Fishing Tips to Share with Everyone
I have some fishing tips to share with everyone here. Beginners or experienced fishermen alike can always do with tips from time to time. No matter what age we are, we are still learning everyday. I would like to share a quote that I read somewhere and believe it may have originated from John Dewar, Scottish chemist and physicist, said “Minds are like parachutes – they work best when open”.
If we choose to close are mind and not listen to others and at the same time don’t share what we learned, we are not only being selfish but also confining ourselves to our own world and not adapting to the ever changing world. I believe in learning and sharing and only by sharing what we learn can we learn more return as we learn from others.
Of course I am not asking you to believe every single word and tip out there. Take some of them with a pinch of salt. Not all fishermen would like to broadcast to the world that they have some fishing tips to share with everyone. It’s because some believe that they should keep their secrets all to themselves so that they can continue their good catch and not deplete the stock of fish out there due to overfishing. It’s human nature.
Some may actually provide you with false tips to throw you off-guard and send you off on a wild goose chase.
Back to the main topic on fishing tips to share with everyone. Don’t keep to yourself, open up, talk to others and learn from them. Most people prefer to have an attentive audience, preferring others to listen to them. Be patient and a good listener, ask the right questions and you will be rewarded with some tips from experienced fishermen who have spend more time out there. The tips learned could greatly increase your catch and in due time, you will also be sharing with others, tips on how to catch lots of fish.
Useful tips aside, when it comes to fishing, it’s 90% luck and 10% skill. The lucky ones get 90% of the bites, they may not have the skills in fighting the fish and landing it but because of the huge numeric advantage they have with their luck, chances are they are going to land more fish than others. Face the facts, life is unfair and once you can grasp and accept that and move on with life, things will be much smoother for you.
When going on fishing trip with others, whether it’s offshore, freshwater, saltwater, lake, river, stream and commercial fishing ponds (fishing ponds that releases fish into a pond/lake and you did to pay to fish), take a look at other regular fishermen tackle boxes and make a note of the fishing gears that they use and the other essentials that they bring along. Compare them to what you have in your tackle box. I know most fishermen would like to be over-prepared rather than under-prepared for their trip but is it worth the hassle of lugging along the extra gears, adding up to a heavier load and likely to end up with lesser space if you are fishing from the deck of a boat. Sometimes less is more…
It looks like fishing tips to share with everyone is ending up to be a more psychological article instead of fishing tips but I can’t help it as I’m writing this. Good luck and tight lines!
