Fish Catching Tips

As anglers, aren't we always looking for another tip that may
help us catch more fish? Articles are a great way to find tips,
one of which might be the difference between an average fish and
a trophy. A single tip could be the difference between one bite
in 2 days and a stringer full of fish in two hours. You just
never know when the next little tip might help you, so I'm going
to provide you with some of the fish catching tips I've learned
over the years in the hopes that one or two of them might help
you catch more fish. Here we go:
1) Match Your Gear To The Fish - A very big mistake that
many anglers make is using gear that's entirely too large for
the type of fish they intend to catch. For Example I've been
fishing on trout streams and seen discarded fishing line that
was at least 10 pound test! This should be illegal, in my
opinion. The biggest fish that you're going to catch out of a
normal trout stream is 5 pounds. And that would be a complete
monster. So there is no reason fishing line over 6 lb test
should ever be used. For a normal trout stream, I use 4 pound
test. Your gear, including your rod, reel, line, and lures/bait
should be matched to the type of fish swimming in the water that
you're fishing. If everything is matched properly, it will
result in more bites, which will in turn result in more fish.
2) Have An Efficient Way To Carry Your Bait - Most
anglers spend entirely too much time fumbling around with their
bait. Not to mention the fact that bait containers get left all
over the banks of our rivers, streams, and lakes. Employing an
apparatus such as a bait bag will enable you to spend more time
fishing and less time fumbling around for bait. As you know, the
more time that can be spent with your line in the water, the
better.
Pay Attention To Both The Weather & Moon - One of the
simplest ways to catch more fish, is to be fishing on the days
when the fish are most active. Certain phases of the moon result
in the fish being more active, and thus more willing to bite.
The same goes for weather. When certain things happen with the
weather, fish tend to feed more. Knowing what to look for and
when to fish can help you greatly in catching more fish. And
paying attention to both the weather and moon costs you nothing,
and pays big dividends in the amount and size of the fish you
catch.
Use Gang Hooks - What are gang hooks? Gang hooks are
simply two small hooks tied in tandem. They are, without
question the best way to present live bait (especially worms).
If you use live bait, you need to begin using gang hooks. The
use of gang hooks will result in more hook ups. Remember, the
more naturally the bait is presented to the fish, the better.
The tips presented above will help you catch more fish.
Actually, the catching is up to you, but these tips will help
you hook more fish, you're still going to have to fight them
yourself. Remember what Steven Wright said, there's a fine
line between fishing and just standing on the shore like an
idiot."Hopefully these tips will help you avoid the latter
part of that quote.
