Types of Fishing
Among the types of sport fishing we have two: the active includes techniques and practices where the bite is caused, such as trolling, baitcasting, spinning and the favorite of many, fly fishing.
The other type is passive, where you basically drop the hook or lure into the water and the athlete sits patiently waiting for the fish to bite.
Baits
There are several types of lures or baits to attract the fish, there are live natural baits, which are kept in nurseries, and they are usually small fish such as sardines or in some cases worms. There are also dead baits, which are parts of organisms that are placed on the hook, commonly used: fish, insects, worms, etc. And finally, artificial plastic or metal baits, shaped like live animals, such as dusters, flies, insects, etc.
World Fishing
