It’s important to keep your caught fish cool while you continue to catch more, so we advise occasionally switching the water out and/or adding ice. Continue until you’ve caught all that you want for the day.Īs you catch fish, be sure to store them in your bucket to help keep them fresh. Carefully remove the hook from the fish’s mouth and place it in your bucket (be sure to have put pond water in the bucket first). Once you see the bobber sinking beneath the surface, reel it in! Once you reel the fish to the edge of the pond either drag it up onto the grass using the fishing pole, or scoop it out of the water if you’ve brought a net. Now sit back, relax, and watch for the bobber to sink below the surface of the water. The bobber on the fishing line will float until a fish starts to bite. Stand at the ponds edge, hold the pole back, depress the button, cast and release the button as you finish the casting motion. Pushing it through multiple places helps keep it from falling off the hook. Open your worm container, grab a worm (we suggest tearing or cutting the worm in half) and carefully push the hook through the worm in multiple spots. Release the hook from the eye it is hooked on. When you are finished, fill in all holes that are dug at the site.ĪLL FIELD TRIPS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE DEPENDING ON THE WEATHER AND ROAD CONDITIONS.Once you pick your spot, get your fishing pole and worms ready. Pack out what you pack in and pick up all litter.
