How To Fish

Introduction

Fishing has been a man's activity for generations. Back in the old days men would fish to feed their family. Today I am one of those men who fish to feed himself. What I mean is that fishing is what I do for a living.

How To Fish

Step 1. Check to make sure you have the proper equipment.

-Tackle Box
-Rod
-hooks
-weights
-metal links
-tweezers
-camera

Hint*
Now I know if you go to many stores, you will be severely ripped off. I mean just because it is a niche item I was overcharged. For an example, a minnow bucket costs $25. A normal bucket with a good lid costs $4.

Step 2. Ask yourself where all the popular fishing spots are.

Is it close?
Can I spend that much time?
Do I have any freinds that fish?
Should I go on a fishing trip with my buddies?

Step 3. Dress Code

-Fairly Warm Jacket
-Dress in layers
-Extra pair of shoes and socks
-Always carry a pocket knife and two lighters

Step 4. Setting up line

-You need to first make your line. The way to do this is attatch the line to the hook and a rectangle and circle shaped metal. Attatch that line to the circle shaped metal.
-Now get your main line from your rod and attatch it to a metal with two circles or "rings".
-Open up the retangle metal and clip it onto the circle metal connected to your main line

This may sound very confusing, for this step I would suggest you see a video tutorial instead.

Step 5. Choosing your bait

There are so many lures out there it gets ridiculous! I would just say to use worms or minnows for regular fishing and if you want to catch a huge fish I would say do some research on that fish.

Step 6. Actual fishing

Once you have your bait hooked then it's time to throw the line into the water. Make sure to lock your fishing rod after you throw the line. To lock the fishing rod you simply close the metal ring located right above your string. And to open it you would need to open it.

Step 7. Wait, or Wrestle

If a fish bites wrestle with it. cast in and out, in and out. if nothing is biting in 30 minutes I say change your location.

You now know how to fish.

Bass Fishing Basics: Best Baits For Bass Fishing

Bass fishing is a really popular sport that can be enjoyed by anyone with the knowledge of a few Bass fishing basics. All species of Bass are some of the most sought after fish, as they are great fun to catch, and offer some of the best sport, both from the shore and from a boat.

One of the first Bass fishing basics to learn will obviously be the bait. This can be live bait such as peeler or soft back crabs, these are really fine baits for Bass. A crab is a peeler when it is in the process of losing its old shell, (to test if a crab is a peeler, try lifting the rear end of its shell; it should come away easily). A crab is a soft back when it has already discarded its old shell but before its new shell has hardened.

Other good Bass fishing baits include sand-eels, lugworm, and rag worm. Sand-eels can be collected from wet sand where they lie buried on a receding tide. They can be used as a dead bait but are more effective as live bait. Both lugworm and rag worm can be dug at low tide and will keep for a couple of days wrapped in damp newspaper. You could also try what is called a bait cocktail, which consists of both crab and worm on the same hook.

Other popular baits are artificial lures, and these should be part of any Bass fishing basics kit. There are so many of these artificial baits available that you could spend a fortune on them. My best advice would be to take a trip to your local tackle store, and ask for the most popular types for your local area. Start off simple with just a handful, which should include a couple of (top water baits) a couple of (spinner baits) and a couple of (plastic or rubber lures). As with the live baits these should all be retrieved slowly when fishing for Bass.

The next of the Bass fishing basics is the cast. If fishing from the shore you should try to cover as big an area as possible. To do this you should cast in a fan shape, start with a cast to the left of where you are standing and retrieve your bait, slowly pausing every ten to fifteen feet. On your next cast aim slightly to the right of the last cast and repeat this process until you have covered a fan shaped area. Try this a couple of times and if you have no luck simply walk twenty or thirty yards down the shore and start again.

Night fishing for Bass can be very productive, some of my best Bass fishing has been at night. For this you will need a lure that makes a lot of noise in the water when being retrieved. There are some excellent lures available for this (again ask at your local tackle store) and the Bass will find them irresistible. These are just a few of the Bass fishing basics, you will pick up more as you go along, but the best advice I can give is to get out there and have a go, I guarantee you will soon be hooked.
