Do you have a special way to fish with these hooks, if so leave your comments and share them with other fisherman.
Fly rods are a type of rod that are thin, flexible and has fur and feathers tied around its hook. Fly rods are sized according to the type of fish that is being caught, which come in a variety of different sizes. They are made out of composites such as fiberglass, carbon/graphite and graphite/boron. Sea rods are another type of rod designed for huge fish only. The types of sea rods are eel rods, shark rods and marlin rods. They are thick, long rods that are useful for heavy equipment. Spinning rods are the most popular used for fishing in North America. They are made out of graphite or fiberglass composites and they are about five to eight and a half feet long. In addition, there are spinning rods. Spinning rods are mostly used for trolling and still fishing that come along with live bait. For those that like to ice fish, the type of rod they must use are the short spinning rods that are about 24 to 36 inches long. Surf rods are similar to spinning rods that are more over sized, about 10 to 14 feet long. They come in handy for people who like to go shore fishing at the beaches. There are also trolling rods, which are useful for trolling, a fishing method that involves casting bait into the water from a moving boat.
A fish finder is a great asset to have because fish migrate depending on water temperatures and available food sources. A good fish finder can be expensive, but is worth every penny. You might be in one spot all day, and never know that 20 feet away is the school you’re trying to hook into. A set of gloves and a pair of needle-nose pliers are also excellent equipment to bring along. Protecting your hands is very important because some fish have extremely sharp teeth and razor like fins. Gloves make it easier for you to hold on to your catch so it doesn’t wiggle its way out of your grasp and slip back into the water. A portable global positioning system (GPS) is very convenient to have. If you find a good spot you want to remember for the next time, just punch in a few buttons and it will lead you right back to where you were before. It is also a good idea if you are backwoods fishing. If you get lost, you can find your way back to where you started. Just remember to bring extra batteries.
Indian River Inlet is part of the Delaware State Park which is located approximately 15 miles north of Ocean City. The best bait for Tautog is sand fleas or green crab. When fishing for bluefish, trout, and strippers try using buck tails with plastic worms. If you want to try fishing at night, try tossing live eels into the inlet for strippers. The waters of the inlet are very swift, so use a medium to heavy rod and at least 10 to 20 pound test line. South of the Indian River Inlet is a great public fishing site called 3 R’s. It is also part of the Delaware State Park. You can surf fish all day with a mullet rig for a variety of fish such as bluefish, flounder, and strippers. There is a natural drop off that makes it great for surf fishing which is not affected by beach replenishment. If you want to try your hand at catching a king fish, use blood worms on your hook.
 This young man named Patrick was on a picnic with his family one summer day at a beautiful Pennsylvania lake where the swimming was refreshing and the picnic areas were numerous and just as beautiful. We were very fortunate, our picnic area was right along the lake where Patrick and I would visit often to have a Sunday afternoon fishing time together. We would go there after church when his mother would go horseback riding with many friends while Patrick and I would fish different areas around the local territory, but our favorite place was this one lake that was very deep with some very nice fish swimming around within. This particular day we went as a family with his grandfather who was staying with us to have a picnic and enjoy the afternoon spending time together. After having lunch of hot dogs, chips, salads and other yummy items that his mother put together for a healthy lunch we decided to break out the fishing gear while his mother had her book to read. Patrick always like to venture around the lake with his rod and reel in hand, stopping along the way tossing his line in the water trying to always catch something, anything that would make the adventure exciting. After a couple of hours he worked his way back to the picnic area where I was fishing along with his grandfather. I must say at this time that Patrick was never out of my sight at any time. He asked what I was catching which was probably the small ones, Then he went to ask his grandfather the same question but when he approached him he found him sleeping with his line in the water, but unaware to his grandfather his line was moving so Patrick ask what should he do and I said pick up his rod and reel and see what was on the other end. When Patrick finely landed his fish it was a Rainbow Trout. Shortly after landing his catch there was a Park Ranger that walked over to us when he saw him land the big one. He measured the fish which was 24 1/2" which turned out to be a record Rainbow Trout caught at that lake. Patrick a couple weeks later received a Citation in the mail from the State for catching his record Trout.
