fishermen and your spots learned traveling.

[ROBERT V. YOUNG]

Mr.Kahn.
Here is a good place to start to read and find information on fishing,
http://www.Fishin.com
Many articles on the internet to help you tie knots, what line, rod reel combo to by, the colors to use on spoons, flies, poppers,top water bait , the presentations to try, and I can go on and on.
Have your children get involved and the whole family can get involved in fishing picking out a spot.
Fishing's has many branches to the sport, camping, tail gate fishing excursions,shore walking , fly fishing, associations, boating, water sports etc.
The more you get involved and start fishing as a sport you will enjoy reading the shoreline for bottom structure, flow, looking for points and how fish are off points waiting for fish to come to them.
Fish are temperature based. They all are.
They live in a zone that suits there comfort and survival.
Like humans and HVAC systems adjust our comfort level in our homes. As do fish as they seek the thermocline layers for oxygen and temperature..
Some are suspended at temperature zones at certain times of the day.
You have to know this to locate specific species. Like Wallie, Lake Trout, Muskie, Northern Pike and most fish species to have or guarantee a better outcome.
They are all on the move at different times of the season.
It is spawning and habitat that influence the places to fish in that section of water you are on.
You see Mr.Chan, its exciting and educational, bonding and family oriented.
WIN WIN WIN. HA HA HA.
Again the colors to use in the water you are on. Clear water, tea stained, fast flowing river, spring feed lakes that are cold for trout etc.
It as in-depth as HI Mr.Chan and science has been recording fish and there actions sense mans earliest days when he used fishing to sustain himself for nourishment.
Please have question do not hesitate to call on myself of Clint for help.
Again Mr,Khan. Good fishing.

Some of the bass we have in our lake. These were caught by my youngest daughter and our neighbor and released back into the lake.

Aubrey have I told you what a great guy you are? And I am on the way so you can teach me..

[Aubrey J. Kahn]

Curtis, as you can see my friend it's not a dream, it's reality. Like I said we practice catch and release. The lake is well balanced and we have not had to do anything to the fish population with regards to feeding them. There are crappies, catfish etc and it all seems to work together. Heck we have turtles, sand hill cranes ( which feed out of my daughters hand), egrets, cormorants etc feeding from the lake. When we first bought the house there were water moccasins in the lake, we must have killed more than a dozen, no rattlers though.

[Aubrey J. Kahn]

Hey Curtis, all you need is a pole and some line, put a wild shiner on the hook and you will probably have one in less than 5 minutes. I swear they know that we will throw them back and they do it just for our amusement.

[Curtis M. Vilt]

Aubrey my daughter would come home from school and fish till she had blisters from stripping poppers for bass. Keep up the good life and hope to see you in Sarasota at the meeting.

[ROBERT V. YOUNG]

Thanks Mr.Khan.
Thanks for supporting this thread.

[Aubrey J. Kahn]

Hey, I am looking forward to it my friend. How old is your daughter, mine are 17, 15, and the youngest just turned 14 last week.

Those dam things are on steroids.
If they played baseball they would be infront of the courts with Barry Bonds. HA HA HA HA.
Curtis what am I doing wrong. HA HA HA

[Curtis M. Vilt]

Robert they feed all year down here. A Bass to get that big up there would be 150 years old. LOL

Glad to help my Young. When I was just a teenager living in South Africa the husband of one of my dads fellow workers would take me fishing at night. We would fish from midnight until 6am. we would fish from the pier at the harbor until the dolphins would disturb us then we would head to the beach and fish from the surf. We would catch sharks, cod, and all kind of fish. Never ate the sharks but everything else. We would use frozen sardines, octopus, and any live bait we could catch. Nowadays the only thing I could teach you to catch would be a cold. My kids are far better fisherman then I ever was.

[Aubrey J. Kahn]

thats the beauty of catch and release, they live to keep growing. The largest male we have cought has been less than 6 pounds, but the females are huge.

[Curtis M. Vilt]

My only child is 26 and her soon to be husband doesn't fish. She will get him hooked or just keep fishing with me. When she brook a rod for the first time she was worried I would be upset. I smiled and told her it is just a tool and it will happen again. Youda thunk she burnt the house down. LOL. Fishing is a great activity for kids of all ages

[Aubrey J. Kahn]

Amen to that, it keeps them busy and off the streets where they can get into trouble.
