How To Start Fishing Any Lake for Beginners- Tips and Techniques

Here are a few tips / setups for lake fishing for beginners. I hope this helps you get started! If it’s a new lake or a lake you don’t know, make sure to stop by the local bait shop or do a quick web search. Remember, minnows and worms are always a great start.

    Lots of information all at once, so I’ll have to re-watch. Still very informative.

    I was just watching one of the British beginner fishing videos, and the entire feel is so different. The rig was a rod with no reel and fixed length of line. Small hook with maggots and a float. Fishing very close to the bank of a pond that belongs to a fishing club. The action was very sedate, and the fish were really polite or something. It was a funny contrast with an American video. Our fish are energetic and feisty. Even a small bluegill puts up a huge fight by comparison to the lethargic English fish. It was really funny.

    Don’t be using plastic bobbers. Disgusting. Foam bobbers or nothin.

  25. @xu4n_h on June 6, 2025 at 11:26 am

    Going freshwater fishing for the first time in my 13 years of fishing– Thought it’d be more complicated than it would be.
    Thanks!

  26. @Beachtownmag on June 6, 2025 at 11:30 am

    roomer has it he is still fishing to this day

  27. @xabierjones5749 on June 6, 2025 at 11:32 am

    Best video I’ve seen so far lol

  28. @Hometown_Outdoorsman on June 6, 2025 at 11:32 am

    awesome video on beginner techniques. I have been thinking about doing a video for the last few days because its crazy how many channels have bad or overwhelming information in videos focusing on beginners. Its good to see a video that isn’t telling you to spend hundreds of dollars on gear and lures to start fishing. Especially since often times the most effective bait is live.

  29. @CrisJunio-qj5vl on June 6, 2025 at 11:33 am

    Pretty nice beginner 😊

  30. @ozzzyd922 on June 6, 2025 at 11:37 am

    Great video brudda, much appreciated 🤙

  31. @itsmedavidd on June 6, 2025 at 11:37 am

    My fiancé and I are about to start fishing together she plans to teach me but I’m the type of guy that likes to research hobbies. I gotta say this video will be very beneficial for someone who’s never cast a like since they were 8.

  32. @ashleywest9635 on June 6, 2025 at 11:42 am

    Info overload🤯

  33. @rasmagiddo on June 6, 2025 at 11:46 am

    What a sharp young man. Make more fishing videos

  34. @liv4music on June 6, 2025 at 11:48 am

    What?

  35. @redviperhd6587 on June 6, 2025 at 11:48 am

    He pronounced it "bass" one time and "bass" another time

  36. @Koby-l6h on June 6, 2025 at 11:48 am

    You’re still helping people in 2025 thanks man 👍🏾

  37. @carbongastropod3307 on June 6, 2025 at 11:49 am

    Y’all learn about mosquitofish. It’s an invasive species and breeds like rabbits so you catch them all over the US for free bait. (Don’t use them in water that doesn’t already have them though- very invasive and they fuck shit up eating fish eggs)

  38. @Beachtownmag on June 6, 2025 at 11:49 am

    i went fishing and i found this guy in the lake

  39. @Quick-Silver206 on June 6, 2025 at 11:51 am

    I recently found a good crank bait just floating out in the lake. Works a charm!

  40. @dough-moh on June 6, 2025 at 11:55 am

    You explain this so well, thank you I learned a lot.

  41. @SpokaneGraffiti on June 6, 2025 at 11:56 am

    Really good demonstration, i am literally a 1st timer and i will go ztep by step

  42. @MattsOutbackF2 on June 6, 2025 at 12:00 pm

    Im a newbie fisher. From all that I have seen, heard and discussed, it seems to me the overall behavior and ecology is important.

    Can someone simplify the basics, not because Im stupid, rather Im trying to build a simple basis to work off of. As in, what can I look up and study beforehand, as well as, what are some basic tennets?

    I understand a swivel, sinker, bobber, and basic terminology. But, I dont understand how to basically apply these different techniques in the right order/combination.

    For example, I was near Bridgton-Sebago Maine in a local lake. Not crazy movement of water, about half of the movement of water was due to wind. Was mostly murky and dark, only the coast was visible in direct sunlight (could see at most 6ft deep, and it wasnt clear). I used some spinner lures with light line and light sinkers (not moveable sinkers) and I caught a small bass, a pikerel, and a pike. Nothing large, or legally able to keep, but I caught something. I focussed on giving time to let the bait sink, and then tried to drag it across the bottom without catching on plants (it never even once caught on a rock which was suprising) as I had read previously. And our of the probably 40 casts, caught those three fish, 1 on day one and the last 2 on day 2. I noticed that the bait with a shiny bottom was a big difference, but I noticed the thinner slender spinner was better for smaller fish and the shorter girthier bait was better for the bass (small bass not the big bass species). Also, I noticed a lot of biting, but a lot of letting go with a tigher barrel (the spool, I dont know the proper name). When I let the looseness of the line go lower via the nob on the top of the spool, same amount of bites, but I ended up getting 2 fish rather than that 1 small bass. I knownI was getting bites only because that was the only thing I remember learning as a kid, about the difference between stuck and actually having a bite and actuallt fighting the fish with the reel.

    So all in all, id like to know what I should take away from that experience as well as what should I be paying attention to, and even, if possible, the main theory. I love learning, so this is not a chore.

    Thanks!!!

  44. @TheSalmonPatty on June 6, 2025 at 12:02 pm

    Cant start off a beginner fishing video with saying i need to buy 2 fishing rods 😭

  45. @pup_puppyluv on June 6, 2025 at 12:02 pm

  46. @MrRaaggeeer on June 6, 2025 at 12:03 pm

  49. @ez80514 on June 6, 2025 at 12:05 pm

    I’ve been out fishing seven times, and so far I I haven’t caught anything even with live bait

  50. @harigdj88 on June 6, 2025 at 12:06 pm

    Just returning to fishing after retirement. Boy, things have changed. Need to buy a minnow bucket and another rod and reel. Worms I know, that much hasn’t changed. Fun has just started.
