The Value of Good Sea Fishing Tackle Line

The Value of Good Sea Fishing Tackle Line

How important do you think the line is on a good sea fishing tackle? Any experienced fisherman will tell you that a good line makes all the difference in the world when you are out there on a boat far off the shore and fishing in saltwater. A line that is just the right strength and weight and is kept in good condition on a sea fishing tackle will help you immensely in making sure that you get the fish you are struggling to catch right into your boat.

Unfortunately, even experienced fishermen can forget just how essential it is to keep the line on his sea fishing tackle in sound and working condition. Just like the rest of your fishing gear, your line gets exposed to extreme weather conditions when you use your gear to go out fishing. When left alone and uncared for, your line can get frayed and brittle. Using a frayed and brittle line on your sea fishing tackle can cause you to lose your catch no matter how hard you have hooked it and even if you almost have it inside your boat.

How can you, as a fisherman, avoid the embarrassment of losing your catch because the line on your sea fishing tackle is in a bad way? The simple response to that question would be to take care of your lines. Make sure that your lines and your reels and your other fishing gear are stored away properly after you return from a fishing trip. Put them away in a place where they could be worn down by the heat or by the cold or be made a sport of by bugs.

Also, before you set your boat out to the sea for a fishing trip, take the time to check on your sea fishing tackle at least a couple of days before the trip. See if your lines are fraying or if they have weakened. You can tell if you have a weak line by just pulling at it. If the line on your reel is weak, pay a visit to your local tackle shop and get yourself a number of new spools to replace your old line.

On your fishing trip itself, just use the appropriate leader and the appropriate lead weight on your line when you make your cast. The strength of the leader you should use depends on the type of fish you are trying to catch. The same goes for the weight of the leader you ought to use. Many fishermen use this rule of thumb: the strength of the leader should be ten times the weight of the lead. So, if you have a 30-pound leader, your lead should be three ounces only.

There is also an advantage to using a slightly lighter sea fishing tackle when you are fishing out at sea. Not only are you being kinder to your fishing line, but you are also presenting a more natural presentation to your intended catch. A light line on a sea fishing tackle will move more naturally in the water, and it will make it more enticing for the fish to bite.

Deep Sea Fishing – Fishing Rods for the Big Ones

Lighter fishing rods are usually fine for fishing in rivers, lakes, or even from the ocean shore, but when it comes to deep sea fishing for larger fish, you are going to need a much stronger rod. Fishing for marlin, shark, large sea bass or giant halibut takes a strong rod – one that can take the weight of the fish, and that can also withstand the time it takes to land one.

Many deep sea fishermen tend to find graphite to be the best material for a heavy duty deep sea fishing rod. Although graphite is not as flexible as fiberglass, it is extremely strong despite its relatively light weight, which means that it can stand up to the weight of a large fish such as a marlin or shark, and will not be so heavy that a fisherman gets tired too easily when fighting a fish for a long time. Although graphite is used to make all kinds of fishing rods, such as lake fishing rods or fly fishing rods, it is still a good material for a deep sea fishing rod – the rod simply needs to be longer, wider, and denser. Graphite is not the only material used to make deep sea fishing rods, but it definitely is a popular choice.

Fiberglass rods are also used for deep sea fishing, and their greater flexibility means that they can also withstand the fight between a fisherman and a big fish. Though not as durable as graphite, therefore not as long lasting as graphite rods, fiberglass deep sea fishing rods will still last for an acceptable length of time, and will be able to provide a lot of good deep sea fishing hours before they wear out.

One of the best places to look for a good deep sea fishing rod is, believe it or not, the Internet. Even if you don’t end up buying a deep sea fishing rod from an Internet web site, you can still find out a lot of information on the different types and styles, compare prices, and find out what accessories you need to go with your rod once you purchase it. Research is a key factor when you are buying something as important as a deep sea fishing rod; you don’t want to go on that deep sea fishing trip you’ve been waiting for all your life and then find out that you purchased an inferior rod. Take advantage of the information that you can get on the Internet, as well as the information that you can get from experienced deep sea fishermen and personnel at stores that specialize in fishing equipment – especially ocean fishing equipment.

