Jarred's Shoreline Fishing Tips

1. Have the right gear: The right sized hook matters. If it's too big, you won't be able to hook your fish.If it's too small, it will slip out of the fish's mouth. If your rod is too light, a fish will break it. if your line is too light, a fish will also break it but if it's too heavy, the fish won't even look at you. If you are fishing for larger fish, a large capacity reel is necessary. If it's too small, the fish will pull the line and the line will break.

2. Water Levels: See what level the fish are at in the water, meaning where they are striking, and get your bait in front of them.

3. Bait: If you notice your fish don't like your bait, try catching small minnows and using them as your bait instead.

4. Cover: If you can't see the fish, look for cover and cast there. Fish prefer cover over open water because they can ambush their prey better.

My Favorite Things About Summer Camp

At The Boys and Girls Club, I enjoy swimming in the pool. I like to play in the gym. The learning room, activity room and game room are fun too. I really like being outdoors for outside gym class. I just love EVERYTHING about it!

I went to the Children's Museum with my Mom and my sister, Julia and learned how I can help to save water. If I take the shower challenge, I can shower in 5 minutes (or less). I should shut off the water when I'm washing my hands or brushing my teeth because that saves water too. Saving water is a good idea for the environment.

Try it!
