Orlando Florida Fishing - Redfish Capital of the World
When visitors think of Orlando and Central Florida, they imagine the
exciting attractions, breath-taking roller coasters, and swimming with the
dolphins. What many people don't know is that fishing in the Orlando,
Florida area is just as exciting. The Central Florida East Coast is also
named the "Redfish Capital of the World". The area is beautiful, quiet,
and relaxing. It offers visitors a different experience of Central Florida
and the Orlando area. Orlando inshore saltwater fishing is in one word, "incredible." Within a
short drive from the area attractions, visitors can find some of the best
fishing in the state, not to mention the best Redfishing in the World. Just
45 minutes from Orlando, Florida is a fishing estuary, called Mosquito
Lagoon, that is second to none. This area of Central Florida offers both
beginners and expert anglers the opportunity to catch record sized
Redfish, Sea Trout, Snook, Tarpon and more. You're sure to see "tailing"
Redfish, Snook hiding in mangroves, rolling Tarpon, Sea Trout, as well
as Dolphins, Manatees and many other animals in their natural
environment. Redfish, one of the more popular fish species in the area, and one that
most anglers and fishing guides target, are exceptional fighters and can
be caught year round. Also known as Red Drum, these fish can exceed
forty plus pounds during the summer when they gather and spawn.
During the winter months, Redfish catches normally run in the three to
twelve pound range. Fishing guides can catch numerous Redfish per
charter, and stories of one hundred Redfish per day is not unheard of.
The crystal clear, gin like color of the water during the winter makes
sight fishing, and finding fish much easier for the trained eye. Guides on
the Lagoon have the ability to spot the fish much faster than an
inexperienced angler. There are many excellent fishing guides in Orlando and Central Florida.
Most are very competitive and offer a high quality, exhilarating fishing
experience. Hiring a professional guide to take you fishing gives you a
several tremendous benefits. 1. Fishing guides are out on the water almost daily and know where and
what the fish are biting. Let their expertise help you catch the "big one". 2. A Florida fishing license is not required when you're with a guide.
Professional guides have a license that covers up-to four people on
their boat. 3. You have use of their shallow water or "flats" boat including tackle,
bait, and all the appropriate equipment needed. Most fishing guides will
either get bait before launching the boat or they'll throw out their cast net
to get bait fish and fill up the live-well. Want to fly fish? They have the
gear and know what flies you should use. 4. Fishing guides will help the beginner angler with an instructional
charter that covers casting, working the lure and how to spot a fish.
Hiring a professional fishing guide will cost anywhere from $150 to $400
with options for a half day charter to an all day fishing excursion. It's
worth every penny. It's not just a day fishing, it's a great adventure on the
water. Every guide wants you to enjoy your day, and most importantly,
catch fish. Copyright 2005 Captain Tom Carver - http://www.orlando-fishing.com

Why Do I Fish?
As part of an email discussion list I'm part of, the subject of following our passions came up. I mentioned that one of my lifelong passions was fishing. I got the following reply...
General Overview About Trout Senses
When fly fishing for trout, it is of crucial importance to understand their senses. Trout are fish, after all, and make different use of their senses than we do. Understanding these senses can greatly increase the prospects of a successful fly fishing trip. Many anglers make the common mistake of thinking trout are not very smart. As far as hatchery born fish are concerned, this is mostly correct.
Are You Holding Your Mouth Right To Catch More Fish?
My young stepson and I was fishing at Rush Creek in Ohio and using the same rod and reel, line and lure. Everything was exactly the same, the problem was I had caught about a dozen bass and he hadn't caught any and we were only standing about 10 feet apart.

Selecting the Right Tackle
One of the most important things to consider when fly fishing is choosing your tackle the right way. Many people overlook this important factor and start with the wrong assumptions. They first buy the rod, then the line to match the rod, then the reel and then they buy the flies they will need to fish. The fact is the flies are the most important in determining weather or not you will be catching any fish.
The Ubiquitous Woolly Bugger
The ubiquitous Woolly Bugger, never quite spelled correctly to my eyes, appeals to the eyes of every gamefish imaginable. If I had one pattern to fish the rest of my life, no matter what the fish, no matter what the conditions, this would be it. Steelhead, Trout, Salmon, Bass, Shad, Pike, you name it, they will hit this pattern. And the best thing? Usually the fish will be bigger than average, the strikes harder than average, and the action better than average.
Local Bass Fishing
If you are like me, you love to fish at the drop of a hat. While I do plan fishing trips, I also like to go on a whim.
Fishing Charter Need To Know
There are several elements that go into creating the ideal charter fishing experience. The most important of these elements are not within the control of the charter service, captain, or the customers:
The Old Man And His Bluegills
I started fishing a little lake just south of Somerset, Ohio, called Clouse Lake about 35 years ago. Matter of fact, when I first started fishing it, I fished with a fly rod. One day, I was fishing and noticed this older gentleman trying to get a little plastic boat on his car after a hard day's fishing. He was using a fly rod too. We began chatting and discovered we lived about 10 miles from one another. He lived in Pleasantville. As the conversation closed, he said he would call me sometime and we would go fishing together. I thought "Yeah, I bet he calls me". Imagine my surprise when he called two days later and wanted to know if I wanted to go fishing with him the next day.
