Toss a nightcrawler (worm) on a hook with a sinker and toss it out. let it sit on the bottom and wait for a tap on the line. set the hook and youre good to go. Pretty easy stuff. Thats the most simple rig I can think of. Good luck and let the big ones go!!!

2. While fishing, you get bored and start to swing a sinker weight around in a circle below you on a 0.23 m piece

length of fishing line 0.23 m is hypoteneus of right angelled triangle in vertical plane with base equal to radius 'r' of circle Suppose in the vector triangle of forces, fishing line length Lrepresents tension in the line If height 'h' of triangle represents weight 'mg' of sinker and base 'r' of triangle represents centripetal force F=mv^/r=mr*4*(pi)^2 / T^2 where T is time period =0.60 s mg/h=mr4(pi)^2/rT^2 h=gT^2/4(pi^2)=9.8*0.6*0.6 / 4*9.87= 0.089 m suppose fishing line makes angle O with vertical ,then cosO=h/ L( lenght of line) cosO=0.089/0.23=0.3885 O=67.13 degree Angle O with vertical is 67.13 degree

3. How do I keep a fish alive when fishing from shore, keeping it fresh while I fish during the day?

You could go with a fish stringer or as Brandon pointed out a creel is a good go also. I've got an OLD wicker creel, think she be around 50 years plus (if thats anything at all) and I'll do the same ie., use of leaves, moss, etc.. That along with fresh creek water they'll keep nice and cool. As far as how stringer stays on shore, there's usually a ring at the end of it ~ just put a strong twig through it and push it inta' the ground. Common sense is goin' ta' be a factor, especially if ya' have some nice size fish. Cabela's link below has a real nice stringer if ya' go that way... http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/links/link.jsp;jsessionid=00QBFA3QMDZIWCWQNWQSCNIK0BW0EIWE?id=0042998010313atype=productcmCat=perfrid=0180101070502xpid=k17401cm_ven=Performicscm_cat=Affiliate%2Dclickcm_pla=Nextagcm_ite=DDI%20Linkafsrc=1_requestid=66722

4. What is the best pike fishing technique?

To Sharon: thanks but your answer was just as good. When you visit the link sharon gave you, read her answer. She says you will find them in shallow, weedy bays (5-10 feet) Thats where they are at right now. The hot weather lately has pushed them here. These channels you are talking about should have active pike. Since the there is murky water, go with lures with a lot of flash. When you go to pick a lure make sure you get one with a lot of flash and go by the phrase 'bigger is better'. Pike can and will run with big lure, dont be afraid to through them because they are and you dont think youll catch anything with it Try a large jointed floating rapala, one that is 6-9 inches and is a deep runner.. For some reason, pike are generally attracted more to the jointed rapalas than the not jointed ones. I have found this to be true from expierience. Other things you can try are: -1. trolling with a spinnerbait --2. put a hook through a small bluegill, perch, crappie, or shad on a big bobber and through it along a weedline. ---3. Try spoons ex. red devils. This is probably the mst popular way to catch pike. ----4. Senkos or yum dingers. I have caught many northerns on these while going for bass. -----5. When there are lily pads around or moss on top of water, throw a frog. I perfer a yum buzzfrog. It is an amazing lure. I have tried two colors of these so far and they work wonders. (carolina pumpkin/yellow and watermelon red flake.) I bought mine at meijer so you can get them almost anywhere that sells Yum products. Also buy some Gamagatsu size 4 offset hooks. Make sure the point of the hook is on TOP of the frog not underneath. You can use these any time during the day but at sun up and sun down are the best times due to the low light conditions or when there are lily pads or moss. now to answer all your questions... i think a large jointed floating rapala (deep runner is the best lure) and perch and pike minnows are the best live bait. I would fish the 6-8 feet deep part of the channel if you do end up with a dogfish, move on down the channel a little bit. Dog fish are teritorial so they will try to find a spot away from bass and pike. as for the steel leader, if you are using the large floating rapala, you wont need one. Any of the other lures, using one would be a good idea but NOT nessisary. They do take away action from the lure. You need to decide if you'd rather have more action (which brings in more bites) or less bite but a garentee you wont snap your line. Just a matter of preference. You WILL catch pike either way, though. You'll more likely to cath them without the leader. Good Luck!

