How is refraction used in Fishing?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Refraction is used in fishing when selecting the appropriate fishing line and hook size to minimize the visibility of the line underwater, making it less likely to be seen by fish. By understanding how light is refracted in water, fishermen can choose fishing lines that are less visible to the fish, increasing their chances of catching a fish.

What mass of lead is required to make a 1 cm cubed fishing sinker?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Answer

The density of Lead is 11.35kg per cubic metre this means that 100cm X 100cm x 100cm = 1 cubic metre so 1000000 cubic cm makes 1 cubic metre 1 cm cubed of lead = 11.35/1000000 =0.00001135 kg 0.01135 grams of lead in 1 cm cubed

EDIT: The density of lead is 11,340kg per cubic metre - not 11.35kgs - Water has a density of 1,000 kgs per cubic metre, lead does not float on water, but it would if a cubic metre of it only had a mass of 11.35kgs!

Otherwise the formula used for the calculation above is correct.

1cm3 of lead has a mass of 11.340g

What equipment is needed to collect nightcrawlers with electric?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

To collect nightcrawlers with electricity, you will need a method called "worm grunting" which involves vibrating the ground to drive the worms to the surface. Equipment needed includes a wooden stake, a metal rod, a hammer, and a tuning fork or other vibrating tool. By driving the metal rod into the ground and vibrating it with the tuning fork, you can attract the nightcrawlers to the surface where they can be easily collected.

What do Northern pike eat?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

well... they eat anything that they can get their mouths on, small fish, leeches, chipmunks (if they fall in the water), frogs, baby otters, birds (all kinds), martins, and basically anything that is meat and is smaller than them, even their own kind.
Big pike generally do not eat small minnows, frogs and bugs. Their main food is Walleyes. The big pike will usually hang out where they can ambush and devour Walleyes. The prime ambush area is points leading into shallower bays. Big pikes are guerilla leaders on their own. They will also hang around rocky points, shoals, islands and other places where there are plenty of Walleyes. The most obvious place to get a big trophy pike is at the mouth of a stream or river gullies between islands. The big pike just sits there quietly, waiting for Walleyes to swim past them.

Northern Pikes are known to be very easy to deal with; it will hit just about any lure. The most popular lures for Pike are the "red & silver" and the yellow "five-of-diamonds" Daredevils. Pike are also known to hit jigs, Rapalas and Thunder sticks. Some of the biggest pike have been caught with small jigs. It makes a perfect sense because the big pike will patrol the outer parameter of the schools of Walleyes.

Pike loves to play with your bait. A big pike has the habit of hitting the lure and bait many times before falling to the bait. So you need to be very patient till you catch that elusive Pike. If you get a big pike on and then lose him in the process, just wait a little while and he will hit again for sure. They are so voracious, that they forget quickly and start to feed again.

Most anglers try to use Dare devils and one very effective way to maximize the attraction of a Daredevil or other spoons is to hard slap them. What you attempt to do is cast towards your target zone but cast up very high so that your lure falls into the area you intend to fish. Jerk your line towards you when the lure is just above 2 to 3 feet above the surface. This makes the lure slap on the surface. If you are doing it perfect, you can hear the Daredevil slap. The sound of spoon will trigger a feeding response. With clear water, the red and silver color lure works best. With muddy or iron-rich, clogged water, a yellow Five-of-Diamonds Daredevil seems to work better. In muddy or iron-rich water, rattle baits are far better as the pike can locate your lure purely by sound.

What colors can walleye see?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Different species have different needs from their vision and may well see (Infra red/Ultraviolet etc?) and other totally different light frequencies from humans. They may also see some colours vividly and other colours as shadows, so their vision works differently from ours because different things are important to them. No doubt they will see whatever colours they need to see for their survival in their natural habitat.

Why is action needed to bring sustainable fishing practices?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Because, managed correctly - with quota systems, and restricting the number of days a boat is allowed to go to sea - fishing is a sustainable industry ! It's only when limits are removed, that boats can catch as much as they like - decimating stocks to a point where there will be no mature adults to perpetuate the species.
