FAQ
Is it safe?
No matter where your fish is purchased, make sure you ask the seller whether they have an expiration date. The fish is safe to eat if it doesn't have an expiration. If the fish smells or looks bad, you should not eat it.
Is it possible for me to fish both at night and during the day?
Yes, but make sure to use artificial light. Fisherman use artificial lighting to attract them. Because fish become more active after darkness falls, artificial lights are very effective when the sun goes down.
How deep should I go with my line?
Cast your line as deep as possible. Make sure your arm is straight while casting a long line.

How To
Why would you want to use a spinning rod instead?
The spinning rod is useful when you need to throw your lure in the water and not have to get out of the boat. This is a great option if you don’t want to spend too much time returning to the boat after casting. The spinning rod allows you to cast from any angle and still have control over your line. There are three major components to the rod; handle, butt and reel section. You hold the rod with your fingers and grip the shaft. The butt section is where you attach the rod's tip to the hook. Finally, the reel seat holds your line onto the reel. There are many rod options available today. Some are designed to be used only for certain types of fishing, such as casting or trolling. Others can be used to fly fish, spin fish, baitfish, and so on.
The type you catch will affect the type rod you choose. For example, if you intend to catch large predatory species like pike or bass, you'll need a heavy-duty fishing rod. A lighter-weight rod might work best if you were targeting smaller species like trout or salmon. You could even go so far as to buy several rod sizes depending on how big the fish you hope to catch is.
Spinning Rods can be used for more than just freshwater fishing. They are commonly used for saltwater fishing too. Saltwater spinning rods are generally heavier than their freshwater counterparts because they require stronger materials to withstand the rigors of saltwater. Saltwater spinners tend to have a longer rod, but a larger diameter. This allows them cast farther distances. However, keep in mind that there are some downsides to using a spinning rod for saltwater fishing. Saltwater spinning reels come without reels, which is a big difference from freshwater rods. Instead, you will have to buy one separately. The second reason is that they can be quite expensive. If you love catching bigger fish, then a spinning rod may be something to consider.
Spin fishing is a type of angling that uses a spinning rod to throw a weighted lure into water. The lure spins around the center point of the weighted lure as it swims through the water. This causes the lure's motion to be unpredictable in the water and makes it difficult for fishes to see. Fish may also mistakenly eat the lure for food, and begin to feed on it. This will make the lure more attractive to fish. The lure's line can then be reeled in by a fisherman. After the lure has been recovered, the fisherman will be able to reel in the line until he captures the desired amount of fish.
