How do you gut a fish?

When you catch your fish, first descale it by scratching away at the scales from the tail towards the head.

When it has been descaled, put the knife, point first, about half way along the fishes belly, normally just behind the fin on its belly.

Put the knife into the fish and make a slit about 5 inches long. Then using your finger, remove the guts and wash the fish. It is now ready to cook and eat.

Can you use a freshwater fishing rod to fish in the ocean?

You can but the main problem you will face is the overall strength of the rod. For off shore ocean fishing most of the time you have no idea what you are going to catch, so if a big fish comes you probably will not be able to land it. I have fished with a fresh water rod before in the ocean and I can be frustrating, but if you don't want to spend money on a completely new rod go for it.

What is the fishing capital of the United States?

Florida is the "Fishing Capital of the World" (see related link) because of its great resources and responsible management. The diversity of sport fishes, habitats, great weather, year-round fishing and superb tourism and fishing industry-related infrastructure are unsurpassed. Quality fisheries throughout Florida comprise more than 7,700 lakes, 10,550 miles of rivers and 2,276 miles of tidal shoreline. With those waters teeming with fish, anglers are always within reach of a place to "wet a line."

The existing "Fishing Capital of the World" title is based on the number of anglers, amount of time spent fishing, economic impact and tourists who utilize our resources. The most recent National Survey of Fishing, Hunting and Wildlife-Associated Recreation, again ranked Florida No. 1 in in-state anglers (2.8 million vs. No. 2 Texas with 2.5 million), angler expenditures in State ($4.4 billion vs. No. 2 Texas with $3.4 billion), angler-supported jobs (75,068 vs. No. 2 Texas with 59,938), and state and local taxes generated by sport fishing ($440 million vs. No. 2 Texas with $392 million). In addition, Florida has far more International Game Fish Association (IGFA) records than any other state or country (Florida has 4,755 the second highest state is Alaska with 1,354. There are 25,652 listed worldwide--the US has 13,534 and Australia is second as a nation with 1,530).

Kittanning, PA has also been suggested as a contender for the title as has Islamorada, FL.

When is the best time to go fishing in a river or lake?

Well it all depends. I line in Minnesota. The only time I dont fish is the period between "soft water fishing" and "ice fishing" and visa versa. The fishing can be "better" at different times of the year, but you can usually atleast catch a few fish on each trip. Prime times can be early spring when they are spawning, late fall, and early and late ice. It also epends on the species you are targeting. As far as actual "time" I prefer early morning, an hour before sunrise til 2-3 hours after can be great, as well as late evening, an hour before til a few hours after sunset are the main times I focus on depending on the species I am targeting. I use those methods when fishing for walleye and crappie. If I am pike or sunfish fishing I target tham all day long, as pike are roamers and sunfish are the easiest to find. Hope this answers some of your questions.

What is the best fishing hook for catching Bass?

The best fishing hook all depends on what type of bass fishing your doing. For bait fishing you need to look at the bait your using. For worms (nightcrawler/dillies) you shuold use a baitholder offset hook in a size 6 or8. if your using minnows your best bet would be anaberdeen light-wire hook in a size 6 or 8 again, depending on the size of the bait. Now fishing soft plastics you have a whole different story your best bet would be to go to a local fishing tackle shop (not Walmart you need to talk to someone who knows what their talking about). But here are a few hooks to consider. For fishing plastic worms/lizards: 4 inch worm 1/0-2/0 offset, 6/7 inch 3/0-4/0 offset, 10 inch 5/0 offset. Hope this helps.

Where could one purchase a Mitchell fishing reel?

they are pretty rare, you would be doing well if you purchased one for under £100....

Not too sure I'd class them as rare ... they were a mass produced reel, made from 1968 until 1975 .. more than 270, 000 of them!

http://www.mitchellreels.net/index.php?option=com_easygallery&act=categories&cid=463&Itemid=72

They can usually be picked up very easily via eBay etc. You MAY pay well for a mint, unused, boxed reel, though this would still be under £100 .. typically a model in good condition will sell for £30 - £50 depending on quality: a collector (rather than an angler) may pay more for something that is pristine.
