COMMON CARP FISHING BAIT – Powerful Bait Detection Secrets!

What about common carp? It does seem that if anyone had gotten their baits really right then many more of those ‘un-caught monsters’ in lakes etc would appear as if by magic instead of remaining un-caught for years. The full impact of DNA differences between many commons and mirror carp on catches are something that is mostly totally underestimated as well as the very subtle but potent effects of food item electrical fields which may or may not be present in fishing baits...

Apparently human adults can detect 30,000 smells and a child 10,000, which shows this chemoreception changes even with us. Some ‘natural feeding’ common carp may literally have no need to develop a capacity to detect other smells or tastes other than the natural. According to its DNA programming it may only need to detect perhaps 500 natural tastes or smells to fully exploit its natural food resources. It seems logical then that they will not be at all aware that our angling baits are food wherever natural live food is not used is bait. (In the past, silk weed has been known to catch fish, why should this be a surprise?) My personal results using live natural baits on a hook rig with conventional boilie baits gives a strong argument for using these natural baits as part of the approach to catch rarely caught fish.

The electromagnetic field given off by a bait may well cause response by changing the electromagnetic state of chemoreception and other cells which pass on this ‘signal’ directly to the brain possibly more by electromagnetism and not electrochemistry. I have personal experience of giving natural healing energy and studies have proven the ‘Reiki’ energy transfer actually changes DNA in positive ways, just as air pollution and water pollution does in negative ways in humans. This is fact.

Common carp having different DNA to mirror carp can easily have different requirements or parameters of electromagnetic radiation which they are evolved to detect emitted from their natural food. In fact it is very frequent that rarely caught natural feeding commons are hooked on a lobworm, bunch of red worms or on maggots such as the legendary ‘Herman’ of Warmwell UK fame. Why? Perhaps it's not just the amino acids given off or the movement of the bait which is detected with natural baits, but even more importantly, the living organism's electrical field emitted.

We are all 'batteries' as such, and have our own electromagnetic fields. Those closest to the physical body are the strongest, but there are other levels or layers like the layers of an onion which are far more subtle as we get further away from our bodies. One explanation of light, although it is far from being understood, is that it is electromagnetic radiation.

Now anyone who has had an 'aura photograph' taken will notice that the energy patterns surrounding you change colour, intensity and size according to your physical, mental and spiritual state at the moment the picture is taken. The Russians had for years been ahead of the rest of the world regarding this whole field and have extremely sensitive advanced technology for measuring these energies. Measurement is possible of mythical energies like ‘orgone’ ‘chi’ or ‘prana’ (life force or universal energy) as in those involved in 'natural healing' for example as in acupuncture, therapeutic touch technique, spiritual healing, Reiki etc.

Similar energy is also emitted very strongly when a talented person is attempting telepathy or influencing movement of objects using their minds. In this case the most ancient part of the brain are used which is the least understood, although many gifted psychics have developed their ability following head trauma involving the right frontal lobe of the brain. The amazing abilities of sharks use of electromagnetism and dolphins’ use of sonic pulses in food’s favourable detection demonstrate brains’ amazing evolution and even unknown potentials.

But why should fish’s attraction to electromagnetism in the form of luminescent coloured or light emitting boilies, pellets and plastic baits (and even lures) surprise us? Well perhaps there is much more than merely detection involving the ‘curiosity factor.’ What about the particular link to the fact that certain natural fish food items emit bioluminescence including bacteria in the case of shellfish for example and even certain types of algae.

In more physical terms, many known and unknown substances given off by anglers touching baits may well be significant. Due to our modern diets there is every chance that acids and such like are present in the skin in some individuals more than others as we excrete toxins and overloads of chemicals as our bodies are constantly trying to cleanse themselves. The skin itself is an organ interacting with our bodies and the environment after all. Is it possible that we can actually enhance bait attractiveness by boosting them with light emitting bacteria as well as butyric acid and yeast alcohols etc just by touching our baits? Does this mean certain individuals have more suitable diets or body chemistry for enhancing their baits more than other people as part of the complex equation in their success?

A major factor in fishing bait and fish farming food is its energy value after assimilation. (Remember that some food actually can generate stress, which is very energy draining.) Stress is indirectly one of the biggest killers of modern humans so diet and food purity and quality is very important to health and healthy energy levels.

