Weight vs. length of walleyes
Walleye (Sander vitreus, formerly Stizostedion vitreum) is a freshwater perciform fish native to most of Canada and to the northern United States. It is a North American close relative of the European pikeperch. The walleye is sometimes also called the yellow walleye to distinguish it from the blue walleye, which is an extinct subspecies formerly found in the southern Great Lakes.
In some parts of its range, the walleye is known as the colored pike, yellow pike or pickerel (esp. in English-speaking Canada), although the fish is not related to other species of pikes which are members of the family Esocidae.
Genetically, walleyes show a fair amount of variation across watersheds. In general, fish within a watershed are quite similar and are genetically distinct from those of nearby watersheds. The species has been artificially propagated for over a century and has been planted on top of existing populations or introduced into waters naturally devoid of the species, sometimes reducing the overall genetic distinctiveness of populations.

 Meaning of the name

The common name, "walleye", comes from the fact that their eyes, like those of lions, reflect white light. This "eyeshine" is the result of a light-gathering layer in the eyes called the tapetum lucidum, which allows the fish to see well in low-light conditions. In fact, many anglers look for walleyes at night since this is when major feeding patterns occur. The fish's eyes also allow them to see well in turbid waters (stained or rough, breaking waters), which gives them an advantage over their prey. Thus, walleye anglers will commonly look for days and locations where there is a good "walleye chop" (i.e., rough water). This excellent vision also allows the fish to populate the deeper regions in a lake, and they can often be found in deeper water, particularly during the warmest part of the summer.[citation needed]

 Physical description

Walleyes are largely olive and gold in colour (hence the French common name: dorĂ© — golden). The dorsal side of a walleye is olive, grading into a golden hue on the flanks. The olive/gold pattern is broken up by five darker saddles that extend to the upper sides. The colour shades to white on the belly. The mouth of a walleye is large and is armed with many sharp teeth. The first dorsal and anal fins are spinous, as is the operculum. Walleyes are distinguished from their close cousin the sauger by the white colouration on the lower lobe of the caudal fin which is absent on the sauger. In addition, the two dorsals and the caudal fin of the sauger are marked with distinctive rows of black dots which are absent from or indistinct on the same fins of walleyes.[1]

 Length and weight

Walleyes grow to about 80 cm (31 in) in length, and weigh up to about 9 kg (20 lb). The maximum recorded size for the fish is 107 cm (42 in) in length and 11.3 kilograms (25 lb) in weight. The growth rate depends partly on where in their range they occur, with southern populations often growing faster and larger. In general, females grow larger than males. Walleyes may live for decades; the maximum recorded age is 29 years. In heavily fished populations, however, few walleye older than five or six years of age are encountered. In North America, where they are heavily prized, their typical size when caught is on the order of 30 to 50 cm (12 to 20 in), substantially below their potential size.
As walleye grow longer, they increase in weight. The relationship between length and weight is not linear. The relationship between total length (L) and total weight (W) for nearly all species of fish can be expressed by an equation of the form
W = cL^b \,
Invariably, b is close to 3.0 for all species, and c is a constant that varies among species. For walleye, b = 3.180 and c = 0.000228 (with units in inches and pounds).[2]
The relationship described in this section suggests a 50 cm (20 in) walleye will weigh about 1.5 kg (3.3 lb), while a 60 cm (24 in) walleye will likely weigh about 2.5 kg (5.5 lb).

 Reproduction

In most of the species' range, the majority of male walleyes mature at age three or four. Females normally mature about a year later. Adults migrate to tributary streams in late winter or early spring to lay eggs over gravel and rock, although there are open water reef or shoal spawning strains as well. Some populations are known to spawn on sand or on vegetation. Spawning occurs at water temperatures of 6 to 10 °C (43 to 50 °F). A large female can lay up to 500,000 eggs, and no care is given by the parents to the eggs or fry. The eggs are slightly adhesive and fall into spaces between rocks. The incubation period for the embryos is temperature-dependent, but generally lasts from 12 to 30 days. After hatching, the free-swimming embryo spends about a week absorbing the relatively small amount of yolk. Once the yolk has been fully absorbed, the young walleye begins to feed on invertebrates, such as fly larvæ and zooplankton. After 40 to 60 days, juvenile walleyes become piscivorous. Thenceforth, both juvenile and adult walleyes eat fish almost exclusively, frequently yellow perch or ciscoes, moving onto bars and shoals at night to feed. Walleye also feed heavily on crayfish, minnows, and leeches.

