How To Start Fishing by Payne

Buying equipment

The first thing you will need to buy is a fishing rod, this item is helpful because you must use it to reel in the fish. The second item that you will need to get is fishing line, this item is helpful because it will help you bring the fish in, because you cannot reel a fish in with just the rod. The third thing you will need is fishing hooks, these are helpful because in order to catch the fish you need to hook the fish in the mouth to reel it in. The third item that you will need is bait, which could be worms, night crawlers, meal worms, bread, minnows, shiners and chubs etc. The fourth item is lures, lures are small plastic things that are supposed to resemble different types of baits, this item can be used to attract fish.

Different things you can do to attract fish to your bait

The first thing you can do is to let your bait sink to the bottom, this can help because a fish could come and take it. The second thing you can do is to jig your bait, this is when you pull up your rod so it makes the lure look like it is swimming like a fish, jigging is helpful because it can make the lure look like it is a real fish which then attracts the bigger fish that you would normally fish for. The second thing you can do is to try different jigging techniques, like pulling the rod up lightly, or pulling the rod to the side lightly, or reeling the lure in all the way, or pull your rod up lightly and then stop and then start again, or pull your rod to the side and then stop, and then start again, this will help to make the bait or lure look like it is actually swimming like a fish.
