GIPPSLAND FISHING & OUTDOORS - WINTER 2019 03 Set for a cracking classic President of the Twin Rivers Business and Tourism Association, Jamie Malady, said this year’s Twin Rivers Bream Classic - the 23rd classic - is shaping up as the biggest yet and will be a major boon for the region in a usually quiet time on July 20 and 21. ”We had 780 entries last year, we’re aim- ing for 1000 this year. Of those 780 from last year, it was well over 50 per cent of those people coming from outside the re- gion, and that means they are camping, in accommodation, buying ice, a slab of beer, whatever it may be, but they are doing it here in the middle of winter, which is great for our region,” Mr Malady said. This year’s classic has a major focus on being family-friendly with reduced entry costs for children and adults with under 16s being $25 each and adults being $40 dollars. ”This will make it easier for families with reduced entries and get more families fishing,” Mr Malady said.

    SPORT FISH of OHIO Identification DIVISION of WILDLIFE

    SPORT FISH OF OHIO identification DIVISION OF WILDLIFE 1 With more than 40,000 miles of streams, 2.4 million acres of Lake Erie and inland water, and 450 miles of the Ohio River, Ohio supports a diverse and abundant fish fauna represented by more than 160 species. Ohio’s fishes come in a wide range of sizes, shapes and colors...and live in a variety of aquatic habitats from our largest lakes and rivers to the smallest ponds and creeks. Approximately one-third of these species can be found in this guide. This fish identification guide provides color illustrations to help anglers identify their catch, and useful tips to help catch more fish. We hope it will also increase your awareness of the diversity of fishes in Ohio. This book also gives information about the life history of 27 of Ohio’s commonly caught species, as well as information on selected threatened and endangered species. Color illustrations and names are also offered for 20 additional species, many of which are rarely caught by anglers, but are quite common throughout Ohio. Fishing is a favorite pastime of many Ohioans and one of the most enduring family traditions. A first fish or day shared on the water are memories that last a lifetime. It is our sincere hope that the information in this guide will contribute significantly to your fishing experiences and understanding of Ohio’s fishes. Good Fishing! The ODNR Division of Wildlife manages the fisheries of more than 160,000 acres of inland water, 7,000 miles of streams, and 2.25 million acres of Lake Erie.

  • The Behavior and Habits

    The Behavior and Habits

    THE BEHAVIOR AND HABITS of LARGEMOUTH BASS By William K. Johnke Published by Dorbil Publishing Co. Uniondale, NY October 1995, First Edition Copyright (c) 1995 by W.K.Johnke All rights reserved ***I N T R O D U C T I O N *** The Largemouth Bass is America's all­out favorite game fish ! It is probably the most glamorous species in the fresh waters of the world today. The largemouth is fundamentally a lake fish, and that is where it colonizes best. It is not a scavenger, it is strictly predaceous! It is not fussy about food. "If it moves, eat it!" is a kind of motto of the species. Passionate pleasures are derived from the enticing and ensnaring this voracious largemouth bass. Enticing a bass to accept a lure is pleasure in itself, but finding where such bass may be at any given time is the greatest challenge of all! In order to assist finicky fishermen to become more successful at catching bass, an in­depth scrutiny of highly regarded and well known literature on bass and bass angling was undertaken. The ensuing outline of bass behavior traits summarizes the noteworthy factors pertaining to this fish. Giving serious thought to and applying the factors outlined herein should lead to a better understanding and appreciation of its life cycle, its behavioral patterns, and how best to entice it to strike. We bass fishermen today are fortunate that our predecessors in their wisdom saw fit to introduce this species of fish into waters far beyond its natural habitat. Largemouth bass are now to be found extensively in "warm" freshwaters around the world.

    Physiological Impacts of Catch-And-Release Angling Practices on Largemouth Bass and Smallmouth Bass

COOKE1 Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Sciences, University of Illinois and Center for Aquatic Ecology, Illinois Natural History Survey, 607 East Peabody Drive, Champaign, Illinois 61820, USA JASON F.

WAHL Kaskaskia Biological Station, Center for Aquatic Ecology, Illinois Natural History Survey, RR #1, Post Office Box 157, Sullivan, Illinois 61951, USA DAVID P. P HILIPP Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Sciences, University of Illinois and Center for Aquatic Ecology, Illinois Natural History Survey, 607 East Peabody Drive, Champaign, Illinois 61820, USA Abstract.—We conducted a series of experiments to assess the real-time physiological and behavioral responses of largemouth bass Micropterus salmoides and smallmouth bass M. dolomieu to different angling related stressors and then monitored their recovery using both cardiac output devices and locomotory activity telemetry. We also review our current understanding of the effects of catch-and-release angling on black bass and provide direction for future research. Collectively our data suggest that all angling elicits a stress response, however, the magnitude of this response is determined by the degree of exhaustion and varies with water temperature. Our results also suggest that air exposure, especially following exhaustive exercise, places an additional stress on fish that increases the time needed for recovery and likely the probability of death. Simulated tournament conditions revealed that metabolic rates of captured fish increase with live-well densities greater than one individual, placing a greater demand on live-well oxygen conditions.

  • Recreational Carp Fishing Gains Popularity Long Considered a Trash Fish, Carp Are Starting to Get More Respect in the U.S

    Recreational Carp Fishing Gains Popularity Long Considered a Trash Fish, Carp Are Starting to Get More Respect in the U.S

    Recreational Carp Fishing Gains Popularity Long considered a trash fish, carp are starting to get more respect in the U.S. November 2020 by Lauren Brown The common carp doesn’t have the best reputation in North America. In Harney County specifically, carp are considered an invasive species that populate Malheur Lake and are partially responsible for the murky state of the water. In fact, a Carp Derby and Carp Round-Ups are held annually to lessen the carp population to help rehabilitate the lake. The Harney Basin Wetlands Collaborative, a collaborative of High Desert Partnership, has studied the impact of carp on the lake and is looking at different ways to mitigate their impact on the water and surrounding ecosystem. Because they are non-native, often considered to be invasive and not aesthetically beautiful with their large scales, carp are not usually sought after by anglers. However, that idea is being challenged in some circles. Catching carp with a fly Brian O’Keefe, a professional fly fisherman who lives in Vale, has noted a distinct shift in the way carp are viewed in the fly fishing community. “The reason why there has been an uptick in popularity for fly fishing for carp is because they’re very, very hard to catch,” he said. “It’s not a real predator. It is not going to be like a bass that just attacks a lure or a fly. It generally just ignores them. Occasionally, you make a perfect cast and your fly sinks right down near them and they see it and they swim over and eat it.