 As food

The walleye is considered to be a quite palatable freshwater fish, and, consequently, is fished recreationally and commercially for food. Because of its nocturnal feeding habits, it is most easily caught at night using live minnows or lures that mimic small fish. Most commercial fisheries for walleye are situated in the Canadian waters of the Great Lakes, but there are other locations, as well.

 Fishing

Because walleyes are popular with anglers, fishing for walleyes is regulated by most natural resource agencies. Management may include the use of quotas and length limits to ensure that populations are not over-exploited. As one example, in the state of Michigan, walleye shorter than 15 in (38 cm) may not be legally kept, except in Lake St. Clair and the St. Clair River where fish as short as 13 in (33 cm) may be taken.
Since walleyes have excellent visual acuity under low illumination levels, they tend to feed more extensively at dawn and dusk, on cloudy or overcast days and under choppy conditions when light penetration into the water column is disrupted. Although anglers interpret this as light avoidance, it is merely an expression of the walleye's competitive advantage over its prey under those conditions. Similarly, in darkly stained or turbid waters, walleye tend to feed throughout the day. In the spring and fall walleye are located near the shallower areas due to the spawning grounds; and they are most often located in shallower areas during higher winds due to the murkier, higher oxygenated water at around six feet deep.[3] On calm spring days the walleye are more often located at the deep side of the shoreline drop-off and around shore slopes around or deeper than ten feet.[4]
"Walleye chop" is a term used by walleye anglers for rough water typically with winds of 10 to 25 km/h (6 to 16 mph), and is one of the indicators for good walleye fishing due to the walleye's increased feeding activity during such conditions. In addition to fishing the "Walleye chop", night fishing with live bait can be very effective.
"Walleye Jig" is another very effective approach for catching the fish. Simply tie on a 3/8 ounce jig and attach a minnow. Lower the jig to the bottom of a sandy bottom stream and slowly move the jig up and off the bottom. When you feel a tug – wait a moment, as walleye are cautious fish and it may just be nibbling at the bait, then hook the fish. Calm water in an anchored boat is ideal for this approach. [5]

 Minnesota and the South Dakota

The walleye is the state fish of Minnesota and South Dakota. It is very popular with Minnesota residents; more walleye is eaten in Minnesota than in any other jurisdiction of the United States. Both Garrison and Baudette, Minnesota, claim to be the "Walleye Capital of the World," each with a large statue of the fish.[6]

 Saskatchewan

On January 4, 2005, Father Mariusz Zajac from Carrot River caught an 18.30 lb (8.30 kg) walleye while ice fishing on Tobin Lake. This walleye stands as the world record for ice fishing and had a girth of 22.5 in (57 cm) and was 36.5 in (93 cm) in length.[7] In 2008, the government of Saskatchewan declared the walleye to be the province's official fish.[8]

