What You Need To Know About Salmon Fishing - How To Catch The Big One

By Ulrick S. Amazon


One of the most challenging fish to catch, as well as one of the largest, is a salmon, something that all people should try to catch at least once in their life. Salmon come in a variety of types, living in both sea water and fresh water - they live throughout North America in a variety of locations. This article has several tips and strategies you can follow to help you become a triumphant salmon fisher.

You should realize that fishing for salmon in freshwater is different from saltwater fishing. Differences include choosing different fishing tackle, equipment, and even your boat! Saltwater is very rough on equipment, and if you don't have the right tackle, it won't last long. So if you're going to be fishing in the ocean, make sure that your rods and reels are made from materials that don't easily corrode. Graphite is a durable material that many fishing reels are made from. If you use metal reels, they will corrode in the saltwater. Saltwater is even tougher on boats, which means that you have to frequently check your motor. Fishing on the ocean can be problematic as you can see, yet by hiring a charter boat and experienced fishermen, you can avoid most of these situations.

Fishing tackle for salmon should always be durable and strong, something that you may not have to worry about with many other fish. If you buy low cost tackle for your salmon trip, let's just say that this is not going to help you land "the big one". These fish are smart, so your fishing line needs to be virtually invisible. Remember, if the fish can see your line, they're going to be scared off and they aren't going to bite. The top choice for many fishermen is Fluorocarbon line because it is so hard for the fish to see. So if you go salmon fishing, you need this line; it also does not get tangled very easily.

Salmon fishing can also be fun if you go trolling; it is fun to be in a moving boat when you're fishing. If you are able to get some herring or anchovies for bait, you will probably catch a few salmon because they enjoy this type of food. Many fishermen today use electronic fish-finders to make trolling easier. By using these devices, you can go directly to where the fish are instead of fumbling around all day looking for a spot where the fish are actually swimming. Another way to find fish quickly is to hire a guide that can take you to where the fish are. To find the best spots, just use a guide and you will have a trip to remember.

Fishing for salmon will be a great experience for you, especially if you follow some of the tips in this article. When you decided to go fishing, and you are at a new place, you may want to try asking people where the best fishing holes are. Even if you decide to go fishing by yourself, you should still consider chartering a boat to take you to where the salmon will be. You may be able to find what type of salmon will be in your area, and where you should go fishing, simply by checking the Internet for this info.