5. What is the rationalle for fishing licenses?

You have a good question here and good points Natural resources such as fish are a publicly owned resource. As everyone has a stake in the resource people are licenced to use it. The licencing fees go back and are used to manage the resource so that it will be sustainable. Some of the fees are used at government owned Fish Hatcheries to fund the work that they do to sustain our fishing. Some of the fees are used for developing or fixing fish habitat. The fees are also used to fund Gamewardens as they protect the fishery from misuse. Now you make a good point that people feed themselves with these fish all the time, and thats a valid point. But we all use the resource as it is common property and by having licencing fees it helps to sustain our fishery in the long run, as if we didn't have them it would be depleted as we tend to over harvest it anyway. The fish hatcheries are what really keep it going. Hope this helps

6. What is the best bait to use when fishing in the everglades?

Large shiners. The best fish to fish for would be the Bass. They get pretty big out here and double digit bass is the norm. Use a float or free line them near structure ( Lilly pads, logs, sunken trees, etc.) and hold on tight. I have to tell ya, large shiners are a bit expensive ( depending on area, can run up to 12 bucks a dozen) but worth the money for a memory of a lifetime.~good luck catchin'.

7. What kind of hook works best for fishing cutbait in saltwater inshore?

Try a 'Kahle' or 'Croaker' style hook, it's similar to a circle hook but it has a wider gap. They work great for cut, dead or live bait. good luck! http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10151catalogId=10001langId=-1partNumber=73771hvarTarget=searchcmCat=SearchResults http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_31339_151005003_151000000_151005000_151-5-3

8. Where is the best freshwater fishing in the world?

I have fished in both. Alaska is great and so is Argentina. The Golden Dorado is an awesome fighter. I would really check out Argentina first. It was an amazing experience. Hint go in Oct-Nov. Here are a few websites http://www.golden-dorado.com/ http://www.xclusivexpeditions.com/flash.html

9. What are the best commercial fishing opportunites in Alaska?

As previously stated these jobs are hard to get. If I were looking for a fishing job I would go to where the fishings at. And that is Valdez. There are more boats there than any place I've seen. If you are a Good fisherman can prove your skills you do stand a chance. There are some boats that go out for long periods, months at a time, and the pay is fantastic, if the catch is good. Rent some movies put out by the Discovery Channel to see some of the conditions on the boats, expecially the crab boats. As for the canneries, when I was up there last year the Border Patrol busted about 25 Illegal aliens from Mexico who were working in one paticular cannery. There are jobs galore in and around Anchorage. Diesel techs bring in $35+ per hour as do many skilled trades. Check the local union halls. Alaska has many trades covered by unions. It is a right to work state so you really don't have to be union to work.

10. How get I get started fishing in Boston?

Go to Walmart, K-Mart, or some other discount store and buy a cheap rod and reel set for about $20. I recommend a spinning (open face) reel because they cast a lot better than the close faced kind. My personal favorite brand of inexpensive reel is Shimano. Also get some size 6 hooks, a few small bobbers, and a couple artificial lures. I like Blue Fox spinners best, and use size 2 gold color ones for most of the places I fish for trout. If you want to catch a lot of small fish for fun, get some of the small rubber lures that look like insects and float on the water. Twitch them to make them look like a bug that accidentally got stuck in the water and a fish will hit it, sometimes a bigger fish than you expect. I live in the mountains of Virginia, and have never been to Boston, but according to the city of Boston's website, Jamaica Pond is a good place to fish and is open to the public. It is supposed to have bluegills, bass, and even trout and salmon up to 30 inches long. The website says the water is 65 feet deep, so be careful. If you want to catch some big fish, find a place where the water gets deep close to the shore and cast your size 2 Blue Fox as far out as you can. The first few casts in deep water start retrieving it as soon as it hits the water in case a hungry big fish is close to the surface. Then after a few casts like that, start letting it sink a couple seconds before retrieving it, and gradually let it go deeper before retrieving. Try to count the seconds as it sinks, and if it hits the bottom don't let it sink quite that far next time because it might get stuck on something on the bottom. Lost of times the biggest fish will be near the bottom, so the trick is getting your lure to them without snagging it. If you use bait like worms or minnows, let them slowly sink on their own and don't worry so much about snags. If you are trying for the small fish for fun, put a bobber about 2 feet from the hook and use worms or even a piece of bread you mash on the hook. Ponds are the best place to learn to cast because you don't have to worry about currents. When you get some practice in the still water, go to local rivers. You might be surprized what you get. I love to eat trout, and since trout usually live in clean water they are almost always safe to eat. A few good meals and your fishing will pay for itself and your diet will be healthier too. I have about 50 trout in my freezer now. Remember to get a Massachussets fishing license. Here in Virginia you can get the license online and from most stores that sell fishing equipment. And I almost forgot to wish you luck. We all need it...!

