FAQ
How can I tell whether my lure is working properly?
Watch for movement when you throw your lure in the water. If you see movement, then your lure is working properly.
What type is the best fishing license?
A fishing license must be purchased if you plan on fishing in state waters (i.e. rivers, lakes and bays). The state laws require that anglers obtain a valid fishing licence before they can fish. If you plan on fishing in federal waters (e.g., oceans or Great Lakes), you must obtain a valid fishing licence. Fishing licenses are not required if you plan to fish in federal waters. However, if you plan to take any fish home with you, then you must first check with local authorities to make sure you aren't breaking any laws.
Do you need a bobber to fish?
Yes. A bobber helps keep the bait in place when you fish. The bobber has two parts: the float and the line. You attach the hook and line to the lure. Once the line is out, let go of it. A bobber is not necessary to cast a lure. The lure could sink into the waters, making it difficult for the fish bite.

How To
How to Cast a Fishing Rod Easily
You must first know how to cast a fish rod. The rod should be held at a slight angle from the body so that the line is parallel to the ground. As you move the rod forward, ensure that the rod tip is perpendicular with the water's surface. If the tip hits the water's surface before the line reaches the bottom, the fish won't bite. This technique will increase the distance between the rod's tip and the water surface.
These tips will help you feel more comfortable casting a fishing rod.
The first thing you should do is to hold the rod at your chest. You can control the rod's direction by this method without having to bend down.
Second, when casting a heavy rod, you may want to set up a tripod on the shoreline or on a rock ledge. This will allow you secure your rod and reel while keeping it in place.
Third, consider getting a small reel over a more expensive one. A spinning reel that is inexpensive will enable you to cast further distances and improve your hand-eye coordination.
A fourth option is to purchase a fishing rod holder. These holders hold the rod securely and keep it upright. These holders are easy-to-store and prevent rod damage.
Fifth, practice casting until it becomes second nature. Casting a fishing pole takes practice.
Sixth, patience is key to successful fishing. You need to wait until the right moment strikes and then work hard for the fish.