Invasive lionfish making Florida home

Published: Dec. 27, 2011 at 1:16 PM
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Dec. 27 (UPI) -- Lionfish, an invasive species from the South Pacific, have taken up residence in the waters of South Florida's estuaries and are there to stay, scientists say.
With no natural predators in the area, the fish are a threat to the ecosystem as the gobble up native shrimp, crab and reef fish, marine researchers say.
An aquarium favorite, lionfish have been spreading for years from South Florida north to the Carolinas, south to Venezuela, east to the Caribbean islands and west along the Gulf Coast to Texas, the South Florida Sun Sentinel reported Monday.
Increasing numbers are becoming homebodies in the waters off Florida's Palm Beach Country, scientists say.
"These fish really stay put, at least in our system," Zachary Jud, a marine scientist at Florida International University, said. "We've had some fish that stayed in the same spot for months. The greatest distance some moved was a couple hundred feet."
Because adult lionfish tend to stay in one place, efforts to keep down their numbers by capturing or spearing them have been successful.
But care is needed as they can deliver a painful sting, although the venom is not fatal.
"We would encourage anyone not properly equipped to not handle the fish at all," said Lad Akins of the Reef Environmental Education Foundation, a marine-conservation group that organizes lionfish roundups. "I would advise fishermen who catch one to hold the fish over a cooler or bucket and cut the line."

PANCING UDANG GALAH

PANCING UDANG GALAH


1.Habitat
Udang galah amat gemar mendiami habitat sampah sarap dan air sedikit berarus kerana di situ dikatakan banyak makanan. Bagaimanapun, ada pendapat mengatakan di mana ada buaya di situ akan udang.
Bersampan semasa memancing udang galah dikatakan lebih mendatangkan hasil berbanding memancing dari tebing. Jika bersampan............ akan memudahkan pergerakan untuk mencari lubuk udang.

2.Tabiat
Udang juga mempunyai tabiat gemar berkumpul. Apabila pemancing melabuhkan umpan hampir setengah jam tidak mendatangkan hasil, bererti kena beralih ke lubuk lain. Biasanya udang aktif mencari makanan selepas musim hujan dan panas terik dalam masa seminggu. Itulah masa terbaik untuk memancingnya.
Ada juga pemancing yang mengguna pakai petunjuk daun getah gugur menandakan bermulanya musim udang galah. Memancing udang galah memerlukan kepakaran tersendiri. Pada masa yang sama udang galah juga bijak melepaskan diri daripada mata kail.
3.Joran
Joran antara faktor utama kejayaan memancing udang galah. Anda tidak perlu joran sepanjang 5 hingga 6 kaki. Sebaliknya hanya sekadar 1 hingga 1.1 meter. Pastikan hujung joran halus bagi memudahkan pemancing mengesan udang menarik atau memakan umpan.
4.Tali utama
Kalau boleh gunakan tali yang berdiameter halus supaya kita dapat merasai kenikmatan memancing udang galah. Kita hanya perlukan tali yang berkekuatan 10 hingga 15 paun sahaja untuk udang galah. Bagi yang sering mengalami putus perambut akibat gigitan buntal, anda dinasihatkan menggunakan perambut tali benang.
5.Mata kail
Mata kail udang terbahagi kepada 2 jenis iaitu berduri pandan dan tidak berduri. Bagi yang mempunyai, peluang udang untuk melepaskan diri adalah tipis dan sebaliknya bagi mata yang tidak berduri. Bagi memancing udang galah di sungai, mata kail berduri perlu bersaiz 1/0,1 dan 2. Bagi mata kail biasa adalah bersaiz 5 hingga 8.

6.Batu ladung
Penggunaan batu ladung amat penting apabila memancing di sungai kerana kebiasaan udang galah menghuni di dasar yang sedikit berarus. Jika lubuk itu tenang batu bersaiz 2, 3 dan 4 sudah mamadai. Jika sungai berarus, batu bersaiz 5 hingga 8 amat sesuai.
7.Teknik memancing udang
Sudah menjadi tabiat udang galah memakan umpan sekadar mencuit-cuit seperti anak ikan mengacau umpan (ngutis - dialek Kelantan). Untuk menarik mangsa joran diangkat perlahan-lahan. Jangan sesekali kita menyentap seperti memancing ikan. Begitu juga........ jangan menarik terlalu perlahan kerana udang akan terlepas. Ada juga udang galah agresif yang menarik umpan seperti ikan.
8.Umpan
Pemilihan umpan yang sesuai antara faktor yang menghasilkan tangkapan yang lumayan. Kebanyakan pemancing menggunakan perumpun kerana ianya amat efektif. Ada juga pemancing yang menggunakan umpan cacing, anak udang dan hati ayam yang hiris kecil.
.........
selamat menduga si sepit biru.

