Fishing Tackle: How to Find the Best Fishing Spot?

For fishermen, especially the fishing beginners, how to choose a fishing spot is very important, it relates directly to how much fish you can catch. Then, how to find the suitable fishing spot? Ask a boss of fishing tackles store or someone else? Or search it on the internet? I have to say that these are both good ideas, but have you ever wondered to find such a place by yourself? “Give a person a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a person to fish and you feed her for a lifetime”, you can’t expect people tell you their favorite spots willingly every time, you should try to find your own spot.

Here are some suggestions for you:

1. Open your Google Maps

You can’t drive a car and search the suitable spot everywhere, and it is unrealistic.You can open your Google Map, a quick Google search can usually help you find a good place. Through the map, you can see the terrain and surrounding area of the spot clearly. You can find several spots from the map and write them down.

2. Go to the spot you choose

When you find some spots on the Google Map, the next thing you need do is going to these spots one by one, and choose the best spot. You can only know the terrain and surroundings through the map, but you can’t know whether there have fish or not through it. Some spots may seem very suitable in the map, but you can’t catch any fish there. So, you’d better go to these spots and have a look. Then you may ask:” How to make sure that spot has fish?”

The bubble

If you want to make sure whether the spot has fish a not, the bubble is an important indicator. It can tell us much information about this spot: the species of fish, the amount of fish, the size of fish and the movement of fish. Different fishes will spit different bubbles, but common point is that the larger the bubbles, the bigger the fish.

The water

As we say in China-“if the water is too clean, there will be no fish”. When you go to a spot and find the water is very clean, you can give up it and find another one. If you want to fish in the river, the color of water should be light green, light blue or light cyan. And If you want to fish in a pond, the color of water should be white, light brown or light green.

The smell of water

Try to smell the water against the water. If the water smells fishy, then this spot must have fish. And there will be a lot of fish when the smell is strong.

The water birds

When you come to a spot, and see the water birds like egrets fly low out over the water, it means the fish in this spot is very active, and you can fish here.

I just give you some simple advice for fishing, and the longer you fishing, the more you will know. At that time, you will have your own way of finding the fishing spot.
