Planning a Beach Vacation in Mexico

Mexico is home to many of the world's greatest beaches. Beaches like Puerto Vallarta or Cancun are popular among visitors of all ages. So if you are looking for all inclusive vacation packages in Mexico, you are sure to find it in one of their popular beach resorts. If you want your family to enjoy everything that Mexico has to offer, dip your skin into their white and sandy beaches.

Here are a few tips on how you can plan a beach vacation in Mexico:

• The first thing you need to do is convert all your travel funds into Mexican peso if you are planning a vacation to Mexico. Although there are some stores and shops in Mexico that accept US dollars, it is more favorable to use their own currency considering the conversion rates they have.
• Travel light. Leave all your heavy pants and shirts at home. You can bring heavier clothing on both coasts during spring, winter and fall, but not in the summertime.
• Try to look for resorts in Mexico along the central Pacific coast for your beach vacation. There are cities like Mazatlan that offer affordable hotel rates and accommodations like the El Cid Marina Beach Hotel. They are more affordable compared to similar hotels located in the Atlantic coast.
• If you and your family like boating and fishing, travel to the Big California Sur section of Mexico. The city of La Paz has a harbor that houses fishing companies like Tortuga SportFishing. This company offers fishing and diving excursions for vacationers and tourists.
• If the crowd is not to your liking, you can always travel to Tulum along Mexico's Atlantic beach front. You can even learn about the city's rich history and exclusive attractions by going online.
• However, if learning about Mexico's ancient and rich history is in your list, you should plan a trip to Yucatan to learn more about Mexico while enjoying a fun filled beach vacation. There are a lot of travel tours in Mexico that can guide you through Yucatan, like the Illuminado Tours. This is probably the best way to witness the ruins of Uxmal.
• Try to document every souvenir you have purchased during your Mexico beach vacation. This is just to avoid legal troubles when you get home. Mexican officials have increased the enforcement of customs regulations at bus stations and airports because of terrorism concerns.

Carp Fishing Tips - Feature Finding

If you want to do well on a venue you must learn how to find those invisible underwater features such as gravel bars, weed beds and clear areas. Carp use the lake bed to navigate their way around just as we use roads. Hugging gravel bars, following gullies and feeding on plateaus. The more you know about your swim, the more you will catch.

You will need a strong rod with a TC of at least 3lb. There are purpose made Marker rods out there but these can be expensive I use a Fox method master and although it has a 3.5lb TC it is still responsive enough to feel the bottom. You will need a large spooled reel to allow you to cast a lead of at least 2oz. the reel should be loaded with 15lb-20lb braid. braided main line has no stretch which makes it more responsive and will give you a better idea of what the lead is move over.You will also need a marker float set up

Now cast the marker rig out starting from the left hand side of the swim, allow the lead to hit the bottom then with the rod pointing at the point of impact wind down on the reel until you feel a bump, that would be the float hitting the run ring, the float will now be 12ins above the lake bed. Gently pay off line a foot at a time, when the float reaches the surface you will be able to count how deep it is from the line paid out, don't forget to add on 12ins for the run rig and lead. now wind in a couple of feet and repeat the process all the way in to the margins. As you wind in feel how the lead moves along the bottom this will give you an idea of what the lead is moving over. Feels smooth but steady bouncing, that's clay. If it feel like you are pulling through cotton wool, that's silt. If you feel a lot of tugging and suddenly pulling free then that is weed. Clonking and jarring, that's gravel.

Now Cast out again this time a couple of feet to the right and repeat the process. keep doing this all the way to the far right of the swim. You will soon build up a detailed picture of the water in front of you. I like to do a rough sketch of the swim and add in the depths as I go that way I can build up a detailed map of the swim and over time you can even build up a detailed map of the entire lake.

Remember knowing what you are fishing over will determine what rig will work best so the more you know about the water in front of you the more chance you have of outwitting those Carp. Now get out there and get that lake mapped out.

