Good Fish Handling Guide: Good Practices
A good safety tip: Take a sponge with you in your net bag, this can be put into the landing net and used to get water for groundbait or casters, where the bank is high or steep.
A good useful tip: Always carry a spare Tent Peg; If you should catch an injured or damaged fish and want to seek and inform the owner of the fishery where you are fishing, as all good conscientious anglers would? You are then able to retain the fish alive in your landing net with the net's handle safely pegged down on the bank with the Tent Peg while you seek help.
Another useful tip: If you break or whant to change your elastic while fishing and have no Pole threading kit, take a piece of long line 0.22m/m or there abouts and tie one end to your elastic and attach a string of No 8 or No 6 shot to the other end. Then feed the line followed by your elastic through your pole.. On completion take of the shot for reuse and complete the pole re-elastication. A quick and inexpensive fix.
A tip for taking better photographs : As shown in the accompanying photograph, gently trap the fish's pectoral fin between your fingers.
1. This helps keep your fingers out of the fish's eye and
2. encourages the fish to become "dormant" and lie still while a photograph is taken.
3. Always have your photos taken while kneeling down never while standing up. 
Tips for getting the most out of your monofilament fishing line:
Store Line Properly: Store your line, either still on the package spool or on the reel, in a cool, dark, dry place. Avoid storing line where it can be exposed to light or heat.
Spool Line Tight: Spool monofilament line onto the reel as tightly as possible as this helps stop the line from “digging in” to the rest of spool when you playing a strong, hard-fighting fish.
Keep Reel Spools Full: Keep your reels full of line. Partially full reels do not cast or retrieve as well as a full reel. Careful not to overfill the reel as this creates other problems.
Change Line Often: Re-spool line regularly by changing line at least every two to three trips - more frequently if you’ve been catching a lot of big fish or fishing over abrasive ground.
Prevent Line Twists: To prevent twisted line on your spinning reel, spool the line from the storage spool in spiral fashion, with line coming off your spool in the same direction as the spinning reel bail-arm is turning.
To prevent Line Twist when spinning always use a spinning counter weight or small piece of folded lead over your line to help stop the line twisting.
Wet Line Before Fishing: Wet your line before fishing. Boat anglers do this by letting out 50 to 75 yards of bare line, with no lure or other terminal tackle, behind a moving boat, then reeling it in. The resistance of the water helps winding the line tightly on to the reel. If you’re not on a boat, make a few practice casts with a lure or weight to wet the line before you start fishing.
