So what is your verdict on fish tanks after reading so much about fish tanks? Do you feel that the matter given here is sufficient to make a verdict?
A fish tanks Artilce for Your ViewingFishing To Be Added As Winter Olympic Event In 2010The Winter Olympics....
Once again the fishing world has been ignored.
As I sit watching a spine tingling, heart thumping, always tension packed Olympic Curling event competition, I can't help but wonder why a fishing event has never been represented in the Olympics.
What are they trying to say?
Are they saying that there is no athletic prowess involved when trying to flick a #12 Adams to a 20 inch ring created by the kiss of an 18 inch Rainbow trout!
Is the firing of a high powered rifle after skiing around on a pair of wooden planks any more demanding than fording a riffle packed stream and tossing a chunk of powerbait deftly into the "honeyhole" pocket containing an 8 inch stocker?
I see no difference.
But then I'm an idiot.
Or am I? Let's at least take a look at some future options for the winter Olympics, that can finally give the fisherman his due when it comes to skill and athleticism....
1) What event shows stamina and grit more than ice fishing? I propose a winter Olympic event that is comprised of ice fishing. In this event, contestants will be timed on their ability to saw a hole in 8 to 10 inches of a frozen lake surface, run in sneakers across the frozen ice to a designated staging area where they will grab up a rod, and stool, and sprint back across the ice to the open hole, bait up, and sit for hours in a fierce northern wind. The athlete then will hopefully, eventually catch a fish, pull his fish from the ice hole, drop it in a bucket, and sprint again across the ice, into a 1975 Ford pick- up truck, drive across the finish line to the cheers, flag waving,and cow bell jingling of his fellow countrymen.
More challenges? Perhaps a couple of fellas name Swen and Ole can sit across from the contestant and constantly be throwing a verbal barrage of "You Betcha's" and "Don't ya know's" at the athlete, as he or she agonizingly attempts to coax a fish out of the water.
Talk about grit!!
Of course the Norwegian contingent might not have a problem with this and be at a decided advantage.HOW do you say "you betcha" in Norwegian anyway?
We will all watch as the hole starts to skim over with ice,and the athlete frantically chips away at the hole to keep it ice free.All the while precious time clicks away as the fish only nibbles at the bait.
They can even hold this event indoors at the Olympic Hockey or Figure Skating venues. It might even make the hockey games more interesting with a few holes in the ice, and figure skating?PLEASE... a double axle into a gaping hole in the ice will add more excitement than Tonya Harding and Nancy Kerrigan living in the same trailer park. Or they can leave a few frozen fish on the ice to help add to the Olympic ambiance.
The events could also easily be held as a "two man" competition with one athlete fishing, while the other builds an ice shack.
If the extreme thrill of the Downhill is your cup a tea, imagine if they hold the event on thin melting ice. The now famous runs of Franz Klammer and Hermann Maier will pale in comparison to the crackling of ice beneath the ice fisherman's stool as he scrambles for shore before disappearing into the frigid waters.
Talk about the agony of defeat....
2)Boat Slalom. Never mind the luge, bobsled, or skeleton(which at first glance appear to require the two major athletic skills of courage and alcohol), try standing up in a drift boat while running a classIV rapid with a 40 pound salmon stripping line off of your reel, hell bent for return to the ocean. Yes, athletes in ten layers of clothing including the mandatory flannel outer jacket, will try to stay afoot while "the driver" navigates the boulder choked channel of a stream. Not only are the contestants timed in this event, but style points are given for the degree of difficulty the athlete shows while doing "gunnel grabs", "spins", and the ever popular "aerials". Throw in a number of slalom gates, and you have the making of an event made for television. Fall in or lose your salmon, and it's sorry Charlie--see you in four years.
"OOOHHH, tough break Vern--Elwood has been training all his life for this moment, and to see it all go overboard in one instant is heartbreaking...."
3) No offense to our Canadian friends north of the border, but --CURLING!!! CURLING!! A combination of bowling on ice and a group of shop keepers trying to keep the storefront spiffy.
Gawd, the winters must be awful up there.
