How To Catch Trout

How To Catch Trout


EQUIPMENT

1. 7' MEDIUM ACTION ROD
2. SPINNING REEL WITH 8-10 # TEST MONOFILAMENT
3. 2 1/2 - 3 FT. OF 20# TEST MONOFILAMENT LEADER TIED DIRECTLY TO YOUR 8-20# TEST LINE USING A SURGEON'S OR UNI TO UNI KNOT.

AREAS TO FISH

1. ALWAYS LOOK FOR GRASSY AREAS WITH WHITE SANDY POTHOLES.
2. WATER DEPTH SHOULD BE FROM 4-6 FT. DEEP
3. DURING THE WINTER TIME, YOU SHOULD FISH THE EDGES OF THE SAND BARS ADJACENT TO THESE GRASS FLATS BECAUSE THE TROUT LIE IN THE MUDDY BOTTOM WHERE IT IS WARMER.

LIVE BAIT

1. LIVE SHRIMP: HOOK THE SHRIMP UNDER THE "HORN" WITH A 2/0 HOOK. USE A
POPPING CORK 2 1/2 TO 3 FEET FROM YOUR HOOK. YOU SHOULD ADJUST THE CORK DEPENDING ON THE DEPTH OF THE WATER.

2. WHITE BAIT: (SCALED SARDINE ) USING A 2/0 HOOK, HOOK YOUR WHITE BAIT
UNDER THE PECTORAL FIN USING A FLOATING CORK APPROXIMATELY 2 1/2 - 3 FT. FROM YOUR HOOK.

3. CAST YOUR BAIT AND WAIT FOR THE BOBBER TO GO UNDER. DO NOT SET THE HOOK UNTIL YOU FEEL THE FISH PULLING THE LINE UNDER THE SURFACE. THEN GIVE IT A SLIGHT TWITCH. REMEMBER, TROUT HAVE A VERY SOFT MOUTH. IF YOU YANK TOO HARD IT WILL JUST RIP THE HOOK RIGHT OUT OF THEIR MOUTHS.


ARTIFICIAL BAITS

HARD PLASTICS


1. SOME OF THESE LURES HAVE LITTLE PROPELLERS ON THE FRONT, THE BACK OR BOTH FRONT AND BACK. THESE PROPELLERS MAKE A NOISE THAT ATTRACTS THE FISH TO YOUR LURE. THEY THINK IT'S A WHITE BAIT THAT IS INJURED.
2. THE BEST TIME TO USE THESE HARD PLASTIC LURES IS IN THE EARLY MORNINGS OR LATE AFTERNOONS .
3. TIE YOUR LURE ON A 2 1/2 -3 FT OF 20# TEST MONO LEADER USING THE IMPROVED CLINCH KNOT ( LOOK AT THE KNOT SECTION ) ( THE IMPROVED CLINCH KNOT LETS THE LURE MOVE EASIER AND MORE REALISTIC WHEN TWITCHING IT.)
4. CAST THE LURE AND WORK IT WITH A SLIGHT TWITCH. DO NOT SET THE HOOK UNTIL YOU FEEL THE FISH SWIMMING WITH YOUR LURE. THEN AND ONLY THEN WILL YOU SET THE HOOK.( NOTHING AGAINST BASS FISHERMEN). JUST GIVE IT A SLITCH TWITCH. THE HOOKS ON THE LURE WILL DO THE REST. DO NOT SET THE HOOK LIKE YOU SEE ON T.V.
5. IF THE FISH HITS THE LURE AND MISSES THE HOOKS, DON'T JUST WIND IT IN. LET IT SIT THERE FOR A FEW SECONDS AND MORE THAN LIKELY THE FISH WILL COME BACK AFTER IT.
SOFT PLASTICS


SOFT PLASTIC LURES ARE THE EASIEST LURES TO USE FOR TROUT BECAUSE THEY RESEMBLE A SHRIMP GOING THRU THE GRASS.
1. USE A 1/8 OUNCE LEAD JIG HEAD ON A PLASTIC TAIL THAT IS 4-6 INCHES LONG.
2. THE BEST COLORS SEEM TO BE ROOTBEER, RED, GOLD OR SILVER. BUT TRY OUT DIFFERENT OTHER COLORS IN YOUR AREA.

3. SOMETIMES YOU MAY WANT TO USE A POPPING CORK ( AS PICTURED ). AGAIN THE CORK IS APPROXIMATELY 2 1/2 - 3 FT. FROM THE LURE.
4. CAST THE LURE AND RETRIEVE IT WITH A POPPING MOTION. THE CORK MAKES A SPLASHING SOUND WHICH THE TROUT CAN HEAR FROM VERY LONG DISTANCES. WHEN THE TROUT INVESTIGATES THE SOUNDS, IT SEES THIS SOFT PLASTIC LURE GOING UP AND DOWN ABOVE THE GRASS RESEMBLING A FLEEING SHRIMP.
5. MOST OF THE TIME THE TROUT WILL HIT THE LURE JUST AFTER YOU HAVE
TWITCHED IT AND IT IS FALLING. WHEN YOU GET READY TO TWITCH IT AGAIN,
THEN YOU WILL NOTICE THE TROUT HAS ALREADY TAKEN YOUR BAIT. YOU HAVE ALREADY SET THE HOOK SO DON'T GET CARRIED AWAY WITH YANKING THE HOOK OUT OF IT'S MOUTH

6. DURING THE WINTER, DO NOT USE THE POPPING CORK. LET THE LURE RUN ALONG THE WARM MUDDY BOTTOM. REMBER WORK THE LURE SLOWER BECAUSE THE FISH'S METABOLISM IS A LOT SLOWER THIS TIME OF YEAR.

SPOONS


1. TRY USING EITHER A 1/4 OUNCE SILVER SPOON OR GOLD SPOON FOR TROUT.
2. JUST CAST THE SPOON AND REEL IT JUST ABOVE THE GRASS.

How To Catch Tarpon




EQUIPMENT
1. 8' HEAVY ACTION ROD OR SPINNING OUTFIT DEPENDING IF YOU ARE BEACH FISHING OR BRIDGE FISHING
2. 6 FT. OF 100# TEST MONOFILAMENT LEADER TIED DIRECTLY TO THE SWIVEL ON
YOUR YOUR 50# TEST LINE USING A PALOMAR KNOT OR AN IMPROVED CLINCH KNOT

CLICK HERE FOR THE KNOTS PAGE

3. USE A 6/0 GORILLA HOOK TIED TO YOUR 6 FT. LEADER USING A PALOMAR OR IMPROVED CLINCH KNOT.
4. MAKE SURE YOUR HOOK IS EXTREMELY SHARP. MOST OF THE HOOKS BY " OWNER " ARE PRE-SHARPENED.
5. DON'T TAKE A CHANCE ON DULL HOOKS. THE TARPON'S MOUTH IS AS HARD AS A PIECE OF PETRIFIED WOOD AND IS REALLY HARD TO GET THE HOOK TO IMBED ITSELF.

6. MOST OF THE TARPON WILL BE CAUGHT ON A TIDE THAT IS MOVING AT A BRISK PACE. ALWAYS CHECK YOUR TIDE AND SOLUNAR CHARTS FOR THE MOON PHASES.
AREAS TO FISH
THERE ARE TWO AREAS TO FISH FOR TARPON, UNDER THE BRIDGES AND ALONG THE BEACHES.
BEACH FISHING

1. IF YOU FISH THE BEACHES, THEN YOU MUST BE PREPARED TO GET UP VERY EARLY ( USUALLY ARRIVE AT THE BEACH BEFORE SUNRISE)
2. USUALLY THE FISH ARE FROM 1/2 MILE TO 1 1/2 MILES OFF THE BEACH. LOOK FOR THE FISH THAT ARE ROLLING AND MILLING AROUND.
3. WHEN YOU FIND THEM, YOU MUST BE VERY QUIET AND MOVE UP TO WHERE YOU THINK THEY ARE TRAVELING AND TURN OFF YOUR MOTOR. BE AT LEAST 100 YARDS FROM WHERE YOU SAW THEM.







