Today’s AMFisH fishing blog post – tips for spooling line on a baitcasting reel.

Hi AMFisHers!   Spring fishing is almost here and I thought I would share a post with some tips in it for spooling line on to your baitcasting reels.

First fishing line does not last for many years and it ages quicker is left in direct lights so keep your spools tucked away in a dark place.  Depending on how often you fish it is a good idea to get into the practice of changing it every season, mono and fluorocarbon for sure, with braid you can usually get away with cutting off several feet to get to fresh vibrant line below.

Using a small one inch piece of hockey tape placed on your spool will allow for a nice grip for your line(see picture below) which is crucial for a good solid base line.

image

Next if you are only using mono or fluorocarbon you should use the arbor knot (reference the video at the bottom of this post)to connect your line to your spool, this is a great knot for this exact purpose.    Once you have tied your line to the spool you will want to spool it on nice and tight, make sure your drag is tight as this will give you a good solid foundation of line on the spool.

If you are using braided line you will follow the same steps above BUT you will want to spool you line on as tight as possible, a very strong foundation with braid can help prevent many issues.   Due to braid having zero stretch you can spool on 20 to 30ft of mono on the spool first(reference picture below), then tie your braid to the mono using a uni-knot(reference video link below) as this is a very strong knot for tying two pieces of line together.

image

Once your braid is tied to the mono turn that drag forward and spool the line on nice and tight.   You should be able to get a full spool of 150 yards on to the average baitcasting spool BUT be sure not to over spool your reel, keep an eye out for no line reaching above the spool edge, leave a little free space.

When spooling a baitcasting reel you will want to have you spool of line upright so the line comes off the spool and onto your reel spool the exact same way it is sitting on the spool you purchased.   By using an inexpensive spooling/line storage box similar to this(see picture below)one will allow you to spool your reels easily and quickly, as well as allowing you to have all your spools of line organized in one place.

When you are finished your freshly spooled line should loon like it does in the picture below, nicely spooled, even, tight foundation, not over spooled and ready to be used!

This weeks AMFisH fishing vlog – The AMFisH creation story, video #100!

Hi fellow AMFisHers!  This is a very special AMFisH fishing vlog that is going live this week, as it is the AMFisH creation story vlog as well as my 100th video that has gone live on my YouTube channel!

AMFisH goes back many years to the time when I was in the mid teens and thinking of what wanted to do for a living or what I wanted to be part of as a career, a very confusion time for me as I knew fishing was what I wanted to do but had not idea how I would get to doing it.

Fishing intrigued me since I was a toddler, every time I was near water which was not too often I felt this connection with the water and just seeing someone fishing made me curious.  I recall camping with my family and being around 6 to 7 years old, sitting by the lake campgrounds watching this older man catching fish.   He had walked out to about mid thigh deep water and was casting, every few minutes his fishing rod was bending and I knew he was fighting something he had caught.

After seeing him catch a few fish I walked over as he was coming back to shore and was amazed to see fish he had tied up with some rope.  They were resting in the shallow water and as he approached the shore he said hi how are you.  Being a very shy kid I just smiled and he said nice fish eh, I moved my head up and down and walked away.

So intrigued at what I had seen I knew that this was something I had to do, not sure how but I had to find a way.  Growing up with non outdoorsy parents I did not fish much as a young child but have some fond memories of a few outings, catching  my first fish ever a small rock bass on a worm, that was on a hook tied to some line dangling off a thick 2ft branch.  Fishing in Florida off a pier and catching nothing while others were and those very special outings when camping with my first bullet cast fishing reel/rod combo casting out a dried out black rubber worm and catching nothing hour after hour but sticking with it in hopes I would catch something.

I have very few pictures of me fishing as a child but the memories I had kept me going all these years along with watching fishing shows on TV as that is how I lived my fishing outings through the shows.   So many years later it is an unbelievable feeling to be living my passion/dream and it’s hard to even describe how amazing it is!

I thank everyone out there for their support and look forward to sharing another 100 videos with all of you!

Tight lines!

AMFisH daily blog post – spring fishing bait tips!

Hi fellow AMFisHers!   Spring is just around the corner and there are some key spring fishing strategies when it comes to what baits to use.

Bait fish are their smallest in the very early months so throwing a huge bait does not make for a good choice.   You will want to stick to smaller baits, in the 3.5″ and shorter range, as well as slimmer profile baits with not too much body bulk.

Spring is the time of year when everything is rejuvenating itself, small fry bait fish are scurrying around everywhere, insects are flying around and landing on the water holes, so a great choice of baits are ones that mimic these behaviors.

By using small simple/easy to fish baits like in-line spinners, beetle spins and spoons in very natural looking colours patterns, you capitalize on the current behavior of various food sources that fish gorge on in that spring season.

Coming out of a long, cold and dark downtime the fish light up at this new time of year and can feed rather intensely due to all the available food growing amongst them.  Keeping it simple for the first couple of months definitely increases your chances of many successful fishing days and some very memorable fishing days that may not happen again.

Below are a few pictures of the Williams spoons, Bluefox vibrax inline spinners, Johnson beetle spins and Mepp’s inline spinners which are in the 2″ to 3.5″ size range that you want a bait to be in during early spring.  They are very natural looking colours, silvers, black bug like patterns ad what you will want for a colour selection.   Lastly they give off some good vibration which you can’t use enough in the early spring to attract those fish strikes.

These may be small baits and you might be thinking that bigger fish would not go after baits this size, but many big fish will never pass up on an easy simple meal that they have to expend very little effort to gobble up.

Early season is a great time of year to catch some good fish and plenty of them so think small, natural and noisy to get them going.   You can also work these baits pretty quickly if the water temperature is slightly warmer than usual, spring bait fish and insects are not moving around slowly they are full of life and all over the place!   Get you small bait selection ready and enjoy the results they will bring.

Hope you found this post helpful and may tight lines find you this spring!

AMFisH daily blog post – don’t put the important things on hold for too long.

Hi fellow AMFisHers!   I decided to write this post after having had a conversation with my website gwizard recently, it’s was a good reminder chat for him about life stuff.

I have always said if you really want to do something, see someone or go somewhere you will make the time to do it, but is seems as though we allow that busy life to make us put these things off for longer than we think.

Over the years I have strived to “always” make the time for visiting those who are important to me, doing the things I love so much, WHY well we never know how much time we have so constantly putting things off for long periods of time while saying oh yeah I really need to visit so and so I keep putting it off.

How many times can you say that to yourself before actually taking action?  I guess this is more of a reminder post to all of you out there, as life does get busy no doubt about it, BUT when do we actually stop using that as the excuse?

When we partake in those fun visits, or coffee with a friend, hike with a loved one, we end up in a better place in life, a place that allows us to focus on the really important things in life!

We can’t buy time everyone so use the time you have wisely and get out there creating those memories, laughing up a storm over past memories, these are the true rich moments in life.

Hope you enjoyed this post!