Outside of the obvious "sex appeal"of the Olympic Curling
events, the only thing more thrilling would be to watch Dick Cheney go quail hunting.
But, given that there is a place on the podium for chiseled curling athletes, I'm sure we could find a spot for the skilled athleticism of the Winter Fly Tying Team !
This event would obviously be dominated by the American squad, which has trained year round in a meat locker in Detroit. Size #28 midge after miserable size #28 midge, the Americans have relentlessly been training, by tying these little buggers to 8x tippet--in a meat locker kept at 14 degrees below zero.
That's minus 26 celsius for our European competitors.
There at the Olympic Fly Tying arena, in frigid weather, teams of fly tiers will take to the vice, and tie up various flys. We will watch pained expressions and complete intense concentration as athletes try to get their fingers to work in the icy cold. We will hold our breath as they try to get the hackle and dubbing just right. Precious time will tick away as they blow on their hands, and we watch split screen images of just where the Olympic hopefuls lost time along the way.
Of course,in this two day event, athletes will be judged on speed, style,difficulty, and the ability to catch and release fish.
So, here's to the athletes of the XX th Olympiad, and I will see you fishing rod in hand, in Vancouver in 2010.

Chincoteague Virginia Offshore Fishing
The waters off Chincoteague offer a variety of opportunities for offshore fishermen. Spring weather is usually very windy and boats don't often get to fish outside the inlet in the early season. When a calm day presents itself, anglers can catch tautog or sea bass over local shipwrecks and artificial reefs.
By June, monster bluefish arrive and are often present in enormous numbers along the 20 fathom line. This fishing usually amounts to a 25-30 nautical mile trip from the inlet.
Days behind the bluefish are several species of sharks, the most sought after being the mako. Sandbar, tiger, thresher, blue, blacktip, bull, hammerhead and other sharks also begin to appear about this time. Local anglers attract sharks by chumming with ground fish, then using wire leaders baited with whatever bait can be attained. Fresh baits like bluefish, trout, mackerel, bonita, or false albacore are preferred.
By mid-June, tuna often appear off the coast. Bluefin tuna prefer cooler water and usually arrive first. In the early season, bluefin are caught among the vicious bluefish by trolling. By July, many anglers switch tactics and fish for tuna with cut butterfish. About the same time, yellowfin and dolphinfish begin to appear and many anglers troll for them as far out as Washington, Poorman's and Norfolk Canyons. Some of these trips can exceed 70 nautical miles although good fishing is often just 25-30 nautical miles from home.
Late summer usually brings changes to offshore fishing. Better fishing is likely as tuna school up and develop a bigger appetite. Marlin, wahoo and large dolphinfish are also more likely. Another big factor is hurricane season. Some years we enjoy good late season weather and others we wait as systems work off the coast. Patient anglers usually get a few nice days and enjoy good offshore fishing into the fall.
By October, most ocean going anglers turn their attention back to sea bass, flounder and tautog. As the waters cool further, red drum and striped bass or "rockfish" migrate down the coast. By this time offshore fishing has ended and most anglers either retire, or begin fishing inshore for striped bass which goes on throughout the winter months.

Thomas Goes Fishing (Step into Reading)
Thomas often sees his young friends standing by the stream fishing.
It looks like so much fun that Thomas wants to go fishing too. One day, he runs out of steam and his driver fills his boiler from the stream. And soon, Thomas’ boiler is what the driver is fishing in!
In the early 1940s, a loving father crafted a small, blue, wooden engine for his son, Christopher. The stories that this father, the Reverend W Awdry, made up to accompany this wonderful toy were first published in 1945.

The Ancient Fishing Secrets Are Still Here Today
Fishing has been a part of our survival for as long as recorded history and probably much longer. Ancient cave paintings from 10,000 years ago depict fishing along with fish bone remains and animal bone hooks. Even ancient stone anchors are currently being displayed in museums.
Everywhere on this planet, what ever culture, each has its own history in fishing and techniques, most of which are still used today. In fact, almost all ancient cultures have used boats, hooks, nets and spears of some kind.
