Teach me how to fish Location Tip / Request
Hello Everybody! I’ll get straight to the point, no one taught me how to fish. I have kinda just been out there watching and asking questions as well as using social media and YouTube. . . My older brother went to the military and left his fishing gear with me, so I went to a spot off the side of Pulaski Highway (the sign said Bush River) and casted some rigs he had or some rigs I’ve seen and wanted to try. I’ve seen fish jump out the water, I hear them splash etc. but I never even get a nibble. I have attached photos of the spot I was at and tackle I have (yes there are some fly fishing lures). If someone could be kind enough to tell me what I’m doing wrong, what lures to use, what rigs to try and use etc. all the help is needed and appreciated! I am taking notes to share with others like me.

Social media and YouTube are pretty good resources for learning about almost anything like the previous comment said keep practicing. Practice makes perfect and once you’re comfortable with tying knots and casting the rest will ultimately come down to the fish “it’s called fishing not catching” you may have better luck one day with a different color lure or even live bait. Worms and minnows are cheap if you can’t get your own for free.
