How To Get Started With Salt Water Fishing

By Johnathan Black


Fishing seems so darn simple, but once you get to the water with your pole, you may find that it isn't as easy as it seems. If you'd like to know how to be a better fisherman, without having to shell out hundreds for seminars, books or videos, read on.

Try to bring in your fish as quickly and easily as possible. This will help ensure that the fish is not too tired once you real it in. If you wear the fish out by not landing it properly, when you release it back in the water it will potentially die from the stress.

Limit the amount of fish you catch. While fishing can be a great, relaxing hobby, it is generally considered very bad form to catch more fish than you intend to eat or share. If you are simply catching for sport, then you should release the fish you catch back into the water. This will help you to enjoy the sport and leave fish for others.

Attain a good fish finder, if you are fishing from a boat. It is an essential piece of equipment. This will allow you to see what the bottom of the water looks like so that you can see which areas are more likely to contain fish. They may also allow you to locate bait fish that are suspended between the bottom and the surface.

When fishing, it is very important to keep noise to a minimum. Believe it or not, fish are extremely sensitive to noise. If you are sitting on the side of a lake or pond fishing, keep your voice level low and do not have a radio beside you blaring music or the ballgame. If you are fishing from a boat, refrain from banging around inside of your boat and from tossing your anchor noisily overboard.

In Spring, during the early morning hours fish do not bite. At this time the water is too cold and the sun does not heat it up because the sun is low, the rays simply bounce off of the water. Fish will be biting soon, though. After thaw, wait about a week until the water turns over and the temperature gets up to 39.2 degrees.

Learn the role that the wind plays in the movement of fish. Smaller fish are strongly influenced by the direction of the prevailing wind. When the wind comes from the north, for instance, they will end up in the southern part of the water. The larger fish will, of course, follow their prey.

One of the most relaxing past-times millions of people enjoy is fishing, yet it can be frustrating to anyone who isn't successful. This guide has a lot of tips that you can use the next time you fish, so you should not worry a lot at all. Instead, focus on having fun and enjoying your trip!
