When you’re casting a line, always look around before you throw to see if there are people behind you or in front of you – you don’t want to hit them, and it’s all too easy to get careless. If you’re using a worm as bait, make sure to put it through the hook twice, so it doesn’t go flying off the line.
Be patient if you’re using floating lures – it can take a long time, but often fish will be lying in wait, biding their time before they catch their prey. When a fish bites, make sure to reel it in a little, then let it out a little, and then the same again. Slow progress is the key, otherwise the line may break. Work with the fish and it won’t struggle. The bigger the fish that you’ve got hooked, the more important this is – patience is a very big part of fishing even once the fish is on the line.
Once you’ve caught a fish, don’t leave it to lie around and suffocate slowly – that’s cruel. Instead, twist its neck or slam it on the ground to kill it quickly and humanely. If the fish is really small, put it straight back, as there’s no point in killing it or causing it any more suffering when it’s no good to you anyway.
