How to get good fishing information when you are out of state?
I have some friends fishing in the Outter Banks this week and my advice to check with some local bait & tackle shops to find out what’s happening in the area isn’t working. My friends let it be known that they are down on vacation and would like to purchase whatever is currently working. I’d like to know, how do you get your information in this kind of situation?
You can never, or very rarely anyway, trust the local bait shops as they will always be more interested in peddling their overstocked bait, rather than whether or not you catch a fish, I have worked in a few of these shops, and it’s one of the first things you are told, confuse the tourists. If the fish are taking mackeral at the east end, send them to the west end with squid, unfortunately, it’s general practice these days.
The best way that I’ve found to get out of town fishing reports is to research the charter boats, as they will flaunt their catches in order to attract custumers, an age old trick, but it still works very well. If your buddies have a boat you could even talk to the local captains at the docks, and some of them will accept a minimal fee to allow you to follow them out to their spots. Some folks will try to do this without any offering, and believe me, they are onto this and will lead you to baron ground, it’s well worth the 40 or 50 bucks if your not familiar with the area. Here’s a site that will list most of the charter boats on the planet, as I don’t know where you are, and there are a lot of outer banks……………………………………………..
Are You Ready To Fish Halibut Alaska Style?
Cook Inlet halibut are a delicious choice to fish for. Alaska salmon fishing means salt water fishing the salt water for Pacific halibut and neighboring Cook Inlet which are home to the finest Alaska halibut fishing in all of the world. The season runs season runs strong from May through September. The Kenai salmon fishing trips depart from Ninilchik or Anchor Point, which is a little further south on the Sterling highway. Both launch sites offer much of the same fishing grounds, the beautiful icy blue waters of the Cook Inlet. You will be surrounded by the Alaska range on one side and the Kenai mountains on the other. In addition to Kenai salmon fishing, the volcanoes are perfect during clear days.
Most halibut boats are coast guard regulated which allow up to 6 passengers. The boats provide a comfortable warm cabin equipped with a head. And a large back deck where all the action takes place. Rubber boots and rain gear are a good idea for these trips.
The Cook Inlet halibut average from 20 to 50 pounds. The fishery is a strong one, which of course will produce those 100 pounds + monsters you always hear about. The limit is two halibut per person per day. The trip lasts between 6 to 8 hours, depending on the tides and weather. Most likely there will be high tides, although occasionally those low tides offer some good angling.
Alaska fishing guides are common throughout Alaska. For those who travel to Alaska for sport fishing a guide could really come in handy. Most guides are experienced and great fisherman themselves and know the local area like the back of their hands. They are up on current conditions and know where the fish are right at the moment. Whether you are planning for a first time Alaskan experience with Cook Inlet halibut fishing or for sportfishing, make sure to book lodging soon- May is just around the corner!

Keeping Discus Fish & Breeding Discus Fish
The last few years have seen more and more being written about keeping discus fish than most other fish species. Anyone who is thinking about keeping discus fish in their home aquarium should of course get all the information they need before actually buying any of them. They are thought of as royal fish, they are native to the warm and calm Amazon waters that charm through their behavior. Keeping discus fish does require a bit of knowledge on their background, about what to offer to make such pets happy and also what to expect from them. Discus fish are considered fish of changing habits that manifest personality.
When first keeping discus fish you will find that they are shy and very calm in general, but when they start making couples they can often become a little bit aggressive due to breeding territory protection. Keeping discus fish will bring lots of rewards but it will also give you a few challenges as well. First off, as you will see with most groups of any type of fish, within a group it is not uncommon that the weakest discus will get bullied; this is something that can unfortunately result in death. Keeping discus fish in groups in a minimum of six individuals is thought of as ideal. By doing this you will increase the confidence of the group members and you lower the risk of group misbehavior.
When you are keeping discus fish, you will have to respect their habits. For example mating are matters of their own personal choice do not try to force two together. Therefore if you do plan to breed your discus as said you cannot match make and expect them to breed, you will have to let them choose their own partner. When you are keeping discus fish that are about to go through the breeding process it is always best to separate them into a different tank specially prepared for the purpose. If you are keeping discus fish that are about to breed together with the rest of your aquatic pets, you will run the risk of having some violent behavior due to the territorial claims of the breeding pair. Discus fish prepare their area that they are going to use to have their babies by cleaning it first and defending it throughout the whole process.
You will find that discus feed their young by secreting food for them from in between their scales. After about a week the fry will be big enough for you to help with the feeding by giving some baby brine shrimp or even just some flaked food will do. When you are certain that the fry have stopped feeding from the parents it will be safe for you to remove them from the tank into their own. Use a separate tank for the fry feed them well to support the accelerated growth rate. If everything has been done correctly they should grow well and at around 12 weeks they should have grown to about the 2 inch diameter mark. At that size you will be able to start to sell your baby discus fish.
