Catching Fish "Secret" Formula Disclosed

TimeInWater+#Rods+Location+Bait/Lure+Fish=Fish

Plus a little Crawfish, Anise, Shrimp, Herring, Sardine and Anchovy. Sometimes mixed with some eggcure and WD40.

Sometimes no scent at all and TimeInWater+#Rods+Location+Bait/Lure+Fish=Fish.

Seriously. All the rest is mythology.

Will be fun to see where this one goes :grin:

[Chromaflage]

Hmmmmm......Now where have I seen this before?

[Steelie Steve]

Rick - you forgot that one ingredient....

The "Perfect" hook. Anyone want to comment on what the "best" hook is?

Steve

This "Fish Catching Secret Formula" does work. :grin:

[reeldick]

You really should have added some of that orange stuff that keeps dancing accross my screen.

[Hogmaster]

+Right Line + Right Leader + Right amount of drag + Right pumping action + Right rod angle + No boat "Pilgrims" + everything else mentioned = more catch.

Especially no Pilgrims!

[fishingfirst]

+ a good landing net......eh hogmaster?

Scott

SS! NOOOooooooo..... :grin:

[crabbait]

Man, this thread is gonna get a zillion hits.

Let's keep it civil, what say.

******. So that's the ingredient of cabbage silk huh???? [img]graemlins/applause.gif[/img]

I think I figured out the ingredients to carrot milk.
Business Owner + self sufficient and productive employees = less time at the office divided by more time on water than most = fish galore

I usually do pretty good when I go fishing but due to the crisis driven line of work I am in, I cannot complete the above formula. If I could fish 3 days a week I guarantee you I would be one of the top producers on this board. Unfortunately (except for a few exceptions I average 1 day every two weeks.

Anybody that has themselves in a position where they can spend a couple days a week fishing and still maintain a good living and family life I salute (and kind of envy :smile: )

The right hook is one that is sticky sharp. [img]graemlins/idea.gif[/img]

There was a time in my life I could spend 4 to 5 days a week fishing. Caught lots of fish and learned a thing or two. Can't do that anymore but the experience is still paying off. :grin:

The right hook is one that is sticky sharp.

<font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helvetica">Amen.


But most importantly...I have to ad it helps if you know what you're doing, and you can't get 'em if you aint out there.

I've found that the secret to catching fish is to be sure to have a banana in the boat.
Lots of luck.

[Chromaflage]

FNF - Ooooooooo..... :shocked:

[BrokeItOff]

Gosh I guess I can get rid of my lucky fly/lure/rod/reel/lifejacket now. If I had only known it was so straight forward. Do you have a similar formula for life? Any help would be appreciated. [img]graemlins/dork.gif[/img]

[NETONE]

TimeInWater+#Rods+Location+Bait/Lure+Fish=Fish

<font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helvetica">******, mathmatically, that equation is NOT correct, you can not have "Fish" on both side of the equal sign, since the functions based upon the input variables my be negative, (all the addtions the one division). Hence, how can you have "Fish" with negative time in water ( or ) lure, rod etc....

SO ****** I AM CALLING YOU OUT ON THIS FORMULA...
Think that one over.....

[Okie]

Test for sharp hook, sharp enough to hook your finger nail with very little pressure. On the top part of the finger nail. It will slide off if dull with out hooking.

[WaterDog]

I would say that the "Fish" on the left side of the equation is "fish" in the water your fishing. On the right it's "fish" in the boat.

It should have been intuitively obvious that they were different. :tongue:

<font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helvetica">So that explains the blood running down my hand...... :shocked: :shocked: Testing the hook on the wrong side of my finger.

****** - Sorry, had to do it.... :tongue:

NETONE - Lucy splain' to me if there are no fish present in the water to catch, how you gonna' catch them? Your formula version would = skunked? :grin:

Waterdog [img]graemlins/hearton.gif[/img]

I saw it before &lt;edit&gt; FNF. :grin: [img]graemlins/hearton.gif[/img]

Yes it is Tanner. :smile:

[FishinMission]

Oh yeah...Don't forget to go with someone who catches alot too! :grin:

Mark

[Hogmaster]

The formula posted by the Vanilla one does work as long as everything else has a null, i.e. 0 value.

Then we have Fish = Fish Which is exactly what it takes to have fish!

