FAQ
When fishing, how far from shore should you stand?
The farther you are from the shore, you're more likely to catch fish. This increases the likelihood of getting wet.

To become a skilled fisherman, it takes many years of practice. To become a better fisherman, you will need to learn new techniques and increase your skill.
Can I fish in the morning?
Yes, you can fish any hour of the night. Only times that fishing is banned are when you can fish.
How often do I need to change my lures

How To
How to Perfectly Cast a Fishing Rod
Casting a fishing pole requires that you use your wrist to guide the rod's handle toward the water. Keep the rod slightly off the body, so the line is parallel to it. The rod should be moved forward with the tip perpendicular towards the water surface. Fish won't bite if the rod's tip touches the surface of the water before it reaches the bottom. This technique allows you to increase the distance from the tip of your rod to the water's surface.
These tips will help you feel more comfortable casting a fishing rod.
First, hold the rod as close to your chest as possible. You will be able to easily control the rod’s direction without having your back bent.
Second, when casting a heavy rod, you may want to set up a tripod on the shoreline or on a rock ledge. This will allow you to secure the rod while still holding the reel.
You might also consider purchasing a small reel rather than an expensive one. A cheap spinning reel can be used to cast longer distances, and it will also help you with your hand-eye coordination.
Fourth, you may also want to consider purchasing a fishing pole holder. These holders are made to securely hold the rod while maintaining its upright position. They're easy to store away after use and protect the rod from getting damaged.
Fifth, practice your casting technique until you feel comfortable with the motion. Casting a fishing line takes practice.
Sixth, patience and perseverance are the keys to fishing success. Waiting for the right moment to strike is key to successful fishing. Then, work hard to get the fish in.