4. IF THERE IS ANOTHER BOAT ALREADY FISHING THE SCHOOL OF FISH YOU
SPOTTED, PLEASE BE COURTEOUS AND FIND ANOTHER SCHOOL SO YOU DON'T SPOOK THEM AND RUIN THE CHANCE FOR THE OTHER ANGLER TO HOOK UP.
5. IF YOU MISCALCULATED THE DRIFT, DON'T START UP YOUR BIG MOTOR AND TRY TO GET IN FRONT OF THEM, WAIT UNTIL THEY HAVE PASSED AND MAKE A LOOP AROUND THEM AND TRY AGAIN. IF YOU START UP YOUR BIG MOTOR, YOU WILL JUST SPOOK THEM AND YOU WON'T STAND A CHANCE OF CATCHING THEM. IF YOU USE A TROLLING MOTOR USE IT FOR JUST A FEW MINUTES TO REPOSITION YOURSELF. THEY CAN STILL HEAR IT AND WILL SPOOK, BUT JUST NOT AS EASILY.
BAITS

1. IF YOU ARE USING LIVE BAIT, THEN PUT A BOBBER ON TO KEEP THE BAIT AT YOUR DESIRED DEPTH.( USUALLY ABOUT 6 FT.) HOOK THE PINFISH AND THE SHAD UNDER THE DORSAL FIN. HOOK THE MENHADEN, THREADFIN, AND THE MULLET THRU THE HARD PART JUST UNDER THE NOSE. THE CRAB SHOULD BE HOOKED THRU THE END OF THE SHELL. RUN THE HOOK UP FROM THE BOTTOM.

2. DEAD BAIT SHOULD BE HOOKED NEXT TO THE ANAL FIN OR UNDER THE DORSAL FIN

3. DEAD BAIT, JUST LET IT LAY ON THE BOTTOM
4. CAST OUT YOUR LINES AND WAIT FOR THEM TO COME TO YOU.
5. ONCE THE TARPON TAKES THE BAIT, THEN SET THE HOOK WITH QUICK TUGS ON THE POLE. REMEMBER 6 QUICK HOOK SETS WILL DRIVE THE HOOK INTO THE MOUTH OF THE TARPON BETTER THAN 1 GIGANTIC HOOK SET.
6. AFTER A LONG FIGHT, THE FISH IS READY TO GAFF. USE A HAND GAFF SO YOU CAN GAFF THE FISH IN THE MOUTH THRU THE BOTTOM LIP.THIS WILL NOT HURT THE FISH. TAKE OUT THE HOOK , TAKE PICTURES AND THEN GET READY TO RELEASE THE FISH.

7. USE A PAIR OF GLOVES AND HOLD THE FISH BY THE LOWER JAW. AS ONE PERSON RUNS THE BOAT , HOLD THE FISH'S MOUTH OPEN SO THAT WATER RUSHES THRU THE GILLS. YOU WILL KNOW WHEN THE FISH IS READY WHEN IT PULLS AWAY FROM YOU.

8. TARPON WILL FIGHT UNTIL THEIR LAST BREATH. THEY WILL BE TOTALLY SPENT
9. DON'T JUST RELEASE THE FISH WITHOUT REVIVING IT. IF YOU DON'T REVIVE IT, THEN IT WILL JUST SINK TO THE BOTTOM AND DIE OR IT WON'T HAVE ENOUGH STRENGTH TO GET AWAY FROM THE MARAUDING SHARKS.

BRIDGE FISHING

1. ANCHOR YOUR BOAT SO THAT YOU ARE 1 / 2 TO 3 / 4 OF THE WAY UNDER THE
BRIDGE. THIS ALLOWS YOU TO FISH THE SHADOW LINE AND ALSO GET SOME RELIEF FROM THE HOT SUN DURING THE AFTERNOON.
2. WHEN BRIDGE FISHING, YOU MUST TIE A LARGE BALL OR BUMPERS TO YOUR






ANCHOR LINE. WHEN YOU HOOK A FISH , YOU DON'T HAVE TIME TO RETRIEVE THE ANCHOR, SO YOU THROW THE ANCHOR LINE OVER AND THE BALL WILL KEEP IT FLOATING.

3. CATCHING BAIT SHOULD BE VERY EASY BECAUSE THE BAITS LINE UP IN THE SHADOWS. USE SABIKI HOOKS TO CATCH THE BAITS.


4. HOOK THE BAIT UNDER THE HARD PART ON THE NOSE SO THE BAIT CAN SWIM INTO THE CURRENT WHEN YOU PUT YOUR LINES OUT.
5. SINCE TARPON CRUISE THE SHADOWS AND THE EDDYS, CAST YOUR BAIT UP CURRENT IN FRONT OF THE BOAT AND LET THE BAIT SWIM DOWN THRU THE SHADOWS AND EDDYS.

6. LET YOUR BAIT DRIFT APPROXIMATELY 30 - 40 YARDS BEHIND THE BOAT AND RETRIEVE YOUR BAIT AND START OVER AGAIN.

7. SOME PEOPLE LIKE TO JUST LET THE BAIT DRIFT OUT BEHIND THE BOAT. BUT
WHEN THE TIDE STARTS RIPPING, THEN THE BAIT WILL COME TO THE SURFACE. SO TIE ON A 6 - 8 OUNCE SINKER WITH A BREAK-A-WAY COPPER WIRE AND WHEN THE TARPON STRIKES, THE WIRE WILL BREAK OFF RELEASING THE SINKER.
8. ONCE THE TARPON TAKES THE BAIT, THEN SET THE HOOK WITH QUICK TUGS ON THE POLE. REMEMBER 6 QUICK HOOK SETS WILL DRIVE THE HOOK INTO THE MOUTH OF THE TARPON BETTER THAN 1 GIGANTIC HOOK SET.
9. WHEN THE FISH JUMPS, POINT THE POLE AT THE FISH. THIS IS CALLED " BOWING TO THE KING ". THIS IS DONE SO THAT THE HOOK WON'T BE DISLODGED WHEN IT SHAKES IT'S HEAD AS IT JUMPS.
10. NOW THE " CHINESE FIRE DRILL" BEGINS.
11. ONE PERSON HOLDS ON TO THE POLE WHILE ANOTHER PERSON STARTS THE BOAT AND RELEASES THE ANCHOR LINE. REMEMBER, YOU WON'T HAVE TIME TO BRING THE ANCHOR IN SO JUST RELEASE IT.

12. ONCE THIS IS DONE THEN BRING IN THE OTHER LINES AS YOU DRIFT, HOPEFULLY, AWAY FROM THE BRIDGE.
13. TRY TO POSITION THE BOAT BETWEEN THE FISH AND THE BRIDGE. SOMETIMES THIS WILL SPOOK THE FISH AND IT WILL MOVE AWAY FROM THE BRIDGE.

14. IF THE FISH DOES GO AROUND THE PILING, JUST LOOSE THE DRAG UNTIL YOU CAN MOVE THE BOAT AROUND THE PILINGS. HOPEFULLY YOUR LINE WON'T GET TOO FRAYED. IF YOU DON'T LOOSEN THE DRAG , THE BARNACLES ON THE PILING WILL CUT YOUR LINE AND YOU'RE HISTORY.
15. AFTER A LONG FIGHT, THE FISH IS READY TO GAFF. USE A HAND GAFF SO YOU CAN GAFF THE FISH IN THE MOUTH THRU THE BOTTOM LIP.THIS WILL NOT HURT THE FISH. TAKE OUT THE HOOK , TAKE PICTURES AND THEN GET READY TO RELEASE THE FISH.

16. USE A PAIR OF GLOVES AND HOLD THE FISH BY THE LOWER JAW. AS ONE PERSON RUNS THE BOAT , HOLD THE FISH'S MOUTH OPEN SO THAT WATER RUSHES THRU






THE GILLS. YOU WILL KNOW WHEN THE FISH IS READY WHEN IT PULLS AWAY FROM YOU.

17. TARPON WILL FIGHT UNTIL THEIR LAST BREATH. THEY WILL BE TOTALLY SPENT.
18. DON'T JUST RELEASE THE FISH WITHOUT REVIVING IT. IF YOU DON'T REVIVE IT, THEN IT WILL JUST SINK TO THE BOTTOM AND DIE OR IT WON'T HAVE ENOUGH STRENGTH TO GET AWAY FROM THE MARAUDING SHARKS.

3. 2 1/2 - 3 FT. OF 30# TEST MONOFILAMENT LEADER TIED DIRECTLY
TO YOUR 8-10# TEST LINE USING A SURGEON'S OR UNI TO UNI KNOT ( SEE KNOTS )

4. ALWAYS SET YOUR DRAG BEFORE CASTING


AREAS TO FISH

1. MID MAY THROUGH AUGUST, LOOK AT ALL THE PASSES WITH
GOOD MOVING WATER WITH DEEP TROUGHS ADJACENT TO THE BEACH.

2. ALWAYS LOOK AT FISHING THE LIGHTED DOCKS AT NIGHT. A GOOD DOCK IS ONE WITH A LIGHT NEAR THE WATER AND GOOD WATER MOVEMENT.

