Coming up empty handed when fishing with kids isn't fun. The great memories of the day spent fishing can be even better if the day ends with a big fish dinner. You will get the tips that will make a difference by reading on.
When fishing perch, try to attach four hooks underneath you bobber or weight. These fish swim together in a school, allowing you to catch a few at a time. Also try this technique on other schooling fish, including bluegills.
Look for a rod and reel set that most closely matches the specific kind of fishing you will be doing. There are many different types of equipment for different species of fish, for example, if you want to fish for walleye, you'll need a spinner rig or a jig & minnow combination.
Net your fish carefully. If it is necessary to net a fish, be certain the net encircles the head first. As the fish attempts to swim away as this happens, it pushes itself into your net further, helping you secure the fish and bring it out from the water.
If you want to return the fish that you caught to the water, and are worried about having a souvenir to take with you to show people the prize you caught you should take a camera. This way you can spare the life of a fish you are not interested in consuming and have your memento of it as well.
When it comes to fishing, few things will ruin your chances for success like a dull hook. No matter how great your fishing skills are, a dull hook is a sure way to lose fish. Sharpen hooks as you progress, or bring extra hooks that you can switch out periodically. If a fisherman wants to catch lots of fish, he or she needs a sharp hook.
If your minnows are dead, don't just throw them away. You can still get some use out of that dead bait. To attract fish using dead minnows cut the minnow in half prior to baiting your line.
Weather is a factor that should be considered when planning a fishing trip. Some people feel that overcast skies are best for fishing, but it really depends on the area in which you are fishing as well as the type of fish you are after. Track down the weather each time you fish in specific areas and see if you notice a pattern. You can then make strategic decisions about where it is best to fish according to what the day's weather looks like.
No bait is perfect and works with every fish all the time. To get prime results, know how and when you should use the right bait. As an example, use a jig in murky waters where their motion reflects light and grabs the attention of fish swimming by. Yet, plastic worms are much better used in clearer water, this is because they are easy to see so the fish will just come and get them.
When you go fishing take into consideration the season and the weather, and study a map of the lake you will be fishing in. Even if you are hitting up a favorite fishing spot, it can pay off to investigate the area a bit when you arrive. If you do, you might find a fishing spot that you missed before. You can find different websites that can actually help you with forecasts, water levels and wind conditions.
If you are fishing for several different kinds of fish, then change your bait frequently. If you fish with the same bait the entire fishing trip, you may not catch as many fish because not all fish are lured with the same bait.
There are specific casting techniques you can learn to reduce the amount of noise the lure makes as it enters the water. Fish are afraid of noise, so a noisy cast will work at cross purposes with a good day's fishing. Use the wrist while casting for a more silent cast.
When you are after a particular kind of fish, learn its ideal temperature. Some fish prefer living in particular temperatures. If you are fishing for particular varieties, you should be mindful of this. Schedule your fishing trip around a day that has proper weather. This will make for more successful and enjoyable fishing.
If you catch a large fish, your children will be impressed with you, and you'll be able to make them an amazing dinner too. This is something that will be in your minds forever, and since you are a great fisherman you may even be able to recreate the memory.
