Fishing is a hobby that unites families, since it is an activity that can create memories and stories that will last throughout the years. It is amazing that an activity that is relatively low in amount of time and monetary cost can create an experience that will allow friends and family members of multiple generations to come together and spend quality time together fishing marathon fl. Here are five ideas to help make your next fishing trip easier for you and your kids:

  • Whenever possible, use live bait. Although children love the various shapes and colors that can be found among plastic hooks and lures, most children do not have the knowledge or experience to present these artificial hooks in a way that makes them appear authentic and attractive to fish. . As a result, fishing is slow and boredom can creep into your fishing excursion. To increase the fun and reduce boredom, providing fish with an edible hook gives young anglers the opportunity to set the hook and catch a fish. Worms make a great bait for a variety of fish and wax worms are also a great choice for bleak fishing. Remember to keep the hook cool and in the shade, when possible,
  • Young children have shorter attention spans and expecting them to sit quietly while you wait for that big flathead catfish will be a bad experience for everyone involved. You should by no means leave them at home, but be prepared with other activities that involve your children, such as a book to read or coloring pages. Plan your first few trips to be shorter and focus on your child's casting skills and being safe around the water. This will pay off in the long run. Or better yet, set them up to fish for sable while you wait for a bite from a catfish.
  • To help (the emphasis is on you) have more fun and avoid spending the entire trip baiting hooks, practice baiting! Here is a great method for teaching how to bait a hook for bleak fishing. All you will need is a pack of gummy worms and some large paper clips. Cut some candy worms into pieces about half an inch or up to an inch long. Next, straighten the clips and shape them into fishing hooks. Sitting at a table with no distractions, use the sock and foot analogy to explain that the hook is our foot and the worm is our sock. Start at one end of the worm and slowly roll our "sock" over our "foot" being careful of our "sharp nails". Everyone will laugh a lot as they spend quality time together and,
  • Arrange your poles and equipment the night or day before your departure. Nothing fancy is required. A basic rig using a rod and reel (push button) combination or even a rod will suffice. Attach a size 8 or smaller hook to your line and add a size 3/0 split shot and cork. A bigger hook means you can only catch big fish and there aren't many of those out there. Also, it is possible to catch big fish with small hooks, but the opposite is not true. Young anglers have a much better experience catching lots of small fish rather than none while waiting for one of the big ones. Go small on the bobber, using a one-inch one, rather than a larger buoy-sized fish indicator. The smaller cork size will allow even small fish to move the cork underwater so you know you've got a bite. Be careful not to use too large a split shot weight, try a size 3/0 split shot as this is one of the best sizes to fish for bleak and you should only need to use one. If your weight sinks the cork, then your hook and weight combination is too heavy. Remember, the fish should be pulling the cork down, not the sinker then your hook and weight combination is too heavy. Remember, the fish should be pulling the cork down, not the sinker then your hook and weight combination is too heavy. Remember, the fish should be pulling the cork down, not the sinker.
  • Finally, once you have arrived at your fishing spot, spark the imagination of the young fishermen by asking them to think like a goldfish. Remind them that small fish do not want to be eaten and will hide. Have the children look at the structural cover of the lake or pond to determine where they are most likely to find small fish. For example, that tree that fell into the lake near the shore would make an excellent "hiding place" for a small fish. This teaches young anglers to think about where they are going to cast instead of casting far into the middle where there are not many fish. Once they are fully convinced that you have an idea of ​​the fish habitat, remind them that when they are hungry, the big fish will also occupy those same spaces.