3. IF YOU FISH THE DOCKS AT NIGHT, PLEASE BE COURTEOUS AND DON'T MAKE NOISE OR DISTURB THE OWNER'S PROPERTY.

4. ALWAYS FISH NEAR MANGROVES ESPECIALLY WITH GOOD MOVING WATER NEAR CHANNELS.

5. BRIDGES ARE ONE OF THE BEST PLACES.
** 6. USE THIS CHART ( TIDES AND MOON PHASES) . BELIEVE ME IT WORKS.


BAITS



LIVE BAITS

1. LIVE SHRIMP : HOOK THE SHRIMP UNDER THE "HORN" WITH A 2/0 HOOK
ATTACHED TO 30 # TEST MONO. LEADER APPROXIMATELY 2 1/2 - 3 FT. FROM YOUR HOOK.


2. WHITE BAIT (SCALED SARDINE ) USING A 2/0 HOOK ATTACHED TO 2 - 2 1/ 2 FEET OF 30 # TEST MONOFILAMENT LEADER,HOOK YOUR WHITE BAIT UNDER THE PECTORAL FIN.

3. PINFISH AND GRUNT

4. CAST YOUR BAIT AND WAIT FOR A TAP ON YOUR LINE.MOST OF THE TIME IT WON'T BE REAL HARD. WIND UP ANY SLACK. DO NOT SET THE HOOK UNTIL YOU FEEL THE FISH PULLING THE LINE UNDER THE SURFACE, THEN GIVE IT A GOOD TWITCH.


ARTIFICIAL BAIT

THERE ARE MAY ARTIFICIAL BAITS ON THE MARKET.

HARD PLASTICS

1. THE BEST TIME TO USE THESE HARD PLASTIC LURES IS IN THE EARLY MORNINGS
OR LATE AFTERNOONS .

2. TIE YOUR LURE ON A 2 1/2 -3 FT OF 30# TEST MONO LEADER USING THE IMPROVED CLINCH KNOT.

3. CAST THE LURE AND WORK IT WITH A SLIGHT TWITCH. DO NOT SET THE
HOOK UNTIL YOU FEEL THE FISH SWIMMING WITH YOUR LURE. THEN
AND ONLY THEN WILL YOU SET THE HOOK. JUST GIVE IT A SLITCH TWITCH.
THE HOOKS ON THE LURE WILL DO THE REST. DO NOT SET THE HOOK LIKE YOU SEE ON T.V.


4. IF THE FISH HITS THE LURE AND MISSES THE HOOKS, DON'T JUST WIND IT IN. LET IT SIT THERE FOR A FEW SECONDS AND MORE THAN LIKELY THE FISH WILL COME BACK AFTER IT.


SOFT PLASTICS

1. CAST YOUR LURE AND JUST TWITCH THE END OF YOUR ROD. WIND UP THE SLACK AND TWITCH IT AGAIN. DOING THIS MAKES THE LURE LOOK LIKE A SHRIMP SWIMMING IN THE GRASS. MORE THAN LIKELY THE FISH WILL HIT IT ON THE FALL.

SPOONS

1. 1/4 OUNCE GOLD OR SILVER SPOONS ARE MY FAVORITE BAITS FOR SNOOK.

2. CAST THE SPOON AND RETRIEVE IT SO THAT IT IS JUST ABOVE THE GRASS.

3. WHEN THE FISH HITS AND YOU FEEL THE TUG, SET THE HOOK WITH A GOOD SNAP OF THE ROD.

2. SPINNING REEL WITH 8-10 # TEST MONOFILAMENT.

3. 2 1/2 - 3 FT. OF 20# TEST MONOFILAMENT LEADER TIED DIRECTLY TO YOUR 8-10# TEST LINE USING A SURGEON'S OR UNI TO UNI KNOT.

4. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A GOOD PAIR OF POLARIZED SUNGLASSES SO YOU CAN SEE THE REDFISH IN THE SHALLOWS.

AREAS TO FISH

1. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN SEARCHING FOR REDFISH IS TO BE VERY QUIET. WHEN GOING INTO AN AREA WHERE YOU THINK THERE ARE REDFISH, SHUT OFF YOUR MOTOR AT LEAST 100 YARDS FROM WHERE YOU ARE GOING TO FISH. IF YOU DON'T, YOU WILL JUST WASTE YOUR TIME. DON'T EVEN USE A TROLLING MOTOR ( THEY CAN HEAR THE HUM OF THE ELECTRIC MOTOR). LOOK AND SEE WHICH WAY THE WIND IS BLOWING AND ADJUST YOUR DRIFT. IF THE WIND CHANGES ON YOU, THEN USE YOUR PUSH-POLE. MAKE A PUSH-POLE OUT OF PVC IF YOU HAVE TO.

2. ALWAYS LOOK FOR GRASSY AREAS WITH WHITE SANDY POTHOLES.

3. WATER DEPTH SHOULD BE FROM 3-4 FT. DEEP.

4. LOOK NEAR THE MANGROVES AND UNDER DOCKS.

5. LOOK FOR WATER MOVEMENT. A REDFISH SCHOOL, WHEN MOVING, TENDS TO PUSH A LOT OF WATER.

6.WHEN LEAVING AN AREA, PUSH-POLE YOUR WAY OUT OR LET THE WIND BLOW
YOU OUT. IF YOU START YOUR ENGINE, YOU WILL JUST SPOOK THE FISH AND THEY MAY NOT BE THERE THE NEXT TIME YOU GO BACK.

LIVE BAITS

1. LIVE SHRIMP : HOOK THE SHRIMP UNDER THE "HORN" WITH A 2/0 HOOK WITH A FLOATING CORK APPROXIMATELY 2 1/2 - 3 FT. FROM YOUR HOOK. ADJUST ACCORDING TO THE DEPTH OF THE WATER.


2. WHITE BAIT (SCALED SARDINE ): USING A 2/0 HOOK,HOOK YOUR WHITE BAIT
UNDER THE PECTORAL FIN USING A FLOATING CORK APPROXIMATELY 2 1/2 - 3 FT. FROM YOUR HOOK .


3. PINFISH: USING A 2/0 HOOK ATTACHED TO 2 - 2 1/ 2 FEET OF 20 # TEST
MONOFILAMENT LEADER,HOOK YOURBAIT THRU THE NOSE OR THE THE BACK BEHIND THE DORSAL FIN.


4. CAST YOUR BAIT AND WAIT FOR THE BOBBER TO GO UNDER. DO NOT SET THE HOOK UNTIL YOU FEEL THE FISH PULLING THE LINE UNDER THE SURFACE. THEN GIVE IT A SLITCH TWITCH. IF YOU YANK TOO HARD IT WILL JUST RIP THE HOOK
RIGHT OIT OF THEIR MOUTHS.

ARTIFICIAL BAITS


HARD PLASTICS

1. SOME OF THESE LURES HAVE LITTLE PROPELLERS ON THE FRONT, THE BACK OR BOTH FRONT AND BACK. THESE PROPELLERS MAKE A NOISE THAT ATTRACTS THE FISH TO YOUR LURE. THEY THINK IT'S A WHITE BAIT THAT IS INJURED.


2. THE BEST TIME TO USE THESE HARD PLASTIC LURES IS IN THE EARLY MORNINGS OR LATE AFTERNOONS .

3. TIE YOUR LURE ON A 2 1/2 -3 FT OF 20# TEST MONO LEADER USING THE IMPROVED CLINCH KNOT. THE IMPROVED CLINCH KNOT LETS THE LURE MOVE EASIER AND MORE REALISTIC WHEN TWITCHING IT.

4. CAST THE LURE AND WORK IT WITH A SLIGHT TWITCH. DO NOT SET THE HOOK UNTIL YOU FEEL THE FISH SWIMMING WITH YOUR LURE. THEN AND ONLY THEN WILL YOU SET THE HOOK. WITH THE BASS FISHERMEN ( NOTHING AGAINST BASS


FISHERMEN). JUST GIVE IT A SLITCH TWITCH. THE HOOKS ON THE LURE WILL DO THE REST. DO NOT SET THE HOOK LIKE YOU SEE ON T.V.

5. IF THE FISH HITS THE LURE AND MISSES THE HOOKS, DON'T JUST WIND IT IN. LET IT SIT THERE FOR A FEW SECONDS AND MORE THAN LIKELY THE FISH WILL COME BACK AFTER IT.

SOFT PLASTICS

SOFT PLASTIC LURES ARE THE EASIEST LURES TO USE FOR REDFISH BECAUSE THEY RESEMBLE A SHRIMP GOING THRU THE GRASS.

1. USE A 1/8 OUNCE LEAD JIG HEAD ON A PLASTIC TAIL THAT IS 4-6 INCHES LONG.


2. THE BEST COLORS SEEM TO BE ROOTBEER, RED GOLD OR SILVER. BUT TRY OUT DIFFERENT OTHER COLORS IN YOUR AREA.

3.CAST YOUR LURE AND JUST TWITCH THE END OF YOUR ROD. WIND UP THE SLACK AND TWITCH IT AGAIN. DOING THIS MAKES THE LURE LOOK LIKE A SHRIMP SWIMMING IN THE GRASS. MORE THAN LIKELY THE FISH WILL HIT IT ON THE FALL.

