Most fish farmers add pigmenting compounds to the food they give their salmon, so that the fish achieve the same deep pink color that wild salmon get naturally from the crustaceans and other food in their environment. Do they add … Continue reading →

vertical position. Trailering with the engine in a vertical position puts the least amount of strain on the motor and transom, but that’s not possible for many boat/trailer/engine combinations due to ground clearance issues. Should my outboard be up or … Continue reading →

There’s seriously NO WORSE material PVC is really dangerous to human and animal health not only through the osmosis of the material on the skin, but also throughout its entire life cycle of production, use, and disposal. Is PVC harmful … Continue reading →

Significantly, HDPE pipes are durable and flexible and can be used for more than 50 years without any complications. On the other hand, polyethylene or PE pipe is the most common and widely used plastic globally. It’s a common polymer … Continue reading →

Cut with carbide-tipped saw blades and bits Cut PVC trim boards with the same hand and power tools that you use for wood. But use only carbide-tipped saw blades; plain steel ones will dull quickly. In general, the more teeth … Continue reading →

Drifting is allowing the wind and current to move the boat while actively fishing. Setting up a drift requires recognizing the wind and current direction and strength, positioning the boat up-drift of the intended area, and either turning off the … Continue reading →

Bendable or flexible materials are materials that are able to be bent out of shape or compressed without breaking, and can easily be returned to their original shape. What is a strong bendable material? It’s “graphene.” Graphene is the strongest, … Continue reading →

When a polythene rod is rubbed with a duster, the friction causes electrons to gain energy. Electrons gain enough energy to leave the atom and ‘rub off’ onto the polythene rod. The polythene rod has gained electrons, giving it a … Continue reading →

They use them for trolling (fishing) or maneuvering at slow speeds and for backup if the big motor fails. Why do fishing boats have two motors? Compared with all three other propulsion systems that basically have an engine in the … Continue reading →

The hybrid and white bass bite has cooled off, along with the water temperatures in Richland Chambers, Navarro Mills and Lake Aquilla, according to guide Allen Morehouse. “The bite has been good before the rain,” he said. Do bass bite … Continue reading →

White bass have small mouths — big baits won’t catch them with any consistency. That’s unfortunate, for winter is an excellent season for catching whites. Many anglers catch them in dam tailwaters by tightlining from the bank or wade fishing … Continue reading →

Ocean currents are the continuous, predictable, directional movement of seawater driven by gravity, wind (Coriolis Effect), and water density. Ocean water moves in two directions: horizontally and vertically. What is the movement of ocean waves called? Waves transmit energy, not … Continue reading →

Can I troll with drift sock? The preferred way to use your drift sock for trolling is to first find the fish or landmark on the map you want to target. Then continue past the spot heading into the wind. … Continue reading →

The drag is simply a pair of friction plates inside of fishing reels. If the fish pulls on the line hard enough, the friction is overcome, and the reel rotates backwards, letting line out, preventing the line from breaking. You … Continue reading →

Fiberglass tape doesn’t have an aggressive adhesive, so it’s not wise to trust it any longer than necessary, especially on ceilings. As soon as you finish taping a room, proceed immediately to the first coat of compound to embed the … Continue reading →
