Fishing Dictionary Goes Online
We just launched our fishing dictionary and we will continue to add to this section every week. There are so many fishing related words and we wanted to help educate the fishing and boating community through our website. As we continue to add new fishing terms, we will start linking to these words through various places on our website. For example, if we mention School of Fish, we will have a link that will send you to its page with a definition.
You can access our fishing dictionary page from our home page or by searching our website.

Inshore Saltwater Fishing - Catching your own live bait
I spent some time this morning watching some of the videos on www.myoutdoortv.com and I found a great video from Captain Joe Ward with some helpful tips for catching live bait. He uses a few different methods such as traps, sabiki rigs and a cast net. It’s a pretty short clip. Take a look.
