Homemade Fishing Boilies and Recipes for Big Carp and Catfish!

Published by Tim Richardson under Water Sports

You can always learn more whether you are new to making, adapting and improving baits or not. Improving readymade baits and making really outstanding homemade baits takes a good deal of experience and knowledge to get consistent at it but here will be provided a really sound starting point to get the ball rolling as it were! We all start somewhere in making and improving baits but why not start big and aim for unique reliable baits to catch big fish and read on!

The concept of making little round balls of food for fish like carp and other species has a very long history and even back in the sixteenth century and beyond there are historical references to such activities utilising various protein-rich ingredients, binders, sweeteners and enhancers and so on. In the UK Fred Wilton pioneered the modern version of making baits that delved much deeper into essential fish dietary requirements in order to exploit them to make baits that fish would find many highly attractive and stimulating reasons to consume to the effect that the more they ate the more they would want them! The HNV or high nutritive value bait approach is just one angle – these baits are rich but other baits can also hook fish although they may be far less nutritional as in the case of over-flavoured baits for instance; but readymade baits did not always exist and various other approaches to homemade baits work although usually you need to be a better angler to keep catching on instant baits compared to HNV baits!

The original protein-rich high nutritional value baits were designed around caseins and caseinates but other protein sources also figured including liver, yeast, and fish materials etc. From the fifties and onwards the rise of specialist baits really has exploded but a shift occurred from the mainly milk orientated baits of the seventies and early eighties to the fish meal and bird food and other combinations and styles of baits that predominated. It was realised by those who did their research well that fish need carbohydrates in baits to fully utilise the proteins in them, and also milk proteins sky-rocketed in price over the years so other protein sources have been sourced again and again; however, caseins still figure largely in nutritional baits of most kinds today! Fish meals really became popular in the eighties and nineties like the bird foods and other forms of ingredients as homemade bait-making anglers strove to cut costs while developing highly nutritional digestible baits and it can be significantly cheaper to make your own outstandingly successful potent baits than just depend upon ready made baits – especially if you are smart in how and where you buy your protein-rich ingredients!

Although fish meal baits came more into prominence in the nineties, bird food and milk protein type HNV baits were not the only forms of nutritional baits as there are endless variation, and the success of flavour over-dosed baits and fake baits show that many other options also exist. Fish such as carp or catfish can be trained like dogs or humans for that matter to come back for more food when it is introduced to them regularly; where baits contain particularly stimulating nutrition and bioactive factors then baits can be extremely successful – even if you are only an average angler. HNV type baits can be an excellent leveller of results even against better more talented and experienced anglers when you regularly apply them over time – which is a major reason I prefer to make my own unique economical ones and because this is a long-proven big fish tactic for both big carp and catfish and other species too!

Knowing how to manipulate and exploit fish behaviours and instinctive needs internally by bait substance secrets is the most powerful starting point in beginning to design fishing baits – and not just knowing a bit about a few additives, ingredients or flavours! Finding out about fish internally is really exciting because the more you know how to manipulate your fish using the leverage of baits substance secrets the easier they can be to catch! Knowledge really is power that leads to far better than average catches of big fish!

When you begin bait making learning about fish first then it is very much easier to select a range of bait ingredients, additives, special enhancers, palatants, flavours, digestion boosters, addictive and habit-forming substances etc with absolute confidence! To write about bait in depth takes a depth of personal experience and catches from experimenting with bait substances and various combinations and levels etc over many years and my bait making days began for me around the age of 7 back in the early seventies. Many new bait substances are available now that really seriously boost catch results and because these substances are so potent you do not need to use much of them.

In the old days milk protein baits were used very sparingly by most anglers because for one thing they were very high in protein so the fish did not need to eat many before getting full; and anyway, they worked instantly on the vast majority of waters. When fish meal baits came into prominence it was the relatively new tactic of dumping many kilograms of boilies into a swim to draw and hold the fish. Please do not get the idea that you need to make hundreds of kilograms of homemade boilies to catch big fish because just a handful of extremely potent homemade baits are always be just as good as any pricy readymade bait when you fish them in the right spot with a suitable rig!

