Unless fishing is your way of making a living, it's supposed to be fun. It's always enjoyable for me because I don't fish for bass, at least not on purpose! Bass fishing is a lot like work and by nature I'm a lazy man, who has never had the slightest interest in past times that require more than a minimum amount of effort. Besides, it can be an expensive hobby if you're going to be a serious bass fisherman. Assuming that you do want to invest a small fortune in bass fishing, whether it's for small mouth or large mouth bass, your first priority is to buy a real genuine bass boat. Just any old boat won't do. You can't troll around the lake in an old boat with a minnow and hook, if you're going to...

In the boating world, there are few things so frustrating and disappointing that having a boat with too little power. An underpowered boat is very inefficient from a fuel usage perspective, it will tend to 'push through' the water rather than planning off on top of it, and the boat simply will not perform as it should. Before you buy any boat, you must ensure that the main propulsion of the boat is adequate for you intended uses. Marine Engines basically come in 4 types: Inboard/Outboard - They are called this since the engine, much like an automobile engine, is mounted inside the hull of the boat below decks and the drive unit is mounted on the stern of the boat with a drive shaft encased in a...

NHL jerseys have become increasingly popular over recent years as ice hockey is now being watched by more and more people. This is a great way of supporting your team and uniting with fellow fans at live matches or in the pub. The only problem is that fake shirts are also becoming increasingly popular. This is especially the case with websites such as eBay because you don't physically see the item before you buy it. Whereas something may look genuine in a photo, this may not be the case when you get the actual product. Another way you can get conned is sellers may use a photo of a genuine shirt which is completely different to the item that they are actually selling. There are a variety of ways of...

Hank Aaron - Hitting 715 Home Runs - Okay 755 Home Runs What must it have been like to chase a legend? Babe Ruth's record of 714 lifetime homers was a record I never thought would be passed.

Imagine getting a letter describing how you would be shot while you stood in the outfield. The FBI was called in to investigate some of the letters Hank received. Through...

So what's a slip bobber? Well, a slip bobber is a bobber that slides freely up and down your fishing line. For any bobber to work there must be a way to hold the it at a certain spot on the fishing line. To use the old fashion clip on type, you simply clip the bobber above the hook at the depth that you want your bait to be under water. This is fine but it limits your ability to cast if you want to fish deeper than about 3 feet. Here's where the slip bobber out shines the clip on type. The slip bobber allows you to cast just about as far as you normally would. You can also fish as deep as you want. I have used slip bobbers to catch Crappie 30 feet deep in 40 feet of water. Rigging up a slip bobber...

I've got nothing against Philadelphia, let me make that clear. I've also never lived there, but did spend a few years there on several weekends, to paraphrase W.C. Fields. And even though cold, grey, rainy days could remind me of New York or Baltimore, where I actually have lived, they always make me think of Philadelphia in wintertime. Like today, when Southern California is anything but sunny, where intimidated drivers creep through rivers of standing water while daredevils swerve around them, wheels deep in the muck, throwing up rooster tails like offshore power boats, just before they lose control and start sliding sideways down Ventura Boulevard. Thank God it doesn't snow here. I'm eager to get...

There is an old saying, "When the tide is out, the table is set." When my Finnish-born grandfather fished the cold waters of Michigan's Lake Superior in his homemade hand-crafted boat, a generation ago, the bounty of the waterways contributed in delicious and abundant ways to the family's well being. My mother's father never worried about the issues that I worry about today when I stand at a fish case, debating the safety, the price and the environmental issues. Steeped in my heritage is a great love of deep-sea fishing, and of course, an appreciation for the unmistakable taste of exquisitely prepared, fresh caught, wild fish. That unmistakable taste is becoming increasingly rare to find. It doesn't...
