Worm Fishing - Advanced Fishing Strategies For Live Worm Fishing

The following are advanced strategies for applying worms to catch fish, I'm not referring to worm fishing as it concerns to the plastic worm that Bass fishermen are so adoring of.

Worm fishing with live worms can be much more efficient than most people consider. You see, most people think that merely stringing a live worm onto a single hook is worm fishing, but this unprofessional approach is anything but as efficient as it could be. As a matter of fact, after approximately the age of twelve, this approach should not even be undertook.

The first advanced worm fishing strategy that I want to talk about is the way in which our worms are carried. What do I mean by this? Most anglers carry their live worms in the container that they purchase them in and this is a mistake. The amount of wasted time this approach squanders is unbelievable. What we want is an efficient way to carry our live worms that results in those worms always being at our fingertips, waiting to be used. The best way to achieve this is through the use of a bait bag. A bait bag is a small pouch that hangs from your fishing vest or shirt, and carries your live worms while fishing. It's a "must have" item for the serious live worm angler.

The next "must have" item for the serious live worm anglers are pre-tied gang hooks. What are gang hooks you ask? Well, gang hooks are simply a pair of small hooks tied in tandem, thus enabling live worms to be presented in an outstretched and natural manner. This makes a huge difference in bite rates, especially for larger, more veteran fish. The old way of using live worms as bait, which means "stringing" a worm onto a hook, ends up looking like a worm ball. Gang hooks do away with this problem.

Carrying pre-tied gang hooks with you while worm fishing, is in all likelihood the most crucial advanced strategy for worm fishing. You most certainly don't want to waste time tying gang hooks on the water, so having pre-tied gang hooks with you while worm fishing is a must. Commence using gang hooks sooner, preferably than later and you can see for yourself how effective they are.

These strategies aren't for the fisherman who worm fishes once a month or year. These strategies are for thoise of us who worm fish as often as we can, and like to catch fish as much as anything we do. These statagies are for the serious angler, who wants to catch more and bigger fish while worm fishing.
