Question: Freshwater Fishing Questions: Do I have to let my bait float on the water or should I use a sinker?
Freshwater Fishing Questions: Do I have to let my bait float on the water or should I use a sinker for fishing in freshwater?
Is it true that the farther I cast my rod the bigger the fish I will catch?
Thanks in advance!
Answer: It really depends on what type of fish you are targeting and what type of bait you are using.
For Live Bait, you will either want it within a few feet of the bottom using a sinker, or you are going to want it within a few feet of the top under a bobber.
If you are using lures, you are going to want to give it some life. Cast it, let it dive, bounce it once, retrieve it a little ways, stop, let it dive and repeat until you've brought it in, recast and do it all over again. Try to Fish Lures around brush, fallen trees, or other types of cover to get bass and many other types of fish.
If you are using catfish or carp baits, they need to be on the bottom or right off the bottom, and just let it sit there and keep casting to that same area because it's the scent that draws them.
The distance of your cast doesn't really have anything to do with the size of the fish. It's all about placement. You can catch monster bass in 2-3ft of water at the right time of day in the right cover. While others may require deeper water. So figure out what type of fish you want to target and look into where and when they like to feed. It's also good to know what they have been biting on lately, the bait shop owners near your chosen fishing spot should be able to tell you that.
Let us know what you are targeting and we might be able to give you some less generalized answers. I hope this helps some at least. Good luck, hope you have fun.

Question: What is the best bait for shore fishing in Hawaii?
I am going to be fishing for fun, and really don't care what I catch. I just want to cast out a line pretty far and leave it, and see if I can get anything (this may not be the best strategy, but I do not have the patience to keep casting, etc). What would be the best bait to use? What fish could I likely catch this way? Any tips for my suggested method would be appeciated?
Answer: You can use frozen peas to catch all the vegetarian fish. I have fed them (unshelled) peas while snorkeling and seen some that were over twenty pounds. You might try putting three on one baitholder hook, another thing to use for the vegetarians is moss wrapped around the hook. You can find it (the moss) all around rocks nearest to and in the water around shorelines of creeks, bays and lakes. The locals pull tiny shrimp out of the seaweed piles that amass all along the shorelines and use a large clear (water fillable) bobber one quarter full of water to cast it out and it sinks to the depth where the air left in it stops it's descent. of course chunks of shrimp and pieces of frozen anchovies or mussels will work almost as well.
