The author does this through images. These images help show the audience that he can use what he is explaining in the blog post effectively. When reading his post, I was more interested, just because of the heavy use of images. Many anglers love to show off their catch, most of the audience is hoping to do this with what they have learned.
Knowledge is a powerful tool in the sport of bass fishing. The purpose of this article is to share the author’s advice to a group of aspiring fisherman. This topic is not a very popular one, so it will it be a big help, verses other sites. He is suggesting what baits the readers should use while fishing different clarities of water. After finding the article is helpful, the audience will start reading more of the blogs he posts. They will trust the author’s advice and they may even hire him as a fishing guide, which is how he makes his money.
One thing that the author does is just tells the readers what they want to know. He doesn’t insert a lot of “fluff”. He tells the readers what they want to know and it is as simple as that. He goes straight to the baits that he would recommend. The author doesn’t not tell any stories about him using the baits or things that don’t apply to the topic. He shows this with sentences such as, “Something like a bluegill spinnerbait, or an underspin with a natural looking swimbait are good
shrimp on the hook, crack open a Red Bull and reach the point of relaxation. Fishing is all about
The book has vivid imagery making the reader imaging as if her or she was their right beside him in his whole investigation. Such as “In the winter of 1978, through, a fierce blizzard hit southern Connecticut. Temperatures were often below zero and at one point it snowed for thirty-three hours straight. Perhaps it was the cold that killed the fish, or the copper sulfate I helped the caretaker drag through the pond the previous summer to manage the algal blooms, or maybe even the fishermen id noticed trespassing on the estate one day, scoping out my grounds. But whatever caused it, after that never again did I spot a living fish in that pond again.”(Greenberg 12-13). This quote shows how good his imagery, tone, and diction is, when I read it all I could think of is that storm and the pond. The author has an excellent writing style and keeps the reader wanting more. Even though the book has a lot of good things for it the only thing I would tell the author would to give more connections of him to the story. It says “The transformation of salmon and sea bass from kingly and holiday wild fish into everyday farmed variants is a trend that continues with different animals around the globe.”(Greenberg 195). In every chapter about each of the fish it gives some connections to him but it would make it even
Bass fishing, at present, is considered as America’s number one freshwater sport, its industry is in fact seventy percent higher in growth compared to other types of fishing activities. Bass is a fish that belongs to the Serranidae family or sea basses and the Centrarchidae or the black basses. This family of perchlike fishes are large and oblong with compressed bodies that dwell in warm and temperate seas throughout
Cod consist of three chronological parts: A Fish Tale, Limits, and the Last Hunters. The first of which is about the biology of cod and how the history of commercial cod has affected the world. The second is concerned with several aspects contributing to the decline in cod fisheries. The third consist of the steady enactment of moratoria, its purpose and effects on fishing communities. Throughout this essay the goal will be to critically analyze the text, this is done through several scopes. The first of these scopes being the books literary value, or rather how the literary techniques influenced the books message in its entirety, which will lead into an analysis of the book on a more personal level. This analysis will culminate with a discussion of the book in its context with biological diversity.
My family fishes on a dock, but many people fish on a boat out on the water. Fishing can also vary with the type of bait used. My family uses live bait, but there are other types of baits and lures that fisherman use, such as worms or rubber lures. The bait used depends on the type of fish you’re fishing for and the type of water you’re fishing in. Rods also vary depending on the type of fish you are looking to catch, and the environment you are fishing in. My family uses carbon fiber fishing rods, but there are many different types such as fly rods, trolling rods and surf rods. Fishing is a great pastime and the many different variables help to make the activity

The FishBarg webpage that is being made sells fish and gives good suggestions as to what and were on how to fish. The goal is to help people in anyway weather it be from the tips and tricks of from the food.
Diving into the book I found that Paul Greenberg takes his readers on a journey starting from when he was just a boy and enjoyed the simple act of casting a baited-line into the water and waiting for a fish to latch onto the hook. “By the summer of 1981, I had a boat...and several thousand square miles of sea for my own use.” (3) After being hooked by Greenberg’s opening story, I learned that the four fish from the title of the book are salmon, sea bass, cod, and tuna. These four fish are on almost every seafood restaurant's menu. The book only has about six traditional chapters but four of them are dedicated to a single fish from the list mentioned before. Regardless, the book is still over two hundred pages long because Greenberg goes so in-depth with the story of each fish.
When it comes to bass fishing techniques, there is a plethora of information out there that can be confusing for the beginning angler to sort through. By understanding just a few basic techniques, you can cut through all of the information and get the fundamental knowledge that you need in order to successfully catch your first bass. Then as you gain experience, you will be able to build upon the basics that you have learned to become an expert bass fisherman.
Since the start of time, humans have been catching fish. The sport has, in many ways, evolved hugely, and yet in many aspects has stayed exactly the same. To me fishing is unique and I find it can be anything from relaxing to a very intense experience.
One of the most commonly used fishing lures is the classic "wounded minnow" lure. Its design allows it to resemble a minnow, or other small fish, that has been recently wounded and can barely swim. The effectiveness of this lure is evident in its length of past use and the continued production of the lure today.
Native Americans and U.S. commercial fisheries started catching Atlantic salmon in the 1600s. The catches in Maine exceeded 90 metric tons in the late 1800s and 45 metric tons in the 1900s. However since 1948, U.S. commercial fisheries have remained closed. For recreational purposes, fishermen have angled Atlantic salmon since 1932. In the Dennys River in Maine,...
The use of a boat while fishing and some of the physics applicable to boating will be included in exploring the various ways physics applies to the sport of fishing. Other topics will include the fishing rod, fishing lure, casting, and the fish itself.
Just as in any other sport, understanding gives rise to advantage and success. As serious fishermen, we had dedicated much thought to understanding the fish, hypothesizing their behavior. One understanding we had already gained through previous experiences was that fish readily eat the prey that is normally available. This, we concluded, was a sort of defense against fishermen and their foreign lures and was acquired through the fishes’ own previous experience of eating a lure. In applying this understanding to our fishing, we performed a routine food chain analysis to find out what our lures needed to imitate. The results were that the part of the food chain just beneath our quarry consisted mostly of small fish such as anchovies and young yellowtail, smaller than those shad and bluegill normally eaten in freshwater ponds. To compensate for this difference we would have to use lures smaller than those we were used to using. Luckily we had some.
First, when fishing, equipment is very important. It would not be prudent to bring knife to a gunfight, and fishing is just the same. When catching 500 lb. swordfish in saltwater it is important to not bring an ultra-light fly rod. The first step to having the correct equipment is identifying the species to be targeted. Let’s say the target is black bass. Then it id important to have a bait-casting reel with 15 to 20 lb. test line, and a heavy action rod with plenty of length for good hook set. Now I’m not saying it is impossible to catch a bass on lighter tackle, and there is probably fun to be had doing it as well. It is just that this is the most efficient way. Lures and or bait are also extremely important pieces of equipment when fishing. Some examples of lures for black bass would be spinners, jigs, plastic worms, top-water lures, and buzz baits. Bait for black bass fishing would be live minnows, crawfish, or worms, and some dead baits work too such as cut pieces of shad.
