Relaxing on the water while nature moves all around you can be a stunning adventure. It takes minimal knowledge to fish properly, so keep reading to achieve success and safety on your next fishing trip.

You may not want to do it, but you're going to have to get up early if you want to catch a fish. Most fish tend to be active prior to the sun coming up, so you will need to start the day before them. Set your alarm to ensure you have ample time to arrive at your fishing spot on time.

Make sure you have enough food and water when you go fishing and also a little extra. This extra water and food will come in handy, especially if you are caught waiting out a storm. Hunger will cause you to get even more frustrated if things go bad on the water, so stay full.

If you catch a large fish which turns around during the reel in time frame, let it go. At that point, the line is likely too short to pump and reel it in. Next time, you should wait longer prior to reeling in the fish.

Always check out the weather forecast before going out on your fishing expedition. Some weather patterns make it impossible to fish. Many people say that when the sky is cloudy and overcast, it is a great time to fish. While it is possible to catch fish in most weather conditions, overcast serves to give you the best chance to catch the most fish.

Bring a net with you if you plan to catch larger fish. A net makes bringing in the bigger fish simple and easy. A fishing net will help you reduce the chance of losing the fish and keep it from returning to the water.

As a general rule, you should try and match your lures with whatever bait inhabit the eare you are fishing. For example, if you are fishing a place with a lot of crawdads, then use a lure with a crawdad color scheme.

Wet your hands before you handle a fish. Most fishes contain a protective slime throughout their bodies and having your hands wet can protect you from this slime. Whether you release or eat the fish, this will help it to be in its optimal condition.

Grubs can make a fantastic bait. There are many different baits out there, but grub has proven itself time and time again. They are widely available and can attract many types of fish. So, give them a try if your typical bait isn't producing results.
