describe the process of fishing?

Answer 1

A 12 pack 2 men in a boat, hooks, and worms. Now that I think about it, it really doesn't sound that good.

Answer 2

It depends on what your fishing for, but for bass fishing it requires some work and it's worth the money to buy quality rods and reels not your 19.97 kmart special, on some waters you wouldn't even catch a fish for the simple fact that you can't feel the bite, You don't have to run out and buy gloomis either. I started with basspro's tourney special a fairly cheap rod but decent and the better on is the basspro extreme 39.00 compared to 100.00 you can usually get a decent reel and they will give you and extreme rod with it. best buy. The more the ball bearings the better it usually is. You will need basic tackle, worms,spinner baits, crankbaits, and tubes, a little help black and blue or green pumkin are great colors for soft plastics. you can catch fish at almost any lake on them two colors. The senko type bait usually works well in 4in and 5in. just cast out and let fall to the bottom, watch your line for movement and set the hook. a spinner reel works well for this another is a stand up jig head with a 4in worm cast it out and twitch the rod tip once it has fallen. If you don't know how to cast you will need to pratice that. It is alot easier if you have a lake or pond close by to fish with alot of fish in it, I know some places down south you might only get 5 bites in 8 to 9 hours. I like to use 8lb. Gamma line, it's new and it's awesome. They usually have this at a dicksporting goods store. If fishing from a boat get a decent life jacket and wear it, you must think of safety, if you were to get throred out of a boat you may not be able to ever fish, and pick up trash don't throw it in the lake or around the area you are fishing. Hopefully this will help you out, I'll put a few places to look for tackle at.

Answer 3

First of all you need fishing tackle {rod - reel - line - hook - sinker}
Ones you have the fishing tackle sorted out you would need to get fresh bait. Once you have fishing tackle and fresh bait you would need to check the weather and water condition. So once you have the tackle, fresh bait and weather conditions are good you go fishing.

Just remember to bait up the hook before you cast in the line

Answer 4

well a water source with fish in it is a good start then you need a rod ,line ,bait but it sounds like you should go to the store and just buy a fish allready cleaned or McDonalds filet o fish sandwich

Answer 5

Spend about $1000 on fishing equipment, tackle, clothes, lures, bait, food, beer, and then catch a fish that's worth about $5.

Answer 6

get some videos on the subject before spending lots of money good gears not cheap

Answer 7

It's actually slightly more complicated than it looks..... and for a better description than you'll find here, grab hold of an excellent book called "John Bailey's Complete Guide to Freshwater Fishing" (ISBN 1-84330-567-4).

But a few basics to get you started:
1) Watercraft & understanding the fish you're targetting
Watercraft is skill learned by all the best Anglers, and takes time to master...... it's basically using your observation skills to figure out where you're most likely to catch.
It also helps to know about the fish you're after.... different species have different characteristics - Some feed off the bottom of the river/lake they're in, while others feed off the surface....some eat mostly vegetation, while others a predators that feed on other fish, and wait to ambush them from a suitable hiding place.

2) Choosing the tackle & setting it up
There's many different kinds of tackle, for many different styles of fishing - Lure fishing, fly fishing, bait fishing, sea fishing from the shore, sea fishing from a boat, etc..... and of course these vary from country to country, which you'll see if you compare a British online tackle shop, such as http://www.mullarkeys.co.uk or http://www.fishtec.co.uk with an American one, such as http://www.cabelas.com
The tackle you choose all depends on the location you plan on fishing, and the species you're planning to catch..... for instance Lure fishing is for targetting predatory species (Largemouth Bass, Perch, European Pike, Walleye/Zander, etc) with bits of wood, metal or plastic designed to imitate a sick or dying fish... and fool the predatory fish into thinking it's found an easy meal.

Fly fishing.... mainly used for Salmon & Trout, but can be used to catch any species that feeds on insects by using hooks decorated with various bits and pieces to make it look like an insect.

Bait fishing...... possibly the most obvious form, and falls into 2 categories: Float fishing, and Legering (using a weight instead of a float)..... here the choice is endless: Worms, Sweetcorn, slugs, cheese, bread, maggots, meat, marshmallows, dog biscuits, cat food.... you name it.

Sea fishing is basically the same as bait fishing in freshwater, but uses heavier weighs to cast with.... and I split it into 2 categories, since with shore fishing you need a rod & reel capable of launching your bait upto 200yrds out...... while doing it from a boat, you requires a different approach.

Setting it up is basically the same no matter what kind of fishing you're doing (just different approaches require set-ups)..... basically you need to know a few knots.... such as the MAHSEER knot for attaching Swivels & eyed hooks, The DOUBLE OVERHAND LOOP for in case you need to make a loop at one end of your line + the Blood knot, for in case you need to attach 2 pieces of line together.
No matter what knot you use, when tying it with monofilament fishing line.... always wet the knot with saliva before you tighten it, or the friction will weaken the line (and always dispose of waste line properly... cut it up before binning it to avoid tangling wildlife in it).

3) Casting
This is basically the technique used to get your bait out to where you want it to catch a fish....... there's several different kinds:
The Overhead cast - used mostly for distance

The underhand flick - used for short range accuracy, or if fishing under a tree branch or other overhead obstruction

The pendulum cast - used for long range when beach fishing

Dunking it - just lowering the line down directly below you, like when fishing from a boat or a pier.

Fly casting - there's several different forms of doing this, and they're different from those used in any other kind of fishing.... all the casting weight is in the flyline, since all you got on the end of your line is a hook, which has next to no weight in it.... in other forms of fishing you've got weight from your bait, weight and / or float to help get your bait out where you want it.. but you don't when fly fishing.

4) The Bite
Basically your indication that a fish has taken interest in your bait, and takes several different forms
a) Your float (if using one) bobs up & down, or moves off before disappearing under the surface.

b) The tip of your rod starts to twitch, but can be easy to get fooled if there's a bit of a wind blowing.

c) feeling it through the line, if using a technique called "touch legering" (holding the line with thumb & finger to feel for tugs on the line)

d) A beep on an electronic Bite indicator

e) sometimes if you watch closely enough (helps if you wear polarised sunglasses to cut down glare from the sun), you'll see the line slowly moving.

5) The strike
Basically giving the rod a flick upwards to set the hooks in properly.

6) Playing & Landing
This can be important if you get into a big fish, and can result in losing the fish if you don't know how to do it properly.... basically applying pressure on the fish to make it see your side of the argument, and stop it from getting into underwater obstructions.... before finally drawing it into the landing net (remember: Fish-to-net, rather than lunging at it with the net, or you could knock it off and the last moment).

7) Unhooking the fish and releasing it unharmed, or killing it for the dinner table...... if releasing it, ALWAYS wet your hands before handling it, or it'll removed the fish' protective slime. If you insist on killing it for the dinner table, always use the correct tool (a "priest") to clonk it on the head to humanely put the fish out of it's misery.

Answer 8

Put a worm a hook, and you drop it in...

Answer 9

STICK IT IN THE HOLE AND PUMP THE ROD
