paternoster is suitable for apollo question how apollo and bonding techniques used in the seabed angler question how apollo and bonding techniques used in the seabed angler shukor from penang answer there are several techniques used apollo bond anglers policy one of the popular ways is the bond paternoster bonding techniques such as use of catgut two chains and a key leader of the young leader either the same or different sizes twisted together like the screenshot below key leaders must be longer than his leader 1 prepare the main leader and the leader like his picture the main leader must four to five times longer than his leader young leaders in the foot are long over for red fishing policies leading 100 pound leader and leader children 60 to 80 pounds make a loop knot simultaneously for both leaders as picture 2 make sure the child turns to the leader over to the side of the tip to allow the tie hooks on the process later repeat the process to make a loop knot formed up to 3 turns circumference must be uniform then pull both ends of this circumference simultaneously and evenly pull gently so that they form a neat and uniform circumference repeat the same process for the second hook results like the picture we can also make apollo bait 6 hooks with the same technique posted by abu71 at 2 22 pm 0 comments labels bait appetizer crab fish oil we often hear about

labels fishing tips skate baits why a fish s biological imperative is to conserve energy at all costs potential food has to yield a certain level of caloric return to validate the energy cost of its pursuit so put a sunday dinner spread in front of a walleye and more often that not it ll grab those easy calories it s like walleyes enter a reactionary mode at some point when confronted with giant baits where they just have to bite this is the point when biology takes over in the 1970s i discovered that walleyes even two to three pound shore lunch fish are quick to devour giant sucker minnows waterdogs and other big forage up to a foot long or more taken to its extreme i was ordering 40 gallons of foot long salamanders at a time from carl lowrance one of the grandfathers of fishing electronics much to my mom s chagrin my brother scott and i kept them outside in a claw foot bathtub we d buried in her front yard but our waterdog hoarding was for good reason we had discovered that they re walleye catching machines in deep weeds and we caught some giants though it soon became a hassle to have waterdogs shipped and trapping them locally was a headache but we learned a valuable lesson during our waterdog years ramp up in bait size and you ll catch walleyes day in day out in the 80s we moved on to fishing big creek chubs and redtails at the time we were convinced redtails were the magic ingredient but through countless hours on the water we learned it had everything to do with bait size to this day i ll take a giant creek chub over a medium sized redtail walleyes as opportunistic feeders now here s an interesting phenomenon three pound walleyes will spit out a small shiner but hold on to a giant creek chub all the way to the boat kind of like the way a lion sinks its claws into fallen prey to keep it from circling hyenas it s animal planet stuff once a big walleye drops a kill whether it s a coughed up shiner young of the year fish or foot long chub another walleye will gobble it up fish like many creatures in the animal kingdom walleyes are opportunistic feeders we discovered this valuable lesson in the turpentine clear waters of northern minnesota many times we d hook a walleye and it d spit a big half digested fish some giants on its way to the boat and we d witness a trailing fish engulf the regurgitation again easy calories more than a fluke i started thinking there had to be a soft plastic that would accomplish the same thing we d discovered using live bait taking full advantage of the countless soft plastics on tackle shop shelves i experimented with everything it wasn t long before i had that eureka moment when i started playing with fluke style baits so popular with bass anglers from that first cast with a white pearl 7 inch zoom magnum super fluke rigged upside down it was game on but since that time i ve also found the northland impulse 5 inch jerk minnow is also a solid bet the first year i fished it from june into august and caught tons of fish my first guess was the flukes were just that a fluke because that year the thermocline was just starting to set up and fish were holding at the edge of the weeds through mid summer so the next year i fished em from ice out to ice up and discovered you could catch walleyes all year long on em i was dumbstruck from a casting perspective depths between 15 and 25 feet are typically hard to fish i thought wow now finally here s a bait that works effectively at those depths i started positioning on deep weedlines rocks and breaks with even deeper water access more walleyes and all sizes not just big fish but lots of quality 2 3 and 4 pound fish inhaling the giant soft plastics too more than match the hatch i learned it was more than match the hatch it wasn t that walleyes thought they were ciscoes or smelt walleyes keyed in on the magnum flukes because of size water displacement and speed just like a giant creek chub and when i