Fishing Tips

[matthothand]

Know when to move or change presentation. I see way too many people just washing their lures because they can't leave a (bad) spot or they are too focussed with the wrong presentation/lure selection. I do it too but it's a big concern of mine while on the water.

Learn to appreciate new species! I always hear the technical advice and chuckle - guys will burn up hundreds of gallons of gas chasing all over the lake looking for walleyes, when they could've had a BLAST catching 50 inch longnose gar, or mooneyes, or tackle-busting bowfin that make walleyes look like the sissy-fish they are. You could be battling giant carp, casting tiny flies at 90-pound bigmouth buffalo, night-fishing for six-foot eels on wet land, chucking crawlers at 15-pound Greater Redhorse, or hunting record-breaking Warmouths in the backwaters. You could be the first person to ever figure out what Quillbacks will bite on reliably. Or you can kick back and meat-fish for white suckers and drum, and just enjoy nature, delicious fish, and battling so many fish your arms get sore. Try sturgeon fishing. Try night-fishing for big cats. Don't get stuck in a rut.

Recheck spots that didnt pay off earlier in the day and dont be a people, find your own fish its more rewarding.

Don't wait for that perfect day to go fishing, Many a fish and many a Kodak moment have been caught on a rainy, windy day. Or a day when you just had a few hours to wet a line. There is never a bad time to go fishing.

Fish whenever you can. Remember you can't say they went bitting if you didn't go fishing.
