The program was initiated in coordination with Dr. Craig Lilyestrom of the Puerto Rico Department of Natural and Environmental Resources (DNER), who has consistently supported the successful completion of this effort. He also reviewed a draft of this report prior to its finalization. Representatives of the commercial guided marine recreational fisher and bait fisher communities were very supportive, although some components of the non-commercial recreational community were more reticent. Mr. Jorge Casillas, a graduate student at the University of Puerto Rico, Mr. Eloy Martinez, an aspiring graduate student recently accepted at the University of South Florida, and Ms. Maria Camacho-Rodríguez of the DNER were of great help with certain logistic arrangements and in conducting certain interviews. Messrs. Mark Hardin and Frank Hearne provided helpful assistance and advice, and Christopher LeGore assisted with photographic production. Finally, Mr. Jose M. Berríos served as Contract Manager for DNER, as ably assisted by Ms. Aitza Pabón. All of these contributions were essential to the successful conduct of this effort, and all are appreciated.

  • Riding the Devil's Horse
    #2 With Dr. Todd E.A. Larson VOLUME TWO Riding the Devil’s Horse: Smithwick’s Legendary Lure Dr. Todd E.A. Larson © 2016 One of the joys of summer in Northern Wisconsin was going to the local tackle shops with my dad two or three times per week to pick up bait and scope out the new baits. There were two tackle shops in the unincorporated town of Gordon, Wisconsin, which was less than ten miles from our cabin. Another 15 miles down Highway 53 was Minong, Wisconsin—home at the time to Link Bros., a famed boat seller that is now even more famous for selling Jack Link’s Beef Jerky treats. Anyway, in the town of Minong there were three additional tackle shops. One, which I forget the name of, also had a malt shop. We rarely went into this one, as my dad knew that going in would mean buying malts for all six of his kids. But one fine summer day when I was around eight or nine, he took the whole clan into Minong and we managed to convince him to spring for ice cream. While we were delighting in our delicious frozen treats, my dad retreated to the back of the store where the fishing lures were all placed on a large wire wall rack. I never once saw a box in all the times I frequented this bait shop. Finishing my malt, I went back to join him to stare at the lures. Now, my dad never met a tackle shop he didn't like, and always left with at least three or four baits.

  • Basic Freshwater Baits
    BASIC FRESHWATER BAITS There are many different baits available to make it easy for everyone to get in on the fun of freshwater fishing. These include commercial baits bought from tackle and bait shops, baits that you can find in your yard, and baits that you can make from natural materials. Let’s look at the baits available and how to use them. WORMS WORMS – Worms include large species, often called earthworms or night crawlers, and small, frisky manure worms. Earthworms and night crawlers are found in any lawn and can be easily gathered after a rain or found under boards or rocks. Smaller manure worms are found around farms. Large worms are good baits for walleyes and bass, while small worms are good whole or in pieces for panfish, sunfish, and trout. CRAYFISH – Crayfish are a main food source for fish such as smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, walleye and large trout. They can be bought from bait stores or captured by using a window screen or fine mesh net in the water. Stir the water to chase the crayfish into the net. Store in moist rags, damp sphagnum moss or a bait bucket. CRAYFISH MINNOWS AND BAITFISH – Many types of minnows and baitfish are available from bait stores. These can range from small minnows to large shiners for bass and pike fishing. Capture minnows by using minnow traps or mesh minnow screens/nets. Use bait such as bread crumbs to attract the minnows to a trap and check the trap daily. For a minnow net or screen suspended from a rope, use MINNOWS crumbs to attract the minnows and raise the net & BAITFISH frequently to capture the prey.

  • Fish ID and Lure Art Background.Indd
    Lure Art Background Introduction There are hundreds of different types of fi shing bait. Bait comes in a variety of shapes, sizes, colors, and materials and is generally put into two categories; natural or artifi cial. Bait is either a material found in nature or artifi cially made to attract fi sh. Anglers use varying types of bait in order to target certain species when fi shing. Natural Bait vs. Artifi cial Lures Natural Natural bait is something living or once living. For freshwater fi shing this includes earthworms, leeches, and crayfi sh. For saltwater fi shing, this includes bunker, spearing, squid, and sandworms. In most cases, natural bait is a better choice, but this depends on your location, the weather, and fi shing conditions. Most fi sh will go for something that looks and smells natural, with natural movement. Artifi cial Artifi cial bait is manmade. Commonly referred to as lures, examples include soft plastics, spinners, spoons, fl ies, bucktails, poppers, rubber shads, and crankbaits. There is a large variety of lures, which can be quite intimidating to the beginner angler. However, lures can be quicker and easier to use. Simply tie or snap on your lure and start fi shing! Moreover, if that lure is not producing, then switch the color or type and see what happens. Although natural baits are usually chosen fi rst, there are times when artifi cial lures are a better choice. For example when fi shing at night, in murky water, or quick moving water an artifi cial lure can come in handy.i In dark or murky water, a fi sh’s fi eld of view is lessened; therefore the display (color, sound, vibration) of artifi cial bait can improve your chances of attracting and catching fi sh.
