Hoping To Catch Your Trophy Fish? Here's How!

Fishing can be such a relaxing activity! With all the stressful things that can happen in life, it's important to have a hobby that you can dive into that helps you destress. If fishing is that hobby for you, read on! Our boat lift remote controls company is here to give you a few fishing tips in this week's blog. If you'd like to get out on the water faster so you can get to your fishing even quicker, call Firstmate Controls today. 



Hoping To Catch Your Trophy Fish? Here's How!


Find your prime fishing spot and don't forget where it is.

Load up your gear, pack a cooler for the day, and get out on your boat! You'll more easily be able to reach those hard to get to spots that are probably teeming with big game. The closer you can get to their hiding spots, the better chances you'll have of catching the monsters that you can brag about for years to come!


Bring the right bait for what you're fishing for.

By researching, you'll find that buzz-bait and live bait are most attractive to large mouth bass. Also, you need to know when the best time to fish for your species of choice is. For example, large mouth bass are more easily caught in the early mornings, later evenings, and sometimes during the day in cloudy overcast conditions. As you can see, there's a lot more than just casting a line and hoping for the best if you want to actually catch some fish, so do your research to be prepared. 


Bring the right rod for what you're fishing for.

Choose the right rod for the job - Stronger rods can cast heavier lures, but won’t be as sensitive to gentle strikes from a fish, or may not flex enough to work well with lightweight line. Lighter rods may be very sensitive, but not strong enough to fight bigger fish. Shorter rods provide more power for fighting a fish and are commonly used for trolling and big game fishing. Longer rods can cast farther. Make sure you've got the right reel for your intended use and that it's functioning properly. Remember, the speed or power of your reel is based on its gear ratio. The higher ratios produce speed, the lower ratios produce power. When properly combined, your rod and reel will be the best weapon in your arsenal.
