What fishing tips can you give to a beginner fisher.....?
Cheers.....I caught my first fish the other day......a brim...with CHESSE as bait...What fishing tips can you give to a beginner fisher.....?
Whatever you do, never lose the enjoyment that fishing can provide. Don't get caught up in needing to always catch the biggest or the most fish...it takes away from the pleasure and has a tendency to annoy other people. A friendly contest, agreed upon by a group of friends can be a hoot, just don't let the competitive side rule your actions. Always great to see new people getting into an activity that has brought me uncountable hours of relaxation and enjoyment my entire life.What fishing tips can you give to a beginner fisher.....?
To beggin fishing iw ould recommend the website angel fire, and search for fishing as it will give you tips on all types of fishing.
How about some homemade bait for fishing. You will need the following ingredients, water, bread, flour, garlic powder, tuna, and oil. What you do is very simply mix all of these ingredients together and then roll them into little balls.
The most important thing you can do to learn about ANYTHING is read a book.
Pick the fish you want to catch %26amp; I guarantee there is at least 5 books written about catching them.
Good luck %26amp; Good reading!
UPDATE: If you are totally NEW to the sport of angling, all forms of INFO, will be paramount in whether you catch a ';couple'; or ';alot';.
Most important info? Info on knots. Info on rigging baits. Info on your favorite lake/pond/river/Etc. Info on WHEN best to go. Info on larvae %26amp; bug hatches. Info on the correct tackle and rods/reels to use. Etc, ETC.
Patience is vital. But if your sitting on a stream bank fishing for Brim with a baitcaster that has 15 LB line, a Heavy action rod, using cheese as bait, your ODDS on catching your limit is slim to none. You could have all the patience in the World, but if you don't have the correct ';tools'; and ';info'; for the job eventually you will ';lose interest'; because ya ain't catch'N nothing!
pay attention every time you go out, ask as many questions of other anglers as you can....no matter how stupid or mundane it might seem
Learn as much as you can about the target fish as you can. What they eat, where they go every day and seasonally, when they spawn etc.
learn more than one method of fishing! It's nice to master just one, but you are going to limit yourself if you do not learn multiple methods of fishing, even for the same species.
That said, a sucker and his money are easily parted, so don't fork over your hard earned money untill you do some research. Ask around, read consumer reports etc.
One cool and easy experiment....try to fish a local body of water from the first day of the season to the last. Fish in the heat and the rain. try to fish it at least once a week, even if only for an hour. If your busy, make it an hour before work. This experiment will give you a wonderfull perspective on the seasonal differences of location, effects of light, food etc of your water. You can extrapolate the basics of this to almost any other water you'll fish. If you can I highly highlt recomend this!
I agree with what Steve S posted.
Patience is the number one thing to learn if your going to get into fishing.
Working as a Captain on a head boat and a private fishing guide, Ive seen countless people who won't get a bite for 5min and ask to go try another spot, or they just set their rod in the holder and go do something else.
Fishing is not always going to be drop the hook in the water and there's a fish, Patience pays off, although days where as soon as the hook hits the water and you have a fish do happen every so often, don't expect it to always be the same.
Being an old school River Rat who enjoys cat fishing, I can't help to think back what my grandpa and dad always told me....be patient!
Throughout the years you will have trial and errors in fishing. With every error, learn from it. Remember what works good for one person does not always work for the next. Find your passion for the sport by your own enjoyment. Don't be afraid to try new things, sometimes those off the wall ideas work!
Myself, I am always trying to catch that bigger fish. But you must learn to catch the fish first before you can think big.
There is many ways to learn about the type of fish your going after. Videos, tv programs, books and internet. There is much to take in. Types of rods and reels, lines, riggings, bait and presentation. Know where you are going and the enviorment.
Best advise I can give is to get out there on the water and get your line wet. Good luck and Best Wishes!
As AIR FLOW mentioned, anglefire has great information on fundamentals of fishin'. Go through site and it'll give ya' a lot of answers for the unanswered questions one might have, plus a lot more. Am sure it will help and ';Fish On';, to ya:)...