[h20dog]

******, what do you think about the "positive attitude theory"? :grin:

Don't do theory, just fun conjecture. :smile: :grin:
I guess you do need to be confident though, or why fish? No guru stuff from me, just a another fishaholic, like you all. [img]graemlins/applause.gif[/img]

Steelie, was wondering what the heck was in those two tin Bandaid boxes you always have in your tacklebox? :grin: You need to label them "sharpness test strips?" :shocked:

Harmless intentions and fun post. I think the math aside, it is obviously the basic and fundamental formula for catching, and we are all the ones that tweak it with a zillion variables.

Rick

[Mojo]

The perfect hook is the one stuck in the corner of the jaw of the last fish I caught!

Did I win?

[Big TULE]

TimeInWater+#Rods+Location+Bait/Lure+Fish+ bannanas= Skunked

[Mrdorkfish]

The secret is the will to learn from those that teach,

I like Spinners :grin:

[wannacatchem]

Another secret is to teach the "pilgrims", sounds like that ain't gonna happen, tho

[Tacklebuster]

Sounds like someone was real tired when reading the latest InFisherman maunual straight from Al himself :grin:

Bla Bla+This+That=youknowwhat.....

Bottomline is you can read all the charts you want, get the numbers going past the dam, buy every different color wobbler or K fish on the shelf, put all the veggie juice and lemon scent on them you want, but you gotta put your time in to catch your fish. Once you get it dialed in, it's money in the bank. Wet hooks catch the fish.

What Chris? No secrets of how you tie up a perfectly prime URB spot in a hogline and fish for Sturgeon? :grin: [img]graemlins/hearton.gif[/img]

Just remeber that ANY advice is worth what you pay for it :shocked: :shocked: :shocked:

I somehow knew you would say something like that Rick :grin: I guess I could share my secret on how to half hitch half a smelt on a green/blue wobbler [img]graemlins/dork.gif[/img]

Busy Hog Line+Urb Run in full swing+My attention span getting short+A dozen smelt sitting in the bait cooler calling my name=38 ticked off people as I scream Fish On every 14.3 minutes :grin:

Rick Thanks

[Hookset]

Hey...I want to play too.

Listen close.........the secret to catching more fish is.....

a) Taking care of your PH (personal hygiene), wash your hands, wear gloves....just keep those stinky odors off the lure/bait/hook.

b) Location location location, you can't hook them if your fishing all the wrong places. Location and timing are so critical.

c) Presentation, knowing how to rig/troll/cast to get your offering in front of the fish.

d) And like others said, I'm a BIG fan of sticky sharp hooks.

ok.....how'd I do? Did I win???

Gregg

[rebell]

Best bait+best body of water+best boat+best rod+best line+best hook+best time of year+best scent+best attitude+what ever else you can think of does not = fish if there are none in front of you. :grin:

[Hogmaster]

REALLY good fisherpeople draws the fish to where they are fishing! :grin:

Unless there is a Pilgrim in the vicinity anyway. Especially in the boat! :shocked:

[Okie]

Catching fish; Rule #1, Sharp hook, Rule #2, Sharp hook, Rule #3, Sharp hook, You can guess rule 4 & 5.

[img]graemlins/applause.gif[/img] You have that right!

Some of the very best advice has been and is absolutely free! :smile:

[Private-Aye-Fish]

The perfect hook is the one that stayed tied to the leader. I just hate it when they fall off! :blush:

Of course there are a million knots and personal choices for knots. A good egg loop knot works for virtually all single hook applications for me, not just for using eggs.

I use a double loop through the eye, improved cinch knot for everything else, i.e., for plugs and wobblers.

Make sure you "wet" (good ole' siliva works good) all parts of any knot before you cinch it down and pull it tight.

A lot of people still use too light of a leader (IMHO) sometimes. Unless it's gin clear, use heavy enough stuff to not lose your fish or your hooks and expensive lures.

Rick

[fishbait]

The revised equation according to Fishbait:

(TimeInWater+#Rods+Location+Bait/Lure+Fish)* (experience and knowledge/(1/desire))*(preperation+equipement)*(1/presentation)=Fish-(the ones ****** already has caught)



Atleast I like it..................

[David Johnson]

Works for me :smile:

Tough for hardly any formula's to work in these conditions right now I bet David. Sturgeon guiding or some peace and rest? Hmmm he says...easy choice I bet

Chris, you're the only guy I know with outriggers extended during springer fishing in a hogline. I'll have to try that this year. Might get me a little closer to the actual spot I intended to anchor. :blush: :grin:
