fishing tips

There are so many tips and opinions on fishing that it’s tough to know where to start. But the big thing is to determine what kind of fish you want to catch. Most of the species you listed all have a different way of fishing for them with different baits. You can get lucky and catch a catfish on a spoon or crank bait but it’s not likely to happen a lot. Also figure out the water temperature and what depths the fish are spending most of their time. As the other person said, the hotter it gets the deeper the fish go. Once you figure out what to fish for and where the only thing left is the lure and bait selection. Asking for tips on that is like asking someone on this forum what their favorite pick up line is. One guy will have great success with one lure and his buddy won’t have any. Have fun and YouTube is a fantastic resource for fishing.
