Bow Fishing – How To Enhance Your Skills
Archery fishing is also popularly referred to as “bow fishing,” in which a fisher use a bow and arrows to catch fish.
You can use a usual hunting bow which has a reel attached to it in front of its grip.
Bow fishing is popular among hunters at times when it is not the season for hunting game such as deer. It helps them keep their hunting skills in perfect condition irrespective of the season.
Take the following factors into consideration before you go in for bow fishing.
1. You should have your license to fish. Find out if your state requires you to have a state fishing license.
2. You should have a state-approved set of archery fishing equipment.
3. Your state might require you to take an Archery Safety Course approved by it. This course includes the appropriate safety precautions that are to be taken by you and information on fishing laws that you should know.
4. In many states, you can bow fish only during some seasons. The intention of this rule is to safeguard the fish population by allowing them to spawn.
5. Many states have formulated laws that forbid you to catch certain species of rare fish.
The following list of tips will help you enjoy your bow fishing trip.
1. Tying a knot might sound simple; however, you should be adept at the art of typing knots that don’t slip. This is very important if you want to achieve success with bow fishing.
2. You should tune your bow to ensure that it is in perfect working condition. To tune a bow, you have to repeatedly adjust its rest and calibrate its nock. To tune a bow quickly, simply shoot a usual bow-fishing arrow, minus its tip, into a cardboard target.
3. While there are many similarities between bow hunting and bow fishing, they vary in certain respects. Bow-fishing arrows are heavier than hunting arrows, have larger tips, and have strings attached to them.
There are a number of bow fishing techniques, such as:
Still hunting: The bow fisher sits quietly on the bank of a lake or pool in a serene wood while he waits for a fish to shoot at.
Stalking: You can stalk fish on boat or on foot. Stalking means that you are moving continuously as you try to locate the fish.
Ambush: You can ambush fish that are in a crowd, and fish are usually found in crowds when they are spawning.
In bow fishing, fish are shot when they are in water; so the resistance you get from fish is different from that which you get from the game birds that you shoot in air. And that is the fun of bow fishing.

Walleye Fishing Reels ? Your Walleye Fishing Technique Selects Your Walleye Fishing Tackle
Old School Walleye Fishing Family Secrets
Walleye fishing reels – Walleye Fishing Tackle For Success!
You will be selecting your walleye fishing reels based on what your walleye fishing technique. Anglers who regularly use several fishing techniques during a day of fishing often include in their walleye fishing tackle, three or four combo rod & reel outfits, each set up different with lures or live bait setups.
The following recommendations will help you chose the correct walleye fishing reel to go with your selected walleye fishing rod.
For good sensitivity and casting performance , your reel must balance with your rod. Make sure you match your walleye fishing lure, walleye fishing jig, and walleye fishing live bait weights with the correct line recommendation walleye fishing reel, and walleye fishing rod combination when setting up your walleye fishing rigs. For example, if you attempt to use a reel intended for 12 – to- 20 pound line with a rod designed for 4 to 8 pound test the outfit will be butt-heavy.If to much weight is present on the butt of the rod,casting becomes extremely difficult, and your wrist snap (which propels your lures and bait rigs when casting)will be severely limited. Also being over weight in the butt of your walleye fishing rod will dull the rods sensation when getting a bite. You need to have a great deal of sensation in your rod if you want to catch anything. One of the most important part of your walleye fishing tackle should be a matching rod and reel combinations for all your different walleye fishing techniques.
When selecting a Spinning reel, look for the following features:
#1 A rear Mounted drag.
#2 Make sure the reel has a skirted spool of adequate size to hold at least 100yards of line.
#3 A bail with strong spring tension. If the bail does not close all the way, the line will ride on the bail itself rather than on the roller. When you attempt to set the hook, the bail will open up enough to line come off of the spool. Some of the best spinning reels have a spring on each side of the bail.
#4 A free-turning bail roller. The roller must must turn when the line passes over, If it does not, heat and abrasion will damage the line and may wear a grove in the roller.
#5 Interchangeable spools. These spools snap into the reel, enabling you to quickly change to a different weight of line or type of line, or to replace a half empty spool with afull one.
If you are looking to add more options to your walleye fishing tackle, make sure when you pick a walleye fishing baiting casting reel you take a very close look at the backlash mechanism. The Backlash resistance is the most important feature of a bait casting reel. Bait casting reels are sometimes used as a walleye fishing reel for some fishing techniques, for example when trolling for walleye. The backlash mechanism should be made of a magnetic or centrifugal brake system to make sure you have a good backlash resistance. A high gear ratio is not a requirement for walleye fishing because fast retrieves are seldom needed. A gear ratio of 4:1 is usually adequate. Some bait bait casting reels also come with interchangeable spools.
Although most experienced walleye fisherman frown on spin casting gear, it remains a favorite among many anglers. If you purchase a spin casting reel make sure it has a smooth drag and a reliable line pickup mechanism. Unless the line is taut, the mechanism on a cheap spin cast reel often fails to pick up the line when you turn the handle.
