Tips, Tricks & More

• During your excursion, you will be fishing for largemouth bass. To learn more about largemouth bass—such as their habitats, fishing methods, baits and lures—check out the Fish Species section on takemefishing.org.
• Practice makes perfect when learning to cast. If you already have a rod and reel, practice casting with it in a large open yard or park before your excursion. Remember: Casting should be a fluid motion.
• Most fish will seek out structure. Be on the lookout for rocks, fallen trees, stumps or points, and cast your line in these areas.
• Pay close attention to the movement and feel of your line. It takes practice to differentiate between your lure or bait dragging on the bottom and a fish that is actually biting.
• Be patient. Patience is the key to a good fishing trip.
