Our guides have a vast knowledge of so many different aspects of fishing, and sometimes, asking them one question just isn't enough. This month, we asked guides what their most underrated fishing tip is- answers were both varied and interesting. Read their responses below!
“Always put the odds in your favor! Reliable equipment, sharp hooks, fresh line, quality swivels, careful not tying... all of it matters.” -Captain Sean Gilles, Fish Addiction
“Set the hook with the rod instead of the reel.” -Captain Steve Hammack, Tejas Salt Fishing Adventures
“Patience.” -Captain Ross, Cape Cod Charter Guys
“Drop that rod tip!” -Captain Jacob Miller, No Limit Charter And Guide Service
“Weight and leader selection when fishing inshore. Most fishermen use way too much or heavy gear to fish for the species they want.” -Captain Mike Haynes, Fishbonz Charters LLC
“Just relying on a color or brand” -Captain Brad Bugica, Lake Tahoe Fishing
