When going fishing, if you
research your location, bait your line well and take the appropriate
amount of patience and vigilance, you'll snag yourself a definite prize.
Fishing is a sport of patience,
eagle-eye vision and lightning reflexes in order to spot and to cause
the hook to get inserted deep enough so as to not let the prized poisson
get free.
Depending on the bait used
and the location sought out, whether you come home with a winner depends
on the fisherman's ability to quietly wait for the fish to nibble and
take the bait.
Sometimes your spot will
be unbeknownst to other eager fishermen in the area; you'll be the only
person to receive full benefit of an untapped fishing hole. If it ever
becomes known from either a beligerent passerby or someone spying in
behind the bushes, then it'll be a secret no more and overflooded with
infiltrators until the supply is completely depleted, or the fish are
disturbed to the point of not wanting to be smothered by all those hooks
and "fake" offerings of nourishment.
The type of lure used may
be the determining factor in making the best of the bunch come to your
line rather than the competitors. Flashy, silvery lures may look pretty,
but sometimes a simple worm might be all but enough for the common feeding
fish.
In recruiting, "baiting
the line" is sometimes a necessity if you want to catch the prized
fish everyone is clamouring for.
Depending on how you position
yourself, where you decide to launch the boat and drop the line, it
will then determine how long you'll have to wait, how many times you'll
need to cast your line time and time again, and whether you'll be able
to get a bite within seconds of dropping the anchor and casting the
line.
