FAQ
To fish, do we need a pole?
Yes! A bobber keeps the bait safe from being taken by other fisherman when they are fishing. The bobber consists of two parts: the line and the float. Attach the hook to the line at the end and then let go. The lure could sink to the bottom if you don't have a bobber. This makes it harder for fish to take the bait.
How do I know if my lure works?
You should watch out for movement in your lure when it is thrown into the water. If there is movement, your lure is operating properly.
Are there different types?
Yes, there are many kinds of lures. Some lures are specifically made for certain fish species. Others mimic insects, grasshoppers and frogs. Lures come in many sizes and shapes. Some lures look like real bugs.
What happens if a person is caught fishing illegally
You could face fines or jail time as well as losing your fishing permit. It's important to know the rules before you go fishing.
What happens if I catch a fish and lose it?
It is part of the game to lose a fish. Sometimes you might catch a fish but then lose it. If this happens, keep trying. You will eventually catch another fish.
