There’s an experience that’s likely common to any angler who’s landed a beautiful fish when no one’s around. There’s an initial exhilaration followed by the thought: “I wish someone had seen that fight and this fish!” Now, with modern technology, anglers can share their experience and all their greatest fishing moments with the whole world. All an angler has to do is set up a YouTube channel. For those who strike a chord with fellow anglers, it’s even possible to make a living doing it! If the idea appeals to you and you’re thinking of firing up a fishing channel of your own, consider the following suggestions. Fishing Mask Have a Niche Find a specific niche, like an area, type of fish, or technique that hasn’t been adequately covered by other channels and create videos for that niche. That’s not to say that your channel should be limited to only a single topic, rather it means that you should be offering something unique. That might mean your specific brand of hum...

It’s easy to forget the little details. Even experienced, professional anglers forget to bring everything they need or update their clothing every once in a while. It certainly makes sense to do research on your fishing territory, study seasonal feeding and spawning habits, and invest in specialized gear.

Switching out your line when it’s getting old is a step that’s easy to forget and overlook. That’s particularly true for anglers with a dozen different rigs in the...

Even the most accomplished anglers can find themselves in a rut, or a progress plateau. Perhaps you’ve found your preferred fishing style, fishing gear, and fishing hole. Maybe you’re even doing relatively well, catch-wise, but as they say in business—if you’re not growing, you’re slowing. Sometimes all it takes to get out of a rut is to invest in some new gear. Fishing Shirts Pick up some new equipment, whether articulated lures or high-performance fishing shirts , and it might force you out of that rut and into new angling territories.   Polarized Sunglasses If you have yet to invest in a reliable pair of polarized shades, you’re missing out. Polarized sunglasses are a fishing-forward accessory in several ways. For one, when you’re on the water, there’s often not a lot of shade, meaning it can be harder to get out of the sun. Combined with the glare reflecting off the water, that can be a bit much. Polarized lenses filter out more of the sun’s rays th...
