Using Waypoints On Your Next Fishing Trip

If you have a GPS device, then you already know the many advantages of this technology. If fishing is your hobby or if you know someone who is an avid fishermen, why not get them a GPS handheld unit as a holiday gift? They will find this device easy to use and a great way to track hot spots and map out new ones.

While there are many types of GPS units out there on the market today, you should look for one that will give you depth measurements and basic coordinates. This will be helpful when you are fishing before daybreak in unfamiliar waters. Other options such as a color screen, detailed maps, and database of restaurants, motels, and hospitals are also very useful. Depending on the types of fish you are looking for, knowing the depth of different parts of the lake will help you find more fish. For example, some types of trout like to hide at the bottom of the lake.

GPS technology can also be used when fishing in waters that contain old ships, building foundations, fallen trees, and other large objects. By writing down coordinates and water depth, you will have able to fish along the edges of these objects and not have to worry about getting your lure caught. There is nothing worse than trying to get your line free from a tree branch or root when it is under the water.

You will also be able to monitor the movement of fish that are lurking underneath the water. This will help you find hot spots every time. You will be able to distinguish movement in order to determine if a fish is present or if it is a log or tree branch.

Before you begin your fishing excursion, you should enter in the coordinates where you place your boat in the water as your first waypoint. Not only will this give a point of reference for future trips, it will also help you in case there is fog or a sudden rainstorm and you cannot find your way back to shore. Waypoints can also be used for hot spots that you find during the day. Going back to these spots will probably yield you more fish.

Most GPS units can hold up to one thousand way points. This means that you can take several fishing trips in different areas and not have to erase your collected data. Some fishermen will keep a log of their coordinates and the places they have fished so that they can refer to it easily on their next trip. Log your coordinates the next time you go on a fishing trip. You will be amazed by the number of fish you will catch.

Some people will map out these coordinates and use them each time they fish. You can do this or you can make a list of coordinates you have visited already so that you can find other hot spots and not repeat the same ones. With a GPS tracking device, you will not become a better fisherman, but you will have more control over your surroundings in terms of finding those places where fish like to hide.

