When teaching young children to fish, you should begin by placing a floating bobber on their line. When a fish bites the bait the bobber will plunge under the water allowing the youngster to know that they have a bite. Bobbers are used by many fishermen as well as children.
Fishing should always be undertaken with a group of people who understand the importance of quiet. Unlike many other sports, fishing requires long periods of time with no sound at all and very little movement. This helps to lure the fish closer to your spot without scaring them off.
When fishing, sit in a location for at least 30 minutes before giving up. In many cases, you need to give the scent of your bait time to travel and you need to give the fish in the water time to locate your line. If you don't wait at least 30 minutes for this to happen, you might miss out on some great catches.
If you are going to be using live bait to go fishing, be sure your bait is not kept in the sun for too long. Most fish prefer bait that is cooler, rather than warmer. Have the bait kept in an insulated container until you are ready to use it.