3. PINFISH USING A 2/0 HOOK ATTACHED TO 2 - 2 1/ 2 FEET OF 20 # TEST
MONOFILAMENT LEADER,HOOK YOURBAIT THRU THE NOSE OR THE THE BACK BEHIND THE DORSAL FIN.

SPOONS

1. 1/4 OUNCE GOLD SPOONS ARE MY FAVORITE BAITS FOR REDFISH. IT RESEMBLES AN INJURED BAITFISH SWIMMING.

2. CAST THE SPOON AND RETRIEVE IT SO THAT IT IS JUST ABOVE THE GRASS.

3. WHEN THE FISH HITS AND YOU FEEL THE TUG, SET THE HOOK WITH A GOOD SNAP OF THE ROD.

4. IF YOU SEE THE FISH FOLLOWING THE SPOON BUT TURNS AWAY WHEN IT NEARS THE BOAT, THEN THE NEXT CAST, IF YOU SEE A FISH FOLLOWING IT, JUST STOP REELING AND LET THE SPOON FALL INTO THE GRASS. THE REDFISH WILL GO DOWN AND GET IT.

EQUIPMENT

1. 7' MEDIUM ACTION ROD

2. SPINNING REEL WITH 6- 8 # TEST MONOFILAMENT

3. PUT ON 1/4 - 1/2 OUNCE EGG SINKER ABOVE THE SWIVEL TIED TO YOUR LEADER.

4. 12 - 18 INCHES OF 20# TEST MONOFILAMENT LEADER
TIED DIRECTLY TO YOUR 6-8# TEST LINE USING A SURGEON'S OR UNI TO UNI KNOT ( SEE KNOTS ). TIE ON #6 HOOK FOR YOUR BAIT.

AREAS TO FISH

1. POMPANO START MOVING INTO THE AREA AROUND APRIL AND THEY WILL STAY AROUND UNTIL SEPTEMBER, OR UNTIL IT STARTS GETTING COLD.

2. START WITH FISHING MOST OF THE BRIDGES THAT HAS GOOD TIDE MOVEMENT. SKYWAY,GANDY, HOWARD FRANKLIN, CLEARWATER PASS, AND TIERRA VERDE BRIDGE.

3. YOU MAY ALSO FISH THE PASSES WITHOUT A BRIDGE. PASS-A- GRILLE PASS,AND BUNCES PASS ARE GREAT AREAS TO FISH. AS LONG AS THERE IS GOOD TIDE MOVEMENT.

4. SOMETIMES YOU WILL FIND THEM ON THE FLATS WHILE YOU ARE TROUT FISHING. YOU WILL NOTICE A FISH FLYING THRU THE AIR IN YOUR WAKE.

BAITS
LIVE BAITS

1. FIDDLER CRABS, SAND FLEAS, AND SMALL PIECES OF SHRIMP.

2. YOU WILL FIN FIDDLER CRABS ON DESERTED BEACHES AT LOW TIDE.



3. SAND FLEAS ,YOU WILL FIND IN THE SURF AT THE EDGE OF THE WATER ALONG THE BEACHES. JUST DIG THEM UP WITH A SHOVEL.


4. IF YOU ARE ALONG SIDE OF THE PILINGS OF THE BRIDGE, SCRAPE OFF SOME OF THE BARNACLES AND LET THEM FALL INTO THE WATER. THIS WILL DRIVE THE POMPANO INTO A FEEDING FRENZY.


5. CAST YOUR BAIT INTO THE EDDY OF THE PILING WITH A 1/4 - 1/2 OUNCE EGG SINKER ATTACHED.


6.LET IT BUMP ON THE BOTTOM, WHICH WILL KICK UP SAND, WHICH IN TURN WILL ATTRACT THE POMPANO.

7. WHEN YOU FEEL A SMALL TICK, THAT'S WHEN THE POMPANO IS BITING YOUR BAIT, SET THE HOOK.

8. IF YOU HAVEN'T CAUGHT A FISH IN 20-30 MINUTES , THEN MOVE TO THE NEXT SET OF PILINGS . BUT , MOVE TO SOME PILINGS 10-12- PILINGS AWAY.THEN START THE WHOLE PROCESS OVER.


ARTIFICIAL BAITS

1. FISH THE ARTIFICIALS BAITS IN THE SAME AREA WITH THE PILINGS AND PASSES.

2. I PREFER TO USE ARTIFICIAL BAITS IN THE PASSES, BECAUSE IT'S SO MUCH EASIER.

3. THE BEST ARTIFICIAL IS A 1/4 OUNCE YELLOW JIG HEAD WITH YELLOW FEATHERS OR 1/4 OUNCE YELLOW JIG HEAD BY ITSELF. DON'T ADD ANY OTHER WEIGHTS.


4. IN THE PASSES, TURN OFF YOUR MOTOR AND CAST THE ARTIFICIAL BAIT UP TIDE. LET IT SINK TO THE BOTTOM AND JERK IT PRETTY HARD. AFTER THE TIDE TAKES UP THE SLACK, JERK IT AGAIN. BY DOING THIS YOUR BAIT WILL LOOK LIKE A SAND FLEA KICKING UP SAND ON THE BOTTOM.

5. IF YOU DON'T GET ANY HITS, THEN TRY THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CHAN

How To Catch Kingfish


How To Catch Kingfish

AREAS TO FISH


1. GULF OF MEXICO FROM 1 - 30 MILES OFFSHORE.


2. EGMONT SHIP CHANNEL , THE MOUTH OF ANY PASS, AND ALL ARTIFICIAL REEFS.


3. LOOK FOR DIVING BIRDS AROUND ANY HARD BOTTOM. HARD
BOTTOM SHOULD HOLD BAIT WHICH IN TURN WILL HOLD KINGFISH.

4. IF THERE IS BAIT ON THE THE SURFACE OR ON YOUR RECORDER, THEN START FISHING.

EQUIPMENT


DIFFERENT RODS AND REELS ARE USED FOR LIVE BAIT FISHING AND ARTIFICIAL BAIT TROLLING.

LIVE BAIT EQUIPMENT


1. 7 FT. MEDIUM / LIGHT ACTION ROD


2. STANDARD LEVEL WIND REEL OR SPINNING REEL.

3. MINIMUM 200 YARDS OF 20 # TEST MONOFILAMENT LINE DIFFERENT RODS AND REELS ARE USED FOR LIVE BAIT FISHING AND ARTIFICIAL BAIT TROLLING.

4. SET THE DRAG AT 2 - 4 # DRAG. THIS IS DONE BECAUSE MOST OF THE TIME THE KINGFISH WILL BE HOOKED WITH THE STINGER HOOK IN THE FISH'S SIDE. IF YOU TIGHTEN DOWN THE DRAG , THE HOOK WILL PROBABLY PULL OUT.


5. 3 FT. OF COFFEE COLORED WIRE LEADER SHOULD BE 31# TEST WITH 10# BLACK SWIVEL.
THE OTHER END SHOULD HAVE A #2 BAIT HOOK ATTACHED USING THE HAYWIRE TWIST. CONNECTED TO THE BAIT HOOK SHOULD BE A 4X- TREBLE HOOK (THE STINGER ).
THE LENGTH OF THE STINGER SHOULD BE APRROXIMATELY 2/3 THE LENGTH OF YOUR BAIT.



5. DON'T USE ANY SHINY WIRE AS THE FISH WILL SEE THE FLASH OF THE WIRE FROM THE SUN.

6. MANUFACTURER'S DOWN RIGGER OR POOR MAN'S DOWNRIGGER


LIVE BAITS
GIGAR MINNOWS SPANISH SARDINE SHAD
THREADFIN HERRING MENHADEN

SCALED SARDINE (white bait) BLUE RUNNER



2. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A GOOD BAITWELL WITH PLENTY OF FRESH SEA WATER TO KEEP THE BAITS LIVELY.

3. PUT THE BAIT HOOK THROUGH THE NOSE JUST UNDER THE HARD PART AND LET THE STINGER
DANGLE. DO NOT PUT THE STINGER INTO THE BAIT.

4. PUT THE BAITS OUT ON THESE PATTERNS.

6. START SLOW TROLLING APPROXIMATELY 1 MPH, WHICH IS PROBABLY LESS THAN 500 RPMS. YOU SHOULD DRAG 2 - 5 GALLON BUCKETS TO SLOW DOWN EVEN MORE. YOU JUST WANT TO KEEP THE LINES STRAIGHT BEHIND THE BOAT WITHOUT TANGLING.