The major reason why you can have absolute confidence in your own unique homemade baits and recipes is because preferably you will have studied the fish in detail in terms of the many factors that you can potentially exploit to manipulate their feeding modes, feeding habits, feeding intensity and location and so on. I spent a very long time putting this kind of information all into my ebooks to make this far quicker and easier to understand, and to put into practice in formulating your own unique baits that catch fish again and again. Now I will provide you with a simple homemade bait recipe for big fish that will kick start you on the bait-making road – or will give you something a little bit different if you already have some experience!

The bait below is not a complex one and anyone can make it – or versions of it with confidence when aiming for big carp or catfish for instance. This bait is based primarily on highly digestible fish meal and not caseins to keep costs low and there are additions in it that you may or may not utilise to boost effects and performance and make your bait especially unique. When making baits it is an art and not just science so bear in mind that levels and ingredients can be adjusted to however you like and this bait although digestible and highly nutritionally attractive is not as optimised for digestion as is possible looking at this recipe form a scientific standpoint – but your fish will not mind at all!

7 ounces of low temperature fish meal. 2 ounces of calcium caseinate. 1 ounce of 90 mesh casein. 2 ounces of CC Moore Meggablend sweet. 1 ounce of blood plasma. 1 ounce of hydrolysed poultry protein. 1 ounce of keramine soluble meat protein. 1 ounce of chopped fennel seeds.

You can make baits using liquid eggs or other binders but add liquid foods such as hydrolysed worm extract, stabilised maggot juice, liquid Belachan, CC Moore Red Venom, plus a low volume dose of oil – such as evening primrose oil and cod liver oil for example; many anglers like to use flavours, or mixed palatants, enhancers and appetite stimulators etc – you might try CC Moore green-lipped mussel or Belachan flavour instead of the usual Scopex, pineapple or chocolate malt so currently familiar with pressured fish; you might even add a citrus extract or liquid spice extract in unusual combinations and levels. CC Moore figures quite a bit as a supplier in these suggestions and ideas; of course you get what you can and certainly I source many really potent bait substances that are not found in bait company product listings – so keep an open mind!

Eureka Assault and Eureka Equinox: Tents to Keep You Dry on Your Next Camping Trip

Published by Michelle Robert under Outdoor Sporting

My family and I love to camp, but I guess you could say I am somewhat of a “fair weather” camper, since the idea of camping in any kind of bad weather does not appeal to me. But, like it or not, weather has a way of happening, so having a tent that can handle whatever Mother Nature has in mind is important. Eureka makes two such tents: the Eureka Equinox 6 and the Eureka Assault Outfitter. Each is designed differently, but they both are great at holding up to the elements.

Let’s first look at the Eureka Equinox 6. This tent will do a fantastic job of keeping everyone dry. The heavy duty oxford nylon floor is designed to repel water and even the window design helps to keep things dry, since they are hooded to protect against the rain. And the Eureka Stormshield polyester fly also adds to keeping out the rain, with additional full coverage as well as improving the overall durability.

The design of the Eureka Equinox 6 is an important aspect of what makes this a great tent. It has a hexagonal dome shape that provides a lot of space inside: it can sleep up to 6 people with 87 square feet. Don’t have 6 people? Then you have more space to spread out inside. Plus, you will have a center height of 79 inches so you will have plenty of room for a tall person to stand upright.

The Eureka Assault Outfitter is a different style of tent, in that it was designed similar to the tents Eureka makes for the military…so it is meant to handle the harshest conditions there are. If you need a tent that can go anywhere, any time of the year, this is a tent you will want to consider. It’s domed shape sheds snow and rain very easily, so will easily protect you from the elements all year long.

Now the Eureka Assault Outfitter is not a big tent, sleeping up to three people in just 64 square feet of space. But at a little over 13 pounds it is easy to transport, in fact many folks find it to be a great tent for backpacking. This is not the tent to use for camping with a lot of family members for a long vacation, but for a quick set-up, easy to carry tent, it is just right.

Want to stay dry while you camp? Then take a look at these two tents. Both the Eureka Equinox 6 and the Eureka Assault Outfitter are tough and able to withstand just about any kind of weather. For me, that makes them just about perfect!

Camping with your family can be a lot of fun but not having the right gear can make your trip miserable. Want to be sure to have a fun camping vacation? Learn more about the Eureka Equinox 6 tent and the Eureka Assault Outfittertent, read the reviews from satisfied owners and see if one of them is the best tent for you.

