Hand-line fishing

Handlining is one of the oldest forms of fishing and is still common. The method consists of a single fishing line with a weight and one or more lure-like hooks are attached. The line is jigged or moved up and down in a series of short movements, most often close to the sea floor. The motion attracts the fish, which are normally caught while trying to eat the lure but also as they move close to the jigged lure. The line is then hauled onboard and the fish removed. Handlining are most often used to catch groundfish and squid but also other species are sometimes caught, including pelagic zone species.

Ivu

An Ivu, or ice shove is a surge of ice from the ocean onto the shore. They are caused by ocean currents and winds blowing multi-year ice onto the shore, creating piles up to 40 feet high. Some have described them as ‘ice tsunamis’.

Whitley Bay Ice Rink

Whitley Bay Ice Rink is an ice rink in Whitley Bay and is the home of the Whitley Warriors ice hockey team. It is the only permanent ice rink in the north east of England and has a ten-pin bowling centre in the area upstairs.

It was also the region’s premier concert venue until the Newcastle Arena (now MetroRadio Arena) opened in 1995. The venue played host to the top names in the music industry throughout the 1980s and 1990s, such as The Cure in 1985, the Pet Shop Boys in 1991, Oasis in 1996 and the Stone Roses in 1995.

In 2005, the ice rink was used to film BBC sitcom Thin Ice. Even though the series was set in Derby, Whitley Bay Ice Rink was chosen because the production company had used the venue on numerous occasions in the past. Although Whitley Bay Ice Rink is not mentioned in the credits, Whitley Bay is mentioned where the British Championships were to be held there.

In 2006 the ice rink was criticized by local authorities after demonstrating exceedingly poor fire regulations when a blaze was discovered. Skaters continued on the ice whilst the fire escalated.

Fishing fleet

A fishing fleet is an aggregate of commercial fishing vessels. The term may be used of all vessels operating out of a particular port, all vessels engaged in a particular type of fishing (as in the “tuna fishing fleet”), or all fishing vessels of a country or region.

Although fishing vessels are not formally organized as if they were a naval fleet, very often the constraints of time and weather are such that they must all leave or return together, thus creating at least the appearance of an organized body. Fishermen operating a particular type of vessel or in a particular port often belong to a local association which disseminates information and may be used to coordinate activities, such as how best to prevent overfishing in particular areas.

Rock fishing

Rock fishing is the act of fishing, usually with a rod and line, from rocky headlands, cliff tops, and break-walls into the sea. It is a popular pastime in Australia, primarily in the southern half of the country. It can be a dangerous pastime claiming many lives each year.


Rock fishing techniques

Rock fishing is done with a rod, reel, and line. When you are rock fishing would use an umbrella rig in the spring, and in the summer and fall you would use bait fish such as perch and bluegill. Using an umbrella rig, is a method of trolling. An umbrella rig us usually 4 plastic neon green lures, with a lead dragging behind. On the lead dragging behind there is usually a neon green lure with one or two hooks in it for catching the fish. The reason the dragging one only has hooks is because as it drags behind a few inches the stalking fish thinks its wounded or sick so it attacks that lure, and the fish has been caught. The other method of rock fishing is using bait fish. This method you use rod, reel, and hooks. you can go to the store and buy the bait fish or catch them your self. You cut the bait fish in to 1/4 wide by 1 inch long slice’s and place them on your hook. Then put the hooks in the water and wait for a bite.

Ice pack

An ice pack (commonly used therapeutically) is a plastic sac of crushed or cubed ice, refrigerant gel or liquid, or even frozen vegetables.
This refrigerant, usually non-toxic, can absorb a lot of heat, since its specific heat is very high.

It is commonly used to alleviate the pain of minor injuries.

The most common type of ice pack is simply a sack, bag, or towel filled with cubed or crushed ice.

