When it comes to fish that are easy to catch, fun to find and plentiful, there is nothing quite like crappie and bluegill. Normally found together in lakes, you can use a lot of similar techniques to land them. In fact, with the right tips, you can even bring in as many as ten or more an hour. Let’s get started!

1. Pick the right temperature.

Crappie and bluegill tend to like weather that is a little cooler. In California, you’ll have your best results during the winter months, or whenever the temperature drops to around 55 degrees. Any colder than that and they’ll be a little harder to find, but we’ll cover where to look for them later in this article. If you are fishing on a very hot day, your luck may not be as good with crappie or bluegill, unless you know where to look.

2. Use the right bait.

By far, the best bait to use to land crappie or bluegill is live bait. Many people prefer to use live minnows since they are just about the right size for these smaller fish, and they have a lot of movement. You may also want to consider the use of lures, and jigs to further entire crappie and bluegill to take the bait. Anything lively will work, and even some spinner baits will work well in some situations.

3. Wait for spawning season.

If you really want to increase your take, wait for the spawning season when you’ll literally be tripping over crappie and bluegill. Lake management and park management officials can help you gauge when this season occurs, since it is temperature dependent instead of date based. Keep an eye on conditions and when the temps are just right, you’ll be able to catch a ton of these fish.

4. Look in the right places.

During the day, crappie and bluegill will commonly be found underneath docks, especially if it is hot out that day. These are usually shallow water fish, so if you’re in water that is deeper than eight feet, you may not have as much luck catching them. In spawning season, the crappie and bluegill will be in the shallows, and you can even see them right from shore since they will typically be in water that is only two feet deep or less.

5. Use the right gear.

These are smaller fish, so you can leave the heavy equipment at home. Forget about heavy weight test line and super duty rods, all you need is a basic line, and a rod and reel. In fact, that’s what makes fishing for crappie and bluegill so much fun. Anyone can do it, and there is very little expensive equipment to buy.

6. Have fun.

Fishing for crappie and bluegill should be fun. These little fish can be pretty feisty and even though they may not be as big as a King Salmon, you can still have plenty of fun testing your skills.

Although many people associate fishing with spring, summer and fall, there are many fish that are actually easier to catch during the winter months. This is particularly true in California, where temperatures regularly drop just a little below 50 in most areas. This climate makes it a lot easier to withstand winter fishing and many fish will be more than ready to take your bait. Here are some tips to help you make the most out of your winter fishing.

1. Look for the right fish.

Bass are excellent winter fish, as are crappie and bluegill. Every once in awhile you may also come across some salmon, but these three will be the most likely catches. In fact, many bass fisherman prefer to fish in the winter simply because it is a lot easier to increase your take. If you have other fish in mind, make sure you do a little research into their winter habits before heading out.

2. Use the right bait.

Fish are much hungrier during the winter months, so you won’t have to worry too much about them being picky. However, live bait usually works best in this situation and will increase your chances of getting a successful catch. Minnows are an excellent choice, or another type of small fish. Worms will be a little harder for the fish to spot, which brings us to our next tip.

3. Use a bright or reflective lure.

Winter months are usually overcast, so you’ll need to take advantage of a bright or reflective lure in order to get the attention of the fish. Keep in mind that it’s going to be pretty dark down there, and the more you are able to draw their attention upward, the better your chances are of landing some great fish.

4. Slow it down.

Bass fishing in particular requires a little more patience in the winter months. The fish are a bit more sluggish due to the colder temperatures, so this can work in two ways. First, they are of course easier to catch, but second, they will take longer to get to your bait. Make sure you set up a good spot and then wait awhile before trying a new one.

5. Look in the right places.

Bass and crappie will tend to be near the edges of the lake during the warmest parts of the day, but you can also find them under outcroppings and piers.

6. Dress appropriately.

Even in California it is possible to get way too cold. Make sure that you bring plenty of warm clothing and consider bringing a thermos with a hot beverage. It will help you stay out longer. If you plan on camping through the night, you will need to bring extra gear in order to stay warm, particularly if you will be fishing in the mountains where nighttime temperatures can fall into the thirties. No one likes being miserably cold, but it’s easy enough to prevent this with the right gear.

