Two Basic Tips for the Fishing Novice
Are you a fan of PC fishing games like Ocean Fishing, Championship Bass, or Fishing Craze? Or are you one of those who would like to experience the real deal? If you are not exactly an expert in the fishing world,
then you are quite in luck. Here are just two easy-to-do tips and
tricks for beginners to minimize fishing mistakes and maximize all the
fun:
Know your fishing equipment
A common mistake by wannabe fishers is that they
underestimate the importance of the fishing gear. In fact, this same
scenario is often a mistake by pros in varying fields of sports. If you
want to keep your fishing trip enjoyable, you should know the basic
things you need for fishing. Generally, you would only need a reel, a
rod and a line. For beginners, a perfect reel would be a simple fixed
spool. It should be sufficient enough to keep up with heavy lures. As
for the rod, it is best to pick something based on your target fish. So
if you’d go for carp fishing, then buy a carp rod. Ideally, a 10 to 12
feet rod is suitable for learners. As for the line, you should use the
traditional mono. This type is already strong enough to take enough
breaking strain. And of course, do not forget your bait. A half pint of
mixed maggots or worms should be more than enough for the trip.
Top Three Baits for Catching Carp
Below are three excellent baits perfect for catching carp with.
Pellets
These
tiny compressed food capsules work wonders for catching carp. You can
either make your own or buy them in bulk online. It's up to you what
you put in your pellets, it could be trout, salmon or even halibut.
Just experiment and see which one works best. It's also a good idea to
mix and match different sizes and varieties of pellets so you can
create a more confusing baited area for the carp. But if you're buying
your pellets, keep in mind that the more money a pellet costs, the
better it is likely to be.
Tiger nut
Tiger
nuts have a powerful smell which attract carp easily. They make a
brilliant bait because not only do they release a strong aroma, but
fish really like eating them too. When using a tiger nut as bait, use
it on its own without the aid of any other bait. You can buy dry tiger
nuts in bulk from stores like Haithes or Hinders. Alternatively, you
could use the tinned versions.
Tiger nuts need to be
prepared properly before they are used as bait. Soak the nuts for a day
or two in water before bringing them to the boil. Then let them simmer
for about half an hour before leaving them to soak in their juices for
another 24 hours.
Tinned corn
Carps
love corn. It is brightly coloured which grabs their attention, plus
the corn’s taste and texture is very appealing to carp. The best corn
to use is the tinned variety because it is high in sugar and salt which
attract carp wonderfully.
