How to Catch More Fish - Who Needs Fishing Reports!

If you are reading this article for the sole reason of catching more fish to impress your friends and feed your family, then you are in the right place. Early on we learned how to catch fish, we didn't have fishing guides, fancy fishing rods or any or your fancy fishing lures. In fact we didn't even have a decent fishing pole.

But we caught fish almost every time we went fishing which was mostly everyday. After a while we seemed to find certain patterns that remain productive for us even today. You might say that when we were kids we were competitive and we would compete to see who would catch the most fish and who would clean then.

The one who caught the least amount of fish of course had to clean them for dinner. So we had a vested interested in catching the most fish. Freshwater fishing was our specialty but with a bit of modification and know how the methods can be adapted to salt water fishing also. First off of course the weather plays an important factor in your fishing efforts, we happened to have a barometer on our wall. It didn't have numbers on it but it did indicate when storms were likely. Meaning a drop in the barometric pressure for us said the fish would be hungry. Grandpa always told us it was because the fish had less pressure on their stomachs. So they wanted to eat. He told us lots of things ,but we all know how to catch fish. I am pretty sure we learned it from him.
