Luck is not, of course, something which can be proved or measured by science, which makes it perfect for me to write about since no one can prove me wrong. Thus, using a highly-developed form of research which mostly involves making stuff up, I have determined that certain tricks can, in fact, improve your luck while fishing. Here are some of my favorite tactics.

1. The Banknote Trick

When you set a line, let out a few extra feet. Then fold a banknote, and lay it on the spool. Hold it in place while you take a few turns on the reel, so your fishing line pins it down. (view photo) Then set the drag and wait for a bite. Since the fish intrinsically know that eating your bait will now cost you extra money, they’ll be far more likely to strike. Good luck!

2. Change Your Luck

This one works both figuratively and literally, because what you’re about to do is throw all of your pocket change over the side of the boat. I’m not sure if this is intended to please the fish gods or if the flash of sinking coins may actually attract a fish or maybe two. Good Luck again.

3. Converse, Before You Start

Talking to your bait or lure works wonders. I became a believer after watching my fishing friend Edwin (Pici Picu) spend a solid five minutes telling his jig how much he loved it, how pretty it was, and how sure he was that it could attract a bluefin tuna, if it just tried a little bit harder. A few minutes later, he caught a bluefin tuna of 240 kilos/530 lbs.

Remember, the idea here is to encourage your bait, not berate it for failing to produce. Be nice to it, and it will be nice to you. I’m telling the truth.
