When you are using grubs and are using a heavy line to fish with, make sure your grub has a sharp and strong hook. Stay away from hooks made with fine wire because bass can easily straighten these hooks. You can use thin wire hooks when fishing with light line because they are better suited for softer hook sets.

 

Anyone fishing should use quality fishing equipment. Fishing rods and reels come in all shapes and sizes and at all different price ranges. While you don't need to break the bank when purchasing a rod and reel, you do want to make sure that it will get the job done.

 

Don't fight with the fish you're catching if you want to release them later. In a lot of cases, the fight will exhaust the fish or cause injuries. If you can't reel a fish in, let go of it or you'll risk killing it.

 

Make the most of your spinnerbait by only casting it out in direct sunlight. Light is crucial to getting your spinner to flash and attract fish. Also, if you find the fish are reluctant to bite a bare spinner, add a trailer like a worm to add another dimension of interest.

 

When you've hooked a large fish and it tries to escape, stay calm. Take your time and do not reel in the fish as it is swimming away. Hang back and let your rod's drag take care of the work for you. After the hook is properly set, correct your drag on your reel. Your rod should be at about a 45 degree angle to the water and you should aim it at the fish.

 

Remember that your prey will be affected by the phases of the moon. Fish are usually more active during a full moon. Keep in mind that while the moonlight makes the fish more active, you need to camouflage your presence as much as possible.

 

In order to avoid making a lot of noise when your lure hits the water, learn a variety of casting methods. Fish are afraid of noise, so a noisy cast will work at cross purposes with a good day's fishing. Use your wrist to cast your rod to achieve this.

 

When fishing in a new area it is always a good idea to talk to locals. The joy of fishing is about sharing information with fellow fishermen, such as what bait is popular, or where the fish are biting because fishing techniques change throughout the season.