Ice packs are used in coolers (insulated closed boxes for food) to keep disease-bearing foods (meats, milk products, eggs, etc.) below 41 degrees Fahrenheit to keep them safe for eating. If the foods and the ice packs fill the cooler directly from the freezer, then the equivalent of 10 to 20 pounds of ice is needed for each 24 hour period. If the ice pack is filled with a coolant, then the same weight may last longer. If the foods come from the refrigerator then they will not stay cool as long with the same size ice pack. These foods should remain over 41 degrees F and under 165 degrees F for no longer than 4 hours accumulated over their entire existence. In that way, ice packs can be considered equivalent to a larger mass of ice.

Ice packs have the added benefit over ice that they do not cross-contaminate foods as ice can do when it turns liquid and mixes with the foods.

Icemaker

An icemaker is a device often found inside a freezer that is used to make ice. Ice machine usually refers to a standalone appliance that it built for making large quantities of ice. Commercial ice cube makers improve the quality of ice by using moving water. Basically the faster the water moves the better the ice quality. Air and undissolved solids will be washed away to such an extent that in horizontal evaporator machines the water has 98% of the solids removed resulting in very hard virtually pure ice. In vertical evaporators the ice is softer, more so if there are actual individual cube cells.

Hair rig

The Hair Rig is piece of fishing tackle allowing you to present baits without them sitting directly on your hook, therefore improving its efficiency. They are mainly associated with boilies but also work effectively with most other baits. The hair rig became popular in the 70’s and has revolutionised carp fishing. It has been experimented with by English anglers.

At the beginning, in order to link the bait to the hook they were using some natural wire (from a ponytail). This is why they called it the ‘Hair rig’. This material was very discreet but it was a little fragile. The bait also didn’t act natural enough. In tests the carp only took the free offerings and left the hook bait. It was a problem because sometimes they lost their baits while they were casting. With the appearance of braided thread, this problem has been solved. Indeed, this new material allows to obtain threads which are as discreet as natural ones but more resistant.

Bottom fishing is the act of fishing the bottom of a body of water. A common rig for fishing on the bottom is a weight tied to the end of the line, and a hook about an inch up line from it. Bottom fishing can be both done from boats and from coasts. Bottom fishing can produce many fish, but is most productive at getting sucker fish, bream, catfish, and crappie (in the right conditions). Specialized fishing rods called donkas are also commonly used for bottom fishing.

Spoonplug

A spoonplug is a form of fishing lure. It was invented in 1946 by Elwood L. “Buck” Perry, then a physics and math teacher in Hickory, North Carolina. Perry combined science with a logical approach to fishing to create a “total fishing system.” He decided to teach people to fish instead of teaching math or physics. He is credited as being the father of structure fishing and was later inducted into the National Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame.

Buck used a total fishing system of understanding lakes types, water color, weather, tools and controls, and structure and mapping to make the system work.


Quotes

Perry’s motto or most famous quote is “knowledge is key to success”.

Ice cream cake

Ice cream cake is either ice cream in the shape of a cake or ice cream and cake layered together to make a single form. The idea of ice cream cake came from desserts composed of cream and cookies or cake called trifles, which first turned up in the Renaissance. Ice cream cake can be used for birthday cakes.

Victorians made desserts called bombes, which consisted of ice cream and fruit in fancy molds. Sometimes these desserts were lined with cake or biscuits. Ice cream cake recipes dating to the 1870s have also been found.

Today, ice cream cakes are made in many ice cream stores and in many different varieties, including tin roof pie.

Ice stream

An ice stream is a region of an ice sheet that moves significantly faster than the surrounding ice. Ice streams are significant features of the Antarctic where they account for 10% of the volume of the ice. They are up to 50 km wide and 2 km thick. They stretch for hundreds of kilometres and account for most of the ice leaving the ice sheet, and entering the ice shelf.

The speed of the ice in the ice stream can be 1,000 meters per year, an order of magnitude faster than the surrounding ice. The shear forces at the edge of the ice stream causes deformation and recrystallization of the ice from hard glacial ice to a softer and more brittle form. Crevasses form particularly around the shear margins.

The causes of ice streams vary, though most are associated with sub-ice water streams, which lubricate the ice flow. The type of bedrock also is significant. Soft, plastic sediments result in the fastest flow.