Things to Consider Before Buying a Mountain Bike

Published by Debbie Parkinson under Outdoor Sporting

Setting out to purchase a mountain bike can not only be time consuming but can be frustrating at times as well. This article will lay out a few things you should consider before pulling out your wallet to buy a mountain bike.

The amount of money that you can spend for these mountain bikes can quickly deplete your savings if you are not careful. To help keep you from going overboard in your spending, you should determine beforehand what kind of cash you will be willing to part with for one of these things. Keeping that in mind, it is advisable to avoid purchasing your new mountain bike from one of the mass merchandisers such as Wal-Mart or K-Mart and instead begin your search at the your local bike shops. This will not only insure you get better service but you will be getting a better mountain bike as well.

As you begin your search for your mountain bike, you will soon learn that mountain bikes are designed for different types of terrains and riding styles. You want to decide beforehand what types of riding you will be doing the most of. Will you be doing smooth riding, cross country racing, mountain cruising, or lift accessed downhill? By determining what style of riding you will doing, you will be ensuring that the mountain bike you eventually select will be a best fit for your situation.

If your budget will allow, a full suspension mountain bike is always worth the extra cash. The much lighter alternative is the hard tail having no rear supension. Even though the hard tail is lighter and pedals more efficiently, the full suspension mountain bikes are more comfortable and provide better control. Again, you will want to base your decision on your riding style, type of terrain you will be encountering, and your price range.

Doing a side by side comparison of every component on the mountain bike may seem like a nearly impossible task – there are simply too many combinations available and the job can get to be overwhelming. You are better off deciding on a few components that are important to you from the standpoint of your riding style and local terrain and then choosing the rest based on minimum requirements as well as your price point. A good place to start is the forks, wheels, and derailleur.

Oftentimes the price of mountain bikes rise and fall with the seasons. With spring and summer being the prime buying season, you might expect to shell out a bit more during these times. If you can hold off on your purchase until the fall and winter months, you might find yourself saving a couple of hundred bucks on your purchase. If you shop around and are not afraid to let your local bike shops know you are doing so, you might find one or two of them ready to offer you incentives, special discounts, or even throwing in some extra accessories just to reel in your business.

Finding a good bike dealer is more important than finding the best price. You should always find a dealer that cares more about selling you a great bike than selling you a high priced one. A great dealer will have a clean repair shop and give you the impression that you can really trust them.

You should test ride as many bikes as you can within your price range and riding style. You\’ll find that some bikes will feel right, while others won\’t. The more bikes you can test drive, you better you\’ll understand what works and what doesn\’t.

Product reviews and bike reviews are some of the best ways to find out about a mountain bikes reliability and overall performance. You should always look at what other owners and reviews think about a bike before you make that final purchase.

Debbie Parkinson spends the majority of her time outdoors in addition to writing about challenging outdoor activities. Mountain biking is a fabulous outdoor activity but can be greatly improved with a pair of coolmax socks. These over the calf socks remove sweat away from your feet to make sure they stay dry and comfortable for a full days ride.

Economical Winter Pursuits

Published by Alex Beattie under Winter Sports

Snowboarding and skiing are the popular choices for outdoor winter activities, however, there are other great activities to participate in too. Tobogganing, skating and snowshoeing are just as enjoyable, and do not put such a strain on your finances.

Most people have already experienced the exhilarating rush of shooting down the side of a hill whilst gripping tightly to a toboggan, but not since their teenage years. There is no reason to see it as just a child\’s activity though, as lots of winter resorts now have specialist tobogganing areas and slopes. It is a great way for children and adults to spend time together having fun. As for the cost, there is a wide range of toboggans in stores for less than $10, and that is all the you need to participate.

Most winter resorts have a dedicated ice ring, or a nearby lake that has frozen over with thick ice. The basic skills can be picked up within an hour, and you will be effortlessly skating around in just half a day. Skates are available at many stores that sell sports equipment, for around $20-30, and are a particularly good investment as they can be used throughout the year at your local ice ring as well.

Most winter resorts have snowshoeing trails for your enjoyment. Why do you need snowshoes to use the trails? Because strapping on a pair makes walking down and around snow covered landscapes a lot less hardwork, which means that you can cover a lot more ground and experience more of the beautiful surroundings. While if you plan on purchasing your own snowshoes they will cost you around $150-200, you can rent a pair from a store at most resorts for much less – about $20 a day.

