Fishing – a hobby for relaxation of a never ending competition? Or maybe, a little bit of both…
I’ve always thought that there are two types of fishermen: those who know all fishing tips and tricks and are at the top of the game and those who just sit there in the middle of nowhere, killing time. If the first one is your kind, that you better get a hold of some good old fishing tips and tricks, cause those big fish are not going to catch themselves!
The hardest one to catch in Australia are: crappies and trouts.
The trout is on the move during whole summer and it is quite impossible to extract it from those fast moving streams. To catch this wondrous fish, the best thing is to use bugs tied with synthetic fur and fibre for the salt. With these attached together, you’ll put yourself on a higher level that fisherman who use rabbit fur and feathers – which absorb a lot of water and sinks faster.
Trouts can be found in salt-water, ponds, lakes and they are perfect for your summer adventures. However, remember that you can find a perfect hatch, tie it on the best bug and bait the trout diabolically and still fail. Whenever this happens, most fisherman quickly change their patterns. In calmer waters, trouts depend on bugs that are on the surface usually drying their wings.
If you want to fish for crappies, using a slingshot is the best way to catch these fish. A famous fact is that they always seek shade in small jigs under the docks and although this is great info, it also makes them hard to catch unless you’re willing to be on the watch all day long. These fish usually nab the jig as it starts to fall down and you are alerted by the swinging pendulum. However, at different periods of the day, they would not react so fast to catch the jig, usually after a cold front.
It’s always good to rely on more than one source for the best tips and tricks. You can do this by consulting with more experienced fishermen who are willing to share information with you, watch fishing videos and read magazines related to this topic. And let’s not forget the most improtant teacher of them all – your own experience gained by the inevitable process of trial, errors and then success.
