New to fishing

[MikeH]

If you are just starting out and looking to get into fish, I would recommend that you switch to using whole or half cut live Dew Worms and scale your hook size down to around #8. Most fish will happily take a live worm. you will need to read the MNR regs on out of season fish for your fishing location. Either put the worm directly on the bottom, or rig it on a four ft tail and let it drift around under a bubble float.

*If you decide to target a specifc species, such as Pike, then read up on some basics, as per Muskiebaits suggestion. Make sure you know the regs on out of season fish at your location.