Ice fishing is a sport that you either love or hate, and it is generally dependant on how much you like cold weather. While the days of freezing over an open hole on the lake have been superceded by cozy little portable cabins, there is still an element to this type of fishing that is very rough. If you are interested in trying ice fishing, or you need to find a few ways to improve your take, here are some great hints to get you started.

1. Bait is key.

Since the water is going to be dark under the ice, you have a slight advantage with your hole since the bait will be more visible. The best bet is to go with slightly larger chunks of dead bait, so that you can ensure the fish will be able to spot it. They will be hungrier and they are much more likely to go for something that looks like a decent meal.

2. Colorful lures.

The brighter and flashier your lures are, the greater your chances are of catching fish under ice. They’ll be naturally drawn by the light from the hole you’ve drilled glinting off the lure and you’ll get a lot more attention in less time.

3. The line matters.

You can’t use the same kind of line for ice fishing that you would for normal fishing. Mono line is usually the best, but you may need to experiment a little to see what works in your area, or on a specific day.

4. Patience is vital.

Ice fishing is not for the faint hearted and you will need to be very patient. It takes time and you may not be successful for a few hours. Make sure that you bring plenty of warm clothing, particularly if the day is very cold out. It is not much fun if you’re freezing to death.

5. Fish finders help.

Although many ice fisherman are against fish finders, this is the easiest way to locate fish under ice. If you don’t have a lot of free time on your hands, or you just want to speed up the process, a fish finder is incredibly valuable. Try to find one that uses sonar since this will be most effective under ice. You’ll need to drill small holes so that you can drop the sensors down under the ice, so make sure to bring a smaller auger with you.

6. Always check the ice before heading out.

A lake may look completely frozen, but there may be cracks that are not visible. If there has been any sort of a thaw, tread cautiously. If possible, check with lake management or other ice fishers before you head out. It is all too easy to get trapped under ice if it gives way underneath you.

Ice fishing may not be for everyone, but those that do give it a shot are generally hooked. This is a different kind of fishing, but with practice, you can be successful.

This is a question that haunts many fisherman. If you had waited five minutes longer – would you have caught that fish? Invariably, the instant you move from position a fish will pop out of the water behind you and this is probably the most frustrating aspect about fishing. However, there are a few good rules of thumb that you can follow to help you determine how long you should be sitting around waiting, and when to take action.

Patience is more than just a virtue when it comes to fishing. It is vital and for many of us, it is also nearly impossible. You can wait for hours and come up with nothing, or some days, you’ll get nibbles immediately. You can choose to sit there with the same bait, or try something new, but how do you know when to give up and make the switch?

First, it is important to make sure that you have the right bait for the right fish. If you’re not using the right bait, then it won’t matter how long you wait – the fish just aren’t going to be interested. However, if you are using bait that is tried and tested, or that has worked for you in the past, it may just mean that for that particular day it won’t work and you need to try something else.

You can figure out when to switch by taking a look around. If there are visible fish and they are simply not interested, switching is the best idea. If there are no fish that are visible, they may simply be lower than your bait and you’re not drawing them upward. If you can’t see any fish, give it about fifteen minutes. If you still don’t have anything, it’s time to try something else, or possibly change your location. For visible fish, ten minutes without a nibble generally means that something is off, so switching is best after about that amount of time.

Other factors will determine how long you should stay in one location. For example, the same fish that you are getting in the morning won’t be in that same spot in the afternoon. Some fish prefer to go deep when it gets hot out, others will head for vegetation or an outcropping. Study the habits of the fish you are after and make adjustments as necessary as the day goes on.

The weather can also have a big impact on your success rates and how long you should stay in one specific area. On cloudy days, there will usually be more fish near the surface, while on sunny days, you may need to go deeper. The best method is to target the fish you’re after, learn about their habits and keep a log of the time you spend and how fruitful it is.

There is no one answer to this problem, but by employing the above techniques you can stop wasting time and start catching fish – on your schedule.