11. What is the best kind of fishing line to for bass fishing with a spinning reel?

I use Stren fishing line. I use 4lbs.test with my ultra light reels and rods, 6lbs.test on my light reels, 8lbs.test on my medium reels and rods, and 12lbs. test on my heavy reels and rods. The only time I use the 12lbs is when fishing heavy brush or stick ups. The lighter the line the harder for fish to see. I have caught 10lbs. bass with 4 lbs.test. When using light line be sure to keep drag low to prevent line breaking and to take your time landing the fish. When using the 12 lbs. test or larger you will want to use a 6lbs.test mono filament leader about 16- 20 inches long. I have been using Stren line since the late 70's. I have tried many of the name brands but came back to Stren because it of less problems. Another thing you will want to do is to keep and eye on your line no matter what brand you use near the lure. If you see any nicks or abrasion or feel any abrasion strip off about 6 feet of line and retie. This is where your apt to have line breakage. I always strip off the last 6 feet when I'm done fishing so the next time I go I'm ready to start fishing. I have fished many different types of water and conditions as well as types of fish with this line.

12. Do you have to get a fishing license to fish in the Philippines?

ohhhh please the philippines are like mexico you can do whatever you want and they won't tell you nothing so go and get one for me

13. What Japanese artificial lures are good presents for American fishing guides?

Lucky Craft is a good one that almost everyone that makes a living fishing in the United States uses. ima is another one that has just become available in the USA. http://www.imalures.com/flit120.php Megabass, Daiwa, Evergreen, Shimano, Imakatsu, any lure from any of those companies that you can get in Japan will be hard if not difficult to get in the United States. I know Lucky Craft has some colors that are not shipped to the USA. A crank bait or top water bait from anyone of those companies I would love to own, or should I say own more of them, so am sure your guide would appreciate them as well. Hope this helps you, and have a wonderful fishing trip.

14. How much will a deep sea fishing trip cost?

$800-$1000 depending on how prestigious the company you are going with and for how long the trip will be. We did deep sea fishing trips in Kona, Hawaii and Costa Rica... For 8 people it was around $2000 for a couple hours so... I'm guessing staying in Florida is mostly likely half that Grouper will be a lot of fun

16. How Long It Takes To Get 99 Fishing From 82 Fishing While Fishing Lobsters In Runescape?

17. When does ice fishing start in Minnesota?

I have seen fishable ice as early as end of Oct, or as late as mid Dec. Usually it is about the end of Nov when we start getting enough ice to walk on with nothing more than a bucket to sit on. It takes at least 4 inches to walk on. This last season I was out there with my shack in early Dec.

18. How do you start fishing in Sacramento?

There's a river flowing right through Sacramento...hit that spot.

19. How do I get my lure deper into the pool for trout fishing?

Try putting more weight on the line, try standing in a different spot. Wade a little deeper? One thing that helps me is don't worry about if the lure is coming back. Cast in there and hope for the best. If you are flyfishing try a full sinking line.Are you fishing the park? If you are try looking in Flyfishers guide to Wyoming by Ken Retallic. Good luck, catch release.

20. How to get good fishing information when you are out of state?

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.....................................................
