When choosing a throwing net to catch bait fish, pay attention to the mesh size. Smaller is good for small bait fish in shallow water while larger is best suited to larger bait in deeper water.
If you see eggs like these on a plate they are a delicacy, but if you see them in your fishing areas leave them be! Fish eggs come in a variety of colors and the ones you see in the wild could grow into a future catch!

If you have ever caught a fish with a hole in it or a round scar it may have been a Lamprey's lunch! Those circular toothy mouths in the photos are how Lampreys make those perfect bites, ever seen one?
If you are seeing frogs where you fish then the bass are eating frogs. Casting a frog mimics their natural prey and can help you stay free of weeds as you retrieve through lily pads.🐸

Some species of fish will jump out of the water for a chance at food. If you are really bold you can even use your finger as bait, just be ready to grab on tight when they come in for a bite and be sure there are no predators with sharp teeth in the water. #Handfishing
If you have that one lucky lure that brings the bites on bad days then it doesn't hurt to get a back up or write down the brand. What is your favorite lure? #fishinglures#lures#bestfishinglure
If you are night fishing and there is little to no moonlight use a darker solid color lure for a traceable silhouette. If the moonlight is glowing then lures with bolder colors will stand out! #FishTips#FishingTips#Bassfishingtips
If you are lucky enough to enjoy the thrill of Barracuda fishing keep in mind that they love to investigate new things in their territory. So if one lure or bait is not getting strikes switch it up to keep them interested! #BarracudaFishing#Barracuda#Saltwaterfishing
If you are fishing in a rocky area be careful when reeling in your catch. Fish tend to thrash and can tare themselves up on the rocks. #FishingTips#Fishinglovers#FishSafely
Weedless frogs and other protected hooks are good for the weeds you can see, but always remember there can be much more beneath the surface that can snag your lures. #fishingtips#fishingtipsandtricks#fishinglife
Sure it could be the wind or a leaf from a tree, but it might just be a fish coming up for some air or a bug on the surface. It never hurts to cast near ripples on calm water. #fishingtips#fishingtipsandtricks#fishinglife
Predators are built to sense animals in distress. If you are in an area with gators, bears, or sharks stay aware of your surroundings because they may want a piece of your fish at the end of your line. #fishingsafetytips#fishsafely#fishingtips
Not sure where the bass are hiding? Cast as deep as you can and slowly cast closer to the shore on either side. If there are bass in the area chances are your lure will cross their hiding spot. #bassfishing#fishingtipsandtricks#bassfishingtips
If you are planning to catch and release, try to get your fish back in the water as soon as possible. The longer they are out of the water and the more intense the temperatures are that day, the lower their chance of survival when they are released. #fishingtips#bassfishing
