Float Tube
A float tube, also known as a belly boat or kick boat, is a small, lightweight inflatable fishing craft which anglers use to fish from. They were originally doughnut-shaped boats with an underwater seat in the "hole." Modern designs include a V-shape with pontoons on either side and the seat raised above the water allowing the legs of the angler to be the only part of the body to be submerged. Float tubes are used for many aspects of fishing, such as flyfishing for trout or lure fishing for largemouth bass, and enable the angler to fish areas otherwise not fishable from the bank. Float tubes are either U-, V-shaped, or circular. A standard float tube consists of an inflated bladder inside a sewn cover providing the seat, reserve air compartments, and tackle storage pockets. Many float tube anglers customize their crafts with rod holders, lights, and electronic fish finders. Details The angler generally wears stocking foot chest waders and scuba diving flippers, so the le ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Waders (footwear)
Waders denotes a waterproof boot or overalls extending from the foot to the thigh, the chest or even the neck. They are traditionally made from vulcanised rubber, but available in more modern Polyvinyl chloride, PVC, neoprene and Gore-Tex variants. Waders are generally distinguished from counterpart waterproof boots by shaft height; the hip boot extending to the thigh and the Wellington boot to the knee. For the sake of emphasis, therefore, waders are sometimes defined by the extent of their coverage as thigh waders, chest waders or full-body waders. As a drysuit variant, full-body waders come with leaktight cuffs or gloves fitted to the sleeves and with a leaktight collar or hood fitted to the neck, enabling the wearer to remain dry when standing or walking in deeper water. Waders are available with boots attached or can have attached stocking feet (usually made of the wader material), to wear inside boots, or inside swimfins in the case of float tube fishing.

Boat Types
A boat is a watercraft of a large range of types and sizes, but generally smaller than a ship, which is distinguished by its larger size or capacity, its shape, or its ability to carry boats. Small boats are typically used on inland waterways such as rivers and lakes, or in protected coastal areas. However, some boats (such as whaleboats) were intended for offshore use. In modern naval terms, a boat is a vessel small enough to be carried aboard a ship. Boats vary in proportion and construction methods with their intended purpose, available materials, or local traditions. Canoes have been used since prehistoric times and remain in use throughout the world for transportation, fishing, and sport. Fishing boats vary widely in style partly to match local conditions. Pleasure craft used in recreational boating include ski boats, pontoon boats, and sailboats. House boats may be used for vacationing or long-term residence. Lighters are used to move cargo to and from large ships unab ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Coarse Fishing
Coarse fishing (, ) is a phrase commonly used in United Kingdom, Great Britain and Ireland. It refers to the angling for rough fish, which are fish species considered undesirable as food or game fish. Freshwater game fish are all salmonids, particularly salmon, trout and Salvelinus, char. Generally, coarse fish are freshwater fish that are not salmonids, though there is often disagreement over whether Thymallus, grayling should be classified as a game fish or a coarse fish. Fly fishing is the technique usually used for freshwater game fishing, while other angling techniques are usually used for coarse fishing. The sport of coarse fishing and its techniques are particularly popular in the United Kingdom and mainland Europe, as well as in some former British Commonwealth of Nations, Commonwealth countries and among British expatriates. The distinction between coarse fish and game fish, terms that developed in the United Kingdom in the early 19th century, has no taxonomic basis Bob ...