Fishing Boats


Image : http://www.flickr.com


When it comes to fishing there are two sorts that are regularly undertaken, recreational fishing and commercial fishing. As such there is a wide range of types of fishing boats that are used in the fishing process.

When it comes to commercial fishing boats most people will think of trawlers scouring the oceans for fish. Trawlers basically pull a trawl net though the water catching fish in the way. As with most forms of commercial fishing the nets are often considered bad for fishing as they are indiscriminate in the fish caught. Trawlers will either drag their nets along the bottom of the ocean or at a depth dependent on the type of fish being hunted. Normally solo craft some trawlers do work in teams.

The other best known forms of fishing boats are the drifters, these are commercial vessels that send out and take in drift nets. These vessels are the most controversial of fishing boats, as the nest are blamed for the deaths of turtles and dolphins in huge numbers. Drift fishing is now banned in international waters and most national waters only allow limited usage of the nets. There are often limits on the size of the nets, although 2.5km for a net still seems like a huge length for a net.

There are also other forms of boats including Seine fishing boats also known as seiners. These boats operate nets that hang vertically in the water and fish are basically circled into the net. There are also factory ships that operate as fishing boats, these vessels are basically trawlers, seiners, drifters etc that also operate as a factory, processing and freezing their catches of fish.

Most recreational fishing is normally undertaken by the river or lake side, although it is not unknown for fishing boats to also be utilized. Most people would normally associate charter boats with recreational fishing. There is though no common type of charter boat, and depends on the type of fishing being undertaken. In the Caribbean the boats are more like private yachts, whilst in England the vessels are more likely to be traditional fishing vessels.

There are though other smaller forms of recreational fishing boats, including Kayak fishing vessels and pontoon boats. Both of these types of boats are normally for one or two anglers that can fish in areas of lakes and rivers that larger boats cannot get to.

River Fishing Tips - How to Fish Rivers

When someone says "river fishing", what do you think of? Do you tend to think of fishing in a river for salmon or steelhead? Or do you think of fishing in a muddy river for fish like catfish? Or maybe you think of fishing in a crystal clear river for trout or smallmouth bass? We all have our favorite version of "river fishing", and in this article I'm going to provide you with some effective river fishing tips that are best employed while wading and fishing in small rivers.

I learned how to fish rivers effectively more than 20 years ago by my best friends' father, who was a legendary fisherman from central Pennsylvania. This man was a great river fisherman the river fishing tips outlined in this article come directly from things he taught me. If you want to know how to fish rivers effectively, this article is for you.

These tips are effective for almost any fish that swims in the flowing waters of small rivers and streams such as smallmouth bass, trout, whitefish, and even walleye. The tips can also be easily modified for larger fish such as steelhead and salmon.

The first thing to keep in mind when wading and fishing in rivers is that in most cases the water that you're fishing is very clear. This means that the heavier your fishing line is the more visible it is to the fish you're trying to catch. When wading and fishing in rivers you always want to use fishing line that's as light as possible. In other words match your line to the fish you expect to catch. For example, when fishing for trout or smallmouth bass in rivers, I always use four pound test monofilament. The less visible your fishing line is to the fish, the more bites you will receive; it's as simple as that.

When fishing in river, especially while wading, it's important to remember that the bottom is your friend. Whether you are fishing bait or throwing small spinners, spoons, or lures bouncing your offering along the bottom it very effective when river fishing. If you want to know how to fish rivers, remember that the bottom is your friend. And remember that getting snagged is also quite common when fishing in rivers. As my mentor used to say, "If your not getting snagged, you're not fishing in the right place".

Another important river fishing tip is to be as organized as possible. You want to have your fishing gear and bait where it's easily accessible. This means that a fishing vest is a "must have" item. A fishing vest is the most effective way to organize your gear for river fishing while wading. If you like to fish with bait, another great product for fishing while wading is a bait bag. Of all of the river fishing tips in this article this might be the best. Makes using live bait (such as worms) a ton easier. The point is that when wading and fishing in rivers you want to be able to concentrate on the task at hand and being organized helps you accomplish this task.

