Melli's Fishing Tips

Hi, I am Melli and I love to fish at Aunt Becky's Cottage.  This summer, I caught so many fish that I won this trophy.  I just kept wheeling them in, one right after the other.  Mostly I caught bluegills and sunshines (sunfish).  There are a lot of fish you can catch right off the dock.  I even caught a big bass last summer. It was my first fish.  I think I'm gonna catch another one this year.

Have fun fishing.  Here are some of my tips on the best ways to catch fish:

We mostly fish with worms on a hook, with a bobber on top.  When the bobber jiggles, a fish is biting and when it goes down, you have to jerk a little and then wheel it in. 

Always be patient and wait for the fish to bite.  If they don't bite in 10 minutes, cast out again.

Always try your best when you are fishing. 

Always use night crawlers because they are good and Aunt Becky thinks worms, like red wigglers, are good, too.

Sometimes you can use plastic frogs baits to catch bigger fish.

To catch other fish, you need a lot of experience, like I have.

You can try going out on a boat or fishing from the dock.

If you run out of worms, you can fish with corn.

If you want to talk about fishing and share your fishing tips, please email me.

Here I am, waiting for another fish to bite.	This is my brother, Andrew. He likes to fish, too.
Kelli caught a lot of sunshines.  This is one of them.	This is Keegan fishing off the boat.  He caught a bunch of fish too.  He snagged a couple, but most of them bit on a worm.
