What are the best tactics for fishing in freshwater versus saltwater environments?

Just wondering about this guys - what's the real deal with the best fishing tactics in freshwater versus saltwater environments? Been scratching my head over this for a while now and thought I'd see if anyone here has a clear answer. Surely some of you must have a few pointers on it, right? Any shared experiences would also be greatly appreciated! Cheers.

I can see why this might be confusing, generally speaking, each environment has its own unique features that may call for distinct tactics. Factors such as the type of fish you're aiming to catch and their feeding habits need to be considered. Also think about the time of year and water conditions, as they greatly affect fish behavior in both freshwater and saltwater. I'm curious though, have you considered fly-fishing? It's quite versatile across both environments.

Hey, absolutely agree but we shouldn't overlook local laws and regulations too. Always got to keep conservation in mind! Ever tried catch and release? It's a whole different approach to fishing!

On point! I'd just add you gotta understand your gear. It doesn't hurt to experiment and see what works in different environments. You ever used different baits for freshwater and saltwater?

Brilliant insights all around! I'd add on a bit more - ever pay attention to the lunar cycles? You'd be surprised to see how much moon phases can impact fish activities. Noticed any patterns during full moon or new moon periods? Now THAT could spice up this conversation. Your thoughts?

Well, while lunar cycles can certainly play a role, I'm curious as to how much of an impact it really has versus practical elements like choice of bait or fishing gear. Thoughts, anyone?

Ever tried using technology like fish finders or underwater cameras to get an edge? Just a thought guys, what do you reckon?

Absolutely, do keep in mind though, nothing beats experience and intuition. It's like our own version of 'fish-sense', especially in challenging conditions. Ever fished during a storm or rough seas? Wondering if anyone's got stories to share on that, could be quite the thrill!

Nope, never fished in extreme weather like that – feels a bit risky for my taste. What about fishing in super clear vs murky waters? Any stark contrasts in tactics there?

In clear water, stealth and lighter tackles are key, but in murky waters, you might want to rely more on lures with vibration and scent to attract fish.

For sure, and don't forget about water temp, especially with cold-blooded fish – it changes their activity levels big time.

Definitely a great point. Temperature swings can really shake things up, make the fish either super active or completely lethargic. It's all about timing your approach with their activity patterns.

Has anyone tried adjusting their fishing techniques based on water current changes? How does that play out for you?
