Okay, you enjoy fishing. This is obvious because you're reading an article about fishing, and becoming better at it. In this article I'm going to reveal some tips and techniques learned over the past twenty years of fishing, that will help you become a more successful angler. Some of these tips were taught to me by my fishing mentor (who had more than 40 years of fishing experience) and was the best trout angler that I've ever met. So let's get down to business, shall we?
The first thing that you need to know to become a more successful angler is that your gear should match the size and type of fish that you're fishing for. So, if you're fishing for trout (for example) you should be using ultra light fishing gear. If you're trolling for walleye, light to medium action fishing gear should be employed. I see all to many anglers using fishing gear that's entirely too heavy for the type of fish that they're trying to catch.
Along these same lines is the size of your fishing line itself. If I'm out at my favorite trout stream one more time and see discarded fishing line that's heavy enough to land a small shark I think I'm going to puke! Match your fishing line to your gear as well. Keep this in mind (as far as your line is concerned): whatever pound test your fishing line is, that's the amount of dead weight that line can hold at it's weakest point without breaking. So if your using six-pound test, that line can hold six pounds of dead weight at it's weakest point without breaking. That's quite a bit of weight. And incidentally, if you're fishing for trout, six-pound test is the heaviest line you should ever use!
The next thing to keep in mind if you want to be a more successful angler is that you need to be using Mother Nature to your advantage. What do I mean by this? Simple, Mother Nature (and more specifically the weather and moon) play huge role in the activity level of fish. So the more familiar you are with this, the better. Using the weather and moon to your advantage when you are fishing will help you catch more fish, there's no doubt about it.
If you want to catch more fish, and you're a bait fisherman, you need to be using gang hooks. What are gang hooks you ask? Simply the best way to present live bait (especially live worms) that there is. You see, gang hooks are simply a pair of small hooks tied in tandem, thus enabling live bait to be presented in a completely natural manner. If you want to be a more successful angler (and you obviously do because you're reading this article), you should always have pre-tied gang hooks readily available.
The bottom lk9ijhne is that these tips will help you become a more successful angler. And never forget, the more knowledge we can gain about our craft, the better. I'm sure you've heard the phrase "knowledge is power"; well this is true for being a successful fisherman. There is no substitute for knowledge and spending time on the water. Knowledge and practice are the keys to truly being a successfully angler.
