Some tips I learned over the years while fishing.
- Always wet your hands before taking the fish out of the water. Someone told me this will not kill the fish as fast, but the main reason is so that you will not have that sticky stuff on your hands when you do.
- When you tie some fish to your fish stringer, make sure you check on them once and a while because snapping turtles can start eating on them.
- When you catch a fish, bleed it out by cutting the vein to their gills. Although I have always took the fish right home and never tried this, I heard your supposed to do this.
- If you run out of bait, you can use fish eyes, I know this sounds gross, but it does work. If you catch one fish and have no more bait, you have double the amount from the last fish!
- Check your line before you start fishing because a lot of times if it has been sitting around for awhile it will become brittle.
- Always clean up after yourself, especially if you lose a hook on the bank. You wouldn't want someone to step on it in a post teotwawki situation and get gangreen from the rusty hook!
