Bass Fishing Sweeping Method
Join me on a little outing where I catch bass in a most unconventional way. I call it ‘Sweeping’ and in this episode of ‘Another Walk with Mike’ you’ll discover how exciting this method can be. I came up with the technique after having bass hit my buzz bait just as I was pulling it out of the water. Finally, after one such strike I pushed my pole back in the water and Bam! A method was born. Similiar to doodlesocking or jigger pole Fishing, sweeping is best done from a kayak. Watch my video and see for yourself. It is as exciting as it can be. Also, enjoy my other wildlife walks and nature tour videos.

How do you replace fishing line on an Abumatic model 120 or model 170 fishing reel?
I have no paperwork for either model that instructs you how to change the fishing line. I’ve seen schematics for the model 170 but no instructions for either model. These are the ‘60-’70’s vintage reels. Thank you.
Have you try to take the top off because there should be a area in there where line suppose to go but if you have any problem you should just go to a local bait and tackle shop and im pretty sure they would help you or they would even ask if you want line on them and they would gladly put Fishing line on your reel for a cheaper price then if you bought a whole 300 YRD line at the store.
What bait is good for surf fishing off the outer banks in north carolina?
I’m going there in like 2 weeks and heard there was good Fishing. I will get a chance to go in the sound and ocean. Also could you specify what baits for what types of fish.
i investigated Outer Banks fishing and they have the same species of fish we have here in Flagler Beach Fl. if your not familiar with fishing saltwater you might want to target Spots & Croaker. Spots and Croaker will give you the most action. if you target bigger game species like Redfish, Sea Trout, Stripers, Bluefish, Flounder you probably won’t get as many hits. But who knows? you might kill’m.
The best bait for surf fishing that area would be dead shrimp. you could also use fresh cut mullet and squid.
you might want to take or buy some half oz Jigs and use either Berkley saltwater Gulp or a Strip bait of mullet. there is tons of info on Outer Bank Fishing do a google search for more info.

What type of fishing line is best for fishing on the shore at a lake?
So my friends and I love to fish. We fish on a river about everyday. We never fished at a lake before so we are going tomorrow to lake michigan. We don’t have much money to get a boat so we are fishing off the shore. The only question I have. What type of Fishing line is best used to catch those big fish in the lake?
The water which you fish really isn’t the issue to consider. Instead, consider what fish you will be going for and what kind of baits you will be using.
If you’re just a casual Bass and Panfish person, stick with a monofilament line in the 6-10 pound range. You can throw about any bait you want to when staying within this limit, except for heavier baits and deep running baits like jigs or deep diving crankbaits.
If you plan on using deep diving/running or heavy baits, you’ll probably want to up the line a bit. Look into the 12 to 14 pound monofilament.
If you’re going for "teethy" fish like Pike or Musky, you’ll want to at least use a braided leader. I absolutely hate braided line, but sometimes it is necessary. Beware of this stuff though. It will really screw up your rod and reel with time if you’re not careful.

