Carp is a common name for various species of an oily freshwater fish of the family Cyprinidae, a very large group of fish native to Europe and Asia. Some consider all cyprinid fishes carp, and the family Cyprinidae itself is often known as the carp family. In colloquial use, however, carp usually refers only to several larger cyprinid species such as Cyprinus carpio (common carp), Carassius carassius (Crucian carp), Ctenopharyngodon idella (grass carp), Hypophthalmi… More >>

Lake fish have categories that are divided into three general groups: food fish, game fish and bait or forage fish. These classifications of lake fish have already been used for a long time. The kinds of fish that belong to food fish are suckers, carps, yellow perch, some species of catfish and more. In the game fish group, the species included were trout, pickerel, pike perch, pickerel, pike, bass, etc. They were characterized as such because of their sporting value. Bair or forage fish do not offer the same application as game fish; they also have their own recreational and economic value.
The description of proper technique for casting in lake fishing is hard to express by merely using words alone. In order to learn well, one should go to the lakeshore or beach and observe a skilled fisher and try to emulate him or her. Though the techniques of casting are hard to describe, the amateur fishers will still have a delightful experience. Here are some techniques that anglers could take note.
a. Research or study on the habitats of fish and the fish species living in lakes such as mouth black bass and sunfish. These fish species go into hiding in stumps logs, or in water plants.
b. It is necessary for anglers to know how to execute an even, snappy stroke similar to other kinds of fishing. Yet, it should not be as brusque as snapping a whip. This kind of stroke can lead to loss of several flies.
c. In executing both forward cast and backcast, right timing should be taken into consideration.
d. In casting, the anglers should remember that it is not the fly which is cast but the line. The fly is connected to the leader, more like a passenger.
e. In fishing, it is better to use huge, strong rods, especially when the angler had caught a big fish. An example of a big fish that dwells in lakes is the bass which can weigh up to 12 pounds. Bass grow well in ponds or in lakes since they can get abundant food from lakes and ponds.
In order to handle big sizes of fishes, it is ideal to choose a rod with a length of 8.5 feet and a weight of 4 to 4.75 of an ounce.
With these tips and techniques on lake fishing, amateurs will not have a difficult time in learning how to be a skilled angler. Also, he or she has to put patience and effort in order to become a successful angler.

One of the most important aspects of angling is being able to locate the fish. Knowing where they are allows you to introduce ground bait efficiently and place your hook bait where it will most likely catch fish. When fishing for pike it may be better to bring the fish closer to you.
Many pike anglers like distance techniques for pike. They will use extra strong gear not unlike heavy sea fishing beach rods that can cast big weights up to two hundred yards. Radio control floating craft are even used to take the ground bait to a distant hot spot and dump it there!
There is no doubt that this method will catch fish, but it does have the disadvantage of reducing your contact with the fish and your ability to feel or notice a take. Deep hooking a pike down its throat is most likely to happen when control over the end rig is least, as with long distance fishing. Deep throat hooked fish can starve to death, as the hooks and wire trace cannot be removed without damaging the delicate throat and stomach.
Striking a pike’s bite at just the right time is the way to prevent deep hooking down the throat. Control is a lot better when fishing 25 yards away than over 200.
Bringing the pike to you by pre-baiting the swim is also a good method to stimulate feeding response in sluggish pike during the winter months. If you introduce a ball of fish mash into a potential swim the pike will be attracted by the smell. Pungent fish oils can be mixed into the ground bait to increase their allure. The mixture can be made up in the comfort of your kitchen and frozen in soluble PVA bags. These will dissolve in water. This means that when you are ready to go fishing it is a simple and clean process of taking a few frozen ground baits with you. While still frozen they can be thrown into the swim and will slowly melt releasing the smelly oils.
Near fishing for pike means that you can strike immediately you feel the bait has been turned in the pike’s mouth, but before it swallows it. This prevents deep hooking. As you will have been using much lighter tackle you will likely have had a more enjoyable tussle with the pike.
