Saltwater Fishing Tackle, Help and More

SALTWATER FISHING is often thought to be the ultimate fishing experience.   Many a freshwater fisherman has been spoiled for life by the thrill of hooking up with a trophy sized saltwater game fish.   Pound for pound, a saltwater fish will put up such a fight that even the most aggressive freshwater fish may seem like bait.

Experienced saltwater anglers and those who are fortunate enough to live near saltwater fishing grounds may already know much of what it takes to be successful at saltwater fishing.   However, for the majority of us, saltwater fishing can be a totally new and unfamiliar area.   Here are just a few tips to prepare for a successful day of saltwater fishing.

1. Plan ahead to fish from a boat!   Learn as much as you can about the saltwater fish you want to target and the geographical area in which you are going to be fishing. Saltwater fishing can often be seasonal. Find out when the peak times are for your best chance at catching fish.
2. Hire a guide or schedule a charter boat.   While this can be more expensive than going it alone, it will cost less than planning the saltwater fishing trip of a lifetime and not catching any fish.   Once you learn some of the tricks of saltwater fishing in a particular area, then by all means, venture out on your own and expand on your newly acquired knowledge.   Guides and charter boats will provide you with everything you need, including saltwater fishing tackle and bait. They will also know what types of fish are biting and where to find them.
3. Enjoy whatever you catch .   Everyone will dream big and hope to catch that 1,500 lb. Bluefin Tuna.   But, most saltwater outings will typically yield more fish in the under 100 lb. range.   Few anglers will complain about a full day of catching 10 to 20 pound Bluefish on light spinning tackle! Talk with your guide or captain before you book your day on the water. Let him know that you want to catch fish. And, if the monsters of the deep are not cooperating, you will want to switch to other tactics or another species that will provide you with some saltwater fishing action.
4. Planning ahead when fishing without a boat . If a guide or a charter boat is not in your budget, you can still enjoy the sport of saltwater fishing. But again, you must do your homework and plan ahead.   There are many opportunities for great saltwater fishing using your existing freshwater tackle and fishing from the shoreline, piers and bridges.   Find out what fish are going to be active at the time you plan to be there and what types of baits and lures are most likely to catch fish.   Local tackle shops are often a good source of information about who is catching what, from where and how they are being caught.   When saltwater fishing from the shore, remember that most saltwater fish are caught from about an hour before high tide until a few hours after high tide.

Finally, use your time traveling home to make up colorful lies about the size of all the saltwater fish you caught and especially about that one that got away!   Hey, that reminds me of the time a giant, man eating striped bass tried to swallow my outboard motor and I had to jump on his back and stab him with my pocketknife….

HAPPY FISHING!
