What mass of lead is required to make a 1 cm cubed fishing sinker?
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?
a regular car battery, a couple of strands of insulated wire, and two metal, small diameter stakes or large nails. use one wire and nail to each battery post, stick the nails in the ground a few feet apart and touch the wires to the posts. p.s. if the dirt is dry on the surface the worms will be too deep. wet the ground a couple days in advance, but do not saturate the dirt. night crawlers like damp soil, not mud. (alternate plan; safer, less tools required.- take a very large wood rasp (or file) the bigger the better, stick one end in the ground about two or three inches and hold the other end firmly in one hand. with your other hand, take a metal rod or (i prefer) a lug wrench (a single, not a 4-way) and rub it up and down the rasp very quickly with moderate pressure. i swear this works. maybe its the vibration. not sure. old timers back home taught me this when i was a kid. the old timers said the worms thought it was thunder before a big rain and wanted to get on the surface before they drowned!!! but it works, that's a promise. but, same as before..... if the ground is very dry, it won't work. the dryer the ground is, the deeper down the crawlers go. then nothing but a shovel will get them out. good luck.

Who found The Grand Banks fishing area?
The Grand Banks fishing area was discovered by John Cabot in 1497 while he was exploring the North Atlantic for England.
Fish hooks were first invented by Cro-Magnons, earliest farners and, I dare to say, most civilized homo spaiens sapiens, not counted by comparing us, modern humans. The first hooks were made of bone, which worked OK but not so well, and then ivory for hooks were made. Much later, they were improved by modern humans, using metal and who-knows-what-else.
What does it mean when a fish rolls on a fly?
When it is said that a fish rolls on a fly, what is meant is that a fish has risen from lower down in the water to investigate your fly, perhaps with the intention of eating it, or simply out of curiosity. For some reason, the fish decides not to eat it, and either turns away from the fly (close to the surface) or it may even 'hit' the fly without taking it into it's mouth. Either way, it will cause disruption of the water around the fly (a 'boil'). This is termed 'rolling on a fly!'

What is the longest northern pike?

How long does a brown trout live?
Depends when was born and if it lives in Bishop Creek - if so the Brown will be wrapped in bacon and on my breakfast skillet in early October.
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.

Where can one purchase Walleye ice fishing lures?
Fishing lures can be purchased from fishing stores. They can also be purchased online. But for the most part, fishing lures are available at stores where fishing material is sold.
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?
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.

What makes the grand banks an ideal fishing ground?
The Grand Banks, located off the coast of Newfoundland, are considered an ideal fishing ground due to their nutrient-rich waters, which are a result of the mixing of warm Gulf Stream currents with cold Labrador currents. This unique interaction fosters abundant phytoplankton growth, attracting a diverse array of fish species, including cod, haddock, and flounder. Additionally, the relatively shallow depths of the banks create suitable habitats for these fish, making them accessible to fishing fleets. The combination of these factors has historically made the Grand Banks one of the most productive fishing areas in the world.
Up yours.
Literally. Rainbow trout in the larval form are commonly found in the digestive tract of the human body, and some larger mammals. Though harmless, if not excreted within 48 hours of consumption, the body fluids react with their skin giving them barbed scales which will rend your body from the inside out, thus ruining you for all the other women/men, depending on whether you roll with the rainbow.
