I just love fishing with spinnerbaits

I just love fishing. I find that when you can actually see that fish strike your bait with a blast, it is awesome. It really gets my adrenaline flowing and I know there is a great fish fight to be had.

I discovered that my best strikes come when I use a spinner bait. One of the spinner baits that I get the best results with is the Bleeding Bait Mini-King. I get good results with a plain white one, but this 'bleeder' must get the fish's juices all fired up because I get way more hits with this.

The Bleeding Bait Mini-King Features:

• The Bleeding Bait Mini-King is one of the most popular spinnerbaits on the market.
• Includes a red hook and bleeding accent skirt.
• One deadly little fish catching dude.
• Tie one on and catch everything that swims.
• First blade silver colorado - second gold willow.

The last time I checked Amazon still had these in stock. However being one of their best sellers, it could be out of stock at any minute and that means you would have to wait, and waiting sucks. So hurry while they are in stock to increase your take. Click on the box below to get one fast.



See you on the water!

Do not buy this Garmin Fishfinder 400C 4-Inch Waterproof Fishfinder until you read this...

Click on this box to buy one!

I have been looking for a fish finder. The 400 model has a bigger screen. See the 300further down on the page. In overall comparisions, I am leaning to get the 400 just because of the size, but the majority of reviews are favorable toward both of these fish finders.

This Garmin 400C Fish Finder with Dual Beam Transducer combines high performance with a simple interface that makes it easy to locate fish wherever you go. With all the functionality you need in a base system, and a choice of transducers for multiple options depending upon your fishing environment, the 400C is a great entry-level fish finder for anybody who just wants to get out and find fish.

The Garmin 400C fish finder utilizes a crisp, ultra-bright, 4-inch, full-color QVGA display with 320 x 240 pixels of resolution that lets you easily distinguish bottom detail and fish from background structure. This unit features easy, one-touch navigation through different functions via front panel control buttons, as well as UltraScroll for screen updates at live-action speeds. The 400C also features a backlit keypad for easier operation at night, and a new night mode function that provides optimum readability in low-light conditions.

The 400C is designed to be easily adaptable to both freshwater and saltwater conditions, with a choice of dual-beam or dual-frequency transducers. This unit comes with a 500-watt (RMS), dual-frequency transducer with a narrow beam that pierces the depths below your boat down to 1,500 feet. There is also a 400-watt (RMS), dual-beam transducer available that provides you with a wider fish-finding cone for better surrounding visibility down to a depth of 900 feet. Made to be upgradeable and expandable, the Garmin 400C includes built-in CANet connectivity that enables sonar data to be shared with a compatible Garmin chartplotter as part of a larger marine system. This unit weighs 1.5 pounds, and measures just 5.72 x 5 x 2.73 inches (W x H x D) allowing it to be placed virtually anywhere.

What's in the Box
Garmin 400C fish finder, dual frequency transducer, swivel mounting bracket, power and data cable, protective cover and owner's manual.

One person sums it up like this even though it is a discontinued model folks are still buying it:

I had to buy a second one becuase the 1st one went with the boat when it sold and then I purchased the 2nd.
These fish finders work great, amazing clarity. Easy to find menu operations, it also works with my Garmin GPS, which is another added benefit. Screen is visible in all light. I also like to be able to identify the size of fish under the boat, whether it be herring balls or candle fish on the bottom, it's all quite detailed. This also is the first fishfinder that I've owned that has water temperature, as I've learned the fish are particular about shade and water temperature. More fish in the boat because of it.

The affordable Fishfinder 300C color sounder is just right for recreational anglers who fish primarily in freshwater lakes.

See Fish in Bright Color

The 300C has a super bright, high resolution 3.5-inch QVGA color display with improved user interface, plus UltraScroll for screen updates at live-action speeds. The 300C comes with a dual beam transducer, which provides excellent coverage in shallow waters.

Benefit from High Performance Sonar

The 300C features the high performance sonar receiver found in most of the Garmin marine lineup.

Other features:

ower output: 150 watts (RMS) 1200 watts (peak to peak)

Auto Gain setting adjusts sonar sensitivity automatically

See-Thru technology shows weak and strong returns simultaneously

Round flasher display mode

Whiteline shows you how thick the bottom is

2X and 4X automatic and manual zoom

Battery voltage indicator

Single NMEA-0183 output

Many discussions like these units better than the newer 160 model. Again, it is a great way to get more fish in your 'creel'.

Get yours now while they are still in stock. When you have to wait longer when they are out of stock, it sucks.

See you on the water!!!

Bass Fishing in June On The Nashua River

My daughter, my granddaughter, and myself have been out fishing on several local rivers and ponds. Just last week, my daughter landed a good 2 pound largemouth bass out of the Nashua River. She landed a few yellow perch that day too, but they were on the smaller side. Over the past month we have caught mostly sunfish, yellow perch, and largemouth bass with a few smallmouth bass and pickerels tossed in the mix.

I will be out on the water's edge wetting my line. See you there.

Rainy and Wet Fishing

Sometimes I think about why I am out there fishing when it is wet and rainy. I do not mind the rain at all. I do not mind getting wet. I DO mind those darn bugs - mosquitoes and black flies - when they get in and under my clothing in the worst places!

I know it is great for fly fishing if the fish are gobbling those up. I just hate to think about and see all of the bites that I have to itch for a good week more.

The other day I went with my daughter to go fishing along the Nashua River in Groton MA. It was 3 in the afternoon. When we got down by the river, we were attacked by swarms of mosquitoes!!!
Yes, we stuck it out until 7:45, but we were covered in bites from our heads to our toes...my daughter wore sandals. Do not worry she is over 30 and could take care of herself; if she was little, we would have left. I am definitely going to try Off! Clip-On repellent. I will let you know how it works.