I will tell you that practice will only make you a better fisherman. Learn a few fish line tying knots and proper ways to bait your hooks. Ask your local fisherman all you can without annoying them. And of all things to learn is Patience. I like when I see clients loosing their patience while jigging for Hali. Usually after 30 min. with no hit their eating a sandwich in one hand and one of my rigs in the other when a strike hits.Sometimes they are lucky not to loose the whole rig in the ocean. 40yr exp Pacific Northwest guide
The only real thing I will throw at ya is dont be afraid to try new things. Also dont be afraid of asking other people out fishing what they are using or their techniques. Different areas require different lures/bait. And there isnt an angler out there that doesnt feel good after offering advice to a person new to the sport! Good luck and good fishing!!
I agree with Stop_makin_cents you can't ever read too many books. ;)
Congrats on your first fish...There are so many ways to fish that it's hard to choose what to tell you. So I'll just give you 2 pointers for now.
Bigger baits on bigger hooks catch bigger fish. But not always. Sometimes a little nibblet of corn or a dough ball on a tiny hook will catch a big fish too.
And
Keep your tackle box dry.
When we go fishing we usually use pieces of a hot dog weine or ham, and we catch fish.
Remember that the sport is called ';fishing'; and not ';catching';. Go out and enjoy the time away from ';real life';. Do not ever let a day without catching a fish diminish the enjoyment of fishing. The day may be even better spending it with a parent, sibling, or friend. Have fun!!!
use a pole not your hands. a burrito is probably not the number 1 choice of bait as fish have different taste than humans. sling your line out into the water and wait..... on land

Anybdy have favorite drills or techniques to teach beginner tennis?
I'm starting to teach tennis lessons for beginners, and I was wondering if anyone had a favorite game or technique that I could useAnybdy have favorite drills or techniques to teach beginner tennis?
Actually I do. Try practicing hitting the ball cross-court, it really helps for a beginner to get a feel on the court. Run around the tennis court a couple of times, dribbling the ball. Get someone to stand on your side of the net and throw you the ball at different speeds. You will get used to how to hit the ball in different situations. Also, try to get a hitting partner to serve the ball very close to the net on your side of the court. If you are on the baseline, it is a great drill to pick up speed. Don't slam your racket if you don't hit great at first. That is just for the greats(i.e. Turnisov, Sharapova, Agassi, Navratilova). I also give you this tip, extend your arm and slam on the ball. I hope this helps you out!!!Anybdy have favorite drills or techniques to teach beginner tennis?
Try to let them get the feel of the court, work on them with agility, cause thats mostly what tennis is about...So work on how they move, how fast they are, cause you have to know that to get the ball when the other person hits it on the other side...So teach them that and then teach them the other stuff, cause thats what i do with my students, and we have won 3 championships in a ROW!!!!
Every day i tell my high school students to be CONFIDENT%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;

My kids love to play Jail. I always use this as a reward at the end of the practice. Jail is when you have kids hit balls and when a ball is missed, they run to the other side of the court and are now ';in jail.'; The only way they can get out of jail is by catching a ball that is hit by another player. The last person on the court wins!
Another suggestion is simply having THEM feed a ball. They will get used to how to hit the appropriate stroke if they have to feed a ball and get it over the net. Sometimes they swing all wrong and when we are feeding, they don't quite understand what they are doing. Hope this helps!

Jail is when you have kids hit balls and when a ball is missed, they run to the other side of the court and are now ';in jail.'; The only way they can get out of jail is by catching a ball that is hit by another player. The last person on the court wins!
Another suggestion is simply having THEM feed a ball. They will get used to how to hit the appropriate stroke if they have to feed a ball and get it over the net. Sometimes they swing all wrong and when we are feeding, they don't quite understand what they are doing. Hope this helps!vegetable oil latex oil gas liquid cream
Actually I do. Try practicing hitting the ball cross-court, it really helps for a beginner to get a feel on the court. Run around the tennis court a couple of times, dribbling the ball. Get someone to stand on your side of the net and throw you the ball at different speeds. You will get used to how to hit the ball in different situations. Also, try to get a hitting partner to serve the ball very close to the net on your side of the court. If you are on the baseline, it is a great drill to pick up speed. Don't slam your racket if you don't hit great at first. That is just for the greats(i.e. Turnisov, Sharapova, Agassi, Navratilova). I also give you this tip, extend your arm and slam on the ball. I hope this helps you out!!!Anybdy have favorite drills or techniques to teach beginner tennis?
Try to let them get the feel of the court, work on them with agility, cause thats mostly what tennis is about...So work on how they move, how fast they are, cause you have to know that to get the ball when the other person hits it on the other side...So teach them that and then teach them the other stuff, cause thats what i do with my students, and we have won 3 championships in a ROW!!!!
Every day i tell my high school students to be CONFIDENT%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;

