5 tips for better fishing for beginners
Share
1. Fish along edges and structure
Fish are rarely found in the middle of nowhere. Look for places like:
- kelp belts
- rocks and reefs
- edges in Put & Take lakes
Here the fish often hide and hunt for food.
2. Vary your spinning
Many fishermen just spin at the same pace all the time.
Try instead:
- short breaks
- small jerks with the rod
- change in tempo
This can make the bait (flash or other) look like an injured fish, and this often triggers bites.
3. Try different colors
If the fish are not biting, the color may be the problem.
A good rule of thumb:
- clear water → natural colors (silver, green)
- cloudy water → strong colors (orange, copper)
Sometimes a color works really well one day, while it doesn't work at all the next. Therefore, it's a good idea to change the color or shades every 15-20 minutes if you don't get any breakouts.
4. Fish at the right times
Fish are often most active when the light is low.
The best times are often:
- early morning
- late evening
- cloudy days
5. Cover more water
The more casts you make in different places, the better chance you have of finding the fish.
If nothing happens after 10-15 minutes , it can often be worth moving around a bit.
You can systematically fish out an area by:
- throw straight out
- throw diagonally to both sides
- move a little and repeat the process
🎣 Fishing is not just about equipment – it's also about technique and patience. With these simple tips, you can increase your chances of a good day on the water.
In our starter set you will find both spinners and lures from 5–25 g in colors such as gold, silver, green and flashy colors such as orange and pink - so you are well covered for both Put & Take and coastal fishing.