The tips contained in this article will make you a much more successful river angler if they are put into practice. This is the key to being successful with any type of fishing. Practice. The bottom line is that the more time you can spend on the water practicing your craft, the more successful you will be.

Worm Fishing Tips For Every Angler


Image : http://www.flickr.com


Many anglers fish with live worms, but the problem is they do it in the same manner that they always have. That is simply tying a single hook onto their line, "threading" a live worm onto that hook, and calling it fishing. While this is technically "fishing", there are much more effective ways to accomplish fishing with live worms. In my favorite movie, A River Runs Through It, the reverend McLain is quoted as saying, "Anyone who does not know how to catch a fish, should not be able to disgrace that fish by catching it." He was referring to one of my most maligned forms of fishing, flea flicking, but nonetheless the statement holds true. The quote holds true for all types of fishing, and in my opinion is especially true for live worm fishing.

When fishing with live worms we as anglers need to accomplish two things. 1) presenting the live worm in a natural manner and 2) Being as Efficient as possible while fishing. If we can accomplish these two things worm fishing becomes much more effective than simply digging a worm out of a Styrofoam container, "threading" it onto a hook, and calling it worm fishing. So how do we accomplish the two things mentioned above? We'll just take them one at a time.

1) Presenting a Live Worm Naturally - The only way to present a live worm in a natural manner and still have it be effective is through the use of gang hooks. You see, gang hooks enable the angler to present a live worm in an outstretched manner, the way God intended, rather than "threaded" onto a single hook like some sort of worm ball. Gang Hooks are two small hooks tied in tandem, thus enabling the angler to present their live worm naturally. This method , when coupled with a small barrel swivel and split shot sinkers, is absolutely deadly in the flowing waters of rivers and streams. Presenting your live worms in a natural manner results in many more bites. The bottom line is that gang hooks should be employed when live worm fishing, whether you tie them yourself or buy them ready to fish makes little difference, what's important is that you being using them.

2) Being As Efficient As Possible - Being as efficient as possible when fishing with live worms is important simply because the more time that you spend with your line in the water the better. When you're spending time digging through a Styrofoam container looking for worms to bait up with, you're not being efficient. The way to remedy this problem and become much more efficient is through the use of a bait bag. A Bait Bag is simply a small bag that hangs from your belt, fishing vest, or shirt that carries your live worms. In other words, you buy worms as you normally would, transfer them into the bait bag before going fishing, and leave the container that the worms were purchased in with your vehicle. This way your worms are literally at your fingertips waiting to be used. Using a bait bag enable you to spend more time with your line in the water (where it should be), rather than looking for your worm container.

These worm fishing tips will simply make you a better angler, there's no doubt about it. Just because you've fished with worms one way for what seems like forever, remember there are better and more efficient way of doing it.

12 Tips For Largemouth Bass Fishing

Enjoy fishing for those largemouth bass? Here are some largemouth bass fishing tips that should come in handy the next time you are ready to do a little angling.

(1) Worms or tubes bought in bulk could get smelly, even outside of the bag they're stored in. You should seal these worms in smaller vacuum sealer bags like those you purchase for food storage. Keeps the largemouth bass bait airtight and fresh, so they can be stored anywhere for any length of time.

(2) Fish seem to gain leverage with hard baits such as top waters, jerk baits or crank baits and can easily throw them. One solution to this is to add a split ring, putting it between the ring that is already there and the hook. This reduces the fish's leverage, which puts a greater number of fish in the live well.

(3) Begin a fishing excursion before you ever reach the water. Largemouth fishing tips include formulating a plan. After executing the plan for a few hours, decide how it's working and if it's not go to plan "B".

(4) Are those largemouths not cooperating? Switch to a bait you have confidence in.

(5) Change fishing spots, even if you have a favorite, be sure to try new spots often.

