There are some factors affecting your fishing trip
such as the temperature, light, wind, storm, cloud and rain
Temperature
During
summer days with high temperature, fish in ponds and river can be tired and
lethargic. This phenomenon also occurs in winter when the water temperature is
low. What is the reason?
Fish is a kind of cold-blooded creature, their body
temperature is not stable as humans and other warm-blooded animals. Therefore,
the temperature of the surrounding temperature affects the fish's body. If
water temperature is too high or too low, it will reduce the amount of oxygen
in the water and make fish sluggish, lazy to move.

So, anglers should choose the suitable bait and
strategy to get the best result after fishing trip. The fishing guide for this
situation is to drag the bait slowly in the cold water and drop rapidly in warm
water.

Light
Fish prefer the early morning to the late afternoon
because the sunlight makes them tired. The cool air in the morning is the ideal
time for them to forage.
Warm water temperature in the early spring days
makes fish more active to search for food. On hot days, almost fish move to
cooler and deeper areas and then stay there. Using fake or live baits to lure
fish in the early morning and late afternoon is the best choice of fishing guide. At noon, the temperature
on the water surface is high, the amount of oxygen also reduce, so fish tend to
move to the bottom. Therefore, anglers should drop bait in the bottom to make
them easily to see.

3Wind
The wind plays an important role in your fishing trip.
Wind pushes water and food far from inshore and fish will follow then. Thus if
you will go fishing at sea or large lakes in the windy day, drop baits in place
fish school can stay.

Storm
Storms
often change weather condition and affect fishing activities. Many fish go for
foraging harder before a cold, but eat slowly during a storm, even a few days
after the storm.

Fishing in cold days is not an appreciating advice
of fishing guide. This situation can
last 1-2 days later after the storm. Warm weather makes the water temperature
on the surface increase and motivates fish more aggressive to find prey.
Especially, it is true in winter with more sunlight, fish becomes positive to
search for food.
5.
Cloud
In
the summer, cloud helps to reduce the high temperature and make water cooler
and then motivate fish forage. Overcast sky is a positive condition for fish to
search food and wander around the lake. During sunny days with dense cloud,
fish tend to hide near the shielding walls.