In Spain, no one can hear you scream

In Spain, no one can hear you scream: Mediterranean fish under threat from gruesome 'Alien' parasite which eats their tongues then lives in their mouths

A gruesome ‘Alien-like’ parasite which eats the tongues of bream and then 'replaces' them in its victims mouths is spreading in the Mediterranean.
Almost half the fish in some areas are infected with the parasite, which swims in through the gills of young fish, then takes up position on top of the tongue, feeding on blood and growing.
Researchers found that the 'cerathotoa italica' parasite - named 'Betty' by the scientists - is spreading fastest in heavily fished waters.
Named ÂżBettyÂż by the scientists, ceratothoa italica breeds by entering the mouth through the gills. A female parasite will then take up position on the tongue, virtually replacing it, and feeding on blood as it grows to adulthood
Named ¿Betty¿ by the scientists, ceratothoa italica breeds by entering the mouth through the gills. A female parasite will then take up position on the tongue, virtually replacing it, and feeding on blood as it grows to adulthood
Though the parasite poses no risk to humans, it stunts the growth of the fish, and lowers their life expectancy.
The researchers found that 'Betty' thrived in overfished areas. In a protected area near Spain, only 30% of fish were infected - in heavily fished Italian waters, 47% had fallen victim to the parasite.
Dr Stefano Mariani of the University of Salford said: ‘This is further evidence that human over-exploitation of fish stocks has adverse and far-reaching effects. Areas with poor regulation have smaller, younger fish and, as we’ve now demonstrated, higher and more harmful parasite infestations.'


‘Betty is quite gruesome and does remind you of the Alien films, but it’s a highly adapted and specialised animal which is very successful. Unfortunately, over-fishing upsets the balance of parasite and host and interferes with the whole eco-system.
‘It makes a lot of sense for protected areas to be established so we can safeguard both the quantity and the quality of the fish we eat.’

Salford’s Dr Stefano Mariani and colleagues from University College Dublin and the University of East Anglia inspected stocks of striped sea bream in two areas of the Mediterranean - a Spanish area protected from fishing and heavily fished Italian waters.

The researchers also found that the parasite had worse effects on fish from heavily fished areas - while the parasite infection sigthnificantly stunted growth and condition in the Italian fish, it had no detectable effects on the physiology of the Spanish ones.

Chubut River(Fishing Destination)

 


A valley at Chubut River
The Chubut River (Spanish: RĂ­o Chubut, Welsh: Afon Camwy) is located in the Patagonia region of southern Argentina. Its name comes from the Tehuelche word chupat, which means "transparent". The Argentine Chubut Province, through which the river flows, is named after it. Welsh settlers called the river "Afon Camwy," meaning "twisting river" in English.
The river is generally shallow and its water flow can vary from 4 to 30 m³/s between drought and flood. Flooding made the lands beside the river fertile and important for agriculture. The river is a popular trout fishing destination.

 Course

The river flows eastwards for approximately 800 kilometres (500 mi), from the Andes to the Atlantic Ocean, emptying at Engaño Bay near Rawson. The main arm of the Chubut originates in Carreras, Río Negro Province, and its basin covers a large area of the western Andean foothills between Bariloche and Esquel. It is also fed by the Chico River. The many branches join some distance before the small town of Piedra Parada, where the terrain becomes the flat plain characteristic of Argentinian Patagonia. It flows east and passes by the town of Paso del Sapo, where it turns southeast through relatively unpopulated central Chubut. It meets Highway 25 and turns east once again.

