Pick a Spot, Give It a Try Find a place where fish swim by. Look for water thats clear and deep, Where fish might come to rest or leap.

Gear Up, Dont Be Slow Get your rod and reel in tow. Hooks and bait or lures so bright, Will help you fish from day to night.

Check the Weather, Heres a Tip Fish like it when clouds are hip. Overcast or just before a storm,

Prepare Your Bait, Make It Right Choose worms or lures to give a bite. Match the bait to what fish like, For a chance to reel in something spike.

Set Up Your Rod, Keep It Tight Attach the hook and get it right. Make sure the line is nice and strong, So your fish wont slip along.

Cast Your Line, Give It a Swing Throw your bait where fish might cling. Aim for spots with rocks or weeds, Where fish might gather for their feeds.

Wait and Watch, Stay Calm and Still Watch for movements with a thrill. A little tug or line that sways, Means a fish might be at play.

Reel It In, Nice and Slow Feel the tug and let it show. Keep the line tight, dont let it slip, As you pull in with a gentle grip

Handle with Care, Dont Be Mean Use a net or your hands, so clean. Wet your fingers, hold the fish right, If youre releasing, make sure its light.

Release or Keep, Its Up to You Follow rules and know what to do. If you keep it, store it with care, Or set it free, and let it beware.
