So you are about to start fishing. First things first, you need to bait your hook. Do you know the correct way to bait you hook? Below are some tips that will help you attract and catch more fish by simply baiting your hook better.
Firstly, you need to use sharp hooks. Buy new hooks frequently and replace your old ones. If you keep your hook on the line for a long period of time you should sand the point to keep it nice and sharp. Try to buy the best hooks you can (if you buy the cheapest you may save a few dollars but in the long run is it worth it?).
Hooks vary in size, shape and color so go for the hook that is best for the fish you are targeting. If you're not sure, ask the people in your local fishing store. Some fish are supposedly

Most people bait shrimp the other way (head first) but this will cause the shrimp to fall off more easily. Try to keep the hook entirely in the shrimp when threading through. Most fish species don't mind if the shell is left on. Some people believe in de-shelling the shrimp but this takes time and often makes them soggy and they may fall off the hook easier. You can take the head off the shrimp as this often makes the shrimp too big to fish with if left on (and as an added bonus you can add the heads of the shrimps to your burley bucket to attract more fish)
2) Octopus should be baited using the tentacles foremost so they cover the hook. As with the prawn the octopus should thread over the hook to disguise it.
3) Squid is a good bait as it is hardy, easy to place on a hook and is hard for nibbling fish to nibble off. Just thread the squid over the hook and once again try to disguise the hook with the bait. Also try to use the softer parts of the squid body as some fish may not like the harder parts found near the head.
4) White bait, Mulie or any other small fish really needs to be hooked with a gang of hooks (at least 3 hooks in a row) otherwise they simply slide off the

Over the last few years, the rivers edge is getting more & more crowded, as fishing pressure increases so does the amount of lures the fish will see in a day. Trying new methods of fishing can sometimes prove to be rewarding.
A small hook won't be able to land a largemouth bass. Along with the hook size, you'll need to consider the type of hook point you'll want. There are spear point, which are the standard, hollow point, knife edge and surgical needle.
If you are fishing with a partner or fishing alone you can only catch a five fish limit. Every fish has to be over thirteen inches long so it can be legal for a tournament. Every lake has a different length to score a bass. For example, at Belton Lake a bass has to be over fourteen inches long to be legal, which I disagree on because some people catch twelve to thirteen and a half inches and that means we have to throw them back into the water because it is not fourteen inches.
Some people consider bass fishing a sport, but for most fishermen it’s a lifestyle. People have been bass fishing since the beginning of time for different reasons. Bass fishing has evolved over the years from using a sapling and some string to the high tech rod and reel technology, as well as sonar fish-finders. For modern day fisherman fishing is a lifestyle that may require a wealth of money depending on what kind of bass fishing someone wants to do. People will less wealth just fish from the bank, but for the luckier individuals that are able to own a boat, fishing is easier, and more fun. Since the beginning of time people have been using real worms for bait, but now with the advancement of technology you can use baits that have a
A sharp hook swinging at the end of a pole that is usually six feet long or more is not safe when you are around others. Make sure you have enough room around you and that your pole is not in range of any other person before you attempt to cast your line. At the bottom of your pole there is a metal curved wire that loosens and locks the line on the reel. With your right hand hold the line against the pole to secure the weight from pulling down your line before you’re ready. With your left hand you are going to release the line while continuing to hold the line with your right hand. Bring your pole over your shoulder facing the water and swing it over your head and release the line when the pole is pointing straight up into the sky. Your line should now be in the water and you will be waiting to catch a fish. The best way to tell if fish are biting is by pulling the line with your index finger close to your pole but not completely against it. If the fish are biting and tugging on the line our finger will feel the pulls. After you feel a tug on the line, jerk the pole quickly toward you and start reeling in your line. Doing this will increase the chances of you successfully catching a fish.
I wanted to think, and I needed to develop a couple of strategies. If I nibbled at this bait, I wanted to ensure I could avoid the hook it certainly must conceal.
A spinning rod is the most common type of fishing poles these are very versatile fish pole it has the ring for the line to go threw at the bottom. The reel itself has a vetrivel reel that the fishing line goes on ,also the reel itself can be switched for left handers and right hander .This is overall a great way to fish for anyone rather you are a beginner or a professional and I would recommend spinning rods for everyone.The other fishing pole and reels that are used most often are baitcaster , these are way different from the spinning rods .The poles them self are way different do to the fact the the eyes are on top of the pole rather than the bottom . When it comes to the reel it is completely different the reel is horizontal . With the reel being horizontal you can cast a lot further.The one major downfall to the bait caster reel is that since it is horizontal the line will not stop coming off the reel so while fishing with it you have to watch the line after you cast it or it will do what we call a “bird nest” and that is when the line comes out and tangles up the reel into a big not and makes it so that you have to untangle it or cut the line . But the best way to prevent a birds nest is by setting the drag on the reel to the weight of the bait or lure that is on the pole when this is done right
I have been fishing my whole life, especially bass fish. I normally try to catch largemouth bass, which are very common where I am from. I was on my high school’s bass fishing team and we actually did pretty well for the most part, especially coming from such a small school. Largemouth bass are our prime target during these fishing tournaments. A largemouth bass is a white/green fish usually ranging from 1 pound to 6, they can also get up to 10 pounds as well. You can bass fish for fun or you can do it competitively such as tournaments. Tournaments usually go like every other tournament, you have two people and an adult captain that basically drives the boat and puts people in the best spots to catch bass. Every tournament usually starts at around 7 in the morning and goes through to 3 in the afternoon. After the time limit is reached, the boats then unload and get pulled up in the parking lot with the fish in them. The teams, then one by one go up to the weigh station and get a bag to put the
There is no question that the most misunderstood subject in all of musky fishing is lure choice. Advertising focuses on the successes of certain lures, writers talk about their favorites, and sporting goods stores promote the "hot bait" as their cure-all. I don't claim, for a minute, to be innocent of any such charges, but I do want to take these next few pages to separate fact from fiction, as well as show you, the readers, a quick easy-to-use formula for that makes lure choice simple. Here's basically how it works.
Once a bass is hooked, it may make a hard run to the opposing end of the boat, causing the fisherman to run to the other end; often passing his partner heading the other way with the net. The two fishermen fly through the air like dancers on a stage to reach positions in hope to land a fish.
Fishing has been around a long time and has been evolving over the years. In fact, the first known fishermen were from the Stone Age. They used materials that were available to them to catch fish and put food on the table for their families. Succeeding the Stone Age however, fishing has slowly begun to transform into more of a sport than a method of providing food. National Geographic states, “It wasn't until the 15th century that fishing began its evolution into a sport. Previously, fishing was simply a means for survival.” Fishing has changed so immensely that it has become a competitive sport. Fishermen all over the world angle competitively against each other in huge tournaments for a living. These professional fishermen are awarded millions of dollars to angle out of expensive boats that their sponsors pays for.
In this essay youll learn how to fish. People think they know how to fish until they start to fish and don't catch anything but sticks. When people catch sticks they tend to lose their temper. When this happens they normally just give up and leave without even trying to catch a fish. So here are the steps for fishing.
Circle hooks are widely used by deep sea fishers. They're a type of fishing hook that is circular, sharply curved. The circle hook has a greater success rate at hooking fish, and it does less damage to gills and fins. So, if you want to catch and throw back, you're more likely to help your catch survive the adventure.
