The Early Bird Catches the Worm
The best time to fish is known to be an hour before sunrise and a few hours after. Most successful anglers know this. Personally, I always stop at first light and that puts me in a good position. Once the breakfast spell is over, you can always fall asleep and go back to lost sleep.
Research
Lakes are usually huge places and often the lake has different species of fish and different environments. Buy a map of the lake you want to visit and fish or get it online. Mark on the map the good fishing spots that you identified during the investigation, then you can easily find them. Special areas to search are streams, structures, and any information found on the Internet during the investigation.
Technology
Use fishing technology, such as fish and depth gauges, to find out how these tools work before coming to the lake to learn how to use them. Don't waste your precious fishing time trying to figure out how fishing works when you reach your destination. Take different sticks, as the situation can change quickly, and if you have a lot of twigs, you will be in a good position to replace bait and prey quickly.
Summertime
In summer, the water temperature rises in the shallower places, forcing the fish to seek cooler and deeper waters. On hot summer days, you will find fish in deeper places. Keep this in mind and make sure you have baits and tools to handle the different depths you need to fish.
Dam Wall and Wind
The deep water in the dam wall is a good place to fish because the water is deep and cool, as well as there is a lot of fish food in the area due to the water flowing out. Always be aware of the direction of the wind when carrying insects and other food sources to this or that shore. Fish follow this food source. Always stay in the wind.
Underwater Structures
Always know where the underwater structures are and the fish near them, because fish love these places and flock there because it makes them feel protected and safe. If you fish all day without fishing, it means you are not fishing in the right places. Lakes are large areas where habitats change. Now is the time to experiment with baits, baits, and equipment to expand your fishing knowledge.
