A Guide to Non-Typical Catfish Fishing Techniques Part III
Method 2
The second method that works really well for me is drift
fishing. Lets start by explaining how drifting works. It's
really pretty simple: you cast out bait and drag it behind or
from the side of your boat while the wind pushes you along.
Where to Fish
The majority of Cat-men that I know all use the same rig,
although their tackle will differ from one guy to the next.
Whatever tackle they use, they are all dragging some kind of
bait on the bottom. The big difference between most ...

Sihanoukville, Cambodia - Mother Nature Playing Nightly
Sihanoukville is a sleepy beach town in Cambodia on the Gulf of
Thailand. In December, the beach is a great place to watch
Mother Nature do her thing in spectacular fashion.
Sihanoukville
Named after a Cambodian King, Sihanoukville isn't easy to get
to, but it is worth the hassle. If you're coming from Thailand,
the best choice is to cross the border at Koh Kong and grab a
boat to Sihanoukville. The boat takes roughly four hours, but
beats taking on Cambodian roads, which are pure hell. If ...

Xcaret, Mexico - Back To Nature or Maybe Not
Xcaret is located roughly 45 minutes south of Cancun, Mexico.
The park is advertised as an ecological and archaeological
Disneyland. While there is a definite back to nature feel to the
place, it is expensive and crowded with more than a slight
overtone of commercialism.
Xcaret
Pronounced 'esh'car..it', Xcaret is an extremely popular tourist
resort, perhaps the biggest one in Mexico. At first glance, the
overall impression is extremely impressive. The park contains
beaches, snorkeling areas, ...

Seven Tips for Organized Holiday Travel
Traveling for the holidays? Here are seven tips for organized
packing and traveling.

wrinkles.

All You Need to Know About Travel Humidors
When humidors where first created by Zino Davidoff in the early
20th century, they were large cellar humidors which certainly
made for restricted travel. One now had the ability to strive
for the perfect cigar, but only from home. Most people would
agree that the feasibility of traveling with a large room did
not exist, and still does not, even today. A dilemma arose as to
how to preserve a moist cigar while traveling.
Early models of travel humidors were patterned after air-tight
cases in ...

An Easier Way To Recover Treasure On The Beach
treasure hunters know that the wet sand at the edge of the
beach is the best place to find valuable treasure. However, the
ocean seems like it always doesn't want to give up this
treasure. Inevitably, as soon as we detect a good target, and
began to dig the target, the water rises making it difficult, if
not impossible, to recover the target. Even with the best scoops
available, it is sometimes very difficult and frustrating to try
to recover targets at the edge of the surf.
However, there is ...

A Guide to Non-Typical Catfish Fishing Techniques Part I
Introduction
Many of the people about to take one of my guided trips don't
believe that Catfish feed as aggressively as other game fish.
People are used to throwing out their bait and letting it set
while they wait. Some days this works and they don't have to
wait very long, but some days we all know that the wait can be
very long. This waiting is what encouraged me to try to catch
Blue Cats using other methods. Some techniques are passed down
from generation to generation and these tried and ...

of game fish available. Rainbow trout tend to be one of the most
sought after fish out there. Their meat is only one reason for
this as the thrill of catching this fish is far greater!

Spring and Pawl Drag Fly Fishing Reels
The first type of drag system is the traditional Spring-and
Pawl-drag. Just because this drag type if traditional doesn't
mean it's outdated. In fact, spring-and-pawl fly reels are ideal
for trout fishing, particularly when using light tippets. When
line is pulled out of a quality spring-and-pawl fly reel, it is
pulled out very smoothly indeed. There is no "jerkiness" or
"unevenness" in the tension that is applied to the line. The
line instead leaves the reel at a very smooth rate, without ...

are commonly known. I went in a single passenger Plane, just the

most of the so-called modernized breed of human couldn't tell

funny thing is, technically we now know more about what's there

imaginable: galaxies, nebulae and millions of stars close up.

Cities at Sea, Lots of Fun Jobs?

folks with money, the cruise industry today caters to a much