7. THIS WILL LET THE BAITS SWIM NATURALLY. IF THE BAITS ARE ON THE SURFACE, THEN YOU ARE GOING TOO FAST.

8. WHEN A FISH HITS, DON'T SET THE HOOK. JUST HOLD ON TO THE POLE AND DON'T TOUCH THE DRAG.

9. WHILE THE OTHER ANGLERS CLEAR THE OTHER LINES , YOU MUST WORK YOUR WAY TO THE FRONT OF BOAT.

10. YOU MUST THEN FOLLOW THE FISH WITH THE BOAT, REELING ONLY WHEN THE FISH IS NOT TAKING OUT MORE LINE.
BE PATIENT. THE HOOKS MAY NOT BE IN IT'S MOUTH, THEY MAY BE IN IT'S SIDE. IF YOU HORSE THE FISH, THE HOOKS MAY PULL OUT.

11. WHEN YOU GET THE FISH TO THE BOAT, IT WILL PROBABLY TAKE ANOTHER LONG RUN.

12. NOW THE FISH IS READY FOR THE GAFF. GAFF THE FISH UP NEAR THE HEAD, THAT WAY IT WON'T BEAT UP YOU AND YOUR GAFF.

13. GAFF THE FISH AND BRING IT IN THE BOAT. CUT THE MONOFILAMENT LINE WITH THE HOOKS STILL IN THE FISH AND PUT THE FISH IN YOUR FISH BOX.

14. CONGRATULATIONS !!!
15. DO NOT RE-USE THE LEADER, BECAUSE IT IS PROBABLY SPRUNG AND WILL NOT WORK AGAIN.

TROLLING EQUIPMENT

1. 7 FT HEAVY ACTION POLE
2. SPINNG REEL OR LEVEL WIND REEL WITH AT LEAST 200 YARDS 30# TEST LINE.
3. #2 PLANER FOR DEPTHS OF 20 FT.
#3 PLANER FOR DEPTHS OF 30 FT. #4 PLANER FOR DEPTHS OF 40 FT.


ARTIFICIAL BAITS


1. LOOK FOR DIVING BIRDS OR BAIT SCHOOLS. DO NOT TROLL THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE SCHOOL. ALWAYS GO AROUND THE OUTSIDE, THIS IS WHERE MOST OF THE MACKEREL OR KINGFISH WILL HANG OUT.

2. YOU MAY WANT TO ONLY USE 3 POLES WHILE TROLLING

3. PUT THE LINE THAT YOU WILL USE FOR YOUR DOWNRIGGER OUT FIRST. APPROXIMATELY 75 FEET, THEN ATTACH IT TO YOUR DOWNRIGGER. LOWER YOUR DOWNRIGGER BALL ,
WITH YOUR LINE ATTACHED, TO 1 / 2 THE DEPTH OF THE WATER YOU ARE TROLLING IN.

4. IF YOU ARE USING PLANERS , CHOOSE THE PLANER THAT WILL TAKE YOUR ARTIFICIAL LURE TO 1 / 2 THE DEPTH THAT YOU ARE TROLLING.

5. USE A 50 # MONOFILAMENT LEADER THAT IS APPROXIMATELY 10 - 15 FEET FROM YOUR PLANER.

6. TRY DIFFERENT DEPTHS TO SEE WHERE THE FISH ARE BITING.

7.SURFACE LINES ON ONE SIDE OF THE BOAT, PUT ONE LINE APPROXIMATELY 50 FEET BEHIND THE BOAT. THE OTHER SIDE PUT ONE
LINE BACK APPROXIMATELY 100 FEET.

8. START TROLLING AT 1500 RPMS. THIS SHOULD BE APPROXIMATELY 4-5 MPH. IF NOTHING HAPPENS , THEN TRY SLOWING DOWN FOR AWHILE OR SPEEDING UP.

9. ONCE A FISH HITS, JUST SLOW THE BOAT DOWN AND REEL THE FISH IN.

Hair laser removal Washington DC

Hair laser removal Washington DC

Unwanted hair has been a problem ever since and especially for women. However, these days even men look up to grooming equally as women and wish to get rid of unwanted hair. There are a number of methods that have been used for hair removal like threading, waxing, hair removing creams etc. But none of these methods has resulted in permanent hair removal. However, with the help of laser technology permanent hair removal is possible and you can have a smooth hairless skin.

Who is eligible for a laser hair removal treatment?

When you approach a laser hair removal center then they would first check whether you are a suitable candidate to undergo a laser hair removal or not. Ideally a laser hair removal treatment is considered to best suit people who have a light skin color in comparison to the color of their hair. Moreover, it is also thought to be ideal for people who are fair and have a light skin color. For determining whether you are a suitable candidate for laser hair removal the doctor would usually check your skin and hair color. It is considered that people who have a dark skin color absorb a lot of laser radiation and hence are not considered to be ideally suited for laser hair removal treatment. At times laser hair specialists also do not consider people who are tanned and those who have light colored hair for this treatment." When you take up laser hair removal treatment you are required to meet the doctor for multiple sessions and more than this the treatment is expensive and you should be able to meet the cost of the treatment. Doctors or specialists doing the laser hair removal treatment usually advise their clients to avoid having foods that have high content of beta-carotene during the time when they are undergoing laser hair removal.

How much does the laser hair removal treatment cost ?

The cost of laser hair removal can vary greatly. Usually the cost is assessed according to the size of the area that is being treated. If you take up laser hair removal treatment in Washington DC then you can be charged almost $300 to $500 for every treatment session. Generally the permanent laser hair removal treatment requires 4 treatment sessions. If you are considering a laser hair removal treatment for a larger area like your back or arms of legs then you can be charged more for this. Treating small areas like eyebrows, upper lip, forehead would cost you a lesser amount. It is advised that before you make an appointment with the laser hair removal specialist you should confirm the price and other details so that you would know that you can afford taking the treatment.

The process of laser hair removal

When you go in for laser hair removal then you would have to in for various sessions depending upon the area that is being treated and the specialist who is handling your treatment. Multiple sessions are required because there are a number of dormant hair follicles under the skin that needs to be killed. If these follicles were left like that then they would replace the follicles that had been killed in the previous session. For making this hair removal permanent it is important that you go in for multiple sessions. The duration of each of these sessions varies on the area that is being treated and can vary from a few minutes to hours. The treatment does not involve much of pain and you would just have a tingling sensation. However at times when patients have pain the specialist would prescribe certain painkillers. When you go for treatment the excess hair on the area of treatment is removed and the area is exposed to the pulsing laser beam to destroy the hair follicles. Once this is done then the specialist would provide you with a soothing moisturizing treatment.

Here, a high intensity laser beam is made to penetrate inside the desired skin tissues, and deep within it produces checked amount of remedial heat. Also, a safe cooling technology implying burst of cryogen is employed, to protect over burning of the upper skin layer. All in all, a combined effect of lengthy laser pulse and cooling equipment give easy removal of hair, without much of pain and chaos. In Washington State DC, people prefer Laser hair removal rather than electrolysis process, as it has long lasting positive effect.


Minutiae of Laser Hair Removal in Washington DC:

In Washington State DC, many people are in favor of taking laser treatment for removal of hair from unwanted facial parts and haired body parts, as it is a quite suitable and comfortable technique.

There are numerous clinics for laser hair removal Washington DC area and the best way to go about finding these specializing clinics is to do an online search. By looking explicitly for laser hair removal in the DC area you will find many complete listings that contain all the practices that offer this service. Many of these laser hair removal Washington DC clinics even have websites so that you can inform yourself about then generally and only need to call or visit if you really find their offer appealing. The laser method of removing hair is effective and lasts either permanently or at least long term. The principle behind this hair removal method is quite simple and works because the hair follicles are aimed at with a laser beam that produces energy. This energy is taken in by the follicle's darker pigments and is then changed over into heat, and this heat in turn destroys the follicle for good. That means no more hair root can grow and in turn which ultimately means no more hair growth on that spot anymore, and since this is done for complete body or facial areas, there will be no more hair growing there, thus eliminating the need to shave. Laser hair removal can be used by both men and women equally and can remove unwanted hair from several body areas. The most common areas treated are the underarms, upper lip, legs, back and neck.


Once you have a list of clinics, the next thing to do is to look mare carefully into each clinic before actually deciding on any one of them. First it has to be confirmed that the laser treatment will be done by a practitioner with a license and that they also have experience in this field. The most troublesome laser hair removal cases were almost always done by non-licensed self proclaimed "specialists". Another thing to ask the clinic is if their laser device is also FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approved, and this is important because many practitioners do not use an approved laser device since there are so many bargains being offered, especially over the internet, and it is logical that a non-approved and possibly untested device just might be a bit more unsafe than the proven and tested ones. The use of an approved laser is a good sign and increases the probability that there will be the lowest possible risk of long term and short term side effects, such as discoloration, burning, pain, swelling, scarring and redness.


