How to Catch a Fish … Secrets Revealed!

Posted by vanessa, under Interesting Facts

I am, by no means, great at fishing. I’ve gone out many times, usually with little to nothing to show for it. Therefore, I thought I’d ask the experts, just what IS their secret ?!

Ok, so I posed the question on both GetREELed.com (http://www.getreeled.com/forum/topics/strange-fishing-tips) and Facebook, “what’s the strangest thing you’ve done or used to catch a fish?” as I was curious to know what sort of weird stuff everybody was using (and maybe help myself out next time I get out on the water). I got some really great responses from a ton of people (thanks guys!!), and wanted to share some of the tips, techniques and bait with everyone.

So here goes … I hope everybody is taking notes:

Canned corn = panfish
Cigarette butts = perch (I don’t really recommend this approach due to environmental issues but apparently it did work)
Ketchup = randoms
Chicken fillets = bass and catfish
Chewed bazooka bubblegum = catfish
Chicken liver with Strawberry Koolaid = bluecat
Rolled oats = smelt
Marshmallows, Peas and Chopped weiners = randoms
French fries = tarpon
Cardboard = blowfish

So, that’s it for now. So get out there and try some of these yourself! As they say… There’s never a wrong way to catch a fish!

If you have any other tips, techniques or random bait that you’ve used to reel them in, I’d love to hear them.

Cheers & Happy Fishing everybody!

A Great Article From Miss Rikki…One Of My All Time Favorite Fisherbabes!!

Eat Healthy On Your Trip

By Miss Rikki

What should I take to eat on my fishing trip that will not perish yet be nutritious? This is a question any Fisherbabe has to deal with when they are about to embark on a weeklong journey to a secluded, no grocery store, uncivilized area. Maybe you are not traveling to a remote fishing spot, but are just wondering what would last on the boat. I have had several first-hand experiences dealing with this type of trip. Long hours riding in the car to reach the airport where the float plane and the WEIGHT LIMIT awaits requires foods that don’t need much maintenance and are sturdy.

Here are some suggestions on what to take in each of the 5 food groups:

Vegetables: Carrots (great for the boat!), broccoli, canned veggies such as green beans, grape tomatoes in their containers, english cucumbers

Fruits: Apples, oranges, raisins, grapefruitMeats: Any but they need to be kept cool-there is always fish in the lake if you come up short! Eggs hard-boiled before the trip will last.

Dairy: Unfortunately, no yogurt, cottage cheese or milk for the long hour trips. This can pose a problem for calcium, maybe supplement with calcium-Posture D Calcium at your local pharmacy. Whey protein from the dairy group is also missing. Protein powders are a good choice because they contain both whey protein and calcium in a form that will not perish.

Fats: Peanut butter, any type of nuts

Breads: Bagels-I suggest Western Bagel’s whole grain bagel that has an amazing nutrition label, 18 grams of protein in one bagel! Whole grain breads-Ezekial bread is tasty. Cereals (make note that milk is often unavailable) -Kashi cereals are nutritious and filling, Cinnabon Cinnamon Crunch is a cereal I recently discovered that is not full of sugars, no sodium and is whole grain!

Granola Bars Granola-doesn’t take much since it is high in calories.

Oatmeal – Another good, healthy option that can be made with just water. Remember, you can add any of your favorite fruits to the oatmeal to make it yummy and sweet!!

The food situation is frustrating when you don’t know what you can take and what you can’t. With these tips hopefully you will be on your way to an easy grocery store excursion! Good Luck and Good Eats!
