10 Things That Most Anglers Don't Know

Fishing is a beloved pastime for many, but even the most experienced anglers can not know everything. Here are 10 things that most anglers might not know:

1. Fish can smell human scent on lures, so it's important to wash your hands and avoid using scented products before fishing.

2. Lighter fishing line can actually be stronger than heavier line, as it has more flexibility and can stretch more before breaking.

3. Lures that imitate injured prey are often more effective than those that look like healthy prey.

4. Fish can see colors, so it's important to choose lures that match the natural color of their prey.

5. Fishing during low tide can be more productive, as fish are forced into concentrated areas.

6. The shape of a hook can affect the way a fish is caught, with circle hooks being less likely to hook the fish in the gut or gills.

7. Changing the angle at which a lure is presented can often trigger a strike from a hesitant fish.

8. Wind can be your friend when fishing, as it can cause baitfish to congregate and attract larger fish.

9. Fishing in the rain can be surprisingly productive, as the sound of the rain hitting the water can attract fish.

10. Some fish species are attracted to specific types of structure, such as submerged logs, rocks, or underwater plants, and fishing near these structures can increase the chances of success.

By keeping these tips in mind, anglers can improve their chances of having a successful and enjoyable fishing trip.