After the number of clinics has been reduced based on the laser criteria, then you have to ask about the price which varies from clinic to clinic and is based on many factors, such as your skin color, type and number of treatments needed for the desired results. The number of treatments needed is based on the type of hair follicles you have and just how permanent the hair removal should be.

Laser Hair Removal - What Is It?
Laser hair removal has been around for sometime. It's considered to be one of the safest ways for permanent hair removal. Laser hair removal is a low-energy laser applied over the area of unwanted hair. Low-energy laser damages the hair follicles. The hair gets burned-out without damaging skin or any other tissues. When laser hair removal is done professionally, there's a patch test first. This way you'll get the right laser and intensity. Don't let anybody treat you without doing patch test. One of the main benefits of laser hair removal is that it can be done on a large area of the body in one session. Procedure is little bit uncomfortable and many people experience little pain, but it doesn't require anesthesia. Local or topical anesthetic is usually applied if person experiences a higher degree of discomfort. Treatment is very effective. After several sessions, about 95 percent of unwanted hair has been removed. One huge benefit of laser hair removal is that it doesn't require any medications, needles or follow-ups. You don't need to go to hospital either. After laser hair removal session, skin might get little red where treatment was applied. It will not last longer than 24 hours. Unwanted hairs will fall off in 1-2 weeks after treatment. If you have a darker skin color and you are having a skin-lightening procedure such as bleaching, read carefully. Bleaching procedure should be done before getting laser hair removal treatment. Remember that don't get laser hair removal within 10 days to two weeks after bleaching procedure. If you want to boost effectiveness of laser hair removal, shave the unwanted hair couple days earlier before treatment. This way laser will have easier access to hair follicles.

How Laser Hair Removal Machines Work

Laser hair removal has become so popular that it is now the world's second most frequently performed cosmetic procedure, and has become a bread-and-butter business for many dermatologists, cosmetic surgeons, and laser hair removal system manufacturers since the first such system received FDA approval in 1995. Laser hair removal destroys the hair-growing capacity of hair follicles by targeting them with pulses of extremely high intensity light. Because of the increasing demand for laser hair removal procedures, more and more laser hair removal machines are being developed for the market, but no laser hair removal machine may be sold without first receivng the FDA's stamp of approval. The First Laser Hair Removal Machine The original laser hair removal machine, the Thermolase Corporation's Soft Light Hair Removal System, received FDA approval in 1995, but soon proved ineffective because it had been put on the market without being thoroughly tested. It was advertised as providing permanent painless hair removal, but eventually became the subject of a class action suit because of the inaccuracy of its claims. The suit was settled out of court, but Thermolase no longer manufactures laser hair removal machines. Next Generation Laser Hair Removal Machines One current laser hair removal machine, which operates by aiming a long pulse of laser light into the subdermal skin which holds the hair follicles, is the Alexandrite laser. The heat from the laser damages the hair follicles which are in the active hair growth phase, so that the hairs stop developing. Diode lasers are laser hair removal machines constructed of miniature diodes or semi-conductors arranged to produce light. The construction of the diode laser means that it can create a longer wavelength of laser light energy, which is very effective in treating dark-complected people for hair removal. Some dermatologists and cosmetic surgeons favor the Q-Switched Nd: YAG laser, because it can produce two lightwaves of varying lengths. For strong penetration, to affect the deep hair follicles, it uses infrared light; for the follicles nearer to the skin's surface, it uses green light. It delivers either wavelength of light in rapid pulses. The LuxuryPro laser hair removal machine is inexpensive, safe, and versatile. Ruby lasers utilize a short pulse red light to target the dark pigment in hair follicles. The most important factor in a successful laser hair removal treatment is the skill of the person administering it, and the variety of machines he or she has available to tailor the treatment to the specific needs of the client.You can also find more info on Laser Hair Removal Costs and Laser Hair Removal Prices.

Laser Hair Removal For Men

Laser hair removal is mostly thought of as a female dominated procedure. However, that couldn't be further from the truth! Laser hair removal has become one of the top non-surgical cosmetic procedures for anyone under the age of 35, and that includes both men and women. For those that don't know how laser hair removal works, it is basically a process by which a laser targets the melanin (hair pigment) of the hair, and kills surrounding hair follicles by extreme heat. Laser hair removal for men is popular because it targets excessive hair on the chest, neck, face, back, and abdomen. In the past, laser hair removal for men has mostly been attributed to athletes such as cyclists, swimmers, and bodybuilders who believe that excessive body hair can hold back their performance. This is just not the case anymore. Men from all walks of life are becoming interested in laser hair removal. There are many reasons for this, but for the most part men are paying more attention to their sex appeal. The fact is, most women don't find body hair attractive, and men are catching on. Treated in certain "trouble" spots, laser hair removal may induce a greater sense of confidence in men. However, laser hair removal for men is not all about vanity. Occasionally men just want a cleaner, well groomed appearance - minus the hassles. Laser hair removal can greatly cut the amount of hair cuts a man requires over the course of a year just by getting the procedure done around the neckline. Another benefit is reducing the amount of scruff around the neck and chin area. For some men, this can be a huge blessing as the 5 O'clock shadow can come much sooner than 5 O'clock. Imagine how much time and frustration you could save if you remove that hair permanently? Would you like to know more? Perhaps you'd be interested in the side effects of laser hair removal?

An Affordable Alternative to Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is a permanent hair removal process that has gained a considerable amount of popularity in recent years. The process works by using an intense, pulsating beam of light to remove unwanted hair. The laser passes through the skin where it targets dark, pigmented hair. When the light hits the hair follicle, the heat of the light destroys instantly destroys it. However, laser hair removal does not always remove the hair. Sometimes, it only slows its growth. Additionally, because the laser targets only the dark pigmented hairs, people who have blonde or red hair may not be able to receive desired results. It does not always work on people with dark skin. It is also important to realize that laser hair removal does not guarantee permanent hair removal, only an extended hair-free period and slowed growth. It can also take several treatments before the hair stops growing completely. Some people experience a hair free period that only lasts a few months, while it may last years for others. There are other options available in addition to laser hair removal. One in particular is much more successful and works on all types of hair. This system uses a radio frequency that transmitted through the hair, deadening the hair at the root. The treated hair is gone for good after a few applications. This is not something that the laser technique can guarantee. For more information on this system, visit NeverShaveAgain.com. You'll find that this is a great option and you only have to purchase the system a single time. Finally Free performs offers a hair removal technique superior to laser hair removal.

The Craigslist Profits Blueprint

The Craigslist Profits Blueprint


Introduction

Today, Craigslist is one of the most well known of all online urban communities on the web. It allows people to place free classified adverts relating to various subjects, as well as having forums where people can discuss various topics.

Craigslist was founded by Craig Newmark from the San Francisco Bay Area in 1995. Then it became incorporated in 1999. Since its incorporation as of November 2006, there were over 450 cities where a Craigslist has been established.

The business now operates with a team of 24 people, and the only way they make any revenue today is through the job adverts paid for in selected cities around the States. Ads placed by companies in the San Francisco Bay Area cost $75, while those placed by companies or businesses in New York, Los Angeles, San Diego, Boston, Seattle and Washington DC will cost them $25 for each advert placed. Also today, a real estate broker will need to pay $10 for any apartment listings they place on Craigslist for New York.

Today, this site is receiving over 500,000 new job listings each month, and so
makes it one of the top job boards in the world today. The classified adverts that are placed on this site range from more traditional ones where people are able to buy and sell goods, to community announcements…even personal adverts or erotic services are being provided through this site.

In its early years, most of the postings placed on the Craigslist were submitted by its founder, and were generally dealing with social events that were of interest to software and internet developers who lived and worked in the San Francisco area.

However, as more and more people learned about this site, it began to grow at an extremely high rate. Certainly, as more and more subscribers began to use the site, so the number of postings to it also began to grow as well.

Certainly those people who were looking to fill technical positions found this list to be a great way of reaching those with the necessary skills that they were searching for. Because of this, the demand for a section dedicated to jobs was created. Plus, the demand by the lists’ users for more categories to be able to post and search under also began to grow as well. It was at this time that more and more of the sites users asked for a web interface to be set up.
It was through the help of various volunteers and contractors that such a website user interface was created for each different mailing list category to be found on the list. As the domain required a name, Craig Newman first registered “craigslist.org” and then followed it up later on with “craigslist.com”, which helped to prevent the name from being used for some other purpose.
Certainly if you were to search on Craigslist today, the most popular of all the forums is the one known as the “Erotic Forum”. This forum is now often used by law enforcement agencies for decoy operations, and Craigslist co-operates in any way it can to help prevent its users from selling drugs, sex or stolen property through its listings.

