New angler from Waldon needing some basic fishing tips please. When I was younger I went fishing a lot and catching fish now is something I’ll take more serious. As mentioned I am new to fishing again and have not spent a whole lot of money on a fishing rod and reel and just use a Wal-Mart special a shakespeare with a 6 lbs line. I have caught one fish recently but upon visiting a very popular fishing spot, I found that I was the ONLY person not catching a fish.

My boyfriend and I use basic baits 9worms but I am sure that isn’t working since I actually watched several fish pass it by once looking at it. They weren’t even interested. So anyone have any advice? I mean basic advice. I have looked online but I don’t see anything basic enough to explain what I am doing wrong. Is there a special bait to use? Is there a special way to cast? What can I do to catch Rainbow Trout?

Thanks,

Tiff

I am just getting tired of hauling my fishing gear making multiple trips to carry gear to some of my favorite fishing spots? I also feel I might be missing some great trout fishing areas due to having to lug gear and fishing equipment to prime hard to find/great spots. Would an all in one cart be a good idea to carry your gear?… and looking for suggestions. Finally, I am not as young as I use to be and worried about slipping/falling when hauling gear in remote locations to fish.

Ideas?