The ancient Romans used rods and lines, nets and spears. The ancient Greeks used rods and woven baskets and woven cages that stay under water where caught fish are kept alive until they are needed.
Some cultures have been more creative than others and have very interesting techniques such as the night fishing in Japan. It is called cormorant fishing. It requires 7 to 8 cormorant birds that have handlers to train them. Once trained, they go out at night on a long narrow boat that has a long rod in front of it with a hanging basket that is in flames, the birds are each on a leash and are trained to dive down and catch fish, which they are experts in. This technique is still being practiced today and if you are for any reason going to Japan, you may want to sign up to see this phenomenon.
In the Columbian basin, ancient tribal salmon fishers have past down a fishing technique that is still being practiced today. Tribal families for many generations have built wooden scaffolding that is very strong and stable that spans the river. This enables them to drop the nets that capture many salmon at one time. In the smaller rivers of the basin, dip nets are used because you can control them better. These nets historically have been made with hemp twine, sinew and tree pitch. These nets have a long pole attached to them and one stands in the water and scoops up the fish.
In medieval Europe, V shaped structures were built to herd fish into waiting nets.
Some cultures have used poisonous plants to stun fish so that it is easy to catch them. This is a dangerous practice and has been made illegal to fish this way due to the obvious safety issues. One does not want to risk eating a fish that has been poisoned.
Fishing today is not only for survival but is a huge sport all over the world. But when you really look at it, not much has really changed in how we fish. The major difference really is in the advancements made in hooks and nets.
How ever you fish, may the ones you catch be as big as the ones that got away.

Now that you have completed reading this article on fishing gear, we hope that you have found the information on fishing gear that you were searching for.
A Featured fishing gear ArticleBass Fishing - Learn Where To FishFor thousands of bass fishing enthusiasts the excitement of discovering a new location for catching bass can nearly be equivalent to the thrill of snagging a big one. This easy to follow plan will help you locate the perfect location to fish for bass even if you are new to an area or are just learning bass fishing.
Investigate the lake or river.
Whether you're fishing in a competition or just spending a relaxing day fishing in a new area, very little can assist you in finding the correct spots to fish like doing a little investigating. Maps of the fishing area can supply you with a good start. Local or regional bass fishing magazines or websites dedicated to the lake or river you will be fishing in can also help with your initial investigation.
Find an experienced fishing guide.
This input could be invaluable for your success. You can have a bass fishing guide accompany you on your first day of fishing on a new body of water to give you sufficient support for finding the best fishing spots. The guide can also give guidance for the best fishing techniques to use in that water. An experienced fishing guide should also be familiar with the fishing cycles and seasons which affects the fishing patterns in that water.
Even if you are a good bass fisherman, you should still consider the experience and knowledge that an adequate guide can bring you. Your chances for success can increase dramatically if you choose a guide who is very familiar with the fishing spots. Nevertheless, if you cannot locate a guide you might obtain valuable information by visiting the local fishing supply store and asking around. The only problem is the store associates are likely to give the same information to other inquisitive fishermen which may end up crowding the same fishing holes.
If you are preparing for a tournament you will want to have unbiased data since there is the possibility the guide could be in competition with you. It will be important to perform your own research and test the lake before competition day.
Know where to look.
Learning about the fish will help you locate the best fishing spots regardless of whether you are familiar with the water or not. Bass like to stay close to objects rather than stay in open water so you should try angling near rocks, trees or other cover.
Bass fish like to move toward specific areas of the water body depending on the factors like weather, feeding times or breeding. If you can learn their habits it will help you determine what areas are the best and which techniques will provide the best opportunity for catching fish.
Be Flexible.
Investigating the water body, utilizing a guide and understanding bass habits will all assist you in ultimately finding your fish. However, above all else, you should remain flexible. Swapping different lures, weights and areas often if the bass are not biting will supply you with valuable research that will increase with your exposure to this particular type of fishing.
Fish will not all be in the identical location doing the exact thing so be patient. It would be best if you can appreciate the research while you plan for your biggest catch.
