Oh Where Oh Where Are Those Walleye Fish ?

Those that catch the most and biggest walleye fish have one word of advice “Walleye fish go deep. To catch Walleye successfully fish deep and deeper”. Just how big those Walleye are fish, where are the Walleye located and hiding, and lastly how far deep in the water and with what tackle?

To begin with what is a reasonable size of Walleye that you should reasonably expect to land on a fishing trip either with your fishing buddies and friends or your kids?

You may have heard of monster weighting 10 – 11 pounds however generally most of the Walleye fish caught by reasonable fisherman and sports anglers run in the ranges of 1 to 3 pounds weight. Which tackle is best for these size fish? You may need heavier tackle from time to time, or wished for it, if you catch those elusive really giant fish. However most get by well fishing light for Walleye with “medium tackle”. On top of that your fight to land that or those Walleye fish will be a lot more fun, challenging and extended in time durations. If you are after heavy Walleye and want to play it safe with lighter tackle then use a good, sturdy, heavy leader when setting up your tackle. Larger Walleye have good strong teeth. Your fishing monofilament line has a better chance of staying whole and intact with the use of a good leader. Otherwise that monster Walleye may well may off well off your line.

Fish as deep as you can for Walleye fish. Fish deep, look for drop-offs. If it is morning time – search out deep and deeper water that is shaded from the sun and sunlight. An experienced and discerning eye may spot the drop off, and ledges in the deep water. However nothing beats the ease of use, convenience, accuracy and thoroughness of a good electronic fish finder. Still if you are able to find a most competent experienced fisherman they may well prefer to do it the “old fashioned way”.

Walleye generally hug the bottom of the water only coming into the shallows at night, or on really overcast days. If you are fishing at night, which can often be the best and most productive Walleye fishing time ever – late at night or early am - that is from midnight to 3 am is when a good proportion of real trophy Walleye are caught and landed. This may well change and be afforded if a bright moon or cloudy water conditions prevail.

Walleye are not solitary fish but rather swim and congregate in schools. What this means is find one Walleye fish and you have found a whole major group or school of Walleye. Walleye fish like it deep and dark. They hug the bottom of Northern Canadian and Upper US lakes only coming into the shallows at night time or on heavily overcast days. Fish deep. Troll slowly over deep water either searching for drop offs and the ledges that indicate good drop off bottom positions ahead either with a fish finder or manually by site and conditions.

You will be rewarded by bigger and better Walleye fish counts as well as catches.

What The Fuss About Fish Tanks?

Fish tanks come in many shapes and sizes. It ranges from a small one-quart to a 55 gallon aquarium. The concept of fish tanks has changed over the years. It used to be viewed as a glass container for fishes, but now, a fish tank can also be viewed as an art, or an aqua furniture. For some homes, fish tank has become a design piece of art that is place in the living room. The focus is no longer the fish, a rather the fish tanks. These fish tanks can be designed to fit comfortably into a corner or all be recessed into a wall. Some fish tanks are built within the wall, framed by wood and appear to be a living painting.

And for some, the fish tanks are specially designed to feed into specific needs.

The materials used to build fish tanks have also changed over the years. The tradition material used to be glass. This is slowly replaced by molded acrylic as the primary material. The advantage to using this as a primary material is that it reduces the breakage danger, and prolong years of enjoyment with your fish tank.

Fish tanks are not complete without its accessories. These accessories not only helps decorates fish tanks, but it also helps to keep the fish healthy and happy. You do not require a huge investment if you have only a few fishes in a bowl. However, if you plan to raise bigger and more fishes, then you certainly needs more accessories for your fish tanks.

If your fish tanks hold 10 gallons or more of Water, then a water pump and filter will help to keep the water clean and moving. Otherwise, you would need to change the water frequently as they get it begins to get dirty easily. The water needs fresh air to be introduced constantly, otherwise the fish will suffocate. This is where the air filter comes in. The air filter helps to keep the air floating through the water constantly.

A light fixture that attaches to the top of the fish tanks help provides light into the water; it helps to keep the fish from sleeping all the time. If you live in an area where temperate changes constantly, then you may want to consider installing the heater to keep the water at a constant temperate. This will help to ensure that your fish won't be cooked as the water gets to hot or, becomes lethargic if the water gets too cold. The fish tanks accessories are pretty standard. But if you have unusual fish tanks shapes, then you will certainly need a manufacturer to design and build the accessories.

Given all the accessories, these fishes still need proper care. How healthy and happy your fishes are depend on the amount of time and effort you put into the care of the fishes and the fish tanks.
