Answer 1

If you're fishing on a flowing stream or river, cast upstream and allow the lure to float down before you start reeling it in. It always seemed to work for me when I did it that way...

Answer 2

Cast far...but make sure you don't get your lure caught in a tree!  

My dad would always say something like: "we're not fishing for squirrels!" when I hooked a limb.   hahah
