The fish is biting today. Yesterday I caught a great onel A trophy-size fish. First the fish tugged at the bait, but didn't catch on it, and got away. Then I reeled in the line, and that was that.
I have an angler's fishing tackle: rod, line with float, sink, hook with leader. I like deep-sea fishing, and also winter hole fishing, when you make a hole in the ice (using a crowbar or breast drill) and using a short rod you sink a spoon bait to the bottom, bouncing it on the bottom to attract fish, which come up for air and up into the pouch.
I also do wet fly fishing and dry trout fishing. You need to cast the fly as far as possible. It is best to cast downwind. You cast the fly with a reel brake and then pull at the line with a sharp tug, imitating a live lure, and the fish strikes the bait. The hood must sit well or the fish will get away. When the fish strikes you want to pull sharply to sink the hook, or the fish will get away.

Salt-water fishing includes fishing from an anchored boat by bouncing the bait off the bottom for flounder, sole, and all bottom-lying fish.
Fishing from a moving boat trolling is fun. There the tackle includes an umbrella secured to the end of a line, which is in the form of an umbrella carcass, with artificial lures secured to the ends and the middle of the spokes. In the water the umbrella with a dozen or so lures, trolled along or

pulled by slow moving boat, looks to the fish like a school of small fry, and they strike voraciously. I like marlin, sailfish, swordfish, tarpon, trout, sturgeon, and pike; I catch fresh-water and salt-water fish. I have lobster pots (traps) and fishing nets; you catch the fish in the net's central sleeve. I buy my fishing tackle and plastic worms in a boit shop near a marina. They have everything bait (artificial, live and dead), and fish hooks.