Through this ebook, we are going to look at the ways in which a person can legally profit from using Craigslist. We will discuss the ways in which a person can set up a business in their own home, and which will provide them with a chance to earn an additional income or their main form of income.

The Craigslist Profits Blueprint


You may find it difficult to believe, but it is easily and possible for someone to earn a living from Craigslist. As more and more people have begun to realize, there are a number of different opportunities available to those who are willing to put in a little hard work so they can earn a living online.

For beginners, it is important that you have learned everything that there is that one needs to know about online communities like Craigslist. Plus, learning how to market themselves, as well as their products or skills, to those who might be interested in what they have to offer, has now become business.

The great thing about offering your services online, compared to providing them in the more conventional manner, is that you are setting no cap on just how much you can earn. But using this method does not mean that you will earn lots, mainly it will depend on what you are offering to others.

There are 2 ways in which a person can earn a living through Craigslist. They may decide to offer their services or products in the following ways:-

1. As an independent contractor who provides their services to a customer on a contract basis.
2. Or they offer their products or services to others in the same way that a small business owner would.

But there are many individuals who are using Craigslist in order to find a job (and thus, build their business).
In this particular chapter of our book, we will look at the way independent contractors and small business owners can utilize the services that Craigslist provides to their subscribers.

Independent Contractors

This is an excellent place for such people to offer their services, as well as being able to respond to adverts placed by others. As more and more companies, both big and small, look to outsourcing certain sections of their business, then there are plenty of individuals who have suddenly realized the advantages to be gained from these outsourcing opportunities as and when they arise.


These people are able to place adverts for the services that they provide, as well as being given the chance to respond to those adverts that they see where companies are seeking employees on a contract basis to provide the services that they can offer.

Today, you will find a section on Craigslist which is dedicated to offering services to their subscribers. Under this section, you will find various sub sections where a number of different services are now being offered. So the great thing is that you, as an independent contractor, are able to place your posting under the category that is most appropriate to the service that you can provide, and this will reach those that you are intending to target.
Plus, if you can not find a category that provides for your particular service, then you can also use the small business advertisement section in order for you to advertise your services. But you may find that it is a little more difficult for you to reach your target audience through the use of this category on Craigslist.

Many of those independent contractors who advertise their services on Craigslist have found that they have gained more business because they have responded to advertisements placed by those people, businesses and companies who are looking for contract based employees.
When searching for a position using Craigslist, a contractor can start their search by typing in a particular location. Then they can start to browse through the various different jobs that come up for that location by category.

The best and easiest way for anyone to find a contract job on this site is through the use of the search feature and by placing a tick in the contract box, which will then ensure that this term is used as part of the search requirements you request of the system. By doing this, you are assured that every position result provided to you will only be ones that are of a contract nature.

Small Business Owners

They can utilize this list in order that they may reach a much larger target audience, which will then help their business to grow. There are a couple of advantages to be had from using Craigslist, and these are as follows:-
1. It allows the small business owner to post an advert in the most appropriate category on the site. This can be extremely effective, as it now receives more than 4 billion page views each month, so there is potential for any small business to be able to reach a much larger and more potentially lucrative audience than they would using any other method of advertisement.
2. It allows them to use the discussion forums within Craigslist, which can help them to generate even greater profits for their business. But they should be wary of how they use promotional postings on these forums, as some people may mistake them for being spam. There is a very distinct way in which a person can post information regarding their business to these forums so that they are found informative by the readers, instead of it looking like spam, which is solely used to promote a business and nothing else.

Unfortunately, those businesses who use spamming are not only likely to find that they get overlooked by those in the forum, but may well find that Craigslist moderators will actually delete whatever it is that they have posted. They could even take much more severe action against that business, banning them from using their listings altogether.

Using Craigslist To Earn A Profit


The great thing is that Craigslist can be used in a number of different ways for a person to earn a profit from it. Certainly some of the most popular ways that people are now using this particular site is to advertise their product or services, to meet people or just to find a job.
In this particular chapter, we will take a closer look at three ways a person can use Craigslist.

Advertising

This is probably one of the best ways for a person to utilize what Craigslist has to offer. Certainly, many people who are looking to make a profit from either a product, or service that they are selling, will turn to this particular site for one of two reasons.

The two main reasons why people are so keen to use Craigslist is the costs to advertise (extremely affordable) and they know that this site comes with a large pre-existing audience.
In fact, the only charges that Craigslist makes when it comes to advertising on this particular site, is for postings relating to job advertisements, and only in certain market areas, and for housing advertisements that have been placed in one city (New York). So advertising your product or service on this site is actually free.

Because Craigslist is now receiving around 10 million visitors to it each month, and these are then generating around about 4 billion page views a month, you will find that, by placing an advertisement here, it will help you to reach a much larger target audience than you would normally do through other methods of advertising your business (and, as already mentioned, at a much more affordable price for your advertisements).

Meeting People

Today, this section of Craigslist is devoted to providing individuals with the chance to post or read advertisements from others that are seeking plutonic or romantic relationships, no matter what their sexual orientation is.
However, only those over the age of 18 are allowed access to this particular
section of Craigslist. Plus, other restrictions have been placed upon this section above the normal restrictions required of those who set up websites on the internet today.

One of these restrictions, and probably the most important of all, is that you may not impersonate someone else when placing an advertising posting at this site.
As the site has a number of different discussion forums available to its subscribers, it provides people with a chance to meet like minded souls.
The diversity of users is part of what makes Craigslist such an attractive place for advertising. There are sure to be others interested in the subject of your product or service…you simply have to be able to find them.

Finding Jobs

Many people who have come to Craigslist are often searching for a new job, or looking for a change in their career. This section of the site is quite extensive, and all jobs posted are broken down into various different categories.

By doing this, it makes the search for a particular position much easier for the user to find. Plus, the search features on this site allow the user to search for a job by using particular words or phrases. They can also search for those jobs by using a certain set of criteria in relation to the job that they are interested in.

They can look for things such as contract positions, internships, part time, as well as full time positions, and those positions available in non profit organizations.
This section of the site also allows the user to post their CV (resume) for
consideration. It is not as well organized as the rest of the site, but those who
know how to write a CV which is going to catch a potential employer’s eye, will do well using this section of the Craigslist.


Some Tips To Get You Started


You will soon discover that there are lots to be found on Craigslist, including both new, and second hand merchandise. But in this chapter, we will look at some tips which will help you to get started using this site, and help you to earn a profit.

The first thing that you need to do is create an account. Although not required, it is certainly beneficial, as posting items to the site is much simpler, and you will not need to wait for an email to arrive before you confirm that you want to submit a posting.

Open an Account

Also, by opening an account, it allows you to view and edit any listings you have posted, as well as view any of your old postings as well.

Next, you need to go the city where you are residing. Today, Craigslist offers
listings in 300 cities in not just the USA, but in another 50 countries around the world also. All you need to do is key in your City name in order to go the Craigslist section for that area.

Include a Picture

When posting anything for sale to Craigslist, ensure that you include pictures.
Many people miss this option, but you will see one when creating your listing that says “Add/Edit Images”. All you need to do is have the images held either on your computer, or digital camera, and then you can upload them to Craigslist. Once uploaded, a copy of the image will be held on the system while the posting remains active.
Unfortunately, for those who do not include a picture in the listing, people will often ask if the seller has one (which means a lot more work and hassle emailing pictures to interested parties).
Also, they will generally move on to the next listing, or those that already have images with their posting or are willing to provide one when asked.

Look at other Craigslist Postings

If you look on the left hand side of the site, you will see a “best of” link, and these are the postings which have been nominated by the users as being interesting, funny or just down right crazy.

Unfortunately, none of these are endorsed by Craigslist, so be wary when looking at them, as they may not be appropriate for children to be looking at (or even some adults for that matter!).

But by looking at them yourself, it may provide you with a way to show your
service or product off to its best advantage, and help you to earn additional profit for your business.
Certainly, by keeping these tips in mind, you should be advertising your services or products much more effectively on Craigslist.


Ways To Make Money

Craigslist is an online community where its users are able to buy or sell items, as well as looking for jobs or even meet and find new friends. It also allows its users to exchange information. This has now become the most complete site around the world, not just in the USA, offering free classified ads to those that peruse its pages.

Currently, Craigslist is averaging around 4 billion page views a month, and so it can offer those who want them, a wealth of financial opportunities, especially if they are willing to capitalize on this site’s popularity. So if you are really keen to set up your own online business which can be run from the comfort of your own home, then it is advisable that you start looking for a service or product which you can advertise on Craigslist, and just see what results you achieve.
So let’s take a look at some ways that you can make money through using Craigslist.

