Understand that it is likely to be quite difficult to land larger fish with puny bait. Smaller fish enjoy smaller bait, and larger fish enjoy larger bait. Larger fish, such as Pike or Muskie, may be attracted to bait such as Bluegill or crappie.
Set aside time to properly care for your reels. When fishing, casting and reeling in are amongst the main key skills. If you lubricate your reel properly, you will find it easier to cast and reel in. Proper maintenance of your reel can make all the difference.
Whether it's sunny outside or not, it's always a good idea to bring sunscreen along. Water can have a stronger effect with the reflection on the water, producing a painful sunburn for you, if you are not protected.
Early morning or late evening hours are best for bass fishing. During these times, bass will come out and begin to feed. Overcast days may cause feeding all day, so keep that in mind also.
Time and temperature are two important variables when it comes to fishing. For example, bass are most active when the sun rises or sets as their food is active at those times. A water temperature of 50 degrees or above is the most favorable for fishing during these times.
Use more bait or larger lures for larger fish. It may seem obvious to the experienced fisherman to use a larger bait, however, it may be overlooked by the casual fisherman. Bigger fish will see the larger bait as a good meal for it to eat and will take advantage of the opportunity. Also, smaller fish wont try and go after bigger lures so your chances of catching a big fish are much greater.
Every time you go fishing, consider the season, the weather and take the time to look over a lake map. Even if you've been to an area many times before, it is important to investigate your surroundings a bit each time you go. You may be able to find a spot that you have previously overlooked. Sites exist that will assist you in figuring out forecasts, wind conditions, and levels of water.
Hooks are grouped by numbers, with smaller hooks having the higher numbers, and larger hooks having smaller numbers. The small hooks, size 10 to 14, are good for perch. Large hooks, size 6 to 8, are best for bass or walleye.
Be aware of your surroundings when fishing. It is common for many fishermen to smoke, and so it is very important to be careful not to accidentally light something on fire. While the bank might be damp, the leaves and debris nearby may be dry and easily able to catch fire.
When employing a net to bring in a fish, always ensure the fish goes in head first. Trying to net a fish from the tail end can spook it allowing it to go on another run which could easily snap your line if you are not careful.
You have probably learned some new ways to become a better fisherman and enjoy it even more. Whether fishing in saltwater expeditions or spending time alone in canoes, fishing is a great pastime. boat anchor
