Eagle Sea Finder 500C - Making You A Better Fisherman

The Eagle Sea Finder 500C is a great fish finder. But, why, you may ask, is it a great product for you? Here are some of the features that make this 500C fish finding tool so valuable from anyone that is a beginner to anyone that is a professional. You’ll love it!

First, we start with the display. The 500C offers a five inch, diagonal screen that has 256 colors, active matrix TFT LCD. What does all that translate into?

It provides excellent color and clarity in a five inch screen. That is about an average size screen but it is also a great quality screen as well. So, you’ll see what’s down below fairly easily. It is also high definition which means that the things you do see will be recognizable. With a backlit screen and keypad, you’ll be able to fish day or night (great for those early morning trips on the lake!)

And, you’ll find that it offers a transparency feature with allows for viewing of the sonar graph through the menu displays and overlay features. In other words, you can use it anyway you would like to and get good results.

But, we have to mention some of its other features as well. With a depth level of 1500 feet, and high performance capabilities, this is a great product. It allows for an extra wide angle giving you more to see and therefore allowing for more impressive pictures. You can use this high performance sonar as well as its other abilities to decide where your fish is, to cast perfectly to the location, to lure him in with the bait and of course, to bring that fish on board.

Having the ability to do this, will make you the accomplished fisherman to say the least!

Milwards Split Cane Fishing Rods

Milwards split cane fishing rods information and details on the different models, features and characteristics of these sort-after pieces of fishing tackle. History In modern day fishing tackle, sometimes the advances of science have taken the simple joy out of a lot of fishing. Fly fishing is probably one of the most traditional of modern fishing disciplines, and one of the few where purchasing antique and vintage fishing tackle is a viable alternative to buying new, off-the-shelf gear. The interest in vintage fly fishing equipment, particularly rods and reels, has grown in recent years, and few fly fishing rods are more sort after than the exquisitely crafted Milwards split cane fishing rods. Henry Milward & Sons was a company founded in Redditch, England (just south of Birmingham) during the 18th century, and was most noted for its production of needles. However, one of the later generation Henrys was an avid fly fisher, and so an offshoot of the main company was formed to cater...

Colorado Fly Fishing

It was one of those fishing trips. You know, everyone catches fish but you, you loose six or eight of your most expensive streamers, it rains buckets, and you sink the boat. That’s right; I got skunked at Steamboat Lake over Memorial weekend. I was determined to show those meat huckers (worms and power bait) that a well chosen and strategically placed fly was as effective as anything a conventional fisherman could load on a hook and hang under a bobber. Well, no such luck, I got stomped. The fish were rising like mad on a midge hatch, and I threw everything in the box at them. I could swear I saw a hefty rainbow nudge my fly to the side to eat the natural laying only centimeters from my damn near perfect replica. As we watched the group of 12 year olds add another 18” fish to their stringer (full loaded, I might add) I decided it must be a lake thing. I don’t fish lakes often. I usually have good luck with a streamer in faster moving water, so I head for one on the several tributaries ...

Crickets: The Other Live Bait

Several years ago I got turned on to using live bait. Before that time I had used worms. Yes worms are live bait too, but the world of live bait is much more than a crawler on a hook. Minnows, crawdads, and crickets are also a big part of live bait fishing. I have enjoyed using each type, but crickets were my first venture into the “other-world” of live bait fishing. A good friend of mine, Tom, first showed me how to use crickets when stream fishing for trout. We were Trout fishing the Silver Fork out side of Kyburz, California. The water was running and the scenery outstanding. Our plan was to hop boulders from up above and fish our way down stream. First on the agenda was my introduction to using crickets as bait.  Tom grabbed a black cricket out of the cricket cage and said, “You just run the hook under the collar”. What? Was this cricket wearing a coat or something? I found that just behind the head of the cricket is something that looks like a collar. The trick is to gently guide ...
