Its design incorporates a built-in planing bill which makes it dive when pulled through the water the faster it’s pulled, the deeper it dives. Because of this built-in, natural swimming action, Hot Shots are often used with no additional weight attached to the line. You simply use the existing river current or reel in line to make the plug dive. The big advantage of using a non-weighted plug is that the lure will naturally follow the river currents, guiding it around snags and rocks, while still maintaining a position near the bottom, the home of most game fish. When rigging to use Hot Shots, most any rod and reel combination is acceptable. The choice will depend on your personal preference. However, the Hot Shotting technique has resulted in some very specialized rods being manufactured for salmon and steelhead, and "Hot Shot" actions are commonplace. These rods feature a heavy butt, with a light, sensitive tip that allows maximum visual contact of the lure’s action. As you become more familiar with the technique, you may wish to purchase one of these specialized rods. Line choices are important in relation to how deep you wish the plug to dive. Light monofilament lines generate less water resistance and allow the Hot Shot to dive deeper, while heavier lines will increase friction and produce a shallower dive. Braided "superlines" offer an outstanding combination of incredible strength and small diameter that provides maximum power, without sacrificing dive depth. Unique in design, Rapala® Titanium® Stretch Braid offers both those advantages along with 7% stretch to cushion hard strikes. Choose 20- to 30-pound braid (8- to 10-pound diameter) for trout and 50- to 65-pound (14- to 20-pound diameter) for steelhead and salmon. When fishing braids, it's common to add a barrel swivel and three-foot monofilament leader between the mainline and lure. Tue, 11 Nov 2008 23:06:33 GMT http://www.hotwinelist.com/News/article/sid=235.html Line is arguably the single most important equipment item for fishermen. It plays a key role in bait and lure presentation, in hooking fish, and in landing the fish one hooks. Yet most anglers remain confused and uneducated about the types of line now available, and the special properties each exhibits. That's unfortunate, because understanding the pros and cons of different line types, and using that knowledge to employ the right lines in the right situations, can greatly improve one's fishing success. This article was written to help in that respect. Monofilament In 1938, DuPont announced the discovery of nylon, a "group of new synthetic superpolymers" that could be made into textile fibers stronger and more elastic than cotton, silk, wool, or rayon. The next year, DuPont began commercial production of nylon monofilament fishing line. This new line, primitive by today's standards, didn't catch on immediately; older fishing lines, particularly braided Dacron, remained popular for the next two decades. In 1958, however, DuPont introduced Stren, a thinner line of more uniform quality that could be used with different types of reels, including newly introduced spinning and spincasting tackle. This line was quickly embraced by fishermen, and led to a boom in sportfishing popularity because it helped make fishing much easier. Monofilament products remain popular, accounting for more than two-thirds of all fishing lines sold. As the name suggests, this is a single-component product. It is formed through an extrusion process in which molten plastic is formed into a strand through a die. This process is relatively inexpensive, producing a less costly product--that being the main reason monos are so widely popular. But it's important to remember that cheaper brands of monofilament usually don't receive the quality-control attention, additives and attention in the finishing process that premium-grade lines receive. As a result, they may not offer the superb blend of tensile strength, limpness, abrasion resistance, and knot strength characteristic of more expensive monos. In other words, you get what you pay for. Cheap off-brand monos usually don't perform as well as more expensive name brands, so "buyer beware." If you decide to use monofilament, test several name brands and stick with those you come to know and trust.

Ketchikan is a small community located on Revillagidedo island which is on the edge of Alaska in some of the greatest salmon fishing waters. The waters include five unique types of salmon; Chinook Salmon, King Salmon, Red or Sockeye Salmon, Silver or Coho Salmon, Pink of Humpback Salmon, and Chum. One of the great things about Charters in Ketchikan is the fish are a very short ride from the harbors. Often times, the Salmon or only 15 minutes away. More time in the water and less of a boat ride. What more could you ask for.

The mighty Steelhead is one of the most sought-after fish in the entire Northwest. It isn't much of a mystery as to why. Steelhead are one of the hardest hitting fish in Washington. Steelhead often break the water's surface while rolling causing adrenaline to rush through every ounce of your body. Did you know that Steelhead are anadromous? This means they return to their hatching grounds to spawn. Different populations of steelhead migrate upriver in Washington at different times of the year. "Summer-run steelhead" migrate between May and October, before their reproductive organs are fully mature. They mature in freshwater before spawning in the spring. "Winter-run steelhead" mature fully in the ocean before migrating, between November and April, and spawn shortly after returning. The first foods steelhead will consume are usually plankton, crustaceans, vegetation, and insects. As thy move into deeper and larger waters, they begin eating eggs and salmon carcasses. As they mature, they will begin to consume other live fish which eventually will include other fish and squid. Washington Steelhead fishing techniques vary by location and angle. These techniques include baits, lures, spoons, spinners, flies, and yard with egg patterns. Drift boat fishing and bobber fishing are also popular methods. Steelhead fishing locations will also vary by angler. Washington offers many great locations for steelhead fishing thanks to the mighty Columbia River. Many steelhead enter the Columbia River system and move their way up to other tributaries. Fishing for Steelhead in Washington provides all anglers an equal opportunity to capture this mighty fish. Mon, 24 Sep 2007 06:23:19 GMT http://www.hotwinelist.com/News/article/sid=231.html I have spent many hours reading how to implement Google Adsense in Dragonfly CPGNuke. To my disbelief, the information is limited. With that being said, Google adsense is a great way for webmasters to earn income while creating web pages. What better way for Dragonfly CPG Nuke to be used. This article covers the basic concepts I use for implementing google adsense code into my Dragonfly CPGNUKE news articles. I do not consider myself a programmer and would consider this process very simple. For starters, you must create a google adsense account with Google Adsense. Once you have registered and created a google adsense account, you must decide where to place your ads. There is plenty of information available on covering google adsense placement and this will not be one of them. The article covers how to use google ads in your Dragonfly CPG Nuke site. With that being said, lets take a look at a few options. There is a simple piece of script available that can be used to place the google adsense code where you want within your news on your cpg nuke website. In fact, the code is so simple to use, someone should make a BBcode button to accomplish this tack. The banner you see to the left is a 200x200 square banner. This code was simply created by inserting your google adsense code in the middle of my script. Notice how the text from this news article just wraps around the google ad? You can make this ad appear on the left side of the page, the right side of the page, and even in the center of the page. We could even put text in the middle of two separate ads if we wants. Remember, Google Adsense has a rule that you can only display three ads per page. Don't overdue it! The Dragonfly CPGNuke code that I use is considered a floating format. Here is the code. Code:: <div style=”display:block;float:center;margin: 5px 5px 5px 5px;”> INSERT YOUR GOOGLE ADSENSE CODE HERE </div> Pretty simple, huh? Notice where the text above says center? You can change this to right or even left. Here is an example of the code with right. Code:: <div style=”display:block;float:right;margin: 5px 5px 5px 5px;”> INSERT YOUR GOOGLE ADSENSE CODE HERE </div> Google Adsense Ad below Notice the 468x60 banner ad above this text and below the text "Google Adsense Ad below". This ad was created by using the following code. Code:: <div style=”display:block;float:center;margin: 5px 5px 5px 5px;”> INSERT YOUR GOOGLE GENERATED ADSENSE CODE HERE </div><p> The above code snippets should also work with you PHPNuke , Post Nuke, and Blog websites. Remember, this is how "I" implemented google adsense into Dragonfly CPGNuke. More articles to come.
