When we're out on the water, we often concentrate on our technical gestures to present our lure well, but we naturally make many mistakes that undermine all the work we've done. These mistakes are often unconscious and result from a rush to fish or poor preparation.
With a little rigor and concentration, they can be easily avoided, making your outings more profitable.
Approach too quickly, be visible and noisy
The first mistake you can make when fishing from shore is to approach the bank too quickly and noisily. Predatory fish are often posted at the edge of the water, where there is a whole fauna on which they feed. In these shallow areas, they will be particularly wary and will flee at the slightest warning...
Do not fish the edges
In the same vein as above, a common mistake is not to fish these first few metres of bank, which are often home to fish. You need to stay back and walk at a snail's pace to fish this area discreetly before casting your lure as far as possible!
Passing over its drift
In the same spirit, when boating, it's imperative not to go back over your zone, but to go around it to reposition your drift. Sometimes a long detour is necessary in heavily fished areas where fish are particularly wary.
Don't insist and don't vary the animations
In a given area, it's important to make a certain number of casts and to vary the lures and animations. Making 2-3 passes and concluding too quickly that the spot is deserted will cause you to miss out on some magnificent fishing.
Too much emphasis on one area
On the contrary, on a spot where you've taken several bites or several fish and activity is dropping, it's best to avoid insisting and instead let it rest and come back a little later.
Don't check your equipment
It's not always easy to get a hit, so losing a fish, especially a big one, because you haven't checked the knot, leader or hooks is a mistake you'll regret for a long time.
Poorly prepared boxes
If you don't have a sufficient variety of lures, forget your pliers or take a few minutes to find an accessory at the bottom of your bag, you'll lose a lot of time and efficiency. Take advantage of winter evenings to prepare and arrange all your tackle boxes.
No plan B and C
Fishing with a single strategy is never very good. If by chance it's the right option, so much the better, but time and again, the fish will be elsewhere or react differently. So always plan for secondary patterns before going out.
Always fish the same spots in the same way
To fish the same spots over and over again, and above all in the same way, is not to take into account seasonality, weather or even the mood of the fish. Not only will you increase the fishing pressure on your spots, but you'll also make no progress and often encounter disappointment.
Don't check the weather
Just as it's essential to check the weather for anglers on the water, it's just as important for fishing in general. The weather has a major impact on fish behaviour and activity, so it's vital to choose your spots, time slots and presentations accordingly.
Do not observe
The last mistake we regularly make is to focus too much on our technique and not enough on our surroundings. If you're attentive, you'll often be able to spot signs of activity, enabling you to locate active fish. Look up!