List of Ice streams

  • East Antarctic Ice Stream
  • Whillans Ice Stream (Ice Stream B)
  • Evans Ice Stream
  • Kamb Ice Stream
  • Rutford Ice Stream
  • Bailey Ice Stream
  • Foundation Ice Stream

Sega Marine Fishing

Sega Marine Fishing is a line of simulation games in which the player attempts to catch various marine sport fish. The gameplay’s emphasis was on enticing fish to bite onto the lure and then successfully fighting the fish and reeling it to the boat.

As the player catches fish, they earn item cards. Items earned with these cards include fish and artifacts for an aquarium, fishing equipment, additional boats, and various goofy accessories such as different colored shorts. The game also featured two modes of online play: tournament fishing and “fish mail”. In tournament fishing, players competed to catch the biggest fish within a species. Fish mail consisted of writing short messages. Players could receive random messages by catching fish.

Sega Marine Fishing can be played using the Dreamcast fishing rod controller.

Cook Ice Shelf

Cook Ice Shelf () is an ice shelf about 55 miles wide, occupying a deep recession of the coastline between Cape Freshfield and Cape Hudson. This ice shelf was called a bay by the Australasian Antarctic Expedition, 1911-14, under Douglas Mawson, who named it for Joseph Cook, Prime Minister of the Commonwealth of Australia in 1914. The generic term has been amended, as the bay is permanently filled by an ice shelf.

Fishing fleet

A fishing fleet is an aggregate of commercial fishing vessels. The term may be used of all vessels operating out of a particular port, all vessels engaged in a particular type of fishing (as in the “tuna fishing fleet”), or all fishing vessels of a country or region.

Although fishing vessels are not formally organized as if they were a naval fleet, very often the constraints of time and weather are such that they must all leave or return together, thus creating at least the appearance of an organized body. Fishermen operating a particular type of vessel or in a particular port often belong to a local association which disseminates information and may be used to coordinate activities, such as how best to prevent overfishing in particular areas.

Fowler Ice Rise

Fowler Ice Rise () is a very large ice rise between Evans Ice Stream and Carlson Inlet, in the southwest part of Ronne Ice Shelf. The feature appears to be completely ice covered except for Haag Nunataks which protrude above the surface in the northwest portion. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) Landsat imagery taken 1973-74, and named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for Capt. Alfred N. Fowler, USN (Ret.), Commander, U.S. Naval Support Force, Antarctica, 1972-74.

Snow White (ice cream float)

Snow White is a dessert that consists of 7 Up and vanilla ice cream. It is usually made by scooping ice cream into a glass or mug, and then pouring in 7-Up. The combination of the two ingredients generates a frothy foam, which often overflows out of the container.

Floats are usually eaten with a spoon. A popular technique is to take some ice cream in the spoon, dip it in the soft drink, and eat it. When all of the solid ice cream is eaten, the remaining mixture of soft drink and melted ice cream can be drunk either with or without a straw.
Another method is to mix the ice cream and soft drink together, then drink the concoction after the ice cream has melted.

The origins of this dessert is unknown, but found in some Asian eateries.

Icemaker

An icemaker is a device often found inside a freezer that is used to make ice. Ice machine usually refers to a standalone appliance that it built for making large quantities of ice. Commercial ice cube makers improve the quality of ice by using moving water. Basically the faster the water moves the better the ice quality. Air and undissolved solids will be washed away to such an extent that in horizontal evaporator machines the water has 98% of the solids removed resulting in very hard virtually pure ice. In vertical evaporators the ice is softer, more so if there are actual individual cube cells.

Long Key Fishing Camp

Long Key Fishing Camp was established on Long Key in Florida in 1908 by Henry M. Flagler’s Florida East Coast Railway Company for the use of tourists to enjoy what was described as “some of the best fishing in the world.” It initially served a housing for some of the employees who were building the Overseas Railroad to Key West.