 Hydroelectric power

A 255 m (837 ft) long concrete dam blocks the river some 120 kilometres (75 mi) west of Trelew. This dam, named after palaeontologist Florentino Ameghino, was designed in 1943 by engineer Antonio Domingo Pronsato; work started on 19 April 1963. The artificial lake covers 70 square kilometres. The plant, which uses a 56 m (184 ft) high waterfall with a flow of 150 m³/s (5,300 ft³/s) and three turbines, provides energy to Pico Truncado, Caleta Olivia, Comodoro Rivadavia, and the lower Chubut Valley.

 History

In the 19th century, Welsh settlers arrived in Chubut and established a colony, "Y Wladfa"/"Colonia Gales", in the valley of the Chubut river. Today, the Welsh language and Welsh tea houses are common in several towns, many of which have Welsh names. Dolavon and Trelew are examples of Welsh towns.

European perch
Conservation status
Scientific classification
Kingdom:Animalia
Phylum:Chordata
Class:Actinopterygii
Order:Perciformes
Family:Percidae
Genus:Perca
Species:P. fluviatilis
Binomial name
Perca fluviatilis
Linnaeus, 1758
Perca fluviatilis, commonly known as the European perch, is a predatory species of perch found in Europe and Asia. In some areas it is known as the redfin perch or English perch, and it is often known simply as perch. The species is a popular quarry for anglers and has been widely introduced beyond its native area, into Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa. They have caused substantial damage to native fish populations in Australia.
European perch are greenish with red pelvic, anal and caudal fins. They have five to nine dark vertical bars on their sides.
European perch can vary greatly in size between bodies of water. Perch can live for up to 22 years, and older perch are often much larger than average; the maximum recorded length is 60 cm (24 in). The British record is 2.8 kg (6 lb 2 oz), but they grow larger in mainland Europe than in Britain, and to as much as 9 kilograms (20 lb) in Australia.[1][full citation needed] As at Nov 2010 the official all tackle world record stands at 1.5 kg (3 lb 5 oz)[clarification needed] although individual records from various areas record larger fish.[2][3]
The perch spawns (in the Northern Hemisphere) at the end of April or beginning of May, depositing the eggs upon water plants, or the branches of trees or shrubs that have become immersed in the water; it does not come into condition again until July. The eggs have been known to stick to the legs of wading birds and then transferred to other waters that the birds visit.[citation needed]

 Taxonomy

The first scientific description of the river perch was made by Peter Artedi in 1730. He defined the basic morphological signs of this species after studying perch from Swedish lakes. Artedi described its features, counting the fin rays scales and vertebrae of the typical perch.
In 1758 Carl Linnaeus named it Perca fluviatilis.[4] His description was based on Artedi's research.

 Fishing

Baits for perch include minnows, or brandling, red, marsh, and lob worms, shrimps and artificial lures. The tackle needed is fine but strong. Artificial lures are also effective, particularly for medium-sized perch.

 Aquarium care

Keeping of perch requires a large tank and a suitable diet. The tank needs to be thickly planted with plants such as Elodea, Egeria and others. Perch can be kept in ponds with other appropriate fish; as with most fish, larger ones may consume fry if they are available. A suitable diet is earthworm, flakes, silversides and frozen foods such as blackworm. If fed properly Perch tend to phase away from small fish.[clarification needed]

 Relation to the yellow perch

Because of their similar appearance and ability to cross-breed, the yellow perch (Perca flavescens) has sometimes been classified as a subspecies of the European perch, in which case its trinomial name would be Perca fluviatilis flavescens.

First-time angler catches record-breaking fish in English Channel

First-time angler catches record-breaking fish in English Channel

Angler Chris Proctor has broken the record for the biggest cod caught in the English Channel - on his first ever sea fishing trip.

