How To Improve Your Weekend Carp Fishing Success Right Now! - By: Tim F. Richardson

If you are like most weekend anglers trying to fit fishing in between all kinds of other time-consuming activities, you will know that weekend fishing can be a challenge in terms of achieving really good consistent catch results. But there are many unique tips you can exploit that can seriously multiply your chances and create totally unique opportunities for you that make catches much easier for you compared to other fishermen so read on for them now!

First think about the fish and focus on the fish. Do not think about outside influences not connected with your fish in your water directly. For instance if you have read a carp magazine in the previous week and want to try out a new bait and rig and method because it says its really good, do not act on it. Instead visit your lake mid-week if at all possible in order to learn more about the entire environment the fish are in.

The more you take in the more you form a big picture, a 4 dimensional picture of what is going on in your water, and on the banks. I say a 4 dimensional big picture because this part is you; your thought in response to what you see and feel will influence your thoughts and these will directly influence how you fish. The more you have this kind of biofeedback going on the more suitable and appropriate your fishing will be to the moment in time and the fishing situation right now in the present.

I say this because masses of anglers are fishing in the past thinking that worked previously will work today not realising that fish are such dynamically adaptive beings that they can evade your baits and rigs and methods if not purely because they recognise potentially dangerous scenarios. It is very simple to fool fish into feeling safe and so much more relaxed and more confident and far easier to hook. You remove as many danger reference points from your tackle, rigs, baits and lines and entire fishing approaches that you can possible remove!

The easiest way to fail when weekend fishing is to think that what worked before will work again and again. There are so many waters now under so much fishing pressure from anglers that the same rigs and baits will fail within a matter of weeks when enough fish have been hooked on them. This is no exaggeration on some waters. High nutritional baits are supposed to go on working for years but this is simply not true if you do not adapt their danger reference points to get around fish caution.

I know Gary Bayes of Nashbaits agrees with me on this one – because he basically told me this in so many words, based on his own bait testing experiences. But it is logical that if enough pressure is put on fish from any bait even if it is lobworms or maggots then fish will very soon become cautious and feed on such baits extremely differently (if they actually take such baits anymore at all,) following negative experiences having been hooked on them!

For example I can tell straight that a rig that has a worm on the hair as well as a cut-down pop-up boilie is going to have far more potential for fooling a very experienced and extremely wary cautious old fish, compared to a standard pop-up bait that such a fish has had many thousands of opportunities to deal with and so more easily avoid over the years!

New baits have the edge over baits that have been hooking fish and are used by the majority – of that there is absolutely no doubt. Also there is no doubt that the bigger fish in a water can very definitely be among first to succumb the fastest to newly introduced baits. I make my own homemade baits based on the fish first and not ingredients or recipes; such things are secondary. My main focus is on the properties and characteristics and modes of action of bait substances that get break down or bypass fish resistance to feeding which will naturally transform caution into confidence! What is your focus and how powerful is it; does it even make enough logical sense compared to other forms of focus?

Can you see how powerful this thinking approach is? Compare it to simply buying a bag of readymade baits or even committing to a bait long-term simply because a mate suggested you get on it because it is doing the business! Remember that any bait you can easily get hold of can usually be also exploited by anyone else on your lake – in direct competition to you; thus vastly reducing your chances of catching your target fish the more fish get hooked on that bait over time. This is a very major reason I hate to use readymade baits, but it is not just the unknown factors of who might have used the baits and lost their edge already even for one individual fish.

One of the incredibly important points about success with bait is that ideally they will not resemble any baits that have hooked fish before. If they do then chances are you have just lost huge advantages over the fish which you could have had and are free to everyone!

When you begin your entire fishing approach by thinking and experiencing your bait and rig and entire underwater scenarios just as closely as possible to how a fish might then you will catch loads more fish! Remember that fish sense things in water not in air. The colours and tones and tastes and flavours and smells and palatability of baits and sounds in water and feel and look of rig materials and main lines will be different to what you think they might be to a carp. In part this is because our senses are so vastly dulled compared to fish and we are adapted to live in air not water. Also baits look different to fish at a depth of perhaps 12 feet or 20 down after 12 hours immersion compared to what they might look like in a glass of clear water!

Although fish are more sensitive to different ends of the light spectrum compared to us and tones are very much more important to fish, remember that they do pick up on things most anglers just do not appear to be interested in. for instance the way they can detect weak electrical fields around leads and rigs and baits. The way light penetrates and diffuses in water, how it refracts in water, and how main lines and rig materials will not only not necessarily match the colours of bottom weed and silt and gravel etc, but that fish are perceiving things differently to us because they are acutely aware of tiny details in their environment.

OK so attention to detail is of primary importance and very many weekend anglers do not take anywhere enough care with this and simply copy other anglers and expect things to work out! Your bait recipes and modes of action teamed with how they are perceived by fish are of exceptional importance in actually achieving bites in the first place.

In maximising the impacts of your baits as being different and unique I will say now that I especially do not recommend using any rounded boilies or pellets at all and certainly not barrels or round baits. Why use things that lost their edge years ago if merely because of their basic shape? Sure rounded baits catch but part of that is because the vast majority of anglers insist on using them, but loads of other seriously successful alternatives exist!