Sell products that are tangible on your Website

It can either be through a special offer or a sale. But all you need to do is go to the right category on Craigslist, and then submit a posting in relation to what it is you are offering for sale, along with the price that you are offering it at. Certainly, the better the deal you can provide to those visiting the site, then the more visitors it will bring to yours.

Selling products or services on eBay

Unfortunately, using this method in order to make money could be a problem if you do not have sufficient goods to sell. Plus, placing any sort of listing on eBay is going to cost you. However, with Craigslist if you go to the “for sale” and then “free” section in various categories, you will be amazed at just what people are giving away. You can then get these goods for yourself, and if you want, start selling them on eBay, and make your profit from Craigslist in that way.

Selling Affiliate Products

If you are looking for a way to earn money at home by use of the internet, one way is to get involved in affiliate marketing. However, you will need to read the terms of service in relation to affiliate marketing on Craigslist, as this is not normally allowed. But there are ways in which you can either suggest or recommend to those that use Craigslist, in order for them to purchase the affiliate products that you are offering.


As there are so many people now turning to Craigslist in order to look for products and services that are being offered to them, then you should not miss out if you are looking for a way to earn a living from home through using the internet. All the users of this site are highly targeted (and already categorized for your convenience) and will be keen to find what it is that they want. So the sooner you get your Craigslist campaign under way, then the sooner you can start watching your profits climb.

You could also use the eBay affiliate system to make money; find people looking to buy a certain item. Now go to eBay and find that particular item, add your affiliate id to the link, and contact the prospect, sending them the link to the item.


How to Post Your Ad on Craigslist

Posting your ad is really quite easy and straightforward to do. Plus, the other great thing is that any advert you do post here, unless it relates to a job listing (for certain major cities), it is free.

There are actually a couple of different ways in which you can post your adverts on to the site, and below we will take you through each one step by step.

First, you need to find the city you want to post your advert in. Actually finding your city, or the one in which you want to post your advert, is very easy indeed. On the right hand side of the page you will see the following list subdivided out as follows:-
1. Countries
2. States
3. Cities
4. Provinces

So, say for example you live in the United States, and then you just click on the state and the area which is closest to where you are. However, you may find that if you live in one of the major US cities, such as New York, Washington DC, Las Vegas etc., then it is probably already showing up on the home page of this site.

However if you live in another country, then finding the area that is closest to you is just as easy…just click on the country where you live, and then search through until you find a location that is close to where you reside.

The next step is where you need to find the category that you want to post your advert in. So if, for example, you want to place an ad in the small biz ads category, you will need to go into services, and then go to the link that says “sm biz ads” and click on it.

Now you have entered the category where you are interested in posting your advert, you need to click on the post link button. This link can be found in the top right hand corner of the page.
You will now be presented with a list of all the categories in the services section again, and you should immediately click on the link which says “small biz ads”.
Once this has been clicked, you will find that you can actually start to post your ad. Below we will take a look at just how this looks.

1. Posting Title - This is required, and you should make it not only very descriptive, but also as catchy as possible. You want to draw the attention of those using Craigslist to what you are offering. There are thousands of ads…make sure yours doesn’t get lost in the sea!

2. Specific Location - Although you do not need to enter any information into this section if you do not want to, you should at least put in the area where you are located.
3. Price - This is located right next to the location box, and again it is up to you whether you enter any information into this or not.
4. Posting Description - This is where the main part of your advertisement is placed, and will tell those reading it what they will be getting, and the benefits they can gain from it. It all depends on what you are offering, and what your intentions are in relation to the ad that you have placed, as to how descriptive it is. So if you happen to be selling a product, then it is best that you provide the best description possible to those reading the advert.

However, if you are just trying to get them to come to your own website, or to click on an affiliate link that you have, then maybe just providing them with a few teaser lines is the best option, and will get them going to your website in order to learn more about what you have to offer. Again, be very careful using a technique like this, as it is something that *could* get you banned. Be creative, and find ways to work within the confines of the rules that Craigslist has in place.

5. Email Address - The final part of the process of placing an advert on Craigslist is to input your email address. It is vital that you input an email address which you use regularly, and so will be checking on a regular basis. Also, make sure that the one you input is valid, because at the end of the process, Craigslist will send an email to you in order to finalize the listing that you have posted. It is important to note that any postings you make will not go live until you have responded to the email sent from the site.


Adding Images

Not all categories allow you to add an image. For those that do, you will see that there is a button which says “Add/Edit Images”.
By clicking on this link, you are then able to gain access to the locations on your computer where your images are stored, and find the one that is most appropriate to your posting.

By adding an image to your advert, you are potentially increasing the number of click through that your ad will receive. Even if you are just using a generic picture that you have obtained from your website, it is best if you post this as opposed to nothing at all.

Permissions Box

This box gives permission to others to contact you with regard to other
commercial interests, products or services related to what you are offering. It is optional whether you allow others permission to contact you or not.
After completing all the sections above, you will then come to a button which says “continue”. You need to click on this, as it will show you the advert you have just produced. It allows you to review it at this stage and make any changes to it.

If you do need to make any changes, then just click on the “Edit” button and carry out the alterations as you need to. As soon as you are satisfied with what you have produced, you then need to type in the verification code provided in the box below, and then click on the “continue” button again.

As soon as you have clicked this button, you will go on to the next page, where the terms and conditions relating to placement of ads, and below these are a 2 buttons. One asks you to “accept the terms of use” and the other asks whether you wish to “decline the terms of use”. However, in order for your listing to be accepted, you must accept the terms and conditions of use button.

Upon clicking on this button you will then be taken to a page that asks you to
check your email so that you may finalize the posting. So, as soon as you are able to, go to your email address (the one you provided at the beginning of the process) and by clicking on the link, it then allows you to either Post, Edit or Delete the listing that you have just entered.

By following the simple instructions provided in the email that has been sent to you, you will soon be on your way to placing your first advertisement, and then start to earn from using Craigslist in the future.

After a few minutes, your advert will then appear live on the site, and once you have done a few of these postings, you will start to wonder just what all the fuss was about in the beginning when you first started.

Final Words

Certainly many people have now heard the name Craigslist, but they are still unsure as to just what this site can be used for.

However today, this site is now receiving over 4 billion page views each month, so there do seem to be some people who have a better understanding of what it is, and the types of services that it can offer.

But essentially, Craigslist is very similar in many ways to the classified sections of newspapers, where people are able to post or respond to advertisements within them.
However with Craigslist, a person is provided with a number of different advertisements, all online, and which can be found in various different categories, so it makes it much easier for those searching for information on products or services to find the advertisements that have been posted to it.

Today, many people are now using Craigslist as a way for them to earn either an additional salary, or as their main salary. They can do this through a number of different ways, but the main two we have been looking at through this book relates to:-
1. Promoting a business.
2. Selling products or services on it.

In fact, in recent moves, Craigslist has become one of the most popular ways to date for a business, whether it is large or small, to promote itself. No matter the size of the business, each ad that they place (unless it happens to relate to a job) will be completely free of charge.
Any business owner can place their advertisement in the services section of Craigslist, and this section is then broken down into a number of different categories in order to allow them to place their advert in the most appropriate location, and the one in which it is likely to reach their target audience.

Although there is a small business section, it may well be worth your while placing your adverts in those categories which are best suited to what you are offering, rather than in a general category. By doing this, you are more likely to reach those people that are interested in what you have to offer.

It is also vital that you take part in discussion forums, as this is a great place
where you can provide insightful information, and provide people with accurate responses to questions that they may have raised. It also allows you to provide a link in this section where you can then help to drive even more traffic to your website.

However, it is important that, when taking part in such forums, you avoid making your postings in such a way that people will look at them and think that they are spam (in other words, provide no use aside from blatant self promotion), which will simply steer them away from what you are trying to provide to them.

You may well find that those who mediate for Craigslist could well remove your posting from the site completely, and if they perceive that you are spamming too much, may remove you from being a subscriber to their services.
As well as being able to promote your business, the other way many people are now earning a profit from Craigslist is through selling items on it.
You are allowed to sell both new and used items through this site, and unlike with eBay, you can post a number of different items to it, and you will not be charged a single cent for posting them to this site.

As with eBay, this site allows you to post your items into various different categories, and allows you to supply a description of the item and how much it will cost to purchase. Plus, it also allows people to place adverts for items that they want, and again, these can be placed at no cost to you whatsoever.

However, when it comes to posting adverts for items for sale, there are some
restrictions in place to those items which can not be sold through Craigslist. This includes firearms or pornographic items. Anyone trying to make their money in this way will soon find themselves on the wrong side of the law. Craigslist works closely with law enforcement agencies of all types to help ensure that the site is not being used for illegal purposes.
Overall, if you are seriously considering ways of making a profit from running an online business, or are already running one and wish to expand, then it may well be worth your while taking a more in depth look at just what Craigslist can offer you.

Good Luck!
