Bertram, the biggest mistake you can make as a fisherman trying to catch fish, is to be a fair whether fisherman. If you only fish on beautiful days/evenings, you'll most likely have a hard time finding fish. I'm not saying you won't catch fish on beautiful days, it's just more difficult and less likely in our area. Now this doesn't meant you have to pick the worst possible weather either, but a bit of wind and rougher, coloured water does tend to get the fish on the bite. Of course there's also the option of fishing at night, although a bit of a dangerous venture - especially when fishing alone.
Another huge mistake is to merely buy some bait, put it on the hook and chuck it into the big ocean, expecting a fish to swim by and grab it! As an inexperienced fishermen, it's going to be fairly tough to succeed without the help of experienced hands showing you the way. Hopefully that's why you've joined Sealine and hopefully, in time, you will become more and more successful.
It's also important to realise that the ocean cannot sustain overexploitation. If you want to take from the sea, you should also give back. This means putting back the smaller fish, not catching more than your limit, cleaning up the rubbish and maybe even feeding the fish (lets call it chumming) if you want your future fishing experiences to be fruitful.
We could tell you to go to a specific place with a specific rig, use the best bait for the intended species and cast in an exact place when conditions are right, but you won't learn that much out of one or two such experiences. Much better would be if we could teach you how to learn from your experiences, and use the information available on Sealine and elsewhere to assist you. This way you will stand a better chance of catching a fish in different venues, without the need for an experienced hand forever showing you the way.
Saying that, I must also highlight that local knowledge is the key to consistent success. Unless you have unlimited time on your hands to figure out what works where, you're going to have to do some research and learn from locals. Don't always believe everything fishermen tell you though! In fact, I make a habbit of questioning anything a fisherman tells me... especially those working in tackle shops!
So, if you want help, please start by telling us a bit about your recent fishing outings.
* Which areas you tend to fish?
* When do you usually fish?
* What equipment do you have available?
* What were you targeting and which bait(s) did you use?
* Were other people catching fish while you were there?
Hopefully we can point out some flaws and make recommendations, but perhaps you're doing most of it right and just need to be at right place at the right time.
For interest sake: would you consider paying a fishing guide to show you the way?
