A FISHING TIP FOR KIDS FROM SEBASTIAN T. BOBBER
Quick movements and high-pitched sounds scare fish. That’s why it’s very important when you’re fishing to be stay still and to speak softly. I know, it’s not easy to keep still and quiet when you have a fish on the line. But it could help you catch another fish. Good luck and come visit me at Sebastian’s Corner at www.kids-fishing.com. I’ve got more fishing tips for you.
