Fighting A Fish Technique

One of the more common methods of catching king salmon is drift fishing. The main concept is drifting a weight bumping along the bottom, followed by a section of leader with your terminal tackle. Keeping the lead tapping on the bottom every few feet of drift will let you know your hook is always floating in the fish zone. The other advantage of the drift fishing technique is that you know exactly how each drift feels and when it changes ever so slightly, you know that a fish likely has taken the hook.

Best Time To Fishing

Experienced anglers will tell you that there ARE "best" times to fish. These "best times" can be related to the amount of sunlight, to warming trends, to depth at which fish are found, to storm and weather patterns, to wind, and to tidal flows when saltwater fishing. Thus, WHEN to fish can also affect and be affected by WHERE to fish. Too many hot days during the summer can adversely affect fishing in shallow lakes, ponds, and rivers since the higher water temperatures can reduce oxygen in the water and cause fish to become sluggish.
