i never catch fish?

Question

what is the best wayu to catch pikes and walleyes, i never catch anything each time i go fishing and i always end up fishing with maggots cause i try jerkbait, nothing, rubber bait, nothing, feathers,nothing, spinners,nothing. what am i doing wrong? where are pikes and walleyes? am i not catching any because of the way i retrieve my lure or what, im desperate.

Answer 1

sometimes fishing can be tuff and the key is to just keep at it and eventually you will be a success alos ask around for info from regulars of the lake and also why not try changig your venue

Answer 2

You need to scout out locations. Go to fishing sites without a fishing rod and walk around. Be on the lookout for anyone catching fish. If you see someone catch a fish walk up to that person and calmly flattered then ask that person questions. Once done, now you know there are fish in that lake and what they are biting on. It's all about scouting out a location before you drop a line.

Answer 3

they are probably just goofing around, making forts, sharpening sticks, and stuff. or their just throwing their fish back. or maybe they aren't patient with fishing, and the take the pole out of the water every other seconds. hows about next time you go along with them. if they tell you to go back, then somethin fishy is goin on (haha lol). but if you go there with them and they fish, and they catch fish, then somethin fishy is goin on, think about it, how come they catch fish no that you are there, and not all the other days. now i honestly think they are doing somethin weird and you have to be onto them, unless you go and fish with them and they really dont catch any fish.

Answer 4

i'm sorry i really don't have an answer for you but i have always had a problem catching fish too. i finally gave up fishing it was so bad that when i was a kid my sisters use to put a fish on my line so i would think i caught one. the really sad thing is my dad was a really good fisherman and owned a marina. he said that the fish didn't like me but i have heard of people that for one reason or another the fish are repelled by them and they never can catch anything. i really did enjoy fishing but its not much fun when you don't catch anything. hope someone can help you.

Answer 5

try live or dead baits live are better because they will swim around in the swim you are using and you cant beat the real thing a fish in distress is what the pike is always looking for hope this helps

Answer 6

ask around..because maybe you are not in the right place at the right time..either way..I know the feeling ha

Answer 7

There is no real perfect way to fish for Pike or Walleye. The result will vary depending on where your actually fishing, fish availability. To truly enjoy the experience you can just fish and you will like most of us catch what you catch.

I have seen pike caught on crawlers just off the bottom, bobber fishing. But, your results may vary. You can also try fishing with mousies

When it comes to fishing lures, you want to be sure you have the right one for the job but with so many to choose from how do you pick the best one? The waters you are fishing, the time of year and the weather all have an impact on what type of lure will look tasty to the species of fish you were trying to catch.

There are a variety of different lures, all in different shapes sizes and colors and most avid anglers have quite a selection in their tackle box. Here are a few types you might want to include in your list of fishing gear.

Surface Lures

These are lures that you retrieve along the surface of the water and are fun to use since the fish explodes up out of the water in order to take in the lure. They are great if you're fishing in waters that have a lot of weeds since they remain on the top and are less likely to get tangled in the weeds. Surface lures come in all kinds of colors and shapes and it's fun to pick them out in the store and find the ones that work best for you.

Spoons

Spoons are a simple metal lure that looks like a spoon. When you retrieve them they make a wobbling motion which is attractive to fish. They are inexpensive and fairly easy to use so a great choice for beginners.

Spinners

This type of fishing lore has a blade that rotates and the rotating motion gives off a reflection which imitates the light glinting off of fish scales in the water. When you are retrieving a spinner, you can alter the speed that you retrieve thus making it look like an injured fish. If you're fishing for pike a large spinner can be great but if you go in for mullet or trout try a smaller size.

Jerk Baits

Jerk baits don't have any movement on their own but allow the angler to jerk them and bring them to life like a wounded fish or worm. You cast them into the water and then make a jerky motion with your rod which simulates the movements of an injured fish making it look like a tasty morsel to the fish you are trying to attract.

Soft Baits

These are soft rubber baits that could look like long worms or frogs or a bunch of other shapes. Typically these are used with a weighted jig head and retreat slowly or in a jerky motion.

Floating Divers

This type of fishing lure sinks into the water after you cast and can cover depths up to 15 feet or more. Each floor is designed for a different depth and this depends on the angle of the lure. A lure with a smaller angle will dive deeper than a lore with a bigger angle. Depending on the depth of the water that your target fish hangs out in will dictate the type of lure you use.

Light Standard Casting Lures

Standard casting lures can be used to catch a large range of fish including certain types of bass if retrieve data slow to medium speed. They range from about 1/16 of announced to 3 ounces and are typically used for freshwater fishing of lightweight species.

Heavy Standard Casting Lures

This heavy fishing lure is best used for the heaviest fish like bass and walleye. Just like any other lure they come in a variety of shapes, sizes and colors.

Long Casting - Jigging Lures

These jigging lures are used for long casting and are used to catch anything from tuna to trout to pike.

Deadly Diamond Lures

This is a small fishing lure that is under 1 ounce and is used to catch the smaller fish. It's cut with a diamond shape on the top and the light reflects from this therefore attracting fish. These lures are typically used for walleye and crappy although can work good for other small species to.
