The Effects of Solunar Forces on Bass Fishing |
|
Effects of the moon on fishing is one of those subjects that continually arises when anglers gather to discuss factors for successful fishing. It springs even more to the forefront during spring, when many rely on moon phase and daily tables to plan trips, believing that the spawning peaks of various gamefish, including black bass, are closely linked, or even controlled by the status and position of the moon. On the other hand, other equally knowledgeable anglers scoff at the notion, based on their own experiences and the lack of formal scientific verification of such linkages. Check out this recent article on the subject from In-Fisherman here.

How Many Calories Do You Burn While Fishing? |
|
The average person will burn between 150 to 550 calories per hour fishing. Lighter intensity fishing such as fishing from a boat will burn fewer calories, and more fishing in a stream with waders will burn more calories.
The number of calories burned fishing will depend on your weight and the intensity of the fishing. A 200-pound person burns 191 calories per hour fishing from a boat, 382 calories per hour catching fish with their hands, and 573 fishing in a river with waders. A 150-pound person burns 143, 286, and 430 calories per hour doing the same tasks. See how many calories you might burn on your next fishing trip by utilizing this free calculator.

What is your preferred spool size to buy line?
|
|
A recent survey of experienced anglers found that 70% of the anglers asked preferred to buy their line in 400yd or larger spools. Why do so many anglers like to buy lines in this matter? There are three main reasons why anglers choose bulk spools, that we will outline below.
- Save money. The best reason to buy your favorite lines in bulk spools is to save money. Less packaging and more line on a spool provide anglers with greater value when utilizing bulk spools. Anglers in general can, save 20% and more when purchasing in bulk.
- Bulk spools offer anglers more efficiency for spooling and line management. If you have a favorite line size or line product, it makes sense to have more of that line on hand for repeated use. If 12lb FC Sniper is a go to for you, buying in a 660yd or 1200yd bulk spool ensures you have plenty on hand. If you have to fill multiple reels you can quickly fill all of them and only have to work from one spool, rather than having to manage multiple spools. It is also easier to see how much line you have remaining on a bulk spool.
- A third reason to utilize bulk spools in your favorite lb tests is to reduce the amount of line you might waste. If you can fill three reels from a 200yd spool, you will often be left with 10-30 yards of line left on the reel, which is not enough to fill another reel. These remaining amounts do work great for leader material or pre-tied rigs like Carolina rigs. By using fewer spools to fill your reels you end up with less waste left on each individual spool.