Teknologi Penangkapan Ikan Tuna

Teknologi yang digunakan dalam pemanfaatan sumber daya tuna disesuaikan dengan sifat dan tingkah laku ikan sasaran. Tuna merupakan ikan perenang cepat yang bergerombol. Oleh karena itu, alat penangkap ikan yang digunakan haruslah yang sesuai dengan perilaku ikan tersebut. Ada lima macam alat penangkap tuna, yaitu rawai tuna, huhate, handline. pukat cincin, dan jaring insang.
Rawai tuna (tuna longline)
Rawai tuna atau tuna longline adalah alat penangkap tuna yang paling efektif. Rawai tuna merupakan rangkaian sejumlah pancing yang dioperasikan sekaligus. Satu tuna longliner biasanya mengoperasikan 1.000 – 2.000 mata pancing untuk sekali turun. Rawai tuna umumnya dioperasikan di laut lepas atau mencapai perairan samudera. Alat tangkap ini bersifat pasif, menanti umpan dimakan oleh ikan sasaran. Setelah pancing diturunkan ke perairan, lalu mesin kapal dimatikan. sehingga kapal dan alat tangkap akan hanyut mengikuti arah arus atau sering disebut drifting. Drifting berlangsung selama kurang lebih empat jam. Selanjutnya mata pancing diangkat kembali ke atas kapal. Umpan longline harus bersifat atraktif. misalnya sisik ikan mengkilat, tahan di dalam air, dan tulang punggung kuat. Umpan dalam pengoperasian alat tangkap ini berfungsi sebagai alat pemikat ikan. Jenis umpan yang digunakan umumnya ikan pelagis kecil, seperti lemuru (Sardinella sp.), layang (Decopterus sp.), kembung (Rastrelliger sp.), dan bandeng (Chanos chanos).
Huhate (pole and line)
Huhate atau pole and line khusus dipakai untuk menangkap cakalang. Tak heran jika alat ini sering disebut “pancing cakalang”. Huhate dioperasikan sepanjang siang hari pada saat terdapat gerombolan ikan di sekitar kapal. Alat tangkap ini bersifat aktif. Kapal akan mengejar gerombolan ikan. Setelah gerombolan ikan berada di sekitar kapal, lalu diadakan pemancingan. Terdapat beberapa keunikan dari alat tangkap huhate. Bentuk mata pancing huhate tidak berkait seperti lazimnya mata pancing. Mata pancing huhate ditutupi bulu-bulu ayam atau potongan rafia yang halus agar tidak tampak oleh ikan. Bagian haluan kapal huhate mempunyai konstruksi khusus, dimodifikasi menjadi lebih panjang, sehingga dapat dijadikan tempat duduk oleh pemancing. Kapal huhate umumnya berukuran kecil. Di dinding bagian lambung kapal, beberapa cm di bawah dek, terdapat sprayer dan di dek terdapat beberapa tempat ikan umpan hidup. Sprayer adalah alat penyemprot air. Pemancingan dilakukan serempak oleh seluruh pemancing. Pemancing duduk di sekeliling kapal dengan pembagian kelompok berdasarkan keterampilan memancing. Pemancing I adalah pemancing paling unggul dengan kecepatan mengangkat mata pancing berikan sebesar 50-60 ekor per menit. Pemancing I diberi posisi di bagian haluan kapal, dimaksudkan agar lebih banyak ikan tertangkap. Pemancing II diberi posisi di bagian lambung kiri dan kanan kapal. Sedangkan pemancing III berposisi di bagian buritan, umumnya adalah orang-orang yang baru belajar memancing dan pemancing berusia tua yang tenaganya sudah mulai berkurang atau sudah lamban. Hal yang perlu diperhatikan adalah pada saat pemancingan dilakukan jangan ada ikan yang lolos atau jatuh kembali ke perairan, karena dapat menyebabkan gerombolan ikan menjauh dari sekitar kapal. Umpan yang digunakan adalah umpan hidup, dimaksudkan agar setelah ikan umpan dilempar ke perairan akan berusaha kembali naik ke permukaan air. Hal ini akan mengundang cakalang untuk mengikuti naik ke dekat permukaan. Selanjutnya dilakukan penyemprotan air melalui sprayer. Penyemprotan air dimaksudkan untuk mengaburkan pandangan ikan, sehingga tidak dapat membedakan antara ikan umpan sebagai makanan atau mata pancing yang sedang dioperasikan. Umpan hidup yang digunakan biasanya adalah teri (Stolephorus spp.).
Pancing ulur (handline)
Handline atau pancing ulur dioperasikan pada siang hari. Konstruksi pancing ulur sangat sederhana. Pada satu tali pancing utama dirangkaikan 2-10 mata pancing secara vertikal. Pengoperasian alat ini dibantu menggunakan rumpon sebagai alat pengumpul ikan. Pada saat pemancingan, satu rumpon dikelilingi oleh lima unit kapal, masing-masing kapal berisi 3-5 orang pemancing. Umpan yang digunakan adalah ikan segar yang dipotong-potong. Hasil tangkapan utama pancing ulur adalah tuna (Thunnus spp.).
Pukat cincin (purse seine)
Pukat cincin atau purse seine adalah sejenis jaring yang di bagian bawahnya dipasang sejumlah cincin atau gelang besi. Dewasa ini tidak terlalu banyak dilakukan penangkapan tuna menggunakan pukat cincin, kalau pun ada hanya berskala kecil. Pukat cincin dioperasikan dengan cara melingkarkan jaring terhadap gerombolan ikan. Pelingkaran dilakukan dengan cepat, kemudian secepatnya menarik purse line di antara cincin-cincin yang ada, sehingga jaring akan membentuk seperti mangkuk. Kecepatan tinggi diperlukan agar ikan tidak dapat meloloskan diri. Setelah ikan berada di dalam mangkuk jaring, lalu dilakukan pengambilan hasil tangkapan menggunakan serok atau penciduk. Pukat cincin dapat dioperasikan siang atau malam hari. Pengoperasian pada siang hari sering menggunakan rumpon atau payaos sebagai alat bantu pengumpul ikan. Sedangkan alat bantu pengumpul yang sering digunakan di malam hari adalah lampu, umumnya menggunakan lampu petromaks. Gafa et al. (1987) mengemukakan bahwa payaos selain berfungsi sebagai alat pengumpul ikan juga berfungsi sebagai penghambat pergerakan atau ruaya ikan, sehingga ikan akan berada lebih lama di sekitar payaos. Uktolseja (1987) menyatakan bahwa payaos dapat menjaga atau membantu cakalang tetap berada d lokasi pemasangannya selama 340 hari.
Jaring insang (gillnet)
Jaring insang merupakan jaring berbentuk empat persegi panjang dengan ukuran mata yang sama di sepanjang jaring. Dinamakan jaring insang karena berdasarkar cara tertangkapnya, ikan terjerat di bagian insangnya pada mata jaring. Ukuran ikan yang tertangkap relatif seragam. Pengoperasian jaring insang dilakuka secara pasif. Setelah diturunkan ke perairan, kapal dan alat dibiarkan drifting, umumnya berlangsung selama 2-3 jam. Selanjutnya dilakukan pengangkat jaring sambil melepaskan ikan hasil tangkapan ke palka.

