First thing you should do is turn the BEEP off.

Next thing you should do is prepare yourself for the type of fish your fishing for.

As an example

I normally fish for halibut but I'm not going to drop my bait down in an area where I see nothing but kelp or rocks/structure. However, the minute I see a sandy bottom near that structure down goes the bait. Why? because I know that hali's hang out in sandy bottoms near kelp and rocks/structure.

What were you fishing for?