Think about it; if you do things based on thinking from the perspective of fish then you are far more likely to succeed in short sessions and longer sessions anyway. If you are out of touch with fish you are really just hoping for some luck to come your way and just working on chance. But modern fishing can be very much about catching fish by design not luck.

For instance, if you do things in unique ways using the right information and knowledge, then you can set up your own feeding area that can out-compete even a natural hot-spot such as a significant bloodworm bed. This is no exaggeration, but it can take someone years to work out the basic bait principles for achieving such things to not only create but to maximise such feeding situations to your very own unique favour. But such edges make fishing success guaranteed!

Weekend catches can be extraordinary far more often when you think about things from differently from the far more detailed perspectives and senses of fish, and when you get and exploit the very best information on how fish really work!

The Weekend Golfers Short Game - By: D Fraser

If you’re like me, a weekend warrior golfer, then no doubt you struggle with your game from about 50 feet out into the green. Every time I hit my 2nd (or 3rd shot on a par 5) into the green and land it forty to sixty feet away I cringe at the thought of having to make a chip shot to land with in two putt range from the pin.

For most beginner to intermediate golfers chipping is a very difficult part of their game. This is for two reasons, it does require quite a bit of skill and we don’t practice it enough. What’s the number one thing most recreational golfers practice? Their drive right, we spend hours on end at the driving range trying straighten out our drives, get a few more yards out of it. Yet if we spent only half that time working on our short game we’d see amazing results in lower scores and increased accuracy.

Up to two thirds of our game is played in and around the green, yet most holes only have one drive (unless you put it in the woods or a water hazard), and of course par threes don’t even require a wood or long iron. Yet we continue to practice our drive, and not work on chipping.

I have a few theories about this, chipping isn’t as glamorous as using your driver, not as many people see you chipping as they do off the tee box so you want to look good for others, and you can’t brag that well about a perfect chip to putt in for par as you can about your 250 yard drive on number 7 this morning. How ever the smart amateur golfers will heed my warning when I say, practice makes perfect in golf, and practicing chipping and learning the skills needed to make chip shots consistently will reduce your handicap.

So what do you need to know to make great chip shots. The first thing is your skill set, know what your capable of don’t try to be super man recognize what you can and cannot do. For most beginner golfers using a hybrid club or fairway wood is best it allows you to keep good control of the ball and be consistent. If you’re a golfer in the high eighties or low nineties give your 8-iron a try, it’s a little more technical to chip the ball and roll it but with practice it can be mastered.

What so many of us do is go right for our pitching wedge, or sand wedge and try to flop the ball perfectly on the green and we end of sending it flying over the green, off to the side, or only 10 feet in front of us. Those clubs should be restricted to golfers under 80 to perfect. Again know your skill set, and practice practice practice. Remember spending time on that two thirds of your game will pay off.

Romantic Weekends Away For Travellers - By: Stuart Hely

Are you looking for travel ideas for a short break? Why not think about romantic weekends? Are you listening guys?

We're just home from a romantic getaway, and all of my friends are saying that my hubby should give seminars to the other husbands... so I decided I should write about it, and give you some tips and ideas. Of course, we don't have to lay all of this onto the guys... Ladies, you could plan a romantic weekend too. I mean, if he won't, you might as well take matters into your own hands... maybe he'll get the idea and plan the next one.

It doesn't have to be Valentines Day or your wedding anniversary or even a birthday.... it can be a more obscure event... or even just a romantic weekend getaway for no particular reason. That could win you big points!

What was the event for our romantic weekend? We celebrated the anniversary of when my hubby proposed to me. We went out to dinner at a little restaurant where we used to go all the time... but we hadn't been there in years. The next night we had a candle light dinner at home... then we drove to the spot where he actually proposed.... We picnicked there all those years ago, and that's what we did this time too.

Anniversaries are always good for romantic interludes. Your wedding anniversary, for example, but it could be the anniversary of your proposal like ours was, or the anniversary of your first date, or the day you met or when you bought your house... anything.

Do you feel like you're always doing something for the kids, and you never have any time for yourself? Don't wait for a special event. Get someone to watch the kids, and have a weekend just for yourselves. Go wine tasting and stay in a romantic little B&B. Head for the city and see a play or visit a museum and stay in a historic hotel. Find a resort and spa where you can both get a little pampering.

Or do like we did... We found a rustic little cabin at a lodge close to the spot where he proposed. It wasn't luxurious or expensive, but it did overlook the Pacific ocean; there was a little restaurant right there, and we had a wonderful sentimental weekend reminiscing about all the years we've had together.

You don't even have to go away. If you get that weekend all to yourself with no kids, no obligations, just do something romantic locally. Go to a dinner and a movie. How about a champagne picnic?

You could have a candlelight dinner at home, but if you do that, remember, the cooking and cleanup duties need to be shared. Make them fun to do together.... this is a romantic weekend remember.

We do love travel, but you don't always have to travel far away. We think even a weekend break like this can transport you out of your routine and refresh and revive you.

Oh, and what anniversary was it for us? Our 40th... and we'll celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary next year. You can bet it will be a whole year of romantic travels!
