On our most recent charter we decided to partake in a spot of sport and game fishing to see what brutes we could pull from the depths. We started off on one of the local shipwrecks with some soft plastic jigging.
<br />
<br />
On the very first drop, Adam our decky hooked up on the light gear on a really solid fish. At first we were calling snapper but as the fight drew on and on we were starting to doubt our previous thoughts. ventually after about 15 minutes a 10kg golden trevally lay subdued next to the boat.
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
We then proceded to hook up on several more Goldies and by the end of a hot session that lasted about 40 minutes, we had boated 4 solid fish. We then headed out wider to one of the local island to try for some spanish mackeral. With two lures in tow, we worked the current lines that peeled off the island.<br />
<a name='more'></a>
<br />
On our second pass both rod simultaneosly loaded up and it was on again. Again we made the call – big spanish. After the first blistering run and the sheer fact that we had a double hookup – we were sure that 2 big macks had grabbed our lines. However after 25 mins of hard deep dives and unstoppable runs we changed our tune.<br />
<br />
These could only be one thing – Big GTs. After 30mins the first fish had the lip grips applied and was weighed in at a hefty 32kg. 10 mins after that the second one hit the surface and went 29 kgs. Some truly awesome sport fishing and probably 2 of the biggest fish that theses guys are ever likely to catch. Later on in the day we tried our luck for a few snapper but only managed one smallish fish of about 2.5kg. Another awesome day to remember.</div>

Most fishermen love fish. Nothing tastes better than a fish you caught yourself. In order to enjoy a fish supper, you first have to catch a fish. To start, you need advice on how to attract the fish. Here's some fishing tips you'll enjoy.
<br />
<br />
Make sure you have everything you'll need before heading out on your fishing trip. Nothing ruins fishing trips quicker than needing to go back for forgotten things. Before you take off, make sure you have bait for your fish, food for yourself and any other necessary gear.
<br />

<br />
<br />
If you are planning to be on a boat for any length of time, consider buying medication meant to cure seasickness. The movement of a boat can affect people even though they do not normally suffer from motion sickness. Keep the medication close by just in case you should need it.<br />
<a name='more'></a>
<br />
It is a good idea when you go fishing to bring along a scale. Those who catch and release may especially want to record the weight of the fish they catch.<br />
<br />
Take some time to learn responsible fishing practices. Keep the environment you fish in as pristine as if it was untouched by man. Fisherman who bring their lunches with them shouldn't litter once they are done. Look into any regulations regarding the amount of fish you are allowed to catch, and follow them. Fish that are too small for eating should be released.
<br />
<br />
Select the appropriate lure for your fishing situation. Your lure should change as the conditions do. There are countless varieties of lures available, each with its own specific purpose. You may need to play around and experiment a bit, but once you understand them, your fishing will be much easier.
<br />
<br />
In the cold weather, sinkers are a good product to have when fishing. The sinker will bring the line lower down in the warm water where most of the fish will be during the colder seasons. You can choose how many and how large the sinkers should be based on how deep the water is.
<br />
<br />
Pay close attention to the movements and actions of birds around your fishing area. Birds can spot fish from far away up in the sky. If you happen to notice a patten of where the birds are catching fish, then you may want to move in that general area. Birds eat fish and they dive into the water to catch them. Keep a close eye on the birds, and they might just lead you to goldmine of tasty fish.
<br />
<br />
Use more bait or larger lures for larger fish. Although this seems like common sense, many people don't think about it. Bigger fish will be more interested in the bigger opportunity. Small fish are generally not going to go after a lure that is large or any bait that is too big.
<br />
<br />
Research the area before you head out. The details of where and when you plan on fishing are extremely important. Gather any insight about your location before you leave. Be aware of the various species of fish native to the area. Try and find what the currents are like and where promising fishing spots are located. Check the weather forecasts.
<br />
<br />
A perfect cast is the most crucial part of fly fishing, so perfecting your casting technique is crucial. If the weather is not good enough to go fishing or if you do not have enough time, cast your line to practice. You will really feel successful if you catch a fish, even under those poor conditions.
<br />
<br />
Be sure to keep learning fishing information, especially about the specific fish you desire. If you are dedicated to the sport, you are much more likely to get that fish dinner you desire.</div>

Those who have spent time outdoors often agree that water is luring. Fishing is a great way to enjoy the water while providing some food for your family, as has been done for centuries. The following includes good tips to get started on fishing so you can come home with some dinner.
<br />
<br />
Be very cautious when wading in water. If you need to wade in a river while fishing, make sure you walk carefully and at a slow pace. Be certain to make little noise, as it will spook away your potential catches Due to this, try hard to move as slow as possible and not move anything at the bottom of the river.

