Fishing Reports - Everyone Wants To Know The Hot Fishing Spots

By Bruce Soileau

Fishing reports are usually reported by professional fishing guides and anglers wanting to share their knowledge with others about lake conditions, what's being caught, and on what type of bait. Some things to look for when reading a fishing report are:

* Date the guide went fishing
* Location - City/State
* Name of the lake, river or body of water
* Lake conditions - water depth, water temperature, wind direction, wind speed and water clarity
* Fish Species - black bass, striped bass, redfish, catfish, crappie, snapper, etc.
* Bait Used - crank baits, jerk baits, swim baits, top water baits, live bait, worms, etc.
* Method Used - cranking, flipping, rigs, etc.
* Pictures - you can never see enough good pictures of a great catch

Fishing Guides If you want to go fishing in an unfamiliar lake or river, having a good guide is beneficial and well worth the price. Guides have lake knowledge, usually years of fishing experience and can almost always guarantee that you will catch some fish. Most guides can also give you private instruction to help you become a better fisherman. Guides usually supply the tackle and gear needed for your fishing trip. It's always a good idea to start with a short biography of the guide, get a referral from someone who has used them and also visit their website. Guides are using their websites to advertise their services and promote their business, so you will usually see everything you need there to make an informed decision on using their guide service.
