The lure could sink into the waters, making it difficult for the fish bite.

How To
How to fish in Freshwater
Freshwater fishing can be described as catching freshwater fish from streams, lakes, rivers and ponds. Common fish species include bass, catfish and crappie as well as trout, trout, sunfish and walleye. These species can all be caught using several methods. You can use a variety of methods to catch fish such as trolling or casting.
Finding a good spot to catch fish is the first step in any fishing endeavor. This typically means you need to choose a location close to your water supply. Next you must decide what kind of equipment you want to use.
Live bait should look like food to fish, so that they will eat it. Live bait is made up of worms (minnows), crickets (frogs), bloodworms (bloodworms), grasshoppers, and any other small insects.
Artificial lures include baits made from plastic, wood, feathers and metal. Artificial lures come in many shapes and sizes. They imitate natural prey items such as minnows, crawfish, shiners, grubs, and other aquatic animals. Lures are popular because they require little skill to throw them in the water. Easy to set up, and easy to retrieve when they reach their target.
If you do not want to use live bait or if you just want to try some new techniques then you might consider learning how to cast. Casting is one way to catch fish. It takes very little effort and requires no special skill.
A rod, reel, line and sinker, floatant, hooks and weights are all you need. You can cast with just a pole. To cast the rod, hold it vertically above water's surface. Then you slowly lower the tip of the rod until it touches the water. Once it touches the water, the line will begin to unwind from your reel. Once the line has reached its maximum length, release the rod and let the lure drop back into the water.
Trolling is another method for catching fish. Trolling, which uses a boat and lures to move through the water, is another method of catching fish.
Fishing is fun, rewarding and enjoyable. There are many kinds of fishing and each one has its advantages and disadvantages. Although some techniques are easier than others, all methods require practice and patience.
