There are many kinds of fishing
equipments in stores, numerous fishing methods in books, and fishing advices
online. To make it all simple, here are the basic things you need to know for
your first time fishing adventure.
1) How to fish with bait
* Tackle. To plunk the bait, you should
purchase lead weights. The weight of the lead would vary depending on the
current of the environment. Anglers commonly use and recommend bank sinkers
with a number-two hook.
To avoid sinkers to slide, you would need
a swivel to act as a stop. To protect the knot, you could use plastic beads
between the swivel and weight. Using two appropriate swivels could allow you to
rig the sliding sinkers.
* Bait. The commonly used bait for all
kinds of fishes is worms. Another popular bait is chicken liver. Remember to
buy fresh bait and keep them cold to avoid them from getting soft and allowing
the bait to stay within your hooks.
Some of the commonly used baits are
cut-baits which include skin from fried chicken, fish entrails, grasshoppers,
salmon eggs, shrimps and crayfish tails.
2) How to fish – There are three
basic methods for fishing.
* Plunking – It is the most common
method used. Use a suitable amount of weight for you to be able to take hold of
the bait in a position which is against any current. An option in plunking is
to use minimal weight for the bait to move along with the water current.
* Back bouncing – It is done by
lifting the bait out the bottom and raising the tip of the rod for one to two
feet. Allowing the bait to walk with the current, you should free the back reel
or spool. Repeat the steps when the lure settles down on the bottom. Back
bouncing is effective in deeper water like fishing in a boat.
* Drift-fishing – It is a simple
method wherein you cast upstream or downstream. This may vary depending on the
current's amount. You should count the appropriate depth and start reeling.
3) How to fish from a boat – It is
important to determine in which location you would perform your fishing. Deeper
water needs heavier jigheads compared when fishing on shore.
* With heavy weight which keeps your bait
near the bottom of the water and the line straight down from your boat, you are
able to drift the boat along with any current. A good technique of fishing on
boats is trolling slowly with a fishing device called bottom-walker.
Fishing is easy as long as you're
enjoying the trip. Bring some of your family and friends along and make your
first time fishing a memorable one.
