Having a hard time with your fishing game? Jealous of other fishermen who seem to get their rewards left and right, even up and down? No worries. Let’s get that game on.
Here are three tested and proven fishing tips from experts who have made it big in the field of professional fishing. These fishing tips are guaranteed to develop and improve your fishing skills at once!
1. Location, location, location! Quite frankly and very frequently, it's all about the spot you choose. The reason why you haven't caught a single fish may be for the simple explanation that you're fishing in the wrong spot. You'd be much better off fishing in bays and seam ridges.
Many types of fish, specifically the popular game variety of trout, consider bays or coves as cool and refreshing resting areas. More importantly, bays are loaded with oxygen. The unstable waterways trap and lock in oxygen at their surface. When the water arrives at the inlet, most oxygen is dissolved because of the abrupt transformation of water movement.
Seam edges, on the other hand, is where the speed of the river varies. This is a result of riffles, a section of water that runs over a stony bottom. As the water flows on the rocky bottom, turbulence is created, and because of this, oxygen is also dispersed in water. This creates a stimulating hub for the fishes. Search for and find these places and you will frequently discover a large concentration of fish.
2. Be invisible. Any movement or action—no matter how seemingly small—will attract the attention of the fish. It will kick it to a defensive stance. Its survival instinct will take over, and it will attempt to escape from perceived danger. You want to avoid this whenever possible. What should you do?
Avoid being seen, of course! Do not engage in any unnecessary movement while fishing. A good idea would be to stay within the shade as you lay the waiting game for the fish to bite your lure. This way, you won't cast any shadow on the water’s surface and the fish wouldn't know that you're there. You are the hunter in waiting.
3. The moment the fish nips at the bait, the idea isn't to wrestle with the fish. The idea is to tire out and exhaust the fish. It will then resign itself and approach you voluntarily of its own accord. To accomplish this, you need to gently free the line and carefully manipulate the same with moderate movements of your hand. Many fishermen fail to realize that fishing is a game of finesse and delicacy, not power. Measured and steady beats fast and risky any day of the week.
Catching fish should be easier now and a lot more fun. Just remember not to rush this game, for a game it surely is. Find your spot. Be invisible. Then be the master of the game. Good luck!

2008 Review Gillhams Fishing Resorts Krabi Thailand
By: Stuart Gillham | 17/12/2009What a year 2008 was - it was the first full year Gillhams was open. We first opened the doors to anglers in August 2007, and the very first anglers to fish were my old friends Terry Eustace and Joe Taylor. Terry caught his first ever arapaima here, and to this day it is still my favorite arapaima picture. Many of my friends own and run fisheries, and they all warned me how hard this business is. I did not believe them, but I now know why.
