The “skill” element:
While you need both skill and luck for a successful fishing trip, skill is the most critical factor. Most people are often lucky, but the same could not be said about skill. In fact, most people are often not skilled enough to enjoy a fun day fishing.
“Skill” is a term we use to cover multiple aspects, including knowledge, experience, preparation, choice of fishing equipment, technique, and the like. If you are a novice fisherman who has not been fishing before or an experienced angler fishing in a new area such as Dubai, it is recommended to book a fishing trip with a reputable fishing charter in Dubai.
The “luck” element:
As for “luck”, many view it as an element of randomness, where things may or may not happen for no apparent solid reason. Even the most skilled individuals will need luck on their side on any given fishing trip. For example, even if you are the most skilled angler on the whole planet, sometimes the fish will simply not bite or are not even present in the area. Why? God knows (and fish, probably). Other times, the weather is not suitable for fishing, or perhaps you or your fishing buddy got ill. Anything can happen, and you might just get unlucky, no matter how skilled you are.
In conclusion, skill and luck can be seen as two faces to a single coin. One without the other simply wouldn’t result in an enjoyable fishing experience. However, it is noteworthy that you can only get lucky if you are skilled enough (i.e. well-prepared). Luck alone isn’t going to convince a King Fish to jump into your boat for a tan!

Does Fishing Depend on Luck?
It is often argued, especially between fishermen and non-fishermen, whether fishing is an activity that depends on luck. The short answer to this is, yes and no. Fishing is an activity involving two elements, skill and luck. Without skill, all the luck in the world would not be of any help. Similarly, without any luck, all the skills in the world would not help either. In other words, you need to be both skilled and lucky to enjoy a fishing trip!
