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.
5. Reel in the
The body of the lure is shaped much like a small fish. It is most commonly a shade of gray, and has the basic characteristics of a fish, such as eyes and a mouth. The front of lure is approximately two inches in circumference and gets slightly smaller toward the end. It is made up of a buoyant material that allows it to float close to the surface, where a wounded fish might reside. It is shaped much like a torpedo, and were it not for the large bill at the front of the lure, you might expect it to be very sleek gliding through the water.
When it comes to bass fishing techniques, there is a plethora of information out there that can be confusing for the beginning angler to sort through. By understanding just a few basic techniques, you can cut through all of the information and get the fundamental knowledge that you need in order to successfully catch your first bass. Then as you gain experience, you will be able to build upon the basics that you have learned to become an expert bass fisherman.
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.
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). When
Conclusively and strongly stressed to the naive freshwater fisherman, freshwater fishing can shockingly differ from saltwater fishing. Successful freshwater fishing is allowed by simpler and more practical means, including a wider range of lure selections, limp and simple line, and the lightest of gear. It has minimal demands on fishermen and equipment. Saltwater fishing, on the other hand, surely does not.
My family fishes on a dock, but many people fish on a boat out on the water. Fishing can also vary with the type of bait used. My family uses live bait, but there are other types of baits and lures that fisherman use, such as worms or rubber lures. The bait used depends on the type of fish you’re fishing for and the type of water you’re fishing in. Rods also vary depending on the type of fish you are looking to catch, and the environment you are fishing in. My family uses carbon fiber fishing rods, but there are many different types such as fly rods, trolling rods and surf rods. Fishing is a great pastime and the many different variables help to make the activity

Fishing contains a wide variety of physics. when you cast you are using projectile motion and rotational motion. when you hook a fish it will often use the drag from the current agenst you. Immagine draging a fish through a swift current. You deal with the tention of your line, and the friction of the line through the guides. you also deal with friction when you use a drag.
The thing that is easiest for everybody to learn while fly fishing physics is the arm movements. We probably all know the basics for the most part right? You pull the rod back then have your arm do a throwing motion and then stop and then send the fly flying right? Well that’s it for the most part but there is still more to learn with arm movements. In the magazine Fly Fisherman there was an article that gave a great tip. Their tip is “Try not to move your arm or wrist like a windshield-wiper blade. Instead, your
Shaun Callarman’s commentary on the Chris McCandless character from Into the Wild opens with a damning assessment. According to Callarman, McCandless was arrogant, stupid, ill-informed, and, most importantly, he allowed his romantic imagination of spending time in the wilderness to create unrealistic expectations, and then to leave him dangerously unprepared. While Callarman attempts to provide some contextualisation – McCandless was young and nave, and his mistake was approaching a few months in the wilderness as a spiritual practice – on the whole, his critique comes across as a chastisement. ‘He was also physically fragile, making any punishment beyond basic discomfort from the cold pointless,’ Callarman writes. ‘And he made numerous mistakes because of his stupidity, overconfidence, and fearfulness.’
One of the the quickest ways to get up to local speed is a simple trip to one of the local fishing supply stores. And that's not to include some of the easier-to-find big box retailers that while offering the tackle and supplies you might require are generally lacking in the local
To ensure that your ice fishing is successful, you need certain special equipment. Some of the basic and most important tools you must have before going out for ice fishing
“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)
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.
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
