Do children need a license to fish?
Generally, no. And adults are allowed to help them fish without a license, but are nto allowed to fish themselves. However, you should check with your state's department of natural resources to be entirely sure about the regulations. The fines for breaking the rules can cost upwards of a thousand dollars. In some states it is 16 and under need no licence, some 18, some 12. You should check. I'm sure there is a Wal Mart near your home, their sporting goods department can assist you with these questions and sell you licences if you need them.

How do you play deep sea fishing by radica?
you select a lure and location to fish at. you let your line out as far as you want by using the "line out" button. when a fish it caught, it will vibrate. pull back on the controller. reel in like mad at this point, just keep an eye on the tension meter to make sure the line doesn't break. voila, fish caught!
Use spicy Boilies in the winter and and sweet ones in the summer. You can buy them from any good tackle shop £3-£10. Also use cubes of luncheon meat or any tinned or processed meat, pepparami is another good one. Tight lines >)))))'<
How Do you set up your fishing line?
You should thread your line through the holes, put the thread around a hook[tie a knot around it].I usually use hotdogs and nightcrawlers for my fishing. Shrimp, crawdads, and minnows also work.
What are Winchester fishing reels worth?
Fishing rods can cost anywhere from a few dollars to $400.00 depending on your style and personal preference.
They are about any price from which style or type you choose.
How do you restring a fishing reel?
There are two main ways of putting line onto a reel.When filling a multiplier reel it is important that the spool is filled with no line twist.When filling a fixed spool reel it is important that the line goes onto the reel the direction it leaves the edge of the spool.Very modern fixed spool reels have a twist reducing mechanism in the roller.However,it is important that the line is taken off the lip of the spool so that it rotates in the same direction as the rotor.Which everway reel is being used make sure the line that is being put on your reel is under tension. TIP Tie your line to reel , place line through a heavy book and reel the line true to your reel the book will but the line under tension and stop nests in the line.
Do you need a fishing license for catch and release?
It's another way for the government to get their hands on your money. If your were out fishing on your boat, would you want a police boat slaming up on the sides of your boat doing damage, having police comming on board demanding to see your fishing license. If really takes the fun out of the trip. Then the Coast Guard could do the same thing demanding to see your lifejackets. What if it is rough? All of this can be dangerous. the police will kill you
Can you use any rod with a baitcaster?
Glad you asked :D No u can not, u have to buy a casting rod with it. it will have small eyes that look almost the same size. The rod will have a trigger on the back and the handle will be about8 inches. On a spinning the rod has no triggers and has large eyes on the bottom and get smaller at the top. Spin cast (closeface) rods are similar to casing but have a smaller handle. You can either go to Walmart, Bass Pro, or use the Internet to buy one. Hope this helps and good fishing :)
What are common types of Pike lures?
Not including live baits, there are 3 general types of lures used in bass fishing: crankbaits, which are hard plastic or wood, and generally have at least two treble hooks, one hanging from the belly and another from the tail. There are, however, many variations on this. Most have a "lip", that causes the bait to dive. Soft plastics. The typical soft plastic is a worm, but there are lizards, crawfish, helgramites, frogs, even rats. These typically do not come with hooks, but are threaded on to a hook that is already attached to the end of your line. Spinner baits. These have some type of device that rotates, creating flashes of light as well as noise. A "spoon" is kind of like a spinner bait. There are others but this covers the vast majority of lures.
Which country is leading the world in fishing?
what is the danger of over fishing?
... taking species below the level they can restock - so that they die out...
Personally I would say either Russia or Japan with Spain a close 3rd (if we are talking about nations who regularly flout, avoid or just ignore quotas)
Where did sport fishing originate?
One of the pleasures of fishing is that it is a constantly evoling sport.As new tackle and angling techniques are shown to be effective in catching fish,so the fruit of that knowledge are harvested by millions of enthusiasts who are engaged in the pursuit of their underwater qurry.So that is why fishing is a sport.
What is the best pound fishing line to use for bass fishing?
It depends on the type of bass fishing you are doing and the size of the fish you expect to catch. If you are casting lures with few underwater obstructions generally people use 6-10 pound line. If you are flipping and pitching into heavy vegetation you can use up to 50 pound braided line.
What are fishing rods made of?
fishing rods are made of fibreglass and wood
Very few rods are made of fiberglass and almost none are made of wood. You can still get fiberglass rods but for mostly heavy duty fishing like ocean fishing. The only wood rods are hand-made bambo fly rods that cost a fortune. Rods are now made of graphite and other similar composite materials. It is cheap, light, strong and last a long time. Most rods are now made in China.
Who invented the first fishing reel?
"Fishing is the activity of catching fish. It is an ancient practice dating back at least 40,000 years. Since the 16th century fishing vessels have been able to cross oceans in pursuit of fish and since the 19th century it has been possible to use larger vessels and in some cases process the fish on board. Fish are normally caught in the wild. Techniques for catching fish include hand gathering, spearing, netting, angling and trapping.
The term fishing may be applied to catching other aquatic animals such as shellfish, cephalopods, crustaceans, and echinoderms. The term is not usually applied to catching aquatic mammals, such as whales, where the term whaling is more appropriate, or to farmed fish. In addition to providing food, modern fishing is also a recreational sport.
According to FAO statistics, the total number of fishermen and fish farmers is estimated to be 38 million. Fisheries and aquaculture provide direct and indirect employment to over 500 million people. In 2005, the worldwide per capita consumption of fish captured from wild fisheries was 14.4 kilograms, with an additional 7.4 kilograms harvested from fish farms."

