A Brief Guide to Dockside EtiquetteBy - Aikens Lake Wilderness lodge
Fishing is a popular pastime around the world, especially in the U.S. and Canada. There are many places that offer trips and vacations focused on fishing in Canada. With its relaxing nature and popularity, you’ll find more people fishing, especially off of docks and piers. To be a fisherman that others don’t loathe, keep these tips in mind:
Dockside Etiquette: Tips to Keep in Mind
Keep an Eye on Other Fishermen.Try to find yourself a spot that gives you and the others who are also fishing from the dock some space. This helps to ensure that you won’t tangle your line with others. It also helps to keep the noise down and ensure that you won’t disturb others if you have company and are talking as you fish.
Keep Your Voice Down.
In the same vein of decency, keep your voice down. Fish can be spooked by loud noises. All it takes is a shout for a fishing trip that started with lots of fish biting to turn into a bust with no action at the other end of the fishing pole.
Share Your Bait.If you’re finished fishing for the day- either because you caught your limit or because you have other things to do – and you have leftover bait, share it with others. Other fishermen on the docks may be out of bait or nearly so before they are mentally ready to stow their gear for the day. Besides that, you won’t have wasted your money on bait that you didn’t use.
