At Berkley®, we’re committed to scientifically figuring out how to help anglers catch more fish. But in times like these, it may be less about how you should fish, and more about why. Fishing is a way to get away from it all. (And yes, there is plenty to get away from.) To let go. To relax and enjoy some quality time on the water.
So grab your rod, a handful of your favorite lures, and let the simple sport of fishing help get you through this.
If you can’t safely get out on the water right now, here are some great articles and videos that will get you just a little bit closer to it.