Bass Fishing
Bass fishing is the recreational fishing activity, typically via rod-based angling, for various North American freshwater game fishes known collectively as '' black bass''.Henshall, James A. (Dr.), ''Book of the Black Bass'', Cincinnati, OH: Robert Clarke & Co. (1881) There are numerous black bass species targeted in North America, including largemouth bass (''Micropterus salmoides''), smallmouth bass (''Micropterus dolomieui''), spotted bass or Kentucky bass (''Micropterus punctulatus''), and Guadalupe bass (''Micropterus treculii''). All black bass species are members of the sunfish family Centrarchidae. Modern bass fishing has evolved into a multibillion-dollar industry. The sport has changed drastically since its beginnings in the late 19th century. From humble beginnings, the black bass has become the most specifically sought-after sport fish in the United States. The sport has driven the development of all manner of fishing gear in the market, including rods, ree ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Personal Flotation Device
A personal flotation device (PFD; also referred to as a life jacket, life preserver, life belt, Mae West, life vest, life saver, cork jacket, buoyancy aid or flotation suit) is a flotation device in the form of a vest or suit that is worn by a user to prevent the wearer from drowning in a body of water. The device will keep the wearer afloat with their head and mouth above the surface – they do not have to swim or Treading water, tread water in order to stay afloat and can even be unconscious. PFDs are commonly worn on small watercraft or other locations where accidental entry into deep water may occur in order to provide immediate support for the wearer should they end up in the water. PFDs are also kept on large vessels for passengers to wear in an emergency in order to help them stay afloat should they be forced to enter the water or accidentally fall Man overboard, overboard during an evacuation. PFDs are commonly worn for swimming and other activities that require an indiv ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Swimfin
Swimfins, swim fins, diving fins, or flippers are finlike accessories worn on the feet, legs or hands and made from rubber, plastic, carbon fiber or combinations of these materials, to aid movement through the water in water sports activities such as swimming, bodyboarding, bodysurfing, float-tube fishing, kneeboarding, riverboarding, scuba diving, snorkeling, spearfishing, underwater hockey, underwater rugby and various other types of underwater diving. Swimfins help the wearer to move through water more efficiently, as human feet are too small and inappropriately shaped to provide much thrust, especially when the wearer is carrying equipment that increases hydrodynamic drag. Very long fins and monofins used by freedivers as a means of underwater propulsion do not require high-frequency leg movement. This improves efficiency and helps to minimize oxygen consumption. Short, stiff-bladed fins are effective for short bursts of acceleration and maneuvering, and are useful fo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Angling
Angling (from Old English ''angol'', meaning "hook") is a fishing technique that uses a fish hook attached to a fishing line to tether individual fish in the mouth. The fishing line is usually manipulated with a fishing rod, although rodless techniques such as handlining also exist. Modern angling rods are usually fitted with a fishing reel that functions as a crank (mechanism), cranking device for storing, retrieving and releasing out the line, although Tenkara fishing and traditional cane pole fishing are two rod-angling methods that do not use any reel. The fish hook itself can be additionally weighted with a denser fishing tackle, tackle called a sinker (fishing), sinker, and is typically dressed with an appetizing bait (luring substance), bait (i.e. hookbait) to attract and entice the fish into swallowing the hook, but sometimes an inedible fake/imitation bait with multiple attached hooks (known as a fishing lure, lure) is used instead of a single hook with edible bait.

Fishfinder
A fishfinder or sounder (Australia) is a sonar instrument used on boats to identify aquatic animals, bathymetry, underwater topography and other objects by detecting reflection (physics), reflected sound wave, pulses of sound energy, usually during fishing activities. A modern fishfinder displays measurements of reflected sound on a display device, graphical display, allowing an operator to interpret information to locate shoaling and schooling, schools of fish, underwater debris and freshwater snag, snags, and the bottom of a body of water. Fishfinder instruments are used both by recreational fishing, recreational and commercial fishing, commercial fishermen, as well as by marine biologists. Modern electronics allow a high degree of integration between the fishfinder system, marine radar, compass and GPS navigation systems. Fathometer Fishfinders were derived from ''fathometer, fathometers'', active sonar instruments used for navigation and safety to determine the depth of water ...

Largemouth Bass
The largemouth bass (''Micropterus nigricans'') is a carnivorous, freshwater fish, freshwater, ray-finned fish in the Centrarchidae (sunfish) family, native to the eastern United States, eastern and central United States, southeastern Canada and northern Mexico. It is known by a variety of regional names, such as the widemouth bass, ''bigmouth bass'', ''black bass'', ''largie'', Potter's fish, Florida bass or ''Florida largemouth'', ''green bass'', bucketmouth bass, ''green trout'', growler, Gilsdorf bass, Oswego bass, LMB, and southern largemouth and northern largemouth. The largemouth bass, as it is known today, was first described by French naturalist Georges Cuvier in 1828. A recent study concluded that the correct scientific name for the Florida bass is ''Micropterus salmoides'', while the largemouth bass is ''Micropterus nigricans''. It is the largest species of the black bass, with a maximum recorded length of and an unofficial weight of . The largemouth bass is the Lis ...
