Fishing Tip #1

1) How to fish with bait

* Tackle. To plunk the bait, you should acquire lead weights. The weight of the lead would vary depending on the current of the environment. Anglers usually 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 suitable swivels could allow you to rig the sliding sinkers.

* Bait. The commonly used bait for all kinds of fishes is worms. Other favourite bait is chicken liver. Bear in mind to buy fresh bait and keep them cold to avoid them from getting soft and allowing the bait to stay within your hooks.

Various of the commonly used baits are cut-baits which incorporate 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 ordinary method used. Use a appropriate 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. Permitting 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 suitable depth and start reeling.

3) How to fish from a boat. It is important to decide 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.
