Sometimes Catching Fish Isn't About Your Fishing Method

Many anglers don't realize that sometimes catching fish isn't about your fishing method, it's about something completely different. I don't care if you're a bait angler, fly fisherman, bank fisherman, prefer trolling, or are a bass fisherman chasing fish around lakes in a modified speed boat, sometimes catching fish isn't about the method you use or the way in which you get to the fish themselves. You might prefer wading, floating, canoeing, kayaking, walking along the bank, or a modified speed boat to get to the fish, the bottom line is that the forces of nature have as much to do with fishing as anything else.

That's right the forces of nature, specifically the weather and the moon, have as much to do with you catching fish as any method that you may be using. Have you ever seen the cows in a field all huddled together, rather than spread apart doing what cows do? Or been in the woods and noticed that it's eerily quiet? Both of these things have to do with pressure changes in the atmosphere, which is what causes weather. And these pressure changes effect fish as well as animals.

What about the moon? We all see it at night (or at least on many nights) right? But were you aware of the effect it has on fishing. Many people make a big deal about a full moon because people act weird, but I make a big deal about a full moon because of what it means to the fishing. And what about a new moon? Are you even aware of what a new moon means to fishing? The moon not only influences the tides in the ocean, it also influences the fish in all water. You should make yourself aware of how.

The great thing is that none of this information is hard to came by and is readily available to all of us. You don't have to be a meteorologist to understand how the weather and moon impact fishing, you just have to be willing to do a little research. That it. A great place to get the ball rolling is to get a free report such as this. Or you can simply search the internet for the weather, the moon, and fishing and you'll get all the information that you can handle.

The bottom line is that if you've ever had one of those epic days fishing, a day that you could do know wrong, when it seemed like the fish were just biting like crazy, it was probably due to the weather and/or moon. Why not try to recreate this situation more often by learning about how the weather and moon really effect fishing. I promise you, this type of situation happens a couple of times a month and you can be fishing when it occurs. Why not fish when the fish are the most active? That's when you'll have the most success.