Long Key Fishing Camp featured a two-story hotel and a number of cottages. The camp was made famous by author Zane Grey, who was a regular resident, and a pioneer of the sport of sail fishing. Grey became the first president of the Long Key Fishing Club in 1917. The list of other early distinguished guests included Herbert Hoover, Franklin Roosevelt, Andrew Mellon, Charles Kettering, and other notables.

The fishing camp was destroyed by the Labor Day Hurricane of 1935, as was the Overseas Railroad. After the latter was destroyed, the Overseas Highway (U.S. Route 1), was built across Long Key in replacement.

Screen (ice hockey)

In ice hockey, a screen is when a player is obstructing the goaltender’s view of the puck. The word can also be used as a verb, commonly “don’t screen the goaltender”, or “the goalie was screened“. Screens can be both planned, as when an attacking forward positions himself in front of the net, or accidental, like when a defensemen accidentally blocks the goalie’s view. Attacking players may attempt to take advantage of a screen by taking a shot.

Ice pack

An ice pack (commonly used therapeutically) is a plastic sac of crushed or cubed ice, refrigerant gel or liquid, or even frozen vegetables.
This refrigerant, usually non-toxic, can absorb a lot of heat, since its specific heat is very high.

It is commonly used to alleviate the pain of minor injuries.

The most common type of ice pack is simply a sack, bag, or towel filled with cubed or crushed ice.

Ice packs are used in coolers (insulated closed boxes for food) to keep disease-bearing foods (meats, milk products, eggs, etc.) below 41 degrees Fahrenheit to keep them safe for eating. If the foods and the ice packs fill the cooler directly from the freezer, then the equivalent of 10 to 20 pounds of ice is needed for each 24 hour period. If the ice pack is filled with a coolant, then the same weight may last longer. If the foods come from the refrigerator then they will not stay cool as long with the same size ice pack. These foods should remain over 41 degrees F and under 165 degrees F for no longer than 4 hours accumulated over their entire existence. In that way, ice packs can be considered equivalent to a larger mass of ice.

Ice packs have the added benefit over ice that they do not cross-contaminate foods as ice can do when it turns liquid and mixes with the foods.

Fishing lure

In terms of sport fishing, a lure is an object attached to the end of the fishing line and designed to resemble and move like an item of fish prey. Lures are equipped with one or more single,double, or treble hooks that are used to hook fish when they attack the lure. Motion is imparted to lures by winding line back on to a reel, by sweeping, jigging movements with a fishing rod, or by being pulled behind a moving boat (”trolling“). An exception is fly lures, commonly called “flies” by fishermen, which either float on the water surface, slowly sink or float underwater, and are based on real behavior of insect being resembled.

Lures are usually used on a fishing rod and fishing reel outfit. When a lure is used for casting, it is continually cast out and sometimes retrieved, the retrieve making the lure swim. A skilled fishermen can explore many possible hiding places for fish through lure casting.

There are many types of fishing lures:

  • jig
  • wobbler
  • surface lures
  • spoon lures
  • plugs (fishing)
  • fly lures
  • Texas Rigs
  • Mormyshka
  • Trout worms
  • Bass worms
  • Spinnerbait
  • Crankbait
  • Swimbait
  • Jerkbait
  • Carolina Rig

Ice shanty

An ice shanty (also called a fishing shanty, fish house, bobhouse, or ice hut) is a portable shed placed on a frozen lake to provide shelter during ice fishing. They can be as small and cheap as a plastic tarp draped over a frame of two-by-fours, or as expensive as a small cabin with heat, bunks, electricity and cooking facilities.

Many northern communities have developed bodies of laws about the operation of ice shanties - frequently including dates by which they must be removed, even if the ice can still hold them.Remove Bobhouses Today!


Folklore

In northern climates, ice shanties are the center of a large, often humorous, folklore. Fishermen often decorate their ice shanties in humorous ways (toilets are a popular joke addition), while others studiously work on ways to make their ice shanties more comfortable and efficient. Much of the folklore involves the inherent danger of erecting a structure atop a frozen pond. A common saying goes that every lake has at least one bobhouse on the bottom (at least one snowmobile, too).