Trolling is a great way to catch fish, in lakes, rivers or even out on the ocean. If you have never tried this type of fishing before, it’s actually quite enjoyable and chances are, you’ll be able to catch quite a few fish. There are a lot of different trolling methods that have been used throughout the centuries, but there are a few techniques that everyone can use to improve their trolling. Here are some great tips to get you started.

First off, let’s talk about bait. That is an essential part of successful trolling. After all, if the fish just aren’t interested in your bait, you can troll all day and never catch a thing. We have found that live bait works best, but there are those that swear by dead bait. However, the key can be found in the size of the bait that you are using, as well as the type.

Mackarel works best and is just about the right size. For ocean trolling, we definitely recommend squid, especially during the summer months. You can play around with different types of bait until you find the one that works best with your own methods. The larger sizes will probably work best, depending on the type of hook that you are using.

Speaking of hooks, this is also an important part of trolling successfully. Since the bait is moving ahead of the fish, this allows the fish to strike at it, and if you don’t have the right hook, it can simply strip the bait and head for the hills. To prevent this, we recommend using a little bit larger hook, and you may want to thread the line through your bait to increase your chances of a successful catch.

Now, let’s take a look at your speed. While you will be moving, it is essential to check your speed to make sure that you are not going too fast. It is much easier to troll when you are going about 3 knots. Any slower and you’ve defeated the purpose, and any faster, you’ll be outrunning many of the fish you’re trying to catch.

Your line is also very important when it comes to successfully trolling for fish. You’re going to want to make sure that the test weight is durable and that it won’t break under pressure. Go for a little bit heavier line to err on the side of caution. Most of the fish that you will be trolling for will require at least a 30 pound test weight so this is a great place to start. Again, in many cases, experimentation works best to find the right weight.

Last but not least, it is important to hold your rod correctly. If you keep it too close to your body and your line is too tight, you may miss out on the first strike. It is best to hold the rod at an angle away from your body and keep the line a little slack. You can snap to when you feel the strike, but stay relaxed until you do.

Go into any bait and tackle shop and you’ll be astounded by the sheer amount of selection that is available. Do you really need all of this stuff? Depending on the type of fish you are looking for the answer is both yes and no. The key is finding the right mix of equipment that is essential. Not only will you save money, but you will be able to enjoy a higher success rate on your fishing trips. Let’s go over the essential fishing equipment that you really can’t do without.

1. A quality rod.

Buy a cheap rod and you’ll probably regret it, especially if you are going after bigger fish. Your main investment should be in a really good rod that will last for several seasons. The material is completely up to you, but most prefer a composite rod that will hold up to the stress of a big fish, but not completely overwhelm the smaller species. Check out these quality rods: Fly Fishing Rods, Freshwater Rods, Saltwater Rods, and even Vintage Rods.

2. A great reel.

If you have ever hooked a fish only to end up helpless snared in loose line and knots, you know how important a good real can be. A great reel however will never let you down. You may need to test quite a few before you find the one that fits your technique the best. Again, this is an area where it is ok to spend a little more money, since you’ll be ending up with a reel that will last for several years. Check out these quality reels: Saltwater Reels, Freshwater Reels, Fly Fishing Reels, and even Vintage Reels.

3. Colorful lures that mimic nature.

While you can spend loads of money stocking up on all of the latest lures, it is often the old standbys that will outperform them. Look for lures that are bright and do a good job of mimicking either real bait or a real insect. The brighter the better, especially if you are going after fish that prefer deep waters. Check out these quality lures: Fly Fishing Flies, Freshwater Lures, Saltwater Lures, Big Game Lures, and even Vintage Lures

4. Get the right bait.

This will depend largely on the type of fish you are seeking and it pays to do your research before you head out. At the end of the day however, you can pretty much guarantee that a freshwater fish will be happy to get a nightcrawler. Worms may not be expensive but they do get the job done, especially when compared to the more expensive bait that never seems to work.

5. A good net.

No matter how good you are, you’ll still need to have a good net at your disposal. Look for one with a smaller weave so that you can use it for any kind of fish and make sure that it can hold a heavier fish as well. If you’re noticing a few rips or tears in your net, get it replaced before you end up missing out on the catch of a lifetime.

6. A GPS system.

A fish finder with a GPS system can help you determine the terrain at the bottom of a lake and point out where you will be most likely to find the kind of fish that you are looking for.

