How to Catch Any Fish

Picture
Pacific Sailfish
Welcome to How To Catch Any Fish.  Whether you are new to the sport or have been fishing your whole life, my goal is to help fishermen everywhere achieve their dream catches by providing specific, concise, useful information on how to catch as many specific species as I can.  Whether your goal is a 2lb bluegill or a 500lb marlin or something in between, you should find helpful advice here on this site.  I am definitely not a leading authority for any specific species of fish, but I have caught over 100 different species of gamefish in different parts of the world and in doing so have picked up a lot of random useful knowledge that I wanted to share.  I created this site in order to share what has worked for me on some of the different species I have caught, encourage people to share their own knowledge, and point people to some useful resources that I have found valuable.  I hope you enjoy.

If you have some good info on how to catch any of the species not yet added to this site, or have some additional tips for fish already on this site, please e-mail me.  Eventually I would like to see every species of gamefish covered.  Check back frequently as more species will be added as I catch them and more tips and information will be added as I receive it.  If you have a fishing tip or photo or story to share please feel free to e-mail me and I can post it on this site.  I'm trying to compile the best collection of quality fishing photos that I can for everyone to enjoy.  Please see the Photo Gallery for what I have so far and send me your pics!
