Anglers should constantly move and explore different areas to find fish. Always look for new water, which can mean small changes in location or tactics. Don't be afraid to leave a fishing spot and try something different if you're not having success. Memorable fishing experiences can happen when least expected, such as doubling up on fish at the end of the day.
