Despite cold, fishing still improving
Capt. George Tunison
This week the fishing continues to improve and even though the nights are still very cold, the day’s sun is becoming more intense. Spring is right around the corner.
We are starting to see limited amounts of bait move into the area along with reports of a small kingfish migration off the beaches. Speaking of mackerel, if you don’t know the best way to add a small piece of wire leader to your fishing line, do yourself a favor and learn the Albright Knot. This knot is easy to tie and a must for Spanish and king mackerel fishing.
Go to www.netknots.com for instructions on tying this proven knot. Netknots.com is a great animated knot tying site that allows you to watch knots being tied and explains in detail their uses. Being an animated site you can watch your new knot being tied over and over so even the most fumble-fingered angler can learn.
Another great knot information resource is the DVD produced by Mark Sosin. (New items for kayak fishing
My first craft was a wide bottom river canoe that I inherited from my cousin. It was as big as a battleship and two people could stand up in it and cast. Even though I’m a dedicated saltwater angler and guide, like many fishermen I was raised on freshwater bass fishing. Joined bass clubs, fished many B.A.S.S. Stalking skinny, clear water permit and bonefish in the Keys and far away island chains usually is a challenge best done in shallow draft skiffs or by wading very quietl. Manabu Kurita and George Perry have one thing in common. They both caught a world record largemouth bass. During cold months in Florida novice or visiting anglers often ask where is the best place to catch a nice snook, tarpon, or even a big jack.

Record bass officially ruled a tie
Perry caught his in a Georgia lake in June of 1932 and Kurita bagged his trophy 77 years later — July 2, 200.River is a gold mine in the cold
I usually tell them to head to Costa Rica or Belize.
