Fishing Tips

It is safe to say that when it comes to angling, the number of fishing tips and techniques roughly equals the combined number of anglers, species and individual bodies of water.
Fishing tips and techniques are easy to come by–finding fishing tips that work may be a little more difficult. This doesn't have so much to do with the tip-giver, as it does the finicky, fickle nature of fish added to the seemingly infinite number of variables that affect their behavior. There is an adage that, when it comes to fishing, the fisher has more variables she has no control over than she has control of and, more often then not, the only variable she has in hand, is her tackle.
Moreover, fishing tips can be very specific. Some fishing tips apply to a specific species, location, season, and so on. Sometimes, tips are style specific. For example, techniques for bait-casting or spin-casting a particular location for a particular species is completely different than for a fly fisher. Sometimes a tip may work one day or the next or never again.
So in place of "fishing tips," the offer here is sage-like advice, garnered from a host of experienced fishers, regardless of style, quarry or location–a more prudent offer of thoughts for the angler to consider.
When it comes to buying gear–tackle such as lures, hooks and line, as well as rods and reels–the most expensive does not necessarily correlate to the best or highest yielding equipment. Contrarily, the cheapest is not necessarily the best either. There is a plenitude of websites, magazines and other sources offering product reviews and advice. When stocking up on fishing equipment, high-end or low-end, make sure to do your research.
Especially for a novice fisherman, an overstocked tackle box is not the best stocked tackle box. Buy a few lures, a basic assortment, and learn to fish them with confidence. Trial and error is the best method for finding out what works and what doesn't. Consider your preferred style of fishing when picking lures. Some lures are easier to fish than others, while other lures require a specific method or technique.
Fish are fickle creatures and regularly defy fishing tips. Variables such as season, water temperatures, environment and sun (sometimes even moon) exposure all play a role in the activity levels and behavior of a fish. Fish spawn at different times of the year, and thus, populations can change. Moreover, fish location can change. For instance, spawning fish, depending on species, may move to outlier shallows. Also remember that the prey of some species also changes. For example, fish may be looking for different insects at different points of the lifecycle depending on the season.
Another variable to consider is water temperature. Not necessarily reflective of the season, the temperature of the water is related to the oxygen concentrations of water. Specifically, warmer water is more oxygen rich. In most cases, fish tend to more oxygen rich water, usually near the shores or surface of a body of water.
Environment is another consideration. Depending on variables such as water temperature and season, fish tend to certain locations. Some fish prefer to spawn in shallower waters and thus can be found in shallows for parts of the year. In the case of rivers, some fish prefer faster waters to slower waters (or the calms of pools within a river).
The best advice one can offer is to know your prey, their predilections and preferences. Know your tackle and gear with confidence. Most important of all, don't fear trial and error–fishing is a game of patience and waiting.
In terms of location specific advice, the best can be had by the anglers that fish a specific location. Consider joining a local fishing club or hob knob with anglers at the local bait and tackle. Alternatively, consider joining a local fishing community chat room online. Always remember, fishermen are always willing to offer fishing tips and advice on techniques.