Can you use sardines from a can for fishing bait?
I am going to talk about a few different fishing styles and what types of fishing bait works best for each one.
Carp Fishing
Carp fishing is a little bit different then other types of fishing. The kind of fishing bait that works best with carp fishing is luncheon meat. This includes meats such as turkey, spam, ham and other types of meats.
This type of fishing bait has been used a lot in the past but it still works just as good today as it does back then. An alternative that you can use for carp fishing as well is boilies and pellets.
Walleye Fishing
From my own personal experience I have found that spinners tend to work the best when Walleye fishing. These lures work great at getting the fish's attention and hooking one on your line. In addition to spinners, you can try jigs as well.
A deadly combination is to use a jig and put on a minnow as well. This way you have synthetic bait and live bait mixed together on the same line. I have found that this combination tends to work very well at attracting fish.
Trout Fishing
The best way to go about catching trout is to get some sort of synthetic powerbait and strap that onto your hook. These baits work extremely well when equipped with a gang hook.
Live bait also tends to work very well for trout fishing as well. You will probably need to use a combination of the two in order to get the best results.
So there are a few tips that you can try out when trying to figure out what type of fishing bait to use. Each type of fishing requires that you use different kinds of fishing bait so be sure to experiment often.
I would like to add this if you are fishing for sunfish, panfish, or bluegill, shell crackers, red ears. Ham in small pieces would work just fine to catch these fish. This would not be my first choice in baits for these fish. But if I was on my lunch break while fishing and forgot my baits ham should work just fine.
What is the largest fishing industry in the US?
- Don't Litter... take along a trash bag or other receptacle for collecting your trash so that you can deposit it in the proper trash receptacle. Use proper dumping stations instead of tossing refuse into the water.
- Make sure that you use the correct type of bait and fishing gear permitted in that area. There may also be limits on the number, size, and kind of fish that you can keep. Check with your destination ahead of time to see what the local regulations allow. If you use a boat or watercraft when fishing, check to see what kinds of watercraft are allowed at the body of water where you are going to fish.
- Pay attention to local procedures and cautions for cleaning your watercraft after you leave the water so that you don't encourage the spread of npn-native species, such as the Zebra Mussel, to the next body of water you may visit with your boat.
- Don't fish in areas where it is not permitted. These areas have been declared "off limits" to fishing to protect wildlife, vegetation, or for your safety.
What is the best bait for trout fishing?

Does chicken liver work for fishing?
Yes it works great because I went fishing yesterday and I caught 7 fish a couple of bass and one catfish. It was a hell of a time. And I think chicken liver is the best bait to caught fish from ponds and rivers.