Experienced cooks will tell you that one of the secrets to getting a good deep fried turkey is what you put on it before it goes into the fryer. Do some research and you will find a myriad of recipes for turkey rubs, and once again, which one you choose is a matter of personal preference. The bottom line is, though, that if you put a good rub on your turkey before you deep fry it, you’re going to get a finished product with better flavor.

Fishing – A Great Hobby For You To Enjoy

There are a great number of different types of fishing for you to choose from.

It is probably best if you have someone to take you for your first trip.

If you enjoy it you are likely to go again.

I was fortunate enough to have an uncle take me on my first fishing trip. We went float fishing on a river. After just a few minutes my uncle hooked a rainbow trout. He was kind enough to let me reel it in. I found this a great thrill. The trout was quite small so we put it back in. Although we were only at the river for a short spell, I enjoyed it so much that I went again with my brother and have kept on fishing for years now.

I think that the important thing with me was that my first fishing outing was successful, thanks to my uncle and this is what gave me enthusiasm to want to keep going back. The sort of fishing that I was introduced to was quite basic. Coarse fishing with a rod and line. Using a float to indicate bites.

I have always enjoyed the thrill of waiting for some movement of the float, and see it disappear under the water. I think this is one of the best moments in fishing for most anglers.

The moment that float disappears, signals excitement. Your imagination starts to work. You wonder if you have hooked a giant fish, and the moment you strike, you will know – if it is a big one your rod will bend and you will feel the weight of the fish!

This is what anglers wait for. That great moment when they have a nice fish on their line.

Next comes the pleasure of reeling it in. This can be a battle if it is a big fish.

You will need skill to play it carefully, without it breaking your line or getting off of the hook. Your quarry will often swim deeper trying to get away, and you will need to steer it away from reeds and other snags. Once it tires you will be able to bring it near to your landing net. This is when you will have your first sight of the fish. This is a great moment for any angler.

It is surprising how many fish get off of your hook, so it is only when it is landed that you can relax and savour your achievement. Once you have lowered your net under it and hauled it in, you will have a great feeling of satisfaction, because you have outwitted a creature with great guile and instinct. This is a bit like scoring a goal in football or potting a ball in golf, the same feeling of elation and achievement.

If you take a camera with you, it is always nice to record it. It is good to look at and remind you of the pleasure you had.

With digital cameras it is always nice to load them on to your computer and email them to your friends!

I was lucky in that my uncle also introduced me to sea fishing. When I was on holiday, we went on a boat trip. We went out a few miles and then when we stopped, I had my first experience of fishing from a boat. After a few minutes, I had my first bite. I was surprised at how strong the fish was.

My rod was bending and after a few minutes I could see an unusual looking fish near the surface.

My uncle pulled it over the edge of the boat. The unusual looking fish was a cod!

This was the first live one I had seen and it was great fun pulling it in. This one was big enough to take home. That is one thing I like about sea fishing, most of the fish you catch you can take home and eat, so you get the pleasure of catching it and eating it.

I think that the main thing is that I had a great experience on my first fishing trip and this encouraged me to keep going, so it is worth trying a few different types of fishing until you find one that you enjoy.

If you have not been, but are interested it is a good idea to ask a friend that goes fishing to take you along and introduce you to what could become a life long passion

The best gear for ice fishing.

The best gear for ice fishing.

Article by Justin G









The right gear can mean success or failure while ice fishing. To have a successful ice fishing trip you are going to need to pack the right gear as well as bring along the right friends. There are several ways to have fun out there in the cold and on the ice but the best way is to bring along good friends that are going to help you laugh your frozen butt off and toss back a few beers while you are doing it. Ice fishing gear is varied and there is quite a bit of it, if you want to bring more than just the basic essentials.

The basic equipment that you will need to survive and catch some fish are, very warm and very comfortable clothes for obvious lack of frost bite reasons. Gloves and hand warmers because after you pull a fish through the ice your hands are going to be freezing cold. Thick warm boots and possibly snow shoes depending on the conditions and how you will be getting to the location. Make sure that you pack extra socks, you might need them and if you do you will really appreciate that they are warm and dry. That covers keeping warm and cosy in the sub zero temperatures but if you want to actually catch some fish you are going to need some more gear.

