Whether you’re a newbie or have been doing it for a long time, there are a few fishing-related activities that can provide satisfaction, relax, be competitive, or be overwhelmed. Knowing a few fishing techniques, you will be ready to "take over" the lakes. It is important to know fishing lures, their techniques, and more to become a great fisherman.
Fishing for beginners
WHERE TO START?
A great place to start fishing in the lake near you. Many people are surprised to learn how many places for fishing are nearby. Take a look online for fishing maps. You can use the staff at the fishing shop for this. They will know perfectly well where the best places to fish are.
WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?
Whether you’re looking for a place to fish for a certain kind of fish or just want to go out with the family, relax and see what’s catching. What you want will be determined by a few things: the lake where you should fish, what fishing gear you need to bring, or whether licenses are required. Here you will find a brief description of a few species of fish and what you should expect to catch them.
FISH SPECIES
Perch. These fish can be caught both from shore and from a boat. Although perch fishing requires more casting and patience, they are worth it. You will immediately know that you have caught a perch as these fish cross the bait aggressively.
Catfish. Catfish fishing is good from the shore. If you like fishing at night, these fish are a great choice that.
Carp. Carp are not very popular in other countries, but there are many of them in Lithuania. They are easy to catch and the fight is quite fun.
Pike. Catching these fish takes some time, patience, preparation, but the fight is worth them. They are usually in deep water, so you will need a boat to catch them. Also, get ready for their sharp teeth.
HURRY DAY WITH FAMILY
A simple float and earthworm are good choices for perch, carp, moonfish, and… pumpkin seeds. You need to find a place where you can see the float perfectly and the wind will not take it to the bushes. If you are looking for a quiet holiday with the family, or want to teach children to fish, fishing for these fish from the shore is a great choice to start with.
Fishing in this way will not require much equipment, and will not be difficult to teach. Find a place where you can conveniently store all your belongings. It could be a bridge or a pier where you can put a few chairs or immerse your feet in the water. It would also be good if there is a toilet nearby.
OTHER THINGS TO CONSIDER
Are you going to fish from shore or from a boat? Here are some things to consider:
Lake Shore. Is the shore clean enough for good access to water? Is there a bathing place in that place? Is the lake-wide enough and convenient for good fishing?
Fishing from a boat. Does this lake have a good place to lower the boat? Will you have to rent a boat? If you have your own, will its size fit this lake?
OFFSHORE FISHING
Fishing in lakes from the shore can offer fishermen many options with little lead time. It only takes a few minutes to prepare, and you don’t have to look for a lake that has access to boats.
Once you find the right shore, make sure the water is moving in it or has an inflow from a natural source or stream. If the water in a small lake or pond does not move, there is a high chance that it is low in oxygen, so the fish will have less desire to catch.
Buy a small box of fishing tackle with essentials like hooks, sinker, floats, bait and more. Pick up more equipment according to your own needs.
It is advisable to tidy up the fishing rod while you are still at home. This will be much easier than fighting the wind or other disturbances.
Look for places near shrubs, grass, or lilies. When you go to that place, throw in the line, you never know where and what you can catch.
Nevertheless, don’t forget to enjoy fishing and relax. Fish may not catch in an instant, you may have to try a few different points, but you will learn and begin to understand these aquatic inhabitants.
FISHING FROM BOATS
If you’re fishing from a boat, here are a few choices on how you can do it. Stay in one place, drop anchor and get ready for fishing. If it’s a hot day, look for a place with a deeper grass cover and a shallower depth. Perch love cooler waters and feed in these places. If it’s the spawning season, you can try to find a spawning spot, usually closer to shore.
In the end
For some fishing is a good pastime, relaxing with families, for others a way of life, a hobby. Whatever it is for you, it can provide a lot of satisfaction and relaxation. You don’t need to have a lot of supplies to get started. Fishing is not complicated, you just need to love and love it.
