Let me quote a little from a page in the Universal Fishing Calendar.
"The Moon exerts a gravitational pull on the tides, the oceans, the air and the soil.
Small creatures must work against such fluctuations in their environments and this makes them use up energy. This energy must be replaced by food.
Feeding times therefore are in synch with patterns of the orbits of the Moon.
When the Moon is full, energy expended is greatest and small creatures come out to feed. The waters are warmer around summer full moons.
Bigger creatures come out to feed on the smaller, and even bigger creatures come out to eat them. The result is a general feeding time which translates into the best fishing and hunting time."

Learning To Fish
Fishing is a fun and tranquil sport that lets you spend quiet time with your friends, family and with Mother Nature.
Fresh water fishing is a sport involving the catching of fish in lakes, rivers and streams. It involves a lot of patience, challenge and acquired skill over time. Anyone can participate in this fun activity, including the kids.
To start with you have to check your State's fishing requirements and make sure if a fishing license is needed. If it's required, you might find that your local sporting goods store will help you to get it, and possibly even provide it for you.
And by the way, when you're in that store, look around for the fishing equipment you'll need for your trip. If you're a beginner there's probably no need for expensive equipment just yet.
An inexpensive fishing rod and reel will be enough along with a fishing line, hooks, weights, a bobber (keeps your line afloat), fishing lures and net. A polarized sunglass is also a good idea - it helps to see clearly through the water and lessen the glare.

Where To Fish?
If you don't know any good locations to fish, ask about local 'hot' spots or check your State's fishing regulations for information about fishing locations around your State.
It is always advised that you avoid fishing alone. If an emergency were to strike, there will be someone who can call for help.
It is wise to start fishing in shallow waters. Aim your cast in shady or rocky areas where the water is deep, as this is where the fish are expected to be found.
As your skill level develops and increases, you can then attempt deeper waters. But before going, take the time to practice casting to familiarize yourself with your rod and reel.
Fishing hooks are very sharp and needed to be handled with care to avoid injury. Before casting, it is important to look around you and stay unobstructed to avoid hurting other people with your hook.
When the right time has come to go fishing, cast your line ahead of the fish, making your bait land slowly and with as little splash as possible. The fish will see well at a close point, but cannot see behind.
If you catch an undersized fish, quickly return it to the water. Likewise, if you have no intention of eating your catch, return it to the water. Releasing the fish will supply the water with more fish, giving future fishermen the thrill to experience a catch.
Enjoy the adventure!
