| Is President Obama Going To Ban Sport Fishing? There is much outcry from both conservative and liberal groups about the possibility of Obama banning sport fishing. An ESPN blog got it started and many on both sides have run with it. The controversy revolves around the ending of the public comment period for a policy group studying what to do about fishing zones and where you can and can not fish. Fishing has already been banned by the Bush administration in some areas. This was done supposedly to protect endangered or threatened fish species. One comment on the liberal Media Matters site asks "When did fishing become a right?" Actually, many states, including mine here in Georgia, have passed constitutional amendments that say hunting and fishing is a right. Read both sides of this controversy and then share your thoughts in the comments section below. Is President Obama Going To Ban Sport Fishing?

| How To Fish A Carolina Rig Carolina rigs took the fishing world by storm a few years ago when some tournaments were won on them.

| Life Jackets and Kill Switches Everyone knows fast boats can kill you. But a simple action that takes only a few seconds can save your life. Every time you crank your engine on a boat, especially a bass boat, you should be wearing your life jacket and have a kill switch attached. Although foot gas controls on boats have helped, you don't want your gas motor in gear and running if you get thrown out. And you want to stay afloat. Most tournaments require life jackest to be worn and kill switches attached any time the big motor is running.

Do You Need A Sebile Magic Swimmer Sinking Model Swimbait In Your Tacklebox?

The original model sinks, but slowly. Some fishermen wanted a bait that would get deeper faster so Sebile came out with the sinking model. It fills a needed niche in your tacklebox - a hard swim bait that will get deeper faster but still have good action.
