Paracord Fishing Lanyards

  One thing this year with my kids was try to learn something new.  One thing was to learn the art of parcord or 550 cord lanyard making.  For anyone out there there is a plethora of online tutorials that we found for free on youtube or just plain Google searches that with step by step show you how to do anything.   This was something my kids and I found easy to pick up on and since we started my boys have started selling some of there work to help them raise money to fund there hobbies.  And yes I help them with it as well.  I have found it somewhat quite relaxing to do.   When we sit together as a family to learn a new pattern and i have there undivided attention, I know that is quality time well spent with the kids.  One lanyard that I was able to taylor to my fishing, I added a whistle, pill bottle for a fishing license and some clippers for cutting fishing line.  The neck lanyards we have started making I feel are customizable to each persons style of fishing.  Hope you like what we have been doing and I hope to see you on the water.  

A Scientific Way Of How I Make Catfish Bait.

  One of my favorite times of the year is upon us and a favorite fish to catch is catfish.  What I would like to share today with you is a way I sometimes prepare bait for catfish.  This is by no way the only way, and everywhere you go someone has there own special way and secrets to doing things.  This is one of my ways.

 Items you will need.

1. Chicken Livers
2. Chicken Gizzards
3. 2 cans of Sardines in oil
4. Garlic Powder
5. Vacuum pump and a vacuum chamber
   

  This is really easy.

1.  Mix all items together in the vacuum chamber
   
   
   
   
2. Hook up machine and remove all the air you can.
   
   
   
   

    As the air is pumped out all the flavors will begin to infuse within each other for the makings of a catfish delight.  I will let this sit in the chamber for about 24 hours, every now and then shaking it around to stir it up.  As you do this you will be able to see bubbles rise in the chamber showing you the good stuff is getting all in.

    After 24 hours I will freeze half for another time and the other half will be place in another container that will sit outside in a safe place for
One or two days to stink up prior to using.
 
The gizzrds will hold up un the hook longer than just the liver but the oils from the liver and the sardines is what will help carry the scent and bring the fish to the bait.
This method has given me good luck in the past and i hope that you will find this will help you out and give you an idea for your own brew for a catfish magnet, until then tight lines and happy fishing.