From the time when man first decided that fish tasted pretty good, we’ve been struggling to adopt new techniques and unlock the secrets to successful fishing. While we may not rely on fish as our main source of food anymore, the contest has not dimmed. For thousands, every open fish season is filled with disappointment, regret and frustration.

Anyone that has ever picked up a pole knows how maddening fishing can be. If you don’t have the right combination of tools, bait and knowledge, you end up wasting your time. However, there are reasons that you may not be succeeding. We’ve targeted the top five reasons why you are not catching fish.

1. You’re in the right place at the wrong time.

Most fisherman fail to bring in their catch due to poor time planning. Every single species of fish has likes and dislikes, and this effects where they will be in any body of water. If you’re fishing in one area, chances are the fish are in another. Move, and they’ll move too. The key is studying the habits of each type of fish and learning how to immediately tell where they will be in the water at any given time.

2. It’s the wrong time of year.

Even in a lake, this can mean the difference between your success and failure. Certain types of fish will be incredibly easy to catch for a few weeks out of the year, and the rest of the time – good luck. If you want to learn how to gauge the right time to catch your fish, you’ve got to learn more about these cyclical changes and how to predict when they will occur.

3. The fish sense that the jig is up – and we don’t mean bait.

Fish have incredibly developed senses, and we really don’t give them enough credit. Did you know that one wrong odor can ruin your chances? You’ve got to learn how to mask that odor the right way, and fool the fish.

4. You’re using the wrong bait.

Different fish all like different bait – this is a common fact. However, certain species of fish will prefer a certain type of bait at different times of the day or even the year. By studying what they like to eat and experimenting, you can start making a big difference in the amount of fish you catch.

5. You’re not using the right equipment.

While it is impossible to get every single one of today’s latest advancements, it is important to get the right kind of equipment for the fish you’re after. If you are consistently dealing with the one that got away, the answer may be simpler than you think. Did you know that changing one hook can put a stop to this problem forever?

Fishing is supposed to be a relaxing sport, and when you know the secrets to success, you’ll find that it is a lot more enjoyable and rewarding.

If you are looking for a fish that is both fun and challenging to catch, there are few that can top the Rock Cod. This is a wily fish that will require a good deal of patience, but there are a few tips that you can utilize to make sure that your efforts are successful.

1. Go Deep –

Rock Cod are deep swimmers and in some cases, you’ll need to drop a line that is 400 feet long. The length of your line will depend on the area where you are fishing, but it’s always best to have extra. The fish gets their name from the fact that they like to hide around rocks on the bottom, so use the average depth of the body of water where you are fishing to determine how much line you are going to need.

2. Use Heavy Duty Sinkers -

The key to dropping your line is having it go down fast. This gets the attention of the Rock Cod and will ensure that you are a lot more successful. The heavier the sinker, the better. You want to be able to have that bait hit the bottom in just a few seconds. Try a variety of different sinkers to find the one that will work best for you.

3. Use the Right Bait –

By far, the best bait to use for a Rock Cod is squid, but the key is knowing how to use it. Many make the mistake of using a whole squid, or just big chunks of it. In order to improve your chances of hooking that fish, the best technique is to use strips of squid. Make them a bit long and this will garner quite a bit of attention from the Rock Cod in the area.

4. Get the Right Rhythm –

This is the biggest secret to success with this fish. Instead of dropping your line and waiting around, you’ve got to get a rhythm going. Drop it fast and bring it back up. Do this around three or four times. If you haven’t gotten one yet, move a few feet and try it again. Look for different rock formations (you may need to use a GPS system for this) and keep trying your luck. Rotate as often as possible to increase your chances.

5. Experiment with Different Lures –

Rock Cod are a little picky and not just any lure is going to work. Since they can be so contrary, it is best to try a wide variety of different types of lures. By far, the best lures for this fish are the Berkley Gulp lures. They attract a lot of attention and the way they are shaped ensures that the Cod will be going right for the bait.

By combining all of these tips, you can ensure that your next Rock Cod fishing expedition will not only be successful but a lot a of fun. In time, you’ll be a pro!