say speed it has nothing to do with the bait cadence it has everything to do with covering water fast something we wanted to do all along but couldn t accomplish with livebait the other reason they proved effective is that they represent the kind of scenario walleyes are scanning for 24 7 a free lunch of dying or wounded meat coughed up by fellow fish here s the thing while i experimented with lots of colors even those that even more closely match forage patterns like shiners herring and ciscoes white pearl won out every time why solid white mimics the color of the stuff walleyes cough up half digested by stomach acid and on a slow sink and that s why rigging the fluke upside down is so important ever watch a wounded baitfish they kind of twitch and skate along through the water column with the magnum fluke inverted pops of the rod tip cause the bait to displace water and skate along in a way that suggests stunned easy to eat prey besides easy visibility white magnum flukes also have the kind of bulk that a walleye picks up via its lateral line from a long way away in between pops of the rod tip the bait falls in a way that perfectly mimics this dance of the dead hence the presentation became known as a skate bait although my brother jokingly suggested the god awful while the bait looks deceptively simple correct rigging is essential to put it to work for you rig your skate bait right simply thread a magnum fluke upside down on a northland 3 8 to ¾ ounce silver shiner colored mimic minnow jig head and you can attach a northland three inch sting r hook as insurance then to make sure the plastic stays on the hook fish after fish run a bead of krazy glue between the head of the jig and fluke body when it comes to rods and line there are also a couple key components to making the skate bait system win for walleyes first the use of a quality superline like 20 pound northland walleye braid or sufix 832 on a fast action medium heavy spinning rod like a 7 foot medium heavy st croix legend xtreme is a must for working this bait the braid responds quicker at greater depths using a pop pop pause cadence not unlike how you d fish a deep water jigging spoon plus it seems to create a better and more seamless skating action also make sure to attach a three foot section of 30 pound premium monofilament leader to prevent the shock of the rod action and fish strikes from breaking off your bait although you can use a double uni or other line to leader knot i opt for the no fail performance of a size 10 or 12 barrel swivel like the aquateko invisiswivel attach the skate bait to the mono leader with a palomar knot debriefing skate baits have opened my eyes to the untapped potential of casting soft plastics for walleyes it s proven to me that paying attention to fish behavior can help anglers build presentation systems that work not only seasonally but throughout the entire open water calendar without a shadow of doubt skate baits and jerk minnow type baits have proven to me that walleyes will consistently take advantage of a big free meal especially something that looks dying or wounded and when it comes to size if you think you re fishing something too big well you re probably on the right track just talk to a few muskie fishermen about when where and how often they catch walleyes on giant baits over the years i guess you could say the proof is in the livewell or at least a lot of photographs my next experiment you got it ramping up to even bigger soft plastics for skate baiting posted by abu71 at 2 12 pm 0 comments labels bait tips great grouper migrations anglers tend to think of groupers as homebodies spending their lives in some specific wrecks or reefs they call home that s often a fairly accurate portrayal but what many anglers probably don t realize is that most species of grouper are known to migrate long distances to spawn both gag grouper mycteroperca microlepis and nassau grouper epinephelus striatus are known to migrate hundreds of miles goliath grouper e itajara have been shown to migrate as far as 95 miles to a spawning site what s more beyond such surprising distances are the masses of migrating grouper forming spawning aggregations that can number in the thousands though the number involved in aggregations varies by species for example goliath grouper form relatively small spawning groups consisting of 10 to 100 individuals while tens of thousands of nassau grouper might be present in a single aggregation of all groupers only the red e morio is known to spawn without forming aggregations the locations where spawning aggregations occur can be quite consistent from year to year some 60 to 80 spawning aggregation sites have been identified for nassau grouper and a given site might be used repeatedly for at least 50 years the times at which migrations and spawning aggregations occur are quite predictable for example nassau grouper aggregate during november and december and peak spawning occurs two days after the full moon during this period gag grouper have longer spawning seasons than nassaus members of this species normally aggregate and spawn from january through april red hind e guttatus form spawning aggregations in the u s virgin islands around the winter solstice the shortest day of the year between december 20th and 23rd an...
