  • Raw celery. Most people seem to say it has no flavour. To me it smells and tastes similar to vodka and makes me sick to even think about. It’s also kinda squeaky on the teeth which is unacceptable. Cooked in a soup or whatever is fine.

    Cabbage rolls. Specifically that combination of ingredients has made me sick by smelling it in the past, though it’s not as bad now as an adult, and they do taste good. Cooked/boiled cabbage in any other context never bothered me.

    Pickled onions. I love onions and can eat them raw, but I couldn’t even finish one mini pickled one due to the resemblance to stomach acid, taste and smell.






  • Location is very important. If you don’t get any nibbles or see anything jump, try moving to a different spot.

    Time of day and patience are key. Sometimes you’ll get bite after bite, and then the next time at the same spot, nothing.

    Also try switching up your bait if it’s not working, but you think there are fish there, as they can be picky eaters. Using shiny lures seems to work well.

    Never underestimate the effectiveness of giving the line a little jiggle as you reel it in to simulate live prey.

    I like to bring gloves to protect my hands from sharp fins (some can cut the shit out of you easily), as well as pliers to remove the hook as quickly and painlessly as possible.
