Whenever we want to take up a new hobby, we must consider a series of factors that make it possible. In this case, if you want to take your first steps into the world of fishing, we’ll need to learn everything about this world: equipment, locations, species… But it will also be essential to understand other natural factors to ensure an excellent experience.
- Atmospheric pressure: if the day you’ve chosen for fishing sees a sudden change, whether rising or falling, we could face a serious problem, as fish are highly sensitive to such changes, and we might encounter fewer than expected.
- Temperature: the lower it is, the more active the fish will be. Wondering why? They’re cold-blooded animals.
- Wind: this weather phenomenon can affect fish, causing them to dive deeper to avoid currents and feel more comfortable.
- Choice of location: be careful with this, as if it’s a highly accessible spot, it might be overfished, and you may not land big catches.
- Environment: since we can fish in reservoirs, rivers, and the sea, the underwater activity will vary depending on where we choose.
- Time of year: depending on the season you choose to go fishing, there will be more or fewer fish. For example, trout are more abundant in summer.
- Time of day: you must consider regulatory restrictions, but the usual practice is to fish between one hour before sunrise and one hour after sunset.
Sport fishing can provide highly rewarding moments, but you’ll always need to consider everything around it if you want the best results. After all… if you’re going fishing, you might as well bring home the finest catches, right?
