you to follow and also diagrams on how you should fish your swim. It looks in detail at how the fish react and feed.

This is every fisherman's MUST. This book covers all types of fishing, coarse, sea and fly. It also has detailed information on every type of fish you can imagine and some you can't. It has information about techniques, tackle and bait preparation and presentation.
IMPROVE YOUR COARSE FISHING - POLE FISHING EDITION by JAN PORTER
this book is a full guide to all types of Pole fishing giving you advice on how to use and handle the poles and whips properly and also how to setup you rigs and elastics to ensure you get the best experience out of pole fishing.
These books are a great read and i have to admit there are some tips and tricks they show in the books that i had forgotten and now i have refreshed my memory will increase my fishing and results dramatically. We'll have to see if it produces any results on my next fishing adventure.