What would be a good rifle for a beginner, that also has little kick?
I started on a Marlin bolt-action .22 and that is what I would reccomend so you can get used to holding a gun correctly. I'll add that every shot with a .22 you are only throwing away a penny and that it's a gun that doesn't have a big bang. I will caution you that if you have a gun with some kick and you shoot it in a in-correct way your shoulder will be sore to say the least. If you must have a kick then I would listen to some of these people here because I don't know a lot about guns that have the kick your looking for.
The only guns I have shot that has a kick (as far as rifles go) is a 30-06 which does not have that bad of a kick but enough to make your shoulder sore if you don't skeet shoot often!
Your best bet would be a bolt-action .22 Why bolt action? Because when my Dad taught me he said that I have to learn on a bolt action so I A. learn to take a good clean shot and B. So I don't think ';oh well if I miss I can just empty my clip with out aiming by squeezing the rounds out and maybe just maybe I'll hit it';. In translation for B., so I don't get trigger happy.
A bolt action .22 is a neccecity for a beginner.What would be a good rifle for a beginner, that also has little kick?
The .22LR is the best beginner rifle. It has no kick and the ammo is dirt cheap. I suggest a Ruger 10/22 which has many after market accessories, including 25 and 30 round clips, after market stocks, etc. You can pick one up for about $175.
The .22 is appropriate for small game, rabbits, squirrel, and a lot of fun to target shoot.
If you want an beginner deer rifle, the .30-30 lever action is a good option. It doesn't have much kick and Remington makes ';managed recoil'; loads which kick even less.
Again, the .22LR is a great beginner rifle and target shooter. Definitely go with the semi-autoWhat would be a good rifle for a beginner, that also has little kick?
I would get a nice bolt action .22lr easy to lean how to use the bolt and cheep ammo . than move up
My frist gun was a surplus 8mm mauser.
Good answer “Dave Grohl Wanna Be”
He just gave you your answer with sound reasoning.
Just 14 years old and showing good common sense.
That my opinion.

.22 is a perfect beginner rifle, however they have a short range and no kick.
There is a whole host of smaller (.2xx calibers) rifles that will be fine, but check ammo prices. It's better to practice and shoot a lot and if ammo is $1 or more per round....well, you know where that leads.
Look at a Ruger #1 Varmint rifle in .204Ruger caliber. hot varmit gun!
One thing about guns...if you get something common that's not ';oddball'; any dealer will let you trade it in towards a new different firearm, or you can sell them yourself quite easily. If you don't like it or grow tired of it, you will not lose more than 20-25% of your paying price max. Some even appreciate in value quite well.
I'm happy to see that you are not letting your physical challenges stop you from getting out and enjoying a good shoot! Happy hunting mi amigo.....
Long Bolt-action - .25-06, .270 Win
Short Bolt-action - .243, .270 WSM
All very sufficient at under 100 yards.
a 22 hornet ,long range, great varmit round ,fun to shoot. also it has very little recoil. just enough to notice. you wont have any problems with recoil also you can get ammo at wal-mart [tenn]
If all you're going to do is shoot paper and varmints, then the .22 Long Rifle of your choice is the answer. If you are going to shoot varmint at longer distances, say up to a 100 yard, consider the .22 Magnum or even the .17 HMR, but be prepared to pay more for the ammo.
Good luck.

