There is a big problem in preserving freshwater fish populations. I think a problem with preserving natural freshwater fish populations is the lack of awareness. I do not see a lot of marketing for programs that help with freshwater fishing. I have to go out on my own to see anything about this problem. Most people will not do this unless it is put in their face. Saltwater fishing has made a huge awareness for population and promoting the growth of fish populations. There is even a documentary on Netflix called Seaspiracy. This is great for highlight problems in our oceans. However, there are more freshwater fish then saltwater fish. Even though there may be more freshwater fish, these species are dying out at an alarming rate. The bigger species, like catfish and others, are experiencing declining rates very rapidly. There needs to be more money going into these freshwater programs. These freshwater fish are a source of food f...
There are major differences when trying to catch catfish or bass. Everything changes, from your fishing pole, line, bait, and techniques that are used. Catfish To catch catfish, first you will start with your rod and reel. You will want a thick and strong pole that can with stand some weight on it. You will also want to get durable line.

I prefer using a treble hook, but you can use a traditional hook as well. For bait, liver or another kind of stink bait is the best thing to use when luring catfish in.

This is why you will need a bobber to hang your line down and wait on the fish to bite. Bass To catch bass, you will first want a lighter pole and reel. Most bass are not huge in weight...
I interviewed my friend, Stu Hott, about his trip to Percy Preist Lake outside of Nashville, Tennessee. He did a variety of techniques to catch different types of fish throughout the lake. Q: How long was your trip to Percy Preist Lake? A: I was on a five-day fishing expedition to Percy Preist. This allowed me to fish different techniques and try for an abundant of species. Alos, it gave me the opportunity to have more chances to get more fish even if a day or two was not as good. Q: What types of fishing did you do? A: I did three types of fishing while I was in Tennessee. I participated in open water, jugging, and bank fishing. Q: Which type of fishing did you have the most success with?
