Excellent Advice For Catching Plenty Of Fish!

By Johnathan Black


Depending on where you like to go, fishing can be a peaceful hobby or it can be a heart-pounding ride. Fish are in most waters, so your experiences with fishing are limited only by you. You've got to know how to catch all these different fishes, so here are some great fishing tips to help you out.

Caution should be exercised when drinking while fishing! While many people feel that fishing is the perfect sport for a beer or other alcoholic beverages, care must be taken, especially when fishing from a boat. Additionally, alcohol is a quick route to stupid, but serious mistakes, such as a hook in someone's eye, or the loss of the day's catch.

Saltwater fish tend to be a lot sharper when it comes to the scent of your bait. For that reason, it is usually advisable to fish with fresh live or fresh dead bait, when fishing in salt water. This is more likely to attract fish from a distance than artificial lures with more subtle or less natural scents.

If you are looking at taking up fishing as a new hobby, the first thing you need to do is to invest in a quality grade rod and reel combination. Buying bad quality equipment will only discourage the fishing process if it breaks. However, it is not important that you buy the stop of the line to start with either.

Another tip for fishing is to stay relatively quiet while you are on the water. Everyone has heard that loud voices can scare away fish, and while this is slightly exaggerated, making a lot of noise on the surface, particularly disturbing the surface, can indeed spook the fish.

Fishermen trying to catch bass usually stick with lighter-colored grubs. Light-colored grubs are available in many colors from white to yellow and chartreuse and they tend to be very effective. Translucent grubs often include reflective flecks which can attract more fish. However, if nothing really seems to be working, resort to a grub that closely matches the color of the water.

Make sure you use sharp hooks when you go fishing. Even if you're doing everything else right, a dull hook will make catching fish extraordinarily difficult. You should bring replacement hooks along with you when you go fishing, or learn how to sharpen them on the fly. The best tool in a fisherman's arsenal is a sharp hook.

The tips you just read very likely taught you some useful information that you will use for years into the future. Get your loved ones involved in fishing, and start spending some quality time together. You will be bonding and creating great memories for years to come.
