Steps on How To Use A Fishing Pole
If you just bought your new fishing equipment, here is how to get started.
1. Choose A Suitable Lure- Lures are very good because they avoid a mess when compared to live bait. They also cover a lot of water are very efficient in getting specific types of fishes.

They are designed to create a spinning action that would vibrate through murky water.
• Spoons create a side by side wobble when it is retrieved to mimic an injured prey fish. The speed of the wobble differs so you can apply the most suitable one for you.
• Flies are another type of lures that act that insects hovering at the surface of water. It takes some skills using this lure to attract fishes.
• Jig lures require the most skill because you must cast it out and be patient till it falls to the bottom of the sea before retrieving it to cause a strike with its movement.
• Soft plastic baits are meant to look like live bait. Depending on the type of plastic bait it is, it mimics the movement of the critter it looks like.
2. Bait the fishing line- the size of hook that you would use is dependent on the size of fish you wish to catch.
To get started, you need to put a thread on your hook through your bait at 2 points to ensure that it does not fall off. Place the hook at the head and through the thick part of the body.
3. Cast your line out: you have to consider the location and the weather conditions of the place before you cast out. There are several techniques to it but it would take practice to make your cast efficient. Based on the distance you plan to achieve do the

Allow some slack line by putting your rod up and making the lure move down to meet the reel.
Use your hand that is free to grab the lure then employ your hand that is dominant to press the button on the reel. Ensure that you keep your line extended as you bring the lure back and keep the tip of the rod. In a swooping action, put up the tip of the rod to pull the lure from your less active hand. Use your thumb to slow down the line so you don’t end up going past the distance you planned.
• An overhead cast is utilised when you want to use a lot of distance. Push down the button of the casting reel with your thumb and gradually bring the rod back with your thumb. In a single motion, force the rod forward and remove your thumb. Press the button again to avoid your line from tangling by slowing your spool.

Different Lines can affect different lures in different ways.Diving crankbait and fluorocarbon is smaller and smoother than most lines making it cast farther.. Although flouro can make a topwater bait sink because the line itself sinks.Braid would be a better choice because there is no stretch and the braid itself floats. A jerkbait will have better action and will run deeper using Fluorocarbon. They will run deeper because the line is a lot more dense than other lines making it sink this is also the reason why it gives it better action. A Crankbait will run a lot deeper using fluoro and will cast farther. Again, fluorocarbon sinks so a 8 foot diving crankbait might become a 10 ft d stretch and it is a floating
Fly rods are drastically different from spinning rods. Fly rods can be as big a 12 feet long. The longer the rod they farther you can cast. Fly rods are categorized into weight classes. These weight classes determine the sizes and the weight of the rod; the weights range from a 0-weight, all the way to a 14-weight rod; 0 being the smallest and 14 being the biggest; the lower the number on the rod the lighter the rod; they are also more flexible than longer rods; the average trout fisherman uses somewhere between a 3-weight to a 5-weight rod, depending on the size of fish they are trying to catch (Jardine 53-59). Catching a larger fish on a smaller weight rod takes practice, in that fly rods are very delicate. Fly rods will break very easily if too much pressure is put on the tip of the rod, but if used properly will last a lifetime (Jardine 53). On the other hand, spinning rods are quite sturdy. Most all spinning rods are in the six to eight-foot length. Longer rods are typically stiffer than shorter rods. Spinning rods and fly rods come in three different actions: slow, medium, and fast. Slow action rods are more flexible towards the middle of the rod; medium action rods are a less flexible in the middle and start bending three-fourths of the way up the rod fast action rods are stiff most of the way up the rod and are flexible at about the last two feet of the rod (Jardine 53).

There are two things that should be considered in bass fishing, which are, the bass location on the lake or river and bass catching using different techniques, presentations and baits.
Around noon, my family and I head out to the dock. We each grab a fishing rod,
#2 - Bass Jigs: Bass spend a good portion of their time in cover or near natural protection where they pay close attention to the bottom for food. A Bass jig, properly sized and bouncing just right, makes it extremely hard for a bass to ignore. Getting them out of cover to simply look at the lure is a feat unto itself but when you get the bouncing just right each hop screams "eat me, eat me" and they
The types of fish that are available will vary with each type of location and conditions and the person manning a small fishing supply can also give you a quick orientation of what you'll need to catch the most common game in the area you expect to spend time at. If I'm traveling between islands, I'll generally stay away from bait rigs as it's just too much of a hassle and prospects are good enough with a simple lure. Depending upon where you are, however, the colors of the lures and the type of action will make a big difference in your ability to get a chase from the fish in the
It is believed that these darkly colored baits encourage a bass to make a clean strike that helps to easily set your hook in the fish. So the next time you are out fishing in a clear lake or stream, consider using a dark bait or lure if you are seeking to catch bass.
“Sticks” is a seemingly simple story about an average American family. What is unusual is the metal pole – a “kind of crucifix” – that the father has placed in their yard, which serves as a skeleton for various, and increasingly bizarre, decorations. (Saunders 1196) The narrator describes the pole as “Dad's one concession to glee.” (Saunders 1196) The father in the story is overbearing, averse to showing any emotion aside from anger, and frugal in the most extreme sense of the word. He stood over his children, monitoring the amount of ketchup that they used, and even “shrieked at Kimmie for wasting an apple slice” on Christmas Eve. (Saunders 1196)
To use the lure effectively, it is necessary to accurately portray what the name implies, a wounded minnow. A fish, like any other creature, is aware that wounded prey is much easier to catch and will find the temptation of an easy meal overwhelming. This means doing away with the standard method of casting a lure and immediately and steadily reeling it back in. To start fishing with a wounded minnow, find the shallow fishing spot you prefer and sit just close enough so that you can cast your lure into the area.

Baseball is one of the most entertaining sport. There are many techniques and different ways to play baseball. Baseball could be difficult at times, but everyone can play the game of baseball. All you would need for baseball is a glove and a bat and if you want cleats to get them. Hopefully by the end of the story you will like baseball as much as I do.
As we all know speed is awesome, and it doesn’t stop with fly fishing. With fly fishing you want speed. Speed will help you gain distance. The faster you make your strokes the farther your line is able to extend and go. You need to start your cast off strong not weak to continue going strong. You need to acceleration at the beginning of your cast to get speed. Most of your acceleration comes from your wrist being at your shoulder to the tip of your rod being almost all the way extended (See picture
Our reels weren’t the only things being destroyed by the salt water. Our lures were as well. Their lustrous, metallic surfaces became dull and oxidized. They began a whole epidemic in our tackle boxes, spreading their gritty growths to even those lures that hadn’t come into contact with salt water. To save the small remainder of healthy lures, we were forced to adopt the tedious and time-consuming, foreign culture of bathing them in freshwater and keeping them in a clean, quarantined box.
These reels usually have a series of gears that turn the line collecting devices several times for each crank of the handle.
Although it is possible to paddle out in your kayak and catch a fish using just about any fishing line, some will yield much better results than others. Depending on what you are trying to catch, using the right fishing line for the job can turn the experience from a frustrating struggle to something a little more enjoyable. However, there are a couple of different types of fishing lines to choose from and all of them have their own pros and cons. Anglers often put a lot of time and research into purchasing the best fishing kayak and equipment, but neglect to do the same for their fishing lines. This often results in the fishing line being the weakest link in their setup, which can cause a lot of missed opportunities. Shopping for new fishing line isn’t as glamorous or exciting as
