Happy fishing

I could not sit at home doing nothing worthwhile so I went fishing on Lake Lanier. Caught a tiny fish(7 cms) . Since eating such a small fish would not quench my hunger I just unhooked it and threw it back into the lake alive. Many fishermen follow this practice. Chris who had bought me a bait while I was in NC had told me that fishes are attracted by movement. My bait had six tentacles and when I tug the line slightly (Chris' trick) it seems like a live insect. It was amazing how this movement attracted fishes like crazy. I also made sure that the weight of my line dosent submerge my bait because fishes investigate submerged baits and rarely bite whereas if the bait rests on the surface it swoops down on it in one swift motion and bite.

Found my fishing hole and am planning to fish often after work. I also downloaded a software which tells me when is the best time to fish at certain spots depending on the mooncycle and the time of the day.
