This incredible video caught my eye, to see the different tricks the animal kingdom can use to catch its prey.  It's not that uncommon to find birds using tools to catch their food, just as you can see from crows like this one. Enjoy the video!

Fishing is an art that requires you to take into consideration many different elements.  What is the water like where you're fishing, is it salt or freshwater?  What time of day are you going?  What type of fish are you trying to catch?  What equipment are you using?  All these questions and more can make a huge difference to your results for the day.  If any are

I've decided to put together a series of blog posts that will help teach you exactly how to catch many different kinds of fish, starting with a very popular catching and eating fish, the salmon. About Australian Salmon When you're lucky enough to see a sizeable salmon launching itself out of the ocean, arching its back in a body-shaking attempt to free your hook, it will pump the adrenalin of

As I write this, there's been a lot of coverage in the news about the freezing cold weather in the US - massive amounts of snow dumped on Washington, snowfalls in New York, and now a Dallas snow storm is also brewing. All I can think at the moment is that I'm glad to be in Australia in summertime, where the sun is shining, and the fishing is plentiful! As promised, following is a list of some

A number of fish nibble, others pick-pick-pick, and there are some that simply swallow a bait and swim for it. Knowing when to lift the rod and set the hook will bring you the most success. Should you hang on for two nibbles or three? Should you try to set the hook when the tip of the quill float wiggles, or wait until it is reeled beneath the surface?You could say yes or no to any of these

Summer holidays are perfect for parents to introduce their kids to fishing. It is one of the best ways to bond with your children, as long as your heart is in the right place. The experience of catching a first fish is more memorable than a computer game score. Years later, the youthful anglers will remember who they were with on the day they trapped their first fish.Schooling children how to

Ok, last time I covered sourcing bait for saltwater fish, today is all about sourcing good bait for catching freshwater fish. Combined with the right fishing lures, I'm sure this will help you have a great time catching even the most cunning of fish.Minnow: Small bait traps are ideal in rivers and lakes. Add a little berley (breadcrumbs) in the water and inside the trap.Mudeye: The dragonfly

There is an old saying that if you give a man a fish he can eat for a day, but if you teach him to fish he can eat for a lifetime. The same also holds true that if you take a child fishing he could enjoy it for a day, but if you teach a child to fish he can enjoy it for a lifetime. When was the last time you took your son or daughter fishing and really took the time to teach them the right way to

Recently a friend told me she was going up north for a fishing trip in Jurien Bay, and asked me what the fishing was like up there. This brought to mind an idea to put together a list of some of the best fishing spots in Western Australia to share with you.The remoteness here in WA gives you an excellent chance of catching some great fish when you know where the best spots to find them are, and

One of the most gratifying practices a fisherman can have is to catch a fish using a fishing lure he has created with his own hands.It is not required to be a great craftsman to make your own fishing lures. If they retain the capability to hoop the couple of required tools, they can have glorious lures. The lures might not quite be professionally perfect, but they will catch fish, and that’s all

There are many types of fishing lures, and the best ones are often designed specifically for a particular species of fish to catch.Most fishing lures are manufactured to resemble the prey of the fish in some form, usually created to look like dying, injured, or even fast moving fish. However sometimes they are designed to appeal to the fish’s sense of territory, curiosity or anger.Different fish

Fishing is a very ancient art of hunting, going all the way back in time to the earliest humans in many cultures (the earliest known evidence dates back over 40,000 years!). For thousands of years, people living near the waterways have used this resource to feed themselves, their families, and their villages.The earliest forms of fishing usually would involve spears and a great deal of patience,