So, this winter, do not let money worries stop you from enjoying yourself in the snow!

How To Select The North Face Backpacks That Fit The Journey You Will Be Taking

Published by Henry Jeon under Outdoor Sporting

If you are looking for a manufacturer that truly understands the needs of campers and hikers, the North Face backpacks that you can find in stores and online really fit that bill. They offer backpacks in a range of different sizes and also have a line of day packs and even backpacks that double as laptop cases. Whether you are up for a serious trek through the wilderness or simply navigating the urban jungle, the North Face backpacks are a great choice for anyone.

Backpacks are often divided into categories depending on the volume that they can hold. Larger backpacks that are designed for longer trips may also have more compartments and have external pockets built into the top or the sides. This makes it easier for you to access small items that you may need. It can prevent you from having to dig through all of your gear to find certain small items. You need to think about where you will be going with the pack and what you are likely to be doing while you are there. This can help you pick the backpack that best fits your needs.

When picking which backpack you will use for any camping trip, you need to think about how long you will be traveling for. The longer you are out in the woods, the more room you will need to store your gear. Therefore, you may want to pick a larger backpack style than a smaller day pack. If you will be going out for a day or two, you may be able to get away with a backpack that has a volume of about 30L but for multiple day trips or trips where you need to take a lot of gear, you may want to spring for one of the larger models. Certain backpack models from the North Face can hold up to 75L of gear which should be enough for a week in the wilderness.

When you are shopping for any backpack, you want to make sure that you look at the weight of the pack. This can be important if you are going on a canoeing trip or you are going to be hiking a great distance. This is because a heavier pack can tire you out and may make it impossible for you to complete your journey. If you are shopping for a backpack in person, try hefting it empty and think about how much it will weigh when filled with gear.

Because a large pack will be heavy as well, you want to make sure that it will not drag or rub. This can cause your back and shoulders to become raw and painful. The last thing that you want when you are in the middle of nowhere is to throw your back out of alignment. This can be dangerous and make it impossible for you to move anywhere. Straps that are thick and padded, and which can be adjusted are very important. All backpacks from the North Face have straps which are fully adjustable. The larger packs also offer waist straps which can help balance the weight on your hips.

The North Face also makes day packs as well as larger backpacks. They are well designed and durable as well and this is one reason why experienced hikers like this company. The North Face recognizes the importance of hydration and makes a point of including pockets for water bottles. The fact that they are easily accessible makes it possible to get a drink while you are on the move rather than making you stop and search through your entire pack.

When shopping for your backpack, remember to make sure that it is durable and will not wear out. Check the stitching on the straps to make sure it will not unravel. You want to look for a shell that is durable and will not wear out quickly. Heavy duty nylon is light, will wear well and will also repel a certain amount of water. While there are dry bags that are built to keep all water out, good quality nylon will keep you from getting damp in a sudden shower of rain.

The North Face has committed itself to providing a line of excellent backpacks, laptop bags and day packs for the camper or urban warrior. If you love the idea of a durable and effective product, look for one of their packs today.

Get your perfect travel solution by looking at The North Face backpacks today. There are tons to choose from and each that will work with your lifestyle and your finance. Visit http://thenorthfacebackpacks.com/ for more information.

Importance of Wearing Ski or Snowboarding Goggles

Published by Kevin Gillett under Sports Equipment

Whether you are a skier or a snowboarder, you have to ensure that your eyes are kept well protected for which, you have to buy some good quality goggles. Without goggles, you will be put at risk of several harmful consequences including ice particles, twigs, snow and debris flying towards your face at high speed. You also need to protect your eyes against UV rays that become more powerful when get reflected back from the snow.

You also need to give attention to the issue of fogging while purchasing a snowboarding or skiing goggle, particularly if you are a novice as at this stage, you tend to fall more and breathe heavier. You can purchase goggles that have multiple lenses in which fresh air gets circulated inside the goggles, keeping them well-vented and thus avoiding fogging. You can also choose the goggles that have undergone chemical treatment during their manufacturing process or you can choose anti-fogging wipes or sprays that you can easily purchase from an equipments store.

Branded goggles mostly provide 100% protection from UV rays but they are very costly. If you cannot afford to buy them, you can purchase the ones that provide at least 95% protection.

