Saltwater Fishing - The Challenges You're Going To Face

By Troy Jones


Regardless if you're fishing out in the sea or just in a river, you still have to get around certain challenges that come your way. When the fish finally turns up, it's necessary to have patience and try your utmost to catch that fish.

First of all, you will need to get a fishing license from your local government and the laws regarding fishing are different depending on what state you live in. A boat is also needed in salt water fishing. Depending on how many people join you, the vessel size would vary from a row boat to a yacht.

On the other hand, shore fishing can be done on a sailboat (fifteen foot), and there's a cuddy forward to which passengers can find shelter from the rain. The boat needs to be sturdy so that waves or bumps along the beach and rocks don't affect it but it shouldn't be too heavy.

In order for the fish not be scared away, start by throwing your line out at the edge and not in the middle. The fish in the middle will be encouraged if you stick to the edges. Having a cod line will be benefit for those who want to go down below. Another thing you can use is a perch line. You can also benefit from a mackerel jig if its mackerel fishing season.

The best time to start fishing is on ebb tide. That is early in the morning because that would make your day more productive and if the wind it light or fair, it would help you on your journey home. Try to find a spot where the locals go fishing. To have a successful day, that would be your best bet.

Many anglers would move from one spot onto the next and doing this may reduce your chances that day so you need to practice patience. Start from the shallowest spot to the deepest, throwing your line out a few times without changing your bait.

Your fishing chances can also be affected by sharks. If you're being followed by one, then pour fish blood onto a newspaper or paper towel. Throw it overboard once you've rolled it into a ball. The fish will return because the shark will follow the current and your likelihood of obtaining fish will increase.
