Fishing strategy

  "The main tool you can't do without is a fishing rod. Fishing ass A. Jakštas recommends to start with fishing rod choice. “Buy a simple fishing rod with a reel, clean stock. Have a complete set for the float rod. The store will advise you on which floats and weights to choose. Also have the simplest grab, if you catch a bigger fish, it will be easier to pull it out. If you go to commercial ponds, then you will need more serious ammunition, but it can often be rented on the spot, ”said A. Jakštas. 

Place and time 

The next step is to choose a location. "Most people choose places that are convenient to access. There is no need to fear that the place will be fished out. There is no need to avoid more open accessible places. If the pool is frequented by anglers, such places will also be visited by fish, because they get food there, ”said the interlocutor. Asked if there is a chance for a beginner to catch a fish for dinner, A. Jakštas said that it would not be necessary to cultivate the hope of catching big fish, but for small fish it is possible. 

"I advise fishing only from the shore, because the specifics of fishing from a boat are more complicated. It will be difficult for an unaccustomed person, "said the fisherman. According to him, in order to increase the chances of catching fish, it is important to choose the right time of day."

As summer approaches, the fish are not active all day, so it is best to fish early in the morning. From the time the sun rises, the fish will be active for at least 3-4 hours. The evening fish activity is short - 1-2 hours before sunset. On the other hand, if the day is cloudy with a little rain, the fish can be active all day, ”said the interlocutor. 

 Once you have the equipment, you have chosen the place, the time, it is time to think about help. “It is better to have an experienced person nearby who will teach you how to throw a fishing rod correctly and help you avoid mistakes. The most basic rule is to pay in time to let the line go. The line is pressed with a finger, and the right moment to release it must be captured. Another common mistake is setting the depth. Most fish require the bait to be either on or near the bottom. This needs to be determined fairly accurately. In addition, it is necessary to choose an overly thick line, because fish are afraid of a thick line, ”said A. Jakštas about the subtleties of fishing. 

He also advises not to make noise when fishing, as the sound spreads very well in the water and the fish can get scared quickly. And what if the fish doesn’t bite? "You don't even have to wait an hour. You have replaced the baits, the depth, do not catch, go to another place, because you will waste all the time," said the interlocutor."
