- Watching people fish is often more
-
enlightening than, actually fishing Yourself ,and a
feW minutes spent observing can result in a
much larger catch. The trick is to watchboth the
suceessftil and the unsuccessful angler Invrder
to sort out the techniques that work and those
that don't.,
owe everyone haS,been on a doc,k perch
fishing, or lined up shoulder to shoulder On *.E‘'
steelhead stream and suddenly realized that
some people'are catching fish repeatedly While
'others. are being skunked. That's the tiMeto take
break and get a close lookat what the lucky
character is doing.
Jialt, of course, is an important 'factor, but
HOW it is being fished is even more significant.
Is it being drifted, bumped along the bottom,
skimmed over the top at high speed, cranked in
at a slow steady retrieve or jerked and danced
all the way to the rod tip? Often a little thing like
a slight jerking motion as opposed to a constant
speed retrieve will mean the difference between
catching something and going home empty
endedin fishing with live bait, a* retrieve
usually does more harm than good, but there are
always exceptions. just letting the current
tumble a spinner over the rocks will sometimes
produce more strikes than the conventional cast
and crank, but you'll never know unless you try
it, or see someone else using that technique.
If you're catching fish, keep ,At it because
you're doing something right, but if it's one of
those dog days for you, start experimenting.
You've probably heard the story about the .guy
that was fishing all day without any luck and
then had a back lash when casting. What hap-
pened when he started to untangle his line and
his lure was bobbing in the water 20 feet off the
boat? Right! The biggest fish he ever saw
grabbed the bait and broke the line. Chances are,
as soon as he could tie another lure on the line, he
was back to the old cast and crank and never
even recognized the fact that maybe the _fish
were looking for something that was just laying
motionless in the water.
• The most commonly used, method of fishing,
cast and straight retrieve, is probably the most
• inefficient of all the.variations that are possible.
Most lures are designed to imitate an injured
minnow and hurt minnows do NOT travel ih
straight lines at constant speeds. They .dart and
flutter and rest and zig-zag all over theplace. A
little manipulation of the rod tip can imitate this
• activity perfectly, yet few people do .it. But of
course, it's a few people who catch all the fish.
Another thing' to pay attention to when you are
purchasing your fishing equipment is the match
between rod and reel. The right combination will
give you maximum efficiency while a badly
matched set .can produce -nothing but headaches.
Most manufacturers recommend certain rods be
used only with specified reels and a lot of them
go one step further and sell combinations that
were developed for each other. A smooth
working, easy casting outfit can make for a
delightful day afield while the complete opposite
can be true for a mis-matched outfit.
Good hooks are getting harder and harder to
find. Most stores carry cheap brands
• manufactured in Taiwan or Japan and I find that
the bulk of these hooks are dull and poorly
constructed. Mustad, however, have always
produced a good quality fish hook and it can
make a lot of difference when it comes to landing
or losing a fish. A good number of stores carry
• these hooks, -but because they come in bulk
packaging -they were seldbrn on display.
Now, however, Mustad is finally putting their
hooks out in plastic envelopes on display cards so
they can. go up with the rest of.the tackle. Keel')
your eyes peeled for them and pick up a few the
next time you're in a sporting goods store. If you
try them once or twice, I'll guarantee you will
•
La become a convert and literally dump those
cheapies you've been using.