Look what happens to fish which get hooked on particular compounds which affect their brain chemistry in negative ways for them. Both tiger nuts and peanuts can affect carp health and healthy nutrient intake, when eaten in virtual exclusion of other foods in certain fishing waters. These baits obviously make them feel good, but are bad for their health, much like the conventional human western diets which often are depleted and not high enough in essential minerals and amino acids for example, required to prevent many major diseases. Hemp affects the brain too but hemp is an amazingly nutritionally packed food ideal for both carp and humans. Many carp anglers will use hemp as a significant ground bait ingredient regardless of the water, conditions, natural food or anything else with good reason.

Like us humans, fish have evolved to be extremely efficient at extracting energy from the most available foods in our natural environment. The fish’s entire body, ability to move, the eyes, digestive system and chemoreception mechanisms etc have all been extremely highly evolved and tuned for this purpose. Attempting to replicate live natural food factors such as amino acid profiles, vitamin and mineral content, live enzymes, proteins and lipids etc, will still not deliver to fish the same energy values of natural food. The energy field of such a bait will be utterly different too. In some aspects of aquaculture, fish are not even fed artificially, but are left to feed on the natural algae and other beneficial factors as results of correct sediment preparation and water characteristics in a raising pond.

So many reactions involve using energy to digest and assimilate the food ingested, with boilies and pellets no matter how much they are ‘digestible’ and pre-treated with enzymes, they may still provide less energy than natural food after assimilation. No bait has been discovered that truly solves the limiting effects of bait ingredients; the nitrogen and amino acids requirements and limiting effects of these artificial foods.

But this is obviously just the tip of the iceberg of important factors in baits to be taken very consistently over time. For example, fish like humans are very much composed of water and minerals. Perhaps the impact of minerals in baits and live food (including plant material) are far more significant regarding biological energy supply and electrical field type food detection than we yet know. For example, demand for live enzymes to promote efficient food digestion and assimilation, or calcium needed for fish scales in common carp...

Perhaps certain ingredients that improve the fish’s ability to detect food item energy fields is more significant an edge than is currently realized. E.g. using astralagus root to boost the fishes’ immune system and general health will improve detection performance. There is also the effects of anti-microbial compounds found in all kinds of plant extracts for example, which are seriously effective ‘investigation triggers’ in baits. Garlic and onion oil are famous for their healing properties and fish-catching record. Eugenol from clove bud oil for example, is highly recommended to anesthetize fish in transport and is a very well proven bait additive. Menthol is a special case too. There is certainly potentially more to bait than meets the nose!

Aquarium Fish: Suttonia

Recently, I’ve received a call from my fishy friend. I was told that he got two of the "red soapfish" in the shipment that just arrived from Indonesia. He said that the fish was clothed in bright red, with a clear white line in front of its head. The body was slender and very beautiful! After his explanation, I asked him to keep one for me. When I got home, and searching for some information about the species I found out that not many soapfish are the bright red color he described. At this point, I thought of the Dottyback and it allies. There was a general lack of information about this fish among Thai marine aquarists.

On the following day, I went to the shop in the early morning. As I stepped inside, my eyes caught two of the brightly color fish staying near the corner of the tank. These two fish were slender, a bright red color all over the body, and a white stripe on the forehead. That was the first time that I’ve seen this fish. I was surprised that it was a "Suttonia," one of the fish that I always dreamt about seeing. The fish’s condition was not so good, perhaps because the shop put the fish in a bright place without any hiding place. Their natural habitat is around 12-24 meters near a rocky cave, where they probably prefer a dimly lighted habitat.

The genus "Suttonia" is composed of two species, S. lineata and S. suttoni. For this Suttonia, at first I believed that it was S. suttoni because of the color and shape. But when I send the picture to a friend (a specialist), he suggested that it has more characteristics of S. lineata. S. suttoni is only known from the Western Indian Ocean, while S. lineata is a species that is widespread throughout the Indian Ocean, Hawaii, Philippines, and Indonesia. My friend also suggested that S. suttoni’sAndaman Sea, although no one has collected one there yet. These two species are very closely related in physical appearance. In my opinion, S. lineata seems to have a rounder body and shorter forehead than S. suttoni. Color is not a useful way to distinguish between these two species. habitat might extend to the

You may have noticed that there were only a few pictures of living Suttonia. In this case, I think that it is due to their secretive nature and that only a few have been introduced in Aquarium trade. When I brought the fish back home, I put him/her in a separate tank with a small and peaceful fish. At first, I was afraid that it would attack the small fish like larger dottybacks do. Since almost no information on this species is available both in books or on internet, I decided to put him/her in the tank and I was surprised that it lived happily together will small fish like the clown, damsel, and cardinal. The tank was arranged as a small cave and a lot of crevices for it to hide. Moreover, it was a peaceful and shy fish.