You should also keep in mind that the goggles that you are buying provide better peripheral vision, they are comfortable to wear by the skier or snowboarder and they fit properly over the person’s face. The straps and inside of the goggles should be padded so that you do not get seriously injured in case of a bad fall. With goggles with good peripheral vision, you will be able to see clearly everything on your way including rocks, trees, uneven terrain and other people on your way.

Customized prescription goggles are also available which have all the features that you need in skiing or snowboarding goggles. If not this, you can also choose the ski or snowboarding goggles that fit properly over your prescription glasses. While choosing the color of your lenses, you must remember that clear or yellow colors are good for darker skiing or snowboarding conditions, rose tint are for medium to low conditions and yellow, amber and gold colors are for moderate conditions. Today, goggles are also available with inter-changeable lenses so that you can choose the color as per the present skiing or snowboarding conditions.

Most of the goggles from branded manufacturers are good in quality but you should ensure that you will be easily wearing them with your helmet. Therefore, it is important to choose your skiing or snowboarding goggles after a lot of consideration so that you get to enjoy your favorite sport in the safest way possible.

How to Become Expert at Skiing and Snowboarding

Published by Kevin Gillett under Sports Equipment

Both skiing and snowboarding are incredibly fun activities and recreational sports. If you have never done skiing or snowboarding before but now you want to try them out, then you must first of all get yourself ready for some initial struggles, even if you are the most gifted athlete. You may fall many times in the beginning of your lessons and may even hurt yourself slightly with some injuries and bruises, but with your mistakes, you need to learn how to fall without getting hurt.

Never give up only after seeing the struggles on the very first day. Almost everyone can spend his vacations in a whirlpool tub, but if you are an adventure lover, then you need to keep trying with your ski or snowboard, until you are perfectly comfortable gliding through the snow.

First of all, you should hire a professional instructor to teach you the sports on the mountain itself. It can be a frustrating experience for your spouse or your friends if you do not learn the activity professionally and get out on the field.

Apart from that, think about your equipments. It is advised to rent the equipments rather than buying them, because you are in your initial stages of learning the sports and you do not know whether you will be able to learn them or not and how often you will be going out to ski or snowboard. When you are in the equipments store to hire or buy the gear, make sure to tell them that you are a beginner so that they will provide you beginners’ equipments only.

Learn the skills slowly and gradually. You have to build your foundation first, no matter there are too many 8 year olds around you on the slope. Once your foundation has been built, you will be successful at tackling bigger slopes with confidence and ease. First of all, you have to spend some time on your behind and after that, learn to balance your body properly. However you may take some time to become perfect at this, you will be rewarded with delightful experiences once you have learned it.

In the end of the day spent in the chilly snow, nothing will be better than a shower or bath. The frozen fingers of your hands and toes will thaw out and the sore muscles of your body will love to be in the warm water. Even though it will be hard to get yourself motivated to go there again to continue your lessons, you will definitely be rewarded in the end.

How to Enjoy Skiing and Snowboarding

Published by Kevin Gillett under Sports Equipment

Whether you have just learnt skiing or snowboarding or you have left it several years later, these tips may prove to be very useful for you. Paying attention to the gravity of the place is very important and always avoid going on a direct way which is not only less enjoyable but also unsafe. You should be perfect at turning and braking whenever needed. Another thing you should know perfectly is how to balance yourself. It may not be very easy to balance your body while gliding down the slopes, you have to be perfect at it and remain stable on your way.

You should also give proper attention to the weather forecasts of the place. Do not forget to wear proper clothing in order to stay warm the whole day. Good skiers and snowboarders always wear masks and sunglasses to keep their eyes and face protected. This will save you from getting snow blindness. While choosing the goggles for this purpose, make sure that it has been manufactured by a reputed company only.

Remember that an under layer of cotton is not a very good choice. It would be better to wear thermal layer on your skin. Instead of wearing warm sweaters, try to wear several layers of clothes and wear only a single pair of socks. Plus, you should not forget that your last layer of clothes should be water proof and wind proof.

You should also do all things necessary to keep your skin protected from sun, cold and wind. Sun rays cannot be felt by you because they reflected by the snow, but you should remember that due to this reflection, they become stronger and more harmful. Before going out to ski or snowboard, do not forget to apply a sun protection cream which will give protection to your skin not only from sun but also from wind and cold.

