We all like to fish in an empty area or be the first to arrive at the spot. But that's out of our control. Now that more and more people are fishing, the chances of encountering a common fishing spot are also increasing. So when you arrive at the fishing spot, you will often find that someone has left from there, or is fishing there. Of course, don't worry too much. Although fishing in areas that others have fished is not the result you want, it is not completely hopeless.
1.Be more attentive
First of all, the importance of fishing spots is more critical for shallow water fishing or fish swarms. Either the spawning season in spring and the lack of oxygen in summer can cause fish to return to the shallow-water area, or changes in current river tides limit the location of fish and the size of the cluster resulting in the concentration of fishing spots. The fishing spots on the river bank are limited, and people often fish next to each other.
You need to observe the situation on your fishing spot. You can see how other people fish in many details, such as the traces of frog lures passing by, the blasted grass hole, and the muddy water being pushed forward by the fishing lure. It is also necessary to observe the reaction of the fish. When you throw the fishing lure in front of the school of fish and they don't respond, it means they have just been caught for a round.
2.Fine-tune your rig
When you're sure the fish on the spot has just seen your fishing lure, you need to make some special changes:
1）Reduce the size: Especially for shallow water fishing, use a thinner line and reduce the size of the fishing lure to catch alert fish.
2）The difference in counterweight: When you see what other people's counterweights look like, you show the fish something different.
3）Makeup: Add some special color to your soft lure.
4）Different angles: If you hit a tree stump with the Crankbait, it may attract the fish to turn around. Trying in different directions may help.
5）Grinding the fish: It doesn't sound like anything new, but maybe the original angler didn't fish carefully to cover the waters as soon as possible. If you have patience, you may be able to catch fish that have been broken up and missed.
3. Confidence, rhythm, and persistence
Confidence comes from understanding the details: 1. Why fish like to stay in certain areas; 2. How do they get into this area? It is important to judge the situation. Even though you may be behind others, you can still catch fish when the right moment of the cycle occurs, such as when the tide moves or turns the fish.
Allow yourself to be quiet and stop caring what other anglers are doing. Look down at your fish finder or line and watch for movement on the water. You have to concentrate and feel confident that you are about to hit the fish.
If you find that someone has already fished in this area of water. You must adjust your strategies in time, use your confident fishing lure, observe the details to gauge the fish's stress and emotions, and finally focus on every rod you cast.
