The Sport of Fishing

...

what’s seasonally available.

Now that you have your gear you’re good to go! All you have left is go to your favorite fishing spot, cast out your line, and wait. I have my favorite fishing areas which I found with years of testing a lot of different spots, using familiar and unfamiliar techniques to find where the fish are and what they like to eat. I can go to the same place and just know that I’m going to catch fish. I have been “skunked” a few times, meaning I didn’t catch a damn thing.it does happen to us anglers from time to time, but no worries; I know I will have another chance next time I go.

Whenever I go fishing, and the fish are biting like crazy, there is not much that can beat that. I mostly like to practice the art of catch and release, which is, returning all the fish back into the water after posing with them for a quick photo or two. This is a must so there are fish left for the next guy and so maybe that little guy you caught can grow into the trophy you have been searching after all your life.

I will never stop fishing; I continue to recommend it to anyone. it has been the best escape, therapy, and entertainment I have had outdoors. problems just seem to melt away when I’m out there. It’s just me and my pole and maybe a fishing buddy, or not, and the beauty of nature, and if I’m lucky, maybe a few fish, too.