Hawaii Fishing Tips
The opportunity to be on a boat ready to catch fish, enjoying the beautiful scenery, and the camaraderie with the crew of the boat is the best experience in Fishing you can find. Here are some helpful tips to enjoy fishing.
1. Choose a boat wisely. A boat that meets your needs and your goal on what to do with the fish you catch are the things to consider when choosing a boat for Hawaii Fishing Trips.
2. Choose the appropriate Island in Hawaii that meets your desired duration of the Fishing trip. For shorter trips, choose an Island in Hawaii that has deep water right near shore. These islands are ideal for shorter trips in fishing where catching fish won’t take long.
3. Consider bringing tackle, bait, ice and fresh water. Confirm with the boat company if they will provide these items. Tackle is a set of pulleys and ropes assembled to facilitate the mechanisms for hoisting and pulling. Bait is for luring the fish. Ice is for keeping the catch fish fresh during the trip. Fresh water is for thirst quencher during the fishing trip.
4. Wear comfortable clothes that are suited for a hot summer day. T-shirts and shorts are the best pair of clothes to wear in fishing. An extra T-shirt will also be useful.
5. Consider bringing a baseball style cap for shading. This is effective in shielding the hot rays of the sun during the fishing trip.
6. Bring polarized sunglasses to see the fish in the water.
7. Closed toe boating shoes are highly recommended to use. They are made for keeping the feet from slipping when action gets good.
8. Bring food and drinks if the boat company won’t provide these items. Cans are better than glass for drinks. Chips like Cheetos and Doritos for snacks seem to go well at sea.
9. Don’t forget to bring medicine for seasickness. To minimize feeling seasick, take an 8-hour sleep before the fishing trip. Being fully awake and active before the boat leaves the dock will help prevent from feeling seasick all through out the fishing trip.
10. Eat a full meal at dinner and a light breakfast before the trip.
11. Don’t forget to bring sunscreen. Sunscreen with SPF of 30 or higher is highly recommended to protect the skin from the harmful UV Rays of the sun.
12. Decide before the trip on how to get at the harbor for the fishing trip in the morning. Either choose to take a cab or rent a car.
Using these tips will go a long way towards having an enjoyable day of fishing.

What is the best summer fishing in Galveston?
I am new to fishing and I was wondering where I should go. I live and would like to fish in the clear lake and galveston area and don’t really know where to begin. I know I can go all the way down to san luis pass but where are some banks/ docks I can fish off of. I don’t have a boat and I’m not huge on the idea of surf Fishing to be quite honest. Spots in clear lake, taylor lake, and the bay would be awesome.
Summer flounder are hanging around Seawolf Park on the channel side with some speckled trout on the sandy banks. Try around Seawolf Park.

Fishing Trip Tips
Fishing can be a relaxing way to spend your weekends. It has been proven that fishing is one of the all-time treasured experiences of thousands of American families. However, any sport has its dangerous side and fishing is no exemption.
Majority of fishing equipment have sharp tools such as metal hooks which may lead to accidents when the fishing environment unexpectedly changes for the worse. Storms, hurricanes, wild currents, and other mishaps, could spoil your fishing trip.
If you are planning to go on a fishing expedition with family or friends, here is a list of urgent situations and what preparations you need to face each scenario.
1) Weather – Before packing up your bags and traveling to you fishing spot, consult or be aware of the weather conditions for the day and the following days. Whether you are fishing on shores or in a boat, you should be cautious of the conditions such as flash floods, storm movements and darkening of the skies. When signals such as extreme lightning strikes, you should head to dry land immediately.
Having a sun-drenched day is not really an “appropriate fishing day.” You should be aware that spending many hours with exposure to the sun could damage your skin. Be prepared by bringing sun block to avoid sunburns. You should be aware of heat sickness symptoms such as nausea, breathing difficulty, lightheadedness, and unable to concentrate on tasks. Prepare a supply of water or liquid beverages to keep hydrated.
2) Sharp fishing equipments – Since fishing includes many sharp tools, you should always be prepared to treat injuries by packing disinfectants such as medicated lotion or spray and hydrogen peroxide. If an incident leads the skin to bleed, you would need bandages, cotton or paper towel. Bring your own first aid kit.
3) Tangles – One of the most common fishing hindrances is wherein your line is caught in anything surrounding your fishing spot such as trees, logs, etc. Try to get your line or fishing rod out of the tangle immediately to avoid the problem that could lead into a major accident. You could either snap off the branches of the tree or carefully and slowly remove your line away from where it is tangled.
4) Bait – When you run out of bait, it could spoil your while fishing trip. Avoid this by splitting up the rest of the bait into halves, quarters or thirds. The worm, even if divided, could still move, so the divided worms could still lure your target fish.
Be prepared to face any scenario to keep your fishing adventure as relaxed as possible. With all these in mind, you could enjoy your fishing trip safely and successfully.
