The weather has been warming up which means the fish are beginning to emerge from their winter habitat. These spring fishing tips can help you be better prepared to catch more fish this season.
1. Fish in warmer waters. Warmer waters will attract more fish during the springtime. Fishing in a warm, shallow, sunny area makes for an ideal spring fishing spot.
2. Aim for the afternoon. Along with warm waters, you need warmer weather. During the spring, it's best to go fishing during the afternoon when the weather is the warmest. This also gives the sun enough time to warm up the waters.
3. Downsize your baits. Keep in mind that the fish in the spring are not as aggressive as the fish in the summer. No matter what species you are fishing for, smaller baits that are used slowly can help you get a bite more often during the springtime.
4. Wait longer to set the hook. Don't forget that fish are slower to bite in the springtime. When you feel a bite, don't immediately set the hook. Wait a few seconds longer than you normally would before setting your hook.