At first, I tried to feed him/her with live brine shrimp. Soon it became interested, but it took a lot of time for it to focus on its prey before capture. I tried with different kinds of food, like live glass shrimp to attract its attention and succeeded. The fish saw its prey and captured it in a second. Usually it will come out from the same crevice showing half of its head, observing its surroundings. This fish could be kept with corals, but not with shrimps and crabs. In my own opinion, I think that this fish needs time to focusing on its prey before it will eat it. So, if you put it in a huge tank with lots of fish I think that it would be surely starve to death.

From my observation, the fish will stay in one place and not go far away from its shelter. It will show only its face from the rock hole, similar to the Moray eel. So it would do great if the tank is fully arranged with enough live rock and cave for it to hide. But if you really want to have this fish, be sure that you think that it is worth the money that you’re going to spend for it – it’s an expensive fish.

Safety in Fishing

Fishing is a relaxing sport to enjoy with you family and friends on a "get-away-from-it-all" weekend. Of course, it is more desirable to do it safely and be aware of safety rules for everyone’s benefit.

It is important to start off a young angler with appropriate fishing gear for their age and size. Most young fishermen find it comfortable to use a 5’ or 5 ½’ light action fishing rod with a spin-cast reel. A 4 or 6 pound test strength line will work well with a small or medium sized bobber. Dad, Mom or Grandparents should stay close by to supervise and help when needed. It has been our experience that they really enjoy “doing it themselves”, until they get tangled up in a line that went the wrong way!

Here are some tips for the young and the more experienced anglers to remember. Be careful how you carry and cast your fishing pole. Sometimes one forgets the fishing pole is longer than you think and can easily strike someone in the face or elsewhere! Be sure you have plenty of open space around you so you can cast safely.

Be sure to throw any tangled or unused fishing line in the trash. Loose line can be dangerous for the water fowl or other wild animals.

Set a good example for the children and DON’T use your mouth to tie a knot around a sinker or to place a split shot on fishing line. You might accidentally swallow it—and ruin your fishing trip!

Be careful with those sharp fishing hooks—handle with extreme care! They are sharp, dangerous and could cause serious injury. You really don’t want to wind up in the local emergency room to have a hook removed from your hand! Been there, done that…and don’t want to do that again!!

Take care with fillet and pocket knives as they can be more dangerous than hooks. Keep them out of reach around young children (and some adults!)

Other equipment to consider, especially if you are fishing from a boat is a personal flotation device (life jacket). Do not fish in rivers or streams when they become flooded. Shore fisherman should also wear life jackets in case they should accidentally fall in.

Sunscreen is a must to protect your skin from harmful UV rays. Wear protective clothing and limit exposure to direct sunlight. Also wear sunglasses to protect your eyes.

Use insect repellant to reduce problems with bugs and insects. Carry a first-aid kit well stocked with items for cuts and other medical needs.

After all of this, remember to have some fun fishing among remembering all of these safety rules!! We want to remind everyone that you can have fun and be safe at the same time!

Three Good Reasons To Take Up Fishing

For the non-angler fishing can seem like a strange sport. It involves lots of waiting around on a river bank, possibly for whole days and nights, and the likelihood of getting cold and wet is very high. After all that, you may not even be rewarded for your patience and you might go home empty handed and disappointed. So why on earth would anyone be tempted to go fishing?

Every angler will all have his own theories as to why the sport is so popular, but it’s likely that they will include some, if not all, of the following aspects:

Weather

You can fish in any weather. In the summer, you’ll be hard pushed to find a more glorious way of spending your time. It’s hot, the birds are singing, and the countryside (and hopefully, the water) is teeming with wildlife. Even in the winter, however, fishing can be immensely enjoyable. You can get a feeling of man against the elements. How well you are prepared for the weather can make or break your fishing trip. If you’ve come well wrapped up, with plenty of food and hot drink, then you’ll get a lot of enjoyment out of it.

Escapism

Going fishing allows you to have some time to yourself. We all lead busy lives and now and again it is important to take a break, do something for ourselves and forget about the daily grind. With only your own thoughts for company and possible a radio or a good book, fishing gives you time to reflect on recent events.

Camaraderie

Just as fishing is a good time to enjoy your own company, it’s also a good excuse to get together with some mates. You’d be surprised how many new friends you can make as well, especially by visiting the same venue regularly. Competitions are also great fun because you’re pitting your wits against other anglers. There’s obviously an element of luck involved, but it’s also about using your skills and techniques in such a way as the situation demands.
