The use of successful fishing tips is an art that can be learned. Mastering the basics of fishing takes time and effort, but with persistence everyone can consistently catch fish.
There are no "hot lures", "magic scented baits", or secret's known only to a few privileged anglers. Everyone can do it! Read a few of our fishing articles, apply and practice the techniques on your next fishing trip and watch your catch rates increase!
The processes involved are simple. Learn the waters you fish most often, be it lake, pond, river, or brook; know the seasonal habits and preferences of the fish species you're fishing for, and practice the various presentation techniques that provide repeated fishing success.
Stream curves are often productive spots. Sometimes they gouge out undercut banks along the outside edge of the curve and these are often safe-havens for lunker sized fish. If there is a riffle upstream of the undercut bank or a good current flowing into the bank, cast your bait or lure upstream and let the current drift it into the pool beneath the bank. Spots like this usually demand three or four casts and drifts to throughly cover the pool. Make sure your lure or bait is just off the bottom.
