Fishing Frenzy

Whether you are fishing out in the sea or in a river, there are always challenges to get round. It is necessary to have patience and try your utmost to catch the fish when they finally turn up.

First of all, you will need to get a fishing license from your local government and the laws regarding fishing are different depending on what state you live in. A boat is also needed in salt water fishing. Depending on how many people join you, the vessel size would vary from a row boat to a yacht.

On a fifteen foot sailboat that has a cuddy forward so passengers can find shelter from the rain is where shore fishing can be done. The boat shouldn't be too heavy but it should be sturdy enough so waves or bumps along the beach and rocks won't affect it.

Start by throwing your line out at the edges not the middle so that it doesn't scare the fish away. You will encourage the fish in the middle by sticking to the edges. A cod line will be a benefit to a person who wants to go "down below". You can use a perch line as well. During mackerel fishing season, another thing you can benefit from is a mackerel jig.

On ebb tide is the best time to start fishing. That's during the early morning and your day would be more productive and it would help you on your journey home if the wind is light or fair. What you can do is try finding a spot where the locals go fishing. That would serve as your best bet for having a successful day.

Many anglers would move from one spot onto the next and doing this may reduce your chances that day so you need to practice patience. Start from the shallowest spot to the deepest, throwing your line out a few times without changing your bait.

Another thing that may affect your fishing chances are sharks. If you have one following you, pour fish blood onto a newspaper or a paper towel. Once you've rolled it into a ball, throw it overboard. The sharks will follow the current and the fish will return thereby increasing your likelihood of obtaining fish.
