all the most popular sports
may mean different things to different people, but it all comes down to just a couple of things. Many fishermen are out there for the thrill of the hunt and, of course, the battle to land that lunker. Others is only peace, tranquility, fresh air and beauty of nature, but love to catch some fish to be a perfect outlet.
I’ve been for over 50 years and even more frequently in the past 10 years, during this time I learned a lot about a number of fisheries in general. The most important thing is that you can never know everything. Even a beginner can show an old timer a trick or two.
Over the years I have seen hundreds of fishermen to fish the areas that are filled with enthusiasm and determination and ending leaving frustrated and confused. With just a little advice that this could have for a better experience and more than likely created another addict like me. It may take some time to become a professional, but the enjoyment of this sport is done with greater ease.
When you start the first thing you want is just basic information on where and when to fish. Sounds easy and generally just ask other fishermen, the owners submit bait owners, heck just ask.
Now for your , rod and reel. Sounds simple enough, but maybe not. As in most other sports, cheap or poor equipment will result in poor results. As an example, I met a colleague in southern Ontario (Toronto), while here at home for Northern pike, and asked how it was . His comment was that he was going to rent a boat and give it a chance. So I asked her if she would like me to leave that night and he accepted. I met him in the dock and told him that his place in the loading of the boat and offered him a life jacket and away we went. I did not realize what he had loaded in the first, except it had a nice table to address new and important, as we passed, I asked where is your rod and reel. He was to open its box to cope with new and proceeded to get one of those towers pocket fisherman. Of course, I had a hard time not laughing out loud, but came to offer one of my other platforms that are already on the boat.
Once you hit the area was intended to troll had to say politely that I wanted to use your own rod, but requested that one of his decoys to be used for northern pike. He had a large red and white spoon and told to use and secured the line enough to stop what they were doing. I think I was praying for him to get the first strike and of course it did after about 15 minutes or so, and the fun began.
Now suppose I had in pike which was about 15 pounds, not so great, but the fight with that little short toy was fun to watch. I thought it could not get the fish to the boat, but it did so despite fast network, and I had told him to stop, can not hear me as I leaned over to the network had to reel that fish up to about 2 feet from the tip that little of the rod, all you did was lean pike on the line and was gone.
I should add here that had no leader on that team. After he was so excited and of course wanted to keep , but asked if he could use one of my other bars that was fine because I wanted to see it actually hook and land a good fish. To shorten the story I made 2 more land and a small northerns Walleye. Oh yes I did catch a fish, a Walleye and pike, but we have a new addict to here. The next day he went to the city to the Canadian Tire store and is properly equipped.
I imagine that the young woman from southern Ontario had a high altitude, some stories to tell when he came home. I wonder how big that one is out now!
A light action graphite spinning rod and reel will be responsible for most fish to be captured, besides being light enough for even the beginner feel the light of those affected Walleye.
So go out to relax, take your time. Bring a lunch or coffee or even better catch and cook your lunch in one of the many small islands around the northern lakes. Most just enjoy the fresh air, wildlife and landscape. Enjoy it all at the same time see that your Loon, deer or a moose feeding, a large Walleye could inhale your bait swim up and sending tic that his line through his stick to fingers. Set the hook and there are lunch!
So enough of my time for dinner and 5 minutes walk to the river and make some molds and see what happens.
