The Sport of Fishing

A day out on the water or a day out doing some shore fishing. Sounds great!! I think anyone would rather be out on a beautiful day rather than at work, or on the clock, as some would call it. Whether you have a boat or not, it is all about good fun. Some people say just being around a body of water has therapeutic effects.

The choices for bait are just as varied and exciting as snacks in a grocery store. Baits for fishing vary. the choices are live bait, plastic or artificial, and hard-bait. Then, there is hook size; small or large hooks that have many styles such as treble hooks, circle, j-shank, double action, and so forth. The weight of your lure is measured in increments of ounces if you want a heavier or lighter lure. The different colors of lures are endless, and the size of the live bait or what kind of live bait they have in-store depends on