(6) You should also be willing to study a lake map and consider the season and current weather conditions even if you are fishing on a very familiar lake. You may have missed a great fishing spot.

(7) Use a personal computer to discern lake levels, weather forecasts, and wind and wave conditions.

(8) Be willing to change your game plan. Pay attention to your instincts.

(9) Don't get ahead of yourself and set the hook as soon as you see the strike. You need to feel the fish.

(10) When the largemouth short strikes behind top water bait and you don't connect you should not give up. Cast a different bait very quickly.

(11) If you have been using larger lures and you have experienced only a few nonproductive bites it may be time to try something smaller.

(12) Remember to take into consideration the root system when fishing a stump. The root systems may hold more fish than the main part of the stump.

Now that you have these largemouth bass fishing tips, head for the water and bring in a big one.

The Drive By Fishing Report


Image : http://www.flickr.com


For the average fishermen, the urge to go fishing is usually proceeded by the time honored ritual of checking out THE FISHING REPORT.

Most rivers and lakes in traditional "fish bearing" areas, appear to have some sort of guru who compiles daily catch and success rates of the men and women who toil the waters casting and trolling for fish.

In most cases it is a local newspaper columnist OR river guide turned columnist who reports or gathers the information we all crave before investing our precious time into fishy endeavors.In some cases, on line fishing reports can be useful but then we all know how reliable the internet is for accurate information.

Oh yeah--I write columns on the internet. So, I take it back. The internet is a wonderful source of information, take everything you read as gospel.

Now back to our regularly scheduled program...

...Several calls or e-mails to and from guides and respected fishermen allow for a fairly accurate assessment of water conditions and "bite" of the fish.Bait of choice and actual fish count numbers also help us to make decisions as to where and how we chase after our prey.

We open our outdoor section in our local daily, and read the report like a want ad, expecting to see a report that says: "Hey A.J.--Yeah you--- grab your rod head out to the old military bridge, walk up to the first riffle upstream and cast to the inside pocket. There are thirteen steelhead sitting there waiting for about a half ounce of roe, spit some tobacco juice on it for luck and be sure to use about a half ounce of weight,let it sink to the bottom and bounce it lightly. You will feel a slight pause and heavy feeling on your eight pound test--that's a fish dummy --so lift your rod and start yelling like a little boy."

Of course, what we really get is:

Fishing is really picking up in the middle stretches of the river, with many catches being reported on roe,flies,worms,plugs,herring,small dogs and lures. Some fishermen are occasionaly picking up fish by side drifting bait while others are having some success back bouncing or picking off a few fish from the banks.The numbers of fish are generally good and guides are finding pockets of fish scattered throughout the river....

For the most part, you can cut and paste that report and use that as your fishing report for any river.

Except for the small dog part.

That is the problem with fishing reports. They are useless.

By the time you get the information, everything can change. Fishing conditions can change hourly, daily,and even by the minute, so--- to go armed with yesterdays news is just waste of time. Just ask anybody who has ever gone to a place with old information and came away with that "I should have been here yesterday" feeling.

For my inspiration to head off to the river, I need only get my fishing reports from the "drive by fishing report"???

Let me explain.

I was tooling along the boardwalk of the main drag in my hometown of Jacksonville Oregon the other day,minding my own business deep in thought of some silly idle brain cell expulsion of energy. When a voice rang out," did you hear about my fish?"

Outside of the fact, that I was not sure if God had finally answered my prayers and decided to personally have a conversation with me, I knew somebody was trying to get my attention. I looked around and there hanging out the window of his pick up truck was Jerry.

Relieved that I wasn't going to have to grow a long beard and wander the desert while carrying stone tablets, I heard Jerry holler at me again.

"Did I tell you about the fish I caught the other day?"

The fact that he asked me a second time, and was willing to slow the traffic behind him to give me some up to the minute report on fishing told me this might be big news.

"I caught a twenty-four and a half pound steelhead up on the North Umpqua."