Chris ProctorAngler Chris Proctor caught the cod on his first sea fishing trip (Picture: BNPS)
Sea dogs might find it fishy but this beast was a case of beginners’ luck.
Angler Chris Proctor has broken the record for the biggest cod caught in the English Channel – on his first sea fishing trip.
The 31-year-old’s 19.75kg (43lb 9oz) catch was so large he thought his hook was caught on a shipwreck, until his reel began spinning.
An epic 30 minute battle ensued until the property agent landed the monster fish. But not before his rod jammed into his stomach, leaving him covered in bruises.
‘I almost didn’t go on the trip because I had so much work on but the rest of the guys talked me into it – thank god they did,’ he said. ‘None of us could believe our eyes when we got it on the boat and saw it’s size. It was an amazing experience and a once in a lifetime catch.’
The cod was caught 32km (20 miles) off Pevensey Bay in East Sussex last week. The previous record for the Channel was 15.9kg (35lb) in 2000.
Mr Proctor, from Stoke Gabriel, Devon, has feasted his catch since.
‘I’ve had pan fried cod, cod in batter, a beautiful fish stew and a fish pie. I can’t tell you how much freezer space it has taken up,’ he added.
Mel Russ, editor of Sea Angler, said: ‘It is a stupendous achievement.’
The British record cod is 26kg (58lb), which was landed off Whitby, North Yorkshire, in 1992.

Persediaan Pancing Laut Dalam

Persediaan Pancing Laut Dalam
Umpan -
Jenis terbaik ialah bekalan ikan segar atau hidup yang diperoleh atau dipancing ketika perjalanan ke destinasi, membelinya di pasar atau di jeti. Umpan jenis ini adalah prasyarat utama kejayaan misi memancing kerana kesegaran dan keberkesanannya. Jenis umpan seperti ikan pelaling (murah), ikan tongkol dan sotong pasar mencukupi untuk setiap trip.


Kekili -
Lumrah kalau memancing laut dalam bukan saja pancing dasar menjadi tapi teknik hanyut, jigging, popping dan tundaan. Jadi, tiga set kekili adalah minimum dan kalau mampu bawa peralatan gantian untuk menghadapi sebarang kerosakan atau kehilangan (jatuh dalam laut).


.
Joran -
Untuk pancing dasar dan pancing tundaan sesuai kalau kita membawa panjang 2 meter (5.5 kaki) hingga 2.5 meter (6.5 kaki) dengan aksi berat 30/80 paun, 50/80 paun atau PE4-PE8. Jika meminati jigging, guna joran kekuatan PE3-PE5 panjang 2 meter sangat sesuai untuk ikan seperti cupak, tenggiri dan gerepoh bawah 15kg. Kalau GT bersaiz XXXL elok gunakan joran berkekuatan sehingga PE8 dengan panjang yang sama atau 2 meter. Bagi popping, oran 2.5 meter sangat efektif untuk lontaran jauh. Sedia satu joran selingan berkekuatan PE1 hingga PE3 untuk memancing apollo, anak ikan atau untuk digunakan sebagai pancing candat (bagi mendapatkan umpan sotong hidup).
.


Saiz tali -
Ini ada hubungan dengan kapasiti atau had muatan kekili berserta kekuatan maksimum drag yang terbina di dalamnya. Lumrahnya tali utama untuk pancing dasar dan menunda ialah 80 paun hingga 100 paun untuk tali utama kalau menggunakan tali sulam atau 50 paun hingga 80 paun jika menggunakan tali tangsi. Bagi kekili yang digunakan aktiviti jigging dan popping pula perlu dipadankan dengan tali sulam (braided) 60 paun hingga 80 paun dan disambung dengan tangsi kekuatan 80 paun hingga 100 paun sepanjang tiga meter sebagai perambut serap kejutan (shock leader).
.
Batu ladung -
Penggunaan batu ladung kalau dibandingkan antara Pantai Barat dan Pantai Timur sedikit berbeza. Kalau di Pantai Barat had maksimum saiz 32 (1.5kg) di Pantai Timur pula had maksimum saiz 24 (1kg). Ini berdasarkan arus di pantai barat lebih deras berbanding pantai timur kerana laluan yang sempit. Di Sabah dan Sarawak, arus laut lebih kurang seperti Pantai Timur Semenanjung kerana berada di kawasan yang sama – Laut China Selatan. Biasanya memancing di laut hanya perlu membawa ladung mati bersaiz dari saiz 8 hingga 24 atau 32 jika di Pantai Barat. Jumlah batu ladung yang perlu dibawa pula bergantung kepada masa memancing dan yang penting ialah sentiasa ada ladung tambahan jika berlaku tali pancing sangkut atau putus.
.



