Catching fish with regularity and perhaps even in quantity does not depend on chance. Beyond the knowledge of the spots and the mastery of the techniques, it is necessary to pay attention to particular behaviors.
Observe
The first thing you need to do to locate fish and have a successful trip is to observe the environment and be alert to signs of activity. Birds diving or circling, a flush exploding or baitfish coming to the surface to breathe should make you aware of the presence of food and therefore potentially predators.
Be versatile
Versatility is often the key to success, because if we master only one fishing technique or if we only know how to fish in a specific environment, it is certain that a good part of our trips will be a fiasco. Indeed, to make a success of one's outings it is necessary to work upstream on one's technical knowledge and on the knowledge of many environments in order to be able to adapt on the dayâ?¦
Be open and adaptable
In order to succeed, one must be open to all forms of fishing, all species and all techniques. If it is obvious that we are very often fond of a species and a technique, sometimes fishing is elsewhereâeuros¦ So, why not go to fresh water, take out baits or even put away our surface lures to realize a fishing less exciting in vertical, but productive ...
Mobility
Finding active fish is the key to success and for that you have to be mobile and sometimes not hesitate to lose a lot of time to go to completely different areas. In freshwater as in the sea, it frequently happens that a section of river or a body of water is on "off", so rather than "sanding" for a possible catch, you might as well go and see if the grass is greener elsewhere.
The time available
Fishing depends on many factors and if the place of fishing is a key factor, the moment is also determining. Thus it is preferable to multiply the small outings than to make a long one and especially to be able to fish when the conditions are the best. In this game, we are not equal and some have much more time available than others, but if the conditions seem good and you have even 30 minutes before you, try your luck!
The analysis
When you want to progress, it is always necessary to question yourself and especially to analyze your strengths and weaknesses. Try to understand after each outing why you caught fish or not and to make assumptions. This is how, after several outings, you will be able to better understand the functioning of your spots and thus better exploit them.
A well thought-out material
To succeed, you have to adapt, as we said! But to be able to do so, you must have at your disposal all the equipment to cover the various situations encountered. This doesn't mean that you have to carry around a suitcase of lures, but having a box of 10-20 complementary lures will always be much more effective than having the whole range of lures of a specific brand in all colors when fishing on the surface that day...