I replied in a fashion that certainly would disqualify me from any future Mosaic job openings,and of course asked him--when?

"This past weekend."

I repeated my "first impressions" of HIS luck, and then traffic pushed him along and he was out of there.

Now that is my idea of a fishing report.

I knew it was accurate, because he added the half pound in his report. I had the location, and I had the approximate time.It was short and to the point. And for those of you that are unfamiliar with southern Oregon steelhead-- that is a huge fish.

At that point I had just received all the inspiration and information one could possibly need to go fishing.

In other words, as long as fish are present there is always the chance that I may be the lucky person to be on the other end of that battle with an incredible fish like that.

Isn't that what it's all about?

So if you need to check out the fishing report before heading out for a day or week of fishing-so be it. But really, if you have the basic knowledge of knowing where, and how to catch the fish that are present in the lake or river system. Just go. You can't catch 'em until you get your line in the water.

And who knows, maybe it will be you giving the daily "drive by fishing report" in your town.....

Some Great Tips To Help You Catch More Fish While River Fishing

In my opinion, the most important thing to remember while river fishing is not to spook the water that you're about to fish. I've seen entirely too many anglers do this very thing. For example, they'll wade 1/4 of the way out into the river and begin fishing. Thus leaving themselves standing in the very water they probably should have fished first.

The first tip is: When river fishing, remember to work the area that you want to fish in "sections". Don't just jump in and start fishing in the spot that you think looks the best. And don't just fish the water directly below where you're wading. Make your casts into the current then let your live bait or lure flow with the current until it is finally below you, keeping your line as tight as possible the entire time. Repeat this step while varying the length of your casts in order to cover the water entirely.

The second tip is: When river fishing, while using live bait, the bottom is your friend. As my mentor used to say, "if you're not getting snagged, you're not fishing in the right place!" The goal is to bounce you're live bait off of the bottom as it drifts naturally through the current (JRW Gang Hooks are the most natural way to present a worm in my opinion). This is accomplished by adjusting the number of split shot sinkers you add to your line. Start with two and make a cast. If you don't feel bottom throughout your drift, add another on the next cast and so on. Once you're bouncing bottom, you'll be able to feel it. And with practice, you'll be able to tell the difference between the bottom and a bite with ease.

The third tip is: Look for deeper water. For the most part you'll want to spend 80% of your time on any given river fishing trip, fishing the deeper parts of the river. Deeper edges and riffles and of course pools are where a majority of the fish will congregate(especially in hotter weather. You don't want to get caught spending 80% of your time fishing the shallow riffles and 20% of your time fishing the beautiful pool below the riffles. And the deeper edges along most riffles (especially in the bend of the river) are generally more productive as well. Just remember: for the most part, deeper is better.

The fourth tip is: Match your fishing gear to the type of fish that your fishing for. I've seen all too many anglers out on my local stream fishing for rainbow trout with gear that would enable them to hook and land a small mako shark! My personal preference is a five foot ultra light rod and reel spooled with 4 lb. test. If this would be too "small" for you, a 6 foot light action rod spooled with 6lb. test would suffice, but any larger is complete overkill. If you're going river fishing for fall steelhead, obviously your going to need larger fishing gear. Just make sure to match it to what you're fishing for. I don't need to see any more shark fishermen on my local trout stream.

These tips should save you time, and with any luck, help you catch more fish as well. So get out there and do just that. And remember what a very wise person once said, "a bad day fishing is better than a good day at work." Amen!

Bait fishing rigs - Tips for fishing bait Live Worms & Live Special

plants bait fishing with spoon, spinner, and small wires were used for many years of live bait for fishermen, and in this article, I will tell you approach some fishing nets Riggs, of course, that not even one. The type of fishing equipment and bait with similar indicators have their place in the fisheries sector of the community, especially when it comes to things like back-trolling for pike.

I am particularly on fisheries in the fishing zone normalSituations, both in a river or pond / lake, where we do not have access to a boat. In normal situations, he is employed as bait fishing live successfully to provide a key will be your look as natural as possible. In any case, this is more evident than when fishing with live worms.

