Beginner Fishing Guides

  • The correct equipment: don’t think that fishing equipment is the same for all levels and that you’ll be using the same rod that a pro would be using! Beginners should start off by purchasing a specific rod and reels that would be perfect for an individual who is just learning to fish.

  • Know that the bait is the main course for the fish: Not all fish eat the same thing and knowing what fish will be biting at what location is crucial for this step. There are various baits for a number of fishes and choosing the right bait would get the fish coming at you instantly. Head to the fish store and take your time in choosing the right bait to attract your fish. Here’s an example, Catfish are attracted to raw chicken liver and even special bait for cat fish whereas bream fish like to devour on insects such as crickets.  The wrong bait could mean you being stuck in the lake for a LONG time!

  • Dress accordingly: you must dress according to the sport. Don’t wear joggers but opt for boots. This is because you’ll be near water and joggers would just end up getting soggy and soaked. You want boots that would help you when you want to wade in the water. Don’t opt for just jeans or a t-shirt but wear layers to protect you from the weather. Tie your hair up if you have long hair. Remember, being smart is the key here!