This is me, Archangel4316, I can't answer to my own question, so hear goes.....I'll be using the rifle for practice at the range and for varmint hunting. My balance is very bad cause I have cerebral palsy and I'm a Cancer Survivor, so I need a rifle that has very little kick.
a ruger 10/22 thats what my 10 year old daughter uses
I started with a .243. My eldest son (10 yrs old) now uses the very same .243. Next to no recoil and a fast moving projectile. Keep in mind- less recoil puts a little more of a factor on shot placement. I hope my experience helps you.
Nice bolt action rifle like Ruger or Remington in .223
start with a .22 and work up. if you want to try to go after some deer than a .223 or .243 the 25'06 isnt bad either .or a 22-250. these all have fairly little kick. the .22 has the least amount if any at all.
A .223 or .243 or 22-250 is for you.
I can't believe people are recommending a 30-06 or 308. Those are big time, full size adult male rifles with adult sized kicks.
I was originally thinking a .22 until I read your post about what you want to use it for.
I wish you the best of luck in your pursuit of a new hobby!
i would go with a .223 ruger
A .243 is great gun. It is the smallest calliber you can legally shoot a deer with so it doesn't kick much. For smaller game at close ranges you can't hardly beat a 22 LR. It doesn't have any kick at all and can be really cheap.
A 30-30 winchester has little kick in compareson to other deer rifles. If you buy a model94 you will not be putting a scope on it however a model98 MARLIN will mount a scope...If you shoot left handed though this will cause you some problems as the shells are ejected up on the first gun and to the right(in your right neck,armpit,cheek,etc)on the second gun. both are lever action rifles relatively cheap to buy and buy ammo for. Of all the 30 cal. guns(306, 308brit,308spring,300win,300win mag etc)they have the least KICK.
A 17 hmr is a inexpensive caliber to target practice and still enough power to take down predators at 100 yards.
get a 22 rifle. nice little gun. will shoot as far as you want to travel to retrieve your kill. you will love it. guaranteed
For plinking and short-range varmint hunting against small animals like squirrel, prarie dog, and cottontail rabbits, nothing beats the .22LR. The .22LR is chambered in virtually every rifle action ever devised, from bolt actions, break-opens, leverguns, and semi-autos. And there's no recoil to speak of in a .22LR, even in a polymer or fiberglass-stocked gun. The .22LR will offer a flat enough trajectory for shots against varmints out to 90 - 100 yards with a scoped rifle zeroed in at fifty yards.
Going up a little in power, you have the .22WMR (Winchester Magnum Rimfire,) which has a point-blank range of 125 yards from a scoped rifle zeroed in at 100 yards. The .22 Magnum has also been chambered in a wide variety of actions. It will kick more than a .22LR, but this kick, compared to virtually any centerfire cartridge, is insignificant. Rimfire rifles also tend to be lighter and handier than many varmint-class centerfires.
If you'd prefer a centerfire for plinking and varminting, many positive things can be said about the .223 Remington. There are good bolt-actions chambered for the cartridge, and New England Firearms/H%26amp;R chamber their excellent, quick-handling Handi-Rifle in the cartridge as well. In semi-automatic there is the excellent Ruger Mini-14 Ranch Rifle, or some expensive, but accurate. AR-15 variant. (Though, in my opinion, the Ruger would be a better varmint gun than an AR-15.) And, owing to the enormous popularity of AR-15 rifles, .223 Remington is, for a centerfire rifle cartridge, cheap and plentiful, making it an excellent plinking/target-practice cartridge. The recoil in .223 Remington is extremely light, relative to other centerfire rifle cartridges, but offers the sort of flat trajectory needed to reach out and touch furry varmints (up to coyote-sized) at 200 yards.
mike d is right .17HMR is the way to go. my 5 year old shoots one.
Well for varmit hunting I would recommend a rifle in 223, light recoil and cheap surplus ammo is availible since it is what the M-16 fires. Otherwise for pure practice a 22 rimfire. There is an abundance of weapons in various configurations, actions and barrel lengths for both. If you aspire to go deer hunting then I would get a 243, more expensive to shoot but is a good varmit and deer cartridge.
Hi,
For a real first timer probably a 22lr or 22wmr
If you want to go center fire, then try a .17, .22 hornet, or a .222rem or even a .223/5.56
Good shooting!

I started out with a .243 savage at the age of 12. but another good rifle would have to be a .270 with a 120 grain round. I graduated up to a remminton .270 pump action when i was 14 I love that rifle and still use it to this day 14 years later. I also sitll use my savage for plinking every now and then.
A .243 is a good begginner rifle
I'd never recommend anything but a .22 as a beginner rifle,in fact a bolt acion .22 is about he best beginner firearm out there.
Learn the basics first, then get into the more powerful stuff.
I agree with the 22 cal for no kick and cheap ammo. My kids learned with these and I still enjoy using a .22. They come in bolt action, lever action, semi auto., pump and single shot. AND if you want to bird hunt look for a 410 shotgun. Very mild kick, cheaper ammo and they will knock down a pheasant...I do it all the time with a 410.
Buy a .22. There are a million different ones on the market, many that are equally good. Ruger 10/22 is one of the best, highly modifiable as you learn more about it.
.22LR is the best calibre for a beginner beyond a doubt. It can be very accurate at reasonable ranges up to 150 meters or so. Plus the best thing is that it's so unbeliveably cheap compared to any other ammo out there. You can buy a brick or 500 .22 rounds for around 10 bucks. A smaller centerfire cartridge like .223 will cost you 10 bucks or more for 20 cartridges. .22 is low recoil, low cost, low noise, best choice for a beginner beyond a doubt.
Moving up from that a good bet is to get a rifle that is military surplus, mainly again because the ammo can be very cheap when you buy military surplus crates. Something like an AK or SKS varient in 7.62x39 is quite inexpensive.
it really depends on what you want to use it for, but without that info I would suggest a 30-06, it is one of the most popular rounds in America, all manufactures have models in this caliber, and rounds are available everywhere, and with the diversity in loads, and of course the accuracy of your marksmanship, you could use this load for target practice or you could hunt almost anything from coyotes to elk, and everything in between!!
a .44 magnum..they have a ';little'; kick, hehe..
a .50 caliber rifle. An elephant gun is a good choice, too.