First you will need a fishing rod or two, with sensitive tips but still have some strength just in case you haul in that huge one. There are ice fishing specific rods that you can buy which are shorter that regular rods but if you are on a budget you can use a regular rod. Be sure to bring some good line, four to eight pound test is usually a good fit. You are definitely going to need some kind of bait such as crappie minnows or worms. Bring jigs spoons and hooks to help you catch more fish if you need them. You can bring along bobbers if you don’t have a proper ice fishing rig which lets you know when the fish strike. Be sure to also bring some minor tools to remove the hooks, cut the lines or whatever you might need them for. I suggest a folding multi-tool. An ice scoop is required to remove any ice that forms in the hole that you cut with the auger or ice saw. Also you are definitely going to need something to sit on. A large bucket works great because you can haul you gear out in it and use it to haul you catch back home when you are done.

There is a huge amount of gear that you can bring to make your trip a lot more easier and almost luxurious. Some of this equipment is quite nice but the rest is just extravagant. This includes fish finders, cameras, cell phones, underwater cameras, strike sensors, and GPS equipment. Nicer pieces of equipment include, a fishing hut, a space heater, cleats for easy ice walking, flashlights and lanterns, lighters and matches, and something to check the thickness of the ice. Tip ups are nice to bring along but are not quite necessary.

If you are going out for a all day expedition you are going to need extras such as food and drinks. I suggest beer as a proper beverage. There are other things that you are going to want to bring such as sun glasses to protect your eyes from the glare of the ice and snow. Those are the best bits of equipment that I can suggest, but there are many variables that you are going to have to cope with yourself. These are things such as ice thickness, storage for gear and transportation because if you are driving a truck right onto the ice you can bring pretty much any thing that you want but if you are walking ten miles then you are going to have to think about what you want to carry for that distance. Most importantly though you are going to have to have fun out there. Why bother if you are not enjoying yourself?

How to Bait a Hook: An Abstract from Many Fishing Reports

How to Bait a Hook: An Abstract from Many Fishing Reports

A fishing trip is called a successful one if you have managed to bag respectable amount of wealth from the water. And the equipments that you are carrying will help you make the trip a successful one. You must have gone through many fishing reports that say to remember to choose your tools according to the fish that you are planning to catch. So this text piece will help you to understand some basic pointers about how to bait a hook.

The Hook Has To Be Sharp Enough
Sharpness of the hook is very important and thus in one need to sharpen the hooks and you will find hook sharpeners to sharpen them. It is good practice to change the hooks on a regular interval. This will help you to get good catches if your bats touch the bottom while casting. Sharp and new hooks make it easy to handle while it is drifting in the water.

The Bait Presentation Should Be Natural
The more you make your presentation a natural looking one, the more have the possibilities to catch more and more fishes. Now, bait presentation plays an especially important role in fishing and there are ways defined to use the baits accordingly. Like, if you are using worms as baits then you need to use a gang hook and it will help you to look your bait as natural as possible.

Hook Measurements
The measurements of the hooks are also an important thing to keep in mind. People who use live worms use larger hooks. Though it’s not that necessary technically. Anglers use larger hooks to thread the worms in the hook and by this way they avoid using gang hooks. But if your presentation is worthy enough you can catch big fishes with small hooks as well. And in fact fishing with small hooks are advisable as well.

The Extra Smartness Required
In this fishing report I would suggest using some smartness while baiting a hook and thus use gloves while tying a hook in the line. Because our hands carry special smells and if we don’t get rid of it, it may spoil the sport. And for this reason either you can use chemicals to make your hands free from scents or can use gloves while touching your fishing bait.

Fishing Hook Types
This is important to know the basic hook patterns. Anatomically a fishing hook has got parts called: eye, shank, bend, barb and pint. And the distance between point and shank is called gap. Broadly fishing hooks are segregated in section like single, double and treble hooks. They are also given names like Baitholder, Shark Hook, Circle Hook, suicide hook, Long Shank, Aberdeen, Carlisle, Carp Hook, Tuna Circle, and Offset Worm including others.

Basic Way to Ty Tie A Hook

Following are the steps to tie a fishing hook with the fishing line:

One needs to first pass the fishing line through the eye of the hook. And remember to pass it from the front and pass only an inch of the thread.
Now hold the shank in such a way that the you can wrap the half inch tab end with that trace. Wrap the thread with 7 or 8 turns
Now again pass the fishing line through the eye again from the back of the hook
Now pull it tight and keep on holding the hook which will help to set the snell
