4 Ways to Make Your Fishing Time Even More Fun

For the average angler, it’s hard to imagine many activities more fun than fishing. It can be both relaxing and exciting. It can be a great way to bond with friends and family or the perfect way to spend some you-time recharging. Sometimes it’s worthwhile to make some changes and try new things. Whether that entails incorporating some high-performance fishing shirts into your routine or hiring a guide, trying something new can recapture some of that first-started-fishing exhilaration. It can make fishing even more fun.

Fishing Mask
 Go Somewhere New

One easy way to try something new is to go somewhere new. Haunting familiar honey-holes in familiar water is certainly a great way to spend the day, but there’s a distinct buzz that accompanies stalking quarry in new territory. Consider making it a trip to really new territory. Rather than hauling your boat to a reservoir or lake in the next city or county, why not a jaunt a few hours away, or even across state lines. Just be sure you’re licensed there.

Pick Up Professional-Grade Fishing Gear

Mixing up the routine and adding something new to your angling adventures can be as simple as picking up some new gear. In this case, optimize your comfort and protection from the elements on the water by picking up some professional-grade performance fishing shirts as well as a fishing mask. There’s a reason those tournament pros wear that gear. You’ll thank yourself the next time you’re on the water in high-performance fishing apparel.

Angle For a New Species

Angling for a new species can prove even more invigorating than heading to a new spot. This isn’t the “motoring from the weed-bed to the rocks to fish for smallmouth instead of largemouth” kind of new species. Switch it up entirely. If you’re used to hunting bass in your boat, drive up into the mountains to walk the banks of trout streams, stalking fat rainbows and browns. A whole new kind of fishing may prove just the ticket to kick the fun up a notch.

Hire a Guide or Charter

Sometimes, the most realistic and certainly one of the most fun ways to revitalize your love of fishing is to hire a guide. That’s particularly true if you’re looking for the kind of new experience that requires an entirely different set of gear, in a new location, for totally new sportfish. For example, maybe you want to try fly fishing but aren’t sure where or how to start. A guide can be exactly the resource you need. Alternately, maybe you’re a freshwater angler but have always wanted to try your hand at deep-sea fishing. Hiring a guide or signing on to a charter makes a lot more sense than investing in all the ocean-fishing gear you’ll need, renting a boat, and hoping for the best. Even if your goal is just a great day of fishing overseen by someone who can take you to the hotspots, a guide’s the way to go. Speaking of gear, make sure you’re investing in the right fishing apparel and gear for the conditions. Out on the open water you definitely want a well-ventilated fishing mask and a long sleeve performance fishing shirt.

About Gillz®

Kent Hickman took every opportunity to get out on the water and fish while growing up in his home state of Florida. He discovered a passion for fishing at a young age, and eventually decided to take a shot at going professional, joining the tournament circuit. He encountered a major problem while at tournaments: He couldn’t find the right fishing gear to meet a professional angler’s rigorous demands. Fishing under the unrelenting Florida sun meant he needed fishing apparel that was able to keep him cool while also protecting him from the elements, including the sun’s harmful rays. He took matters into his own hands in 2009, founding Gillz® to create stylish performance fishing gear, fishing masks, shirts for fishing, accessories, and other high-quality fishing apparel for his fellow anglers. Now, it’s your turn to join the growing Gillz® fishing community.

Tips for Catching the Big One This Fall

As summer slides into fall, many anglers stop going out, putting away their rods and winterizing their boats. However, they miss out on fantastic fishing opportunities. While bass is still the main fish, you can also find perch, pike, crappies, walleyes, and catfish, depending on where you are fishing. Here are some tips, from wearing the right fishing apparel to what type of bait to use, that will help you keep fishing into fall. Fishing Apparel Use Lipless Crankbaits Fall is when bass start eating more shad to prepare for winter. To mimic the small fish, use lipless crankbaits with a tight wobble. Bass often wait in shallow grass until there are shad nearby. Target the grass with the crankbait and get ready to land a bass. You can also use crankbait on the open water, where larger bass are likely to be found in the fall. The baitfish school up hundreds of yards from structures. You can go the simple route and use your radar, or just look for fish skimming the surface as the bass cha
