A person fishing with bait would be wise to use a bobber or some sort of indicator while fishing. It can be hard to tell when you get a bite at times, and a good indicator will eliminate that problem. Choose one that is easily visible to you on the surface of the water.

 

Be sure to watch the water birds while you fish. If you go to the spots the birds are diving towards, you are likely to find a lot of fish. Birds eat fish and they dive into the water to catch them. By watching the birds' behavior, you can glean the best fishing spots and have a successful fishing trip.

 

Some people keep the fish that they catch for eating purposes. However, others prefer to fish using the catch and release method. If you are the latter, then firstly wet your hands, next you need to very gently remove the hook from the fish. Finally, the fish can be returned to the water and let go.

 

You should never bring any type of harmful chemical anywhere near a body of water. This can quickly damage the eco-system that you are enjoying. Not only does this damage water supplies, it could even kill many of the creatures that live in the water. This means there will be no fish next season!

 

Be quiet and patient. Fish can pick up even relatively soft sounds under water, so blasting a radio or talking loudly may chase them away. Plan to spend a significant amount of time sitting still in one spot. Moving around on the water too much won't increase your chances of catching something.

 

It is vital that you know the kind of fish that you are trying to catch. It is also important to know the type of bait that they are attracted to. For example, when fishing for catfish you want to use chicken livers, but if you want bream, you will need to use crickets for bait. If you fish with the wrong bait you are unlikely to catch anything.

 

Don't forget to bring your sunscreen when you go fishing. Protecting yourself from the sun is important, even on overcast days, or in the middle of winter. You should apply sunscreen 30 minutes before going outside. Take a break to re-apply your sunscreen every two hours. Pay particular attention to your face, and neck.

 

As you can probably see, fishing is simple yet complex, and offers challenges for everyone, regardless of their experience or skill level. Fishing trips have been creating great memories for years, and using the tips above, you can now create your own pleasing memories about any of your outdoor trips to go fishing.
