Fishing Tips

Granted, some of these are pretty basic tips. But you'd be suprised at how many of us could use a little refresher on basic knots, how to rig a plastic worm texas style or carolina style, or who might need a bit of refresher on proper fly casting techniques.

We won't tell you about a bunch of stuff we just read somewhere else. These are tips from our own experiences. You know, there are not people out there who were born with instinctive knowledge of these skills and techniques. Some way they had to learn them. Don't be afraid to let a more experienced fisherman know if there's something you don't understand. One way you can do that is jump on our Family-Outdoor Forum. As we get it off the ground, we will jump in with an answer if we know it.

As it will become apparent as you browse the fishing tips material, a lot of the information is oriented to Missouri fishing. However, there is a ton of information that is just good general fishing knowledge, or good tips for other regions. The tips here truthfully reflect the kind of fishing we like to do.

One of the better places to get good hunting or fishing information is on fishing and hunting forums. If you are looking for general knowledge advice (as opposed to region-specific), one good fishing and hunting forum is at HuntandFishFinders.com.

We have organized the information here into trout fishing tips, bass fishing tips (largemouth bass and bronzebacks), as well as tips that fit into a miscellaneous fishing tips category. Whether you need information on how to tie a fishing knot, how to approach trout fishing when the weather turns cold, or how to approach catching bass when the heat turns brutal, we have something for you. Keep checking back as we expand the information we have.
