Sea Fishing is a Fantastic Hobby

Fishing is a great hobby and I just love sea fishing, the challenge of catching something unique or a fish that puts up a great fight is hard to beat. The great thing about sea fishing is that you never stop learning, what works well one day may not work quite so well the next.
When fishing from the shore at a new venue that I have never fished before, I find the best practice is to visit the mark the day before and check the destination out. For instance visiting on a low tide will enable me to view where any rocks or weed is. If there are anglers at the venue I can sit for hours just watching how the fish the destination. Many tips can be picked up just watching the local's fish; after all it is the locals who should be the experts here.

Fantastic Fishing Holidays in Europe

For holidaymakers with a passion for fishing, or just the desire to do something a little different with their time away, there are some exciting things to do around Europe. Many areas of the continent have prime freshwater and seawater fishing locations where those taking their well-deserved holidays can try their hand at catching everything from the freshest salmon to the largest Mediterranean tuna fish. Tuscany is one of the best fishing destinations for holidaymakers travelling to Italy. The best thing for visitors to do is get a short licence that will allow them to fish for the duration of their stay.
Alternatively it may be best to plan some sea fishing which does not require a licence, or the use of a private lake. Unless holidaymakers are lucky enough to stumble across one that the owners are happy for them to use. Aside from the fishing there is plenty more for holidaymakers to do while they are in North West Italy including taking a visit to the Tuscan cities of Florence and Pisa. Both are must sees and with Pisa being so close to the Italian Coast, visitors can head down for a spot of sea fishing after having a look at the city's famous leaning tower.

Big River Equals Big Fish - Right Or Wrong?

It is hard to imagine big fish living in a small river. The question is, does a large river necessarily equate to big fish?
A large fish simply cannot live in a small river without sufficient depth to contain its bulk. A fish that is exposed in this way for long soon becomes prey for some other creature. That is not to say that such fish cannot pass through shallow sections of their river (or other body of water) though the normal practice would be to wait for the wet season or, at least, some heavy rain. Even a bit of cloudiness to the water can help the fish to hide.

Popular Saltwater Fish

Saltwater fish tanks are highly popular all around the world. While many people have aquariums, there is something extra special about saltwater fish tanks that people seem to love so much. Perhaps it is the brilliantly clear water. Maybe it is the spectacular coral, or the brilliant accessories that go along with such a tank. While these things are great reasons to have a saltwater fish tank at home, there is nothing like the beautiful and exotic fish that live in these tanks to persuade a person to make the switch to the "miniature ocean" aquariums.
