Quiet Please

You can learn a lot about fishing at the library. Not only from the books but by how quiet you are. Fish are extremely sensitive to sound vibrations. Come roaring up to your fishing spot, banging around your gear in the boat and talking loudly can spell disaster for your fishing efforts. The same holds true for bank fisherman. I could write all day to try and explain this but a better way to learn how sensitive fish are is to try a little experiment. The next time you are at the bait store, walk slowly up to the minnow tank, look into the water and wait for the minnows to settle down. Now softly, and I mean very softly tap the tank. Enough said.