To remain protected from injuries, it is important to keep body in good physical shape. Follow a fitness routine and exercise regularly. In this way, your body will remain flexible which is a necessary attribute while on the snow fields.

Keeping yourself fully equipped is also a good way to keep you protected. Always make sure that you are wearing special protection gear like helmet to prevent you from head injuries, boots to protect your feet and ankles, elbow guards for your elbows, knee pads for your knees and padded pants and jacket for the rest of your body.

If you want to learn skiing or snowboarding fast, then it is better to ski with people who are more proficient than you. You will get something new to learn everyday, whether you are trying to learn a better turn or a specific jump. With all this, you will be able to make the most out of this winter season.

How Can A Skier Become A Snowboarder

Published by Kevin Gillett under Sports Equipment

If you know how to ski and now you want to snowboard, then first of all, you need to understand what the difference between the two sports is. The basic dissimilarity is that while skiing, you stand on two skis but while snowboarding, you stand on a single snowboard. You are already aware of the feeling of sliding across the white snow with your feet attached to some equipment, now you have to learn to make adjustments so that you can do that on a single board in place of two separate skis.

While skiing, you have to put your body weight on both the skis attached to your feet that may stand apart from each other. But in snowboarding, you have to balance your body weight on an edge of the board and keep yourself balanced. As you are not given any poles to hold on to in snowboarding, you may take some time to get used to it. To deal with this, the first thing that you need to learn is how to fall without getting ourselves injured. We may fall several times while learning snowboarding, but we can only become an expert snowboarder if we learn the art of falling safely.

Bindings in skiing and snowboarding are different too. Skiing has standard bindings while snowboarding has two different kinds of bindings: the first ones are used with the boots which are straps that bind your foot to the snowboard by going over your boot, the second type of bindings are step-in bindings which are mostly used for high performance snowboarding and are available with quick release lever also. If you are purchasing step-in bindings for snowboarding, then you will also need to purchase special step-in boots made by the same manufacturing company.

While transiting to snowboarding from skiing, you will need to adjust with the stance too. In snowboarding, the snowboarder has to stand on the snowboard with his feet sideways in the surfing position. Basically, there is no standard stance for snowboarding and you yourself have to choose the distance between both your feet and their degree of angle.

A skier may be very fast at learning snowboarding because there are only a few adjustments that he will have to make. You can take some snowboarding lessons also through which you will quickly gain confidence for riding on the snowboard and you will soon be shredding through the mountain trails without tumbling.

Renting Skiing and Snowboarding Gear

Published by Kevin Gillett under Sports Equipment

If you are planning to go for a skiing or snowboarding trip and you still have not decided about your equipments, then buying the required gear seems to be the best option, but its cost is perhaps the major drawback. If you are a beginner in the sport, then getting the gear on rent is a much better option for you.

Renting the gear is also an affordable option for you, especially if you are not willing to spend a large amount on buying them. As carrying them in your car or plane is also a troublesome activity, you will also be saved from this if you rent the equipments. Plus, because human body is always prone to become thin or fat, you cannot afford to purchase one again and again and thus, renting the gear is a better choice. Keeping in mind all these points, hiring the skiing or snowboarding gear seems to be better than buying a new set.

Once you have decided to get your equipments on rent, you have to reserve it much before going out for your trip, especially if you are going out during the peak season. If you wait till the last minute, you will need to search a lot for the appropriate equipments and sizes.

If you have decided to rent the equipment at the mountain itself because you do not want to carry your gear all up to the mountain, you need to arrive at least an hour before you are planning to snowboard or ski. This will give you enough time to get your gear and fit in well. But if you are planning to rent it elsewhere, it is good to get the gear at least a day before your schedule.

The type of ski and snowboard equipments that you hire depends upon the weight of your body. The gear has to be of the right weight and your shoes should be of the right size.

While signing the contract for hiring the equipments, the company will also offer you insurance over the gear, the cost of which is usually a single dollar for a day. This comes to 3-4 dollars for one trip. This cost is much less when we compare it to hundreds of dollars we will have to spend if we damage the rented snowboard or ski.

All the above mentioned tips will help you in deciding which snowboard or ski equipment to hire, so that you can go on our adventure with everything ready.
