Summer 2024 is in full swing, and we are so ready to start all of the summer activities. Boating, grilling, catching some rays, and one more thing. Fishing. Want to be a fisherman? Who doesn’t want to go fishing? Let’s be honest, the look of chilling by the water and catching a big one seems pretty simple. All you have to do is find a body of water and a good pole. So how do you get started?
Location & Weather

Finding your fishing spot and a good day to fish is the first step in this process. There are a lot of good places to fish all depending upon your location. You can fish at a river, pond, lake, stream, creek, or ocean, if there’s water there is a chance fish are nearby.
Believe it or not, the weather can make or break your fishing experience. An 80-degree sunny day seems perfect for fish, but if you are hot, so are the fish. Think of it this way, after a long day at the beach your belly usually is not too hungry. That’s how fish are too. The best weather to fish in is cloudy. Fish are looking for food more than they do on bright days. Light rain is also great to fish in because insects and live bait get washed into the water causing the fish to come up.