Perambut -
Pastikan setiap trip laut dalam set perambut perlu dibawa berkekuatan minimum 30 paun hingga 100 paun tidak kira apa jenama atau harga. Gunakan perambut cerah atau sedikit kebiruan serta kehijauan dan seakan-akan warna air. Ada pemancing gemar menggunakan perambut keras dan sebaliknya. Kedua-duanya boleh digunakan asalkan perambut yang tahan kejutan (shock leader), tahan calar, tidak mudah kerinting atau bersimpul. Ada juga perambut di katakan memiliki tahap penglihatan amat rendah atau tiada langsung dalam air. Perambut ini juga dikenali sebagai perambut hantu (zero visibility).


Teknik -
Jigging dan popping boleh gunakan perambut kasar sama ada siang dan malam tanpa masalah. Teknik memancing sudah nyatakan dan setiap jawapan bermula daripada pancing dasar (bottom) tundaan (trolling), hanyut (drifting), pertengahan air (mid), jigging, popping dan candat sekiranya perlu mendapatkan umpan sotong. Satu lagi perkara yang merujuk tentang teknik memancing ialah jarak perambut untuk pancing dasar ialah 2 hingga 3 depa diikat pada 2 mata kail 1/0 di depan dan 3/0 @ 4/0 di hujungnya. Atau mengunakan teknik apollo 2 mata jika kawasan berlabuh adalah karang tinggi.


Waktu -
Saya tidak dapat nyatakan dengan tepat kerana ia perlu dirujuk lokasi yang bakal dikunjungi. Lebih afdal kalau kita minta khidmat nasihat dan pandangan kaki pancing yang pernah berkunjung di kawasan tertentu atau tepat minta pandangan tekong yang bakal kita tempah. Untuk masa pula, ikan lebih aktif dan galak waktu malam hari dan setiap kali berlaku perubahan arus. Ketika tiada arus ikan biasanya pasif walaupun paparan pada sonar terdapat banyak ikan di bawah. Jadi pedoman sampingan ialah rujuk jadual pasang surut (masa) untuk satu-satu lokasi yang bakal kita kunjungi. Set penggera pada telefon bimbit untuk setiap kali akan berlaku perubahan pasang surut air kerana waktu inilah kita perlu berjaga-jaga dengan lenturan yang bakal dikecapi di hujung joran.

Sognsvann (or Sognsvannet[1]) is a 3.3km circumference lake just north of Oslo, Norway.
Lying just within the greenbelt around Oslo, the lake is a popular recreational area, used as a camping, picnicking and bathing destination for the residents of Oslo during the summer, as well as a cross-country skiing, skating and ice fishing destination in the winter. The trail around it is used for walking or jogging all year. Cycling around the lake is prohibited due to large number of people covering this road on foot. Disabled access is good to and around the lake.
Part of the lake's popularity stems from its easy access from Oslo; Sognsvann station, located on the south end of the lake, is the final stop on line 3 on the Oslo T-bane.
Svartkulp ("The black pool"), a small forest lake which is one of three nudist beaches in Oslo, lies a few hundred meters to the east of Sognsvann. The geographical center of Oslo municipality and county lies in the middle of this pool.

A police spokesman told AFP a local resident in the village of Unieux in south-central France called police to report having seen several people dump a body wrapped in a sheet in the Loire River on Thursday.
He called police after hearing reports that a 39-year-old woman had gone missing in the region.
But when police investigated they discovered the body, still lying on the river bank, was in fact the corpse of the enormous fish.
The police spokesman said it was not known why the fish's body had been dumped and that it was left at the site.