Well, if the worms live bait fish are listed, as most fishermen do not give it much thought. It is simply "thread" their worm on a single hook and gowell. I mean, how difficult it is, right? Well, it is not difficult, but if we just give Fishing with worms a little thought, we realize that this is not the most effective way to go about using live bait worms. This is a much more effective option for fishing with live bait (especially live worms).

Helpful Bass Fishing Tips

Nothing is worse than setting out for a great day of bass fishing, making your way out to your favorite spot and then sitting their twiddling your thumbs for six or seven hours. You've just wasted your whole day and have nothing to show for your time and effort. Here's some help to save you from going through this experience time and time again, by giving you some helpful bass fishing tips.

The first tip I can give you is to make sure you have the right lure to get the job done. If you're not offering bass what they want, where they want it, they're likely to ignore your bait and just keep on moving. For deep waters, bass jigs are a nice choice. If you plan on fishing in a shallow spot, you'll want something that's light and simple. Plugs, tubes, and fake (but realistic looking ) worms are some good options.

Next in line for my bass fishing tips is the weight and size of fishing pole you're using. Make sure it's appropriate for the conditions of the water you're in. You don't want a heavy, eight foot pole swinging around in an area that's filled with weeds and brush. You'll be untangling your line and pole every five minutes and you're likely to scare most of the bass off. This is bass fishing, not weed whacking.

The third and last bit of helpful knowledge I'll impart to you today has to do with the type of line you're using. Of course, if the conditions are bad like I described above, you're stuck using a heavier test line. But for most occasions you'll want your line as thin and invisible to the bass as possible. Even the lightest of fishing line can hold upwards of seven or eight pounds. No point in using extra thick line unless you have to.

I hope these few bass fishing tips get you started on your way to becoming the bass catching master you want to be. There's always more to learn no matter what your hobby is. Keep growing, keep learning and get out there and snag the biggest bass in the lake!

Catfish and Predator Fishing Tackle - Some Tips For Anglers

Fishing for catfish and other large predator fish has a loyal following in the UK. In this article, we'll present a brief overview of what's needed in the way of fishing tackle if you want to pursue this wily fish.

Where to Find Catfish

Catfish frequent sunken trees, reed and weed beds, deeper water and holes. Although they prefer these locations, catfish will range far and wide when feeding, so anglers have a wide range of locations where they can drop their bait. These fish also may congregate near sand bars and gravel bars. Their diet is highly variable and includes mussels, crayfish, snails, shrimps and even dead fish.

Fishing Rods and Reels for Catfish

A fishing rod length of about 12 feet with a 2 1/2 pound test curve is adequate for catfish. The fishing pole action is particularly important in catfish rigs. The term "action" refers to how the pole reacts to bending force and its rate of recovery to a neutral position. Tip action rods flex more toward in the tip and slow action rods flex more toward the butt. For catfish fishing, choose a through-action rod where the flexibility is balanced between tip and butt. A reel for catfish fishing equipment should have a capacity of at least 200 yards for 12 to 15 pound test line. This larger quantity is necessary because these fish are capable of running long distances. Fishing reels for catfish should have the bait runner feature that enables the angler to pay out line freely without tension to the fish. A flick of a lever returns tension to the spool.

Hooks and Leaders for Catfish

Choose strong, sharp hooks with a wide gap for your catfish fishing gear. Double or treble hooks are not recommended, as they are not considered a humane way to hook a fish. These hooks are capable of pinning the fish's mouth shut, ensuring certain death should it escape the fisherman. Because of the areas frequented by catfish, choose an abrasion resistant line for leaders. The line is also abraded by the fish's teeth. A thin and supple braided leader is also recommended. Never use a wire leader as it can irreparably damage a catfish's mouth.

Landing a huge catfish can be a challenge for the most experienced UK angler. The correct fishing tackle can make the difference between success and failure.
