ind - Before you catch any fish you have to know where they are, experiment a little bit and stick with one place don't keep switching.

 

ive - The fish has to have time to take the bait! If you pull or tug to soon the fish may loose interest in "the meal"
 (remember fish go after the smaller weaker fish. If they know that what they are trying to catch is too strong the will immediately give up)
