Lake fishing tips

Determine the types of fish found in the lake, this will help you decide the type of bait to use. Patience is most important. Fish are unpredictable, it is impossible to know when or what fish will be feeding on at any given point in time. Big fish are normally found at the bottom, close to the mud, medium sized fish (Pearl Spot) in the middle and small fish close to the surface of the water. The bait for big fish should be hooked in such a way that it reaches the very bottom of the water.
Expensive rods are not advised for fishing in small ponds, but can be used for deeper lakes. Cheap rods are available locally. Switching between live bait and various artificial baits will only increase your chances of attracting fish. Alternate between top water baits, spinner baits, plastic worms or live baits like minnows or worms until you find one that works. Don;t stay in the same place too long, if you don't catch anything or get any bites after a few casts, then move on to another spot.The more area you cover the better your chances of a catch. Do speak to the resort manager if you require basic fishing gear.
