Find a good place for catching fish, and then go a little upstream to cast. This causes your bait and hook to move past the fish. The natural motion caused by the drift helps attract the fish to the bait. This strategy works quite well if the sought after fish dwell under an obstruction.

 

If you are concerned about the conservation of fish, then you could always catch them, and release them back into the water. Many people employ this method of fishing because it saves the lives of the fish, and it increases the chances that there will always be plenty of fish to catch.

 

You can make your earthworms even more appetizing to a fish by allowing them to plump up. To do this, line a container with newspaper and leave it in a fridge overnight. The cold temperature and additional humidity assists in fattening up the worms.

 

When you are fishing on the bank, you must be extra careful not to set anything on fire. Because you are surrounded by foliage and not just water, you have to be especially careful about where you discard your cigarettes. While the bank might be damp, the leaves and debris nearby may be dry and easily able to catch fire.

 

If you are fishing in a new area, pick up a reference guide. A reference guide can teach you a lot about the local waters, fish that can be found there, and favored forms of bait. This can help you to fish in the best spots and catch more with the bait that you choose.

 

Smallmouth bass and walleye tend to be picky regarding the live bait that you use. Keep a good amount of leeches in your fishing inventory. They will stay alive for a long time (overnight) if you put them in a plastic or Styrofoam container with air holes and a little water.

 

If you are practicing catch and release, then don't fight when reeling in fish. In many cases, the fight injures or exhausts the fish. If you're unable to reel in the fish without a fight, it's best to just let it go.

 

Anyone fishing would be wise to look at the weather report before embarking on a fishing trip. The weather has a great impact on the behavior of fish so make sure you are prepared for any situation that may arise. This will also allow you to dress appropriately for the day.

 

Now, you know how to get started in the fabulous past time of fishing. Fishing is something you can enjoy for the rest of your life. Once you begin, you will find yourself learning on your own and soon you will have your own favorite fishing spots and techniques to share with others. So, take the tips you've been given and get out on or by the water and give it a try.
