* Fish move: They dart and change direction quickly, making it nearly impossible to predict their exact path.
* Water refraction: Light bends as it passes from water to air, making fish appear higher and closer than they actually are.
* Depth and current: The depth of the water and the strength of the current will affect how far your line travels and how the fish's movements appear.
Instead of aiming, you should:
* Focus on casting accuracy: Aim for a spot near where you think the fish might be, but don't try to hit the fish directly.
* Use your bait strategically: Choose a bait or lure that appeals to the type of fish you're targeting and use it to entice the fish to your line.
* Observe the fish's behavior: Watch how the fish is swimming, where it's going, and what it's doing. This will give you clues about its likely path and how to cast your line effectively.
* Practice and patience: The best way to improve your fishing skills is through practice and observation.
Remember, fishing is more about skill and strategy than simply aiming. Enjoy the process and don't get discouraged if you don't catch anything right away.
