  • Xps Supercarbon Hooks
    HOOKS & PRE TIED RIGS XPS SUPERCARBON HOOKS Extra Performance Series is the name of Trabucco quality ho- oks developed for top match anglers, which now gets much wider also touching different segments such as feeder fishing, commercial carping, trout fishing, light drifting and beach ledgering. In line with existing series, also the new ones display “extra performance”, because the extreme quality is not only achieved with the development of new shapes, but also through the em- ployed materials, the finish and functional details. The strength/ lightness ratio has been tailored size by size, taking advantage of the special hi-carbon content steel, which is only available in Japan, where these fantastic hooks are produced under strict quality control. All points are chemically sharpened, then further finished by laser to get absolute perfection and durability. 5($/6,=(( 120 XN N Nickel Regular This pattern is well known all over Europe since when the carbon content steel was unknown in the fishing tackle industry. From roach to mullets, from eels to soles, it has caught so many species both in fresh and salt waters, showing great efficiency when baited up and while removed from fish mouth. It’s popularity is certainly also due to the long point, parallel to shank, and to the narrow ankle which provide bait and fish hold. All bait which are normally pushed on to the shank are finely matching it: from pinkies and squatts to earthworms in freshwater; from enchovy fillet to shrimp’s tail in the saltwater. &RGH 6L]H :LUH 3FV%DJ 121 XB BR Bronzed Forged MicroBarb Its code recalls the classic 120, as its shape comes from long shank popularity, but its strength is stepped up.

  • The Swimfeeder
    Springtime Lake Fishing Pole v Swimfeeder Pat Mills and Trevor Burgess Introduction Spring is a season of change, particularly with regard to the feeding behaviors of our most common fish species. Typically, most fish will spend the winter, as well as the early part of Spring, in the deeper water of lakes and ponds (see Catching in the Cold), as frigid nights, often coupled with bitter winds, significantly chill the surface and shallows during this time. As a consequence, intrepid bank anglers often need only cast their baits and/or lures further from shore during the cooler months in order to ensure they are presenting a bait within the vicinity of their chosen quarry. In contrast, the arrival of Spring heralds the onset of longer days and milder temperatures. Thus, during the springtime period lakes and ponds will ‘turn over’, with the surface layers and margins warming significantly during the day. This effect occurs because the day time air temperature surpasses the water temperature; while, during sunny periods, direct sunlight will also significantly augment this process. As a consequence, fish will migrate from cooler deeper water to warmer shallow water at this time; while also, because of their now increased metabolisms, will begin to feed more avidly. This is truly a great time to be at the water for bank anglers, as the fish now have increased appetites and can be found within easy casting distance of the shore! Indeed, my personal favorite time of year to fish is in May (the pre-spawn period), as most fish have entered the margins by this time and are feeding well.

  • Float Fishing for River Carp by Paul Almanza
    Float Fishing for River Carp by Paul Almanza Float fishing for carp has become increasingly popular over the last few years. By using the same delicate floats and light lines that are designed for targeting river steelhead, many float fishermen are having phenomenal suc- cess on bruiser carp throughout the summer months. Carp might lack the amazing speed and acrobatics show of steelhead, but they certainly make up for it in size and power. Using the techniques and gear featured in this article we have produced upwards of forty carp in a single day, including several monsters in the thirty pound class and plenty of twenties. The single biggest carp we’ve landed on float fishing gear topped the scales at forty four pounds - and, of course, we’ve lost a few that were undoubtedly bigger. The keys to successful float fishing for carp in rivers include: (1) choosing a productive venue (2) preparing groundbait (chum) (3) chumming effectively (4) using the proper float setup (5) drifting the float correctly (6) landing the fish Selecting the Venue When selecting your venue, it is essential to do some research ahead of time. More than likely you’ve already seen carp cruising along weed lines, jumping below dams or lurking in deeper pools of meandering rivers. Go back to those places and look for structural elements that will concentrate carp within or close to those areas. Hot spots in rivers tend to be the top end of large pools, the river mouth, around feeder creeks and along the edges of large slow eddies.

  • Recreational Fisheriesfisheries
    ISSN 1020-5292 FAO TECHNICAL GUIDELINES FOR RESPONSIBLE FISHERIES 13 RECREATIONALRECREATIONAL FISHERIESFISHERIES These Technical Guidelines for Responsible Fisheries are focused on recreational fisheries and describe strategies to promote environmentally sustainable and socially responsible management of such fisheries. To this end, the document details policy, management and behavioural recommendations for sustainable recreational fisheries that are an increasingly important component of global fisheries. Specifically, the Guidelines translate the relevant provisions of the FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries into specific advice for recreational fisheries. The concept of aquatic stewardship is introduced as an overarching ethical framework needed to achieve ecologically sustainable recreational fisheries on a global scale. Within this normative mindset, the adaptive management philosophy based on quantifiable and transparent objectives and continuous learning and feedback loops is proposed along with the acknowledgement of principles such as the ecosystem approach and the precautionary approach. Adherence to the guidelines and recommendations presented in this document will enable policy-makers, managers and the entire recreational fisheries sector to orient recreational fisheries towards maintaining or achieving sustainability.

These competitions can gather more than 100 anglers biomanipulation, aiming to catch the maximum fish weight. Groundbaiting and catch-and- eutrophication, release angling are two common practices for anglers in competition. In fish this study, the loads of nutrients from commercial groundbait powders management, used in angling competitions in the Maranhão reservoir and the possible groundbait balance out of those nutrients through a moderate biomanipulation of the fish biomass caught in competitions were analysed. In order to achieve this aim, chemical analyses to groundbait powders most purchased by Portuguese anglers and to fish species most captured in competitions were made. Mass balances on inputs and outputs of nutrients considering some biomanipulation scenarios were evaluated. Results demonstrated that an effective management on angling competitions implementing a moderate biomanipulation of fish in reservoirs could promote the control of fish fauna and eutrophication, balancing out nutrients from angling.
