For the true fisherman, nothing is better than getting up before the sun rises, grabbing your tackle box, rod, net and lunch and heading out to your boat for a day of just you and the fish. For those people who don’t love fishing, the appeal in these antics seems less than desirable. But for those men and women who are passionate about this leisurely hobby, nothing can beat a day on the water, hoping to catch the elusive “big one”. Imagine, slowly puttering along, a light fog dancing across the top of the glass-like water in total silence. Serenity like this is seemingly impossible to achieve in today’s fast paced society.
To be a true fishing enthusiast, it takes the perfect combination of patience, skill and being in the right place at the right time. Patience is important because it can take hours, or even days for there to be even the slightest nibble at the line. To say the least, this can be quite frustrating. The skill that becomes important while fishing is the ability to set the hook upon feeling the nibble of the fish. It’s that little yank on the rod that drives the hook into the fish’s mouth. This determines if the fish will free itself and get away, or if it will be successfully reeled in. Also, the finesse in making the bait look desirable to the fish depends on the slight flicks of the rod so the bait looks like its alive and swimming around. Finally, it is quite obvious that being in a good location and being in a bad location can make all the difference in how successful a day of fishing is. With some knowledge of the bodies of water in the area and a little bit of luck, a day of fishing can be extremely successful. Nothing is better than a person just back from a great day of fishing; full of stories (both true and false) of the fish they acquired and the ones that got away.
