Fishing Tips:
| The best fishing advice is to examine the fishing conditions, ask for guidance from anglers familiar with the waters you are fishing, and, finally, to try many different lures and fishing techniques until you discover what works most effectively for the fish you are trying to angle. Of course the real reason why we all enjoy fishing is the fun and camaraderie we experience with our friends and family. Some of the best fishing stories have nothing to do with how many fish were caught or what bait or technique was used.______________________________________________________________________