<br />
<br />
When taking your child fishing, always put safety first. Teach them the proper way to bait a hook before letting them try it themselves. Instead, tell them that attaching bait is dangerous, and that only grown-ups can do it. Let your kids watch while you bait your hook.<br />
<a name='more'></a>
<br />
Move around every now and then if you're having trouble staying patient when fishing. This will allow you not to get frustrated and you will also have the benefit of observing new scenery. You may even stumble upon a great fishing spot.<br />
<br />
A great gadget for finding a fishing spot is a fish finder. Fish finders make use of sonar for finding small schools. Some fisherman will prefer to use their own skills rather than equipment to locate fish. They are of the belief that fishing is meant to be a challenge, and that such tools ought not be part of the process.<br />
<br />
Be careful while you fish. Look for a body of water with little current, fewer slipping hazards and less branches that may get in the way of your line. Be certain to wear a life jacket if you are out in deep water or quickly flowing water. It's enjoyable to do your fishing in a boat, but be safe while doing so.<br />
<br />
Make sure you understand what's going on with the weather. A lot of people say fishing is best on overcast days, but mostly this depends on your location and the kinds of fish you try to catch. Take notice of how you are doing under different weather conditions, and look for patterns. This will help you determine is a certain day is likely to be successful or not.
<br />
<br />
Catch-and-release is an ideal strategy for anyone who does not plan to actually keep and cook the fish. This is when you unhook the fish you have caught very carefully and gently put them back in the water. Using this method allows the fish to not only grow larger, but it also allows increased population of the fish in the area.
<br />
<br />
One sharp fishing hook will catch more fish than ten dull ones. A sharp fishing hook snags the fish and holds it on-line until you reel it in for the catch. You should be very diligent in frequently ensuring that your hooks are sharp. Before each outing, replace or sharpen those that are dull.
<br />
<br />
You don't want your fishing trip to be memorable because you spent the day freezing in the pouring rain. Don't ever head out for a day of fishing without checking the weather first. Check a week before your trip, and then check again the night before. If you are in for bad weather, you may want to reschedule.
<br />
<br />
Fishing has happened for centuries all over the world, and is still a fun pastime practiced to this day. Use the strategies here to be a good fisherman, that you could bring home fresh fish that you could enjoy.
<br />
<br />
If you are not seeing the results you are expecting when you are fishing, try using a life-like bait instead of one with a synthetic appearance. Gulp is a known brand that creates bait that looks and moves like live bait.</div>

This past weekend I had the pleasure of fishing in FL (Tampa Bay area) with an experienced fly fisherman and friend Ken Anderson on his sweet ‘Hells Bay Professional’ technical poling skiff.<br />
<br />
He told me that he was going to primarily be fly fishing and that I soon too would be sold on this method of angling. Being that I have never fly fished and am just beginning to master the art of inshore fishing on conventional rod and reel, I wasn’t quite sure he’d sell me on the idea.
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDv6Pkkp9VB0EQAygj3L3Nn_xjKmCdq4kwW_5w8z-lThmPLiYlfpt83hzeAluIAJLRiA0PoFErsiwi79R-e1yF0BodgoZcO7LK9vE1PZgxUYao1X_tIaaET8qMg0BNvnG9dKEkcwiOxoA/s1600/i-used-to-think-i-was-a-good-fisherman.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="I “Used To” Think I Was a Good Fisherman" border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="1600" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDv6Pkkp9VB0EQAygj3L3Nn_xjKmCdq4kwW_5w8z-lThmPLiYlfpt83hzeAluIAJLRiA0PoFErsiwi79R-e1yF0BodgoZcO7LK9vE1PZgxUYao1X_tIaaET8qMg0BNvnG9dKEkcwiOxoA/s320/i-used-to-think-i-was-a-good-fisherman.png" title="I “Used To” Think I Was a Good Fisherman" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
It wasn’t long after we got on the water that Ken began to make me a believer in this challenging, yet rewarding method of fishing. When we spoke the day before about the Florida fishing trip he asked me if I knew how to pole?<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
I didn’t quite know how to answer the question because I had personally owned a flats boat in the past with a poling platform and had indeed used it to pole the flats to locate fish. I definitely didn’t want to let Ken down and surely didn’t want him to change his mind about taking me fishing so I told him, ‘Sure I know how to pole! I didn’t know there was a school or instructional academy for such a thing’.
<br />
<br />
Hind sight being 20/20, I know understand exactly why he asked me this question. Saltwater fly fishing in Florida is all about sight fishing. The purpose of poling is to be able to stealthily stalk a fish that the person poling helps you spot from his elevated location on the boat. The person poling must maintain the perfect distance that strategically keeps you from spooking the fish and also allows you to stay within effective casting range. This is NOT an easy feat if you combine this with the task of being the eyes for the person you’re poling for.
<br />
<br />
We were fishing a mangrove line and I was way too concerned with where I was placing the pole for optimal leverage over the direction of the boat along with being overly careful not to hit the pole on anything on the boat that would scare the fish off that might have been laying under the mangroves. The result was poor Ken having to site the fish for himself while patiently waiting for me to get my bearings on how to steer the boat effectively. Sorry Ken, I promise I’ll get better with more practice! While watching Ken fly fish, I began to see the incredible presentation a fly offers in the water.
<br />
<br />
I always thought the fly just landed on the top of the water and you waited for the fish to inhale it from underneath. The particular fly Ken was working is called a ‘schminnow’ and actually sank slowly and allowed for realistic action as he slowly retrieved it. The goal while we worked this mangrove line was to spot a snook and land a fly right in front of its face. The strategy being that as Ken slowly retrieved the fly, it would coax the snook out of its hiding under the mangroves and we could watch it inhale the bait start to finish. This sounds easy in theory, but then there’s casting to take into consideration! Casting a fly is an art.
<br />
<br />
I would say it’s comparable to poetry in motion because it involves so many moving parts all working fluently together. As you work the rod tip back in forth in air, you also have to pull the line tight in order to achieve the tension needed to gain momentum and propel the lure an effective distance. If you’ve always fished conventional like I have, you’ll quickly notice this is a VERY un-natural motion in comparison to what you’re used to when casting. Ken was nice enough to give me a quick lesson, but I struggled the entire time. This simply isn’t something that you pick up over night.
<br />
<br />
I understood his instructions conceptually, but my bodies muscle memory was flawed from casting conventional lures for so many years. You might be able to learn to open a cast net perfectly in a day while practicing in your front yard, but I think casting a fly is something that the best fishermen continually improve on throughout their entire lives. Making your own fly’s is an art too. Ken showed me several of the flys in his arsenal and explained that some worked the top of the water column while others suspended/sank in the water column as you slowly retrieve them. Imagine how rewarding it would be to see a 40+ inch snook inhale a lure that you made with your own bare hands, ingenuity and imagination.
<br />
<br />
After reading this article you’re probably thinking to yourself, ‘that sure does sound like a LOT of work for a fish’. Truthfully that’s exactly what this kind of fishing offers; the ultimate angling challenge. It’s a leveling of the playing field between you and the fish that rewards you with an indescribable sense of accomplishment that can only be achieved through ingenuity, stealth and a lot of skill. Fly fishing is what separates the best inshore anglers from the rest of the pack.</div>

