How to Catch More and Bigger Fish
by John Krutz
Have you ever noticed how some guys seem to catch all
the fish? Or how every time you talk to certain
fishermen they tell you how good they did? Well I, I am
here to tell you how to be one of those guys who catches
all the fish. It is a well-known fact that 10% of
fishermen catch 90% of the fish. There is no magical
lure behind their success, it is just simply the
knowledge they have of the fish and their environment.
Understanding a fish's seasonal movement and their
feeding strategies will help you catch more fish. This
can be done in two ways. First is by learning hands on.
The more you fish the more you will learn where the good
spots to catch fish are and when. If you plan on
learning how and where the best fishing will be I
suggest keeping a pocket journal. Every time you go
fishing bring your journal with you. Record the date,
time, weather and exact location where you are fishing.
Then record what lures, flies or bait you used and what
you caught on them. This may seem a little unnecessary,
but it is a great guide to use for future fishing
outing. It will help you take out a lot of the guesswork
when it comes to your next fishing trip.
The other strategy for understanding what should work on
your next fishing trip is simply research. Do your
homework before you go fishing! It is pretty simple now
with the internet to find out what fish are present in a
lake, stream or river before you go. Research the fish
you will be targeting to see their feeding behavior,
their seasonal movement and what lures may work best. If
possible try to find maps or popular fishing locations
of the body of water you are going to visit. If you were
targeting a fish like a lake trout, which likes deeper
water, finding a contour map of the lake would be very
useful. This would eliminate the guesswork and where
they might be and you could focus on different baits or
lures to catch them. The more time you spend in the
proper location, the more likely you will catch fish.
Like I said, it is true that 10% of fishermen catch 90%
of fish. The simple reason why they succeed is that they
put themselves consistently in the best places to catch
fish. Not to say lures and baits don't make a
difference, but you need to be in the right place to use
them. So take some time and do some research before you
go fishing or start a journal, you may be surprised in
the results you will start to see.
