Fishing in a fishing pond certainly has its own way. For those of you who like fishing, make sure you know the techniques and how to fish in fish ponds so that your paid hobby is not in vain.

 

1. Choose Reel and Fishing Rod 

The technique or method of fishing in a fishing pond that you need to pay attention to first is to pay attention to the selection of the right reel and rod. As winders and string holders, reels and rods have a large enough role in the fishing process. If you want to get maximum fish results, choose a reel and rod component that has medium strength with a length of 2 meters. Such specifications are usually used for types of fish that are not too large. However, if you have a tall body, then choose a rod size that is longer than your body. 

This is so that you feel comfortable when pulling the reel. In practice, using this reel is quite easy, you only need to open the bail arm or a place to direct the strings and then throw the bait according to the intended target. Then close the bail arm again and so on according to the technique used. Considering that you are only fishing in a fishing pond, you don't need to use a reel with high specifications, such as the BaitCasting Reel and the Trolling Reel. Besides not really needed, this reel with high specifications and capabilities is also quite difficult to use because it requires practice and experience. 

 

2. Use Good Fishing Strings

Besides reel and fishing rods, another factor that also determines success when fishing is the selection of the right fishing string. Even in some fishing techniques, these components are assembled in such a way that the fishing line does not scuff when it goes in and out spool or when landing fish. Selection of the right string is still a debate among fishing mania. Moreover, there are no standard rules or guidelines governing this matter. 

However, the best guide in choosing fishing line is to return to your needs. You can use the principle of adaptation to other devices. For example if you use reel and a fishing rod with a fairly good quality, then adjust the type of string with the same quality. Also adjust the fishing line to the weight of the fish that will be your target. With this principle at least your fishing process will be safer. Generally, the fishing line that is widely used is of the monofilament type with a weight of 2.7 to 5.4 kilograms and a length of 2 meters. If this size fits your needs, 

 

3. Choose Suitable Bait

Bait is also a determinant of success when fishing in fishing ponds. One of the things you should pay attention to in choosing bait is to adjust it to the type of fish that is your target. Because each fish has its own type of food. Generally, the types of bait used in fishing ponds are crickets, worms, bread and bakwan. But if you are not used to using live bait, you can replace it with sow bait that is made soft. Most fishing ponds provide bait like this. You are curious about what it looks like, you can try to buy it at the nearest fishing pond around your house.

 

4. Use a Fishing Float

In contrast to fishing in the middle of the ocean which does not require a fishing float, fishing in a fishing pond where the water tends to be calm really needs a float or kumbul. With the bait float you will not sink or go down to the bottom of the pool. In addition, the float also has another function, namely as an indicator or a signal that your bait is being enjoyed by fish. 

There are many types of buoys on the market, ranging from tin, wood, cork, fiber, plastic and many more. There are various shapes of buoys, some are long, round, oval, top, etc. Of the many types and shapes that exist, you should choose a float that is suitable for the location you are fishing. If you are fishing in a fast-flowing river, choose a kumbul that has a fat shape at the base, don't forget to add weight from lead so that your bait doesn't get carried away. Conversely, if you are fishing in calm water such as a pond or lake, choose a short cylindrical kumbul.

 

5. Glue the Bait on the Hook

When you are going to place the bait, make sure the bait is really attached to the hook. Don't let your bait come off when you've just cast the string. If you use live animal bait, such as worms, stab the end of the worm's body then circle 2 to 3 times around the hook. Even though it's a little disgusting, this way your bait won't come off, especially when you snap it when it's eaten by fish. 

 

6. Drag and Strike the Rod

When the float signals the bait is being eaten, don't rush to pull the rod. Wait a few moments until the float sinks a little into the water then beat the rod and roll the reel. Determining whether our bait is eaten by fish or not is quite difficult, but at least the shock has the potential to hit the mouth of the fish that grabbed your bait.

 

7. Be patient

The following tips are quite simple, even though they are trivial, in fact there are still many people who fail to follow these tips. Although some say that fishing is not a matter of patience but skill. The fact is that not a few people fail to get fish while fishing because they are impatient. Even though the essence of fishing is patience, patience begins when you throw the hook into the fishing pond until the fish grabs your bait. 

Remember that your fishing activity in the fishing pond is just a hobby to unwind. You are not a fisherman who is required to get maximum results in one go. Stay focused on waiting for your float to signal by occasionally giving the line a tug and tug

Those are a few tips for fishing in a fishing pond that may be useful. Achieving success does require struggle, even so with fishing which also requires struggle and patience.