Is fishing a hobby you were hesitant to get started with? Do not allow yourself to miss out on a good thing any longer. This article is packed with useful guidelines that will help to restore the joy to your fishing trips. Keep reading to learn more about fishing.
<br />
<br />
If you tend to get a lot of bites in a given area, it's a great idea to use bigger lures in order to accommodate the bigger fish. The larger fish will be more likely to go after the larger lure or bait, so if you find yourself getting many bites, get a larger lure!
<br />
<br />

<br />
Always be aware of your surroundings. If you do not pay attention to your surroundings, you may have an unsuccessful fishing trip. Make sure you are quiet and settled before you cast. How strong is the wind? What is the temperature? How is the light quality? What's going on around you can dictate the best place to fish.<br />
<a name='more'></a>
<br />
If you have been fishing for awhile and aren't seeing any real results, then try switching up the bait to something that looks more real to the fish. There are a lot of brands of realistic bait that are becoming more popular today, such as Gulp.<br />
<br />
If you wish to avoid the stench that is inevitable after gutting a fish, you can just bury the remnants in the ground. This may attract animals to dig on your property so, another solution is to double wrap them and put them in the outdoor garbage.
<br />
<br />
There does not exist any perfect bait that can attract all fish, all the time. In order to catch a lot of fish, you need to know how to use the three major kinds of bait: worms, jigs, and grubs. For example, jigs do best in moderately murky water where their trademark motion is more likely to catch the eye of lurking fish. On the other hand, a plastic worm works well in water that is clear, since you will not have the need to use too much noticeable motion.
<br />
<br />
Fishing should always be done responsibly. Keep the environment you fish in as pristine as if it was untouched by man. If you take drinks and food along, don't litter. Check into local regulations when it comes to the amount of fish you can catch and follow them. Release the fish that are too young or small for eating.
<br />
<br />
Go at the right time and temperature to catch fish. When it comes to bass, bigger fish usually are out at both dawn and dusk since this is when their bait fish are active. When you are fishing during these times, be the water is warmer than 50 degrees.
<br />
<br />
When you are just beginning to fish, do not buy expensive equipment. You don't need the fanciest rod or high-end reel. Start out with an affordable quality rod. If you decide that you love fishing and are going to continue to do it, you can upgrade your gear at that time.
<br />
<br />
Wet your hands down before handling fish. Doing that will help prevent the fish skin from drying out. This is even more important if you're going to release the fish into the water.
<br />
<br />
Fishermen need to watch how the moon phases affect the fish they want. Full moons tend to make the best time for night fishing since fish tend to be very active around this time. Remember that this may also make you easier to see, which may require to you take additional measures to remain concealed.
<br />
<br />
<b>Bigger Fish</b><br />
<br />
Keeping bigger fish isn't always the best idea. Bigger fish may be older than the other fish, so you may want to send them back home instead of taking them to your home. They have absorbed more pollutants over time, meaning they're not healthy to eat.
<br />
<br />
Any fisherman needs to know how to set a hook. It is important to set the hook quickly and with some force, especially when fishing with lures. Unless you do not follow through to ensure that the hook is set properly, you may very well lose your fish!
<br />
<br />
Hopefully, these tips have provided you with new techniques and gotten you excited about your next fishing venture. It is important to realize that it takes time to get proficient, but if you put your new-found information to good use, you will achieve success.</div>