Catch, Photo & Release S

Catch and release is a practice within recreational angling intended as a act of conservation. After a fish is caught it is unhooked and returned to the water before exhaustion or serious injury.

The history of catch and release dates back to more than a century ago in England, preventing targeted species from being eliminated in heavily fished waters. Early in the 1950’s catch and release was first introduced in the U.S. as a fish management tool in the state of Michigan for hatchery raised trout. Anglers accepted the idea fishing for fun rather than food. In Canada catch and release is mandatory for some species and require the use of barbless hooks to facilitate release and minimize injury.
Today catch and release is practiced by most all anglers, fishing guides, and promoted by fishing based organizations for Muskie, Walleye and Bass ensuring healthy fish populations for the future.
Here is a guideline for the key aspects of catch and release 
Use the correct tackle:
Fish with appropriate rod, reel and line for the species of fish your targeting. When catching a fish you want to minimize the fight time. The greater the time playing a fish the more lactic acid build up and exhaustion sets in for survival. If fishing in cover (weeds) or warmer water use a heavier line than normal to reduce stress for the fish.      
Bring your release tools:
Always carry needle nose pliers, hookouts, jaw spreaders and a small bolt cutter for larger fish. When landing a fish leave the fish in the water for the unhooking process to avoid any handling, if lip hooked a simple flick of the needle nose pliers should remove the hook. If a landing net is used, leave the net in the water when removing or cutting hooks. If the fish has multiple treble hooks embedded from a artificial lure, use the bolt cutter to cut the hooks, replacement hooks are inexpensive. If the hook is lodged deep in the gullet, never pull on the line or try to rip a hook out. Cut the line as close as you can to the hook or the hook itself. Jaw spreaders come in very handy for larger game fish aiding in the cutting or removal of hooks.
Catch and Release Nets:
All quality net manufacturers today have catch and release nets in their product lines. When selecting a net, hoop size, depth of net bag and type of mesh need to be considered for practicing catch and release and the assurance of fish survival after releasing. Using a larger hoop size and deep net bag will reduce the margin of error during the netting process and the extra net bag depth will allow for a portable live well during hook removal. The type of netting (mesh) is important in reducing the removal of the fishes protective slime layer while the fish is in the net. Today there are soft micro fiber knotless mesh, ideal for trout, bass and walleyes. Rubber mesh is an elastic soft molded rubber also used by bass and walleye anglers. Dip treated extra strong knotless mesh with a protective coating is used for musky, pike, salmon and large catfish. 
Barbless Hooks:
Use barbless hooks for quick easy hook removal and reduced handling times. Some anglers believe that using barbless hooks will cause too many fish to escape. When fishing barbless hooks concentrate on keeping your line tight while fighting a fish. You’re catch rate with barbless hooks will be as high as those achieved with barbed hooks. Barbless hooks can be purchased from several major manufacturers or can be created from a standard hook by crushing the barb(s) flat with needle-nosed pliers.
If fish are removed from the water for a photo or measurement, key aspects of proper handling include: 
Keep it wet:
Avoid touching the fish with dry hands or putting them down on dry surfaces ( boat gunwhales or boat bottom, docks, shoreline rocks and sand) Dry hands and surfaces removes the scales and protective slime layer leaving the fish vulnerable to fungal skin infections. Only touch fish with wet hands or using a wet towel.
Use proper holding techniques:
Never hang a fish from their jaws/mouth/gills vertically. Hold all fish horizontally and support as much of its body as possible to avoid injuring its internal organs especially larger fish.
Never grip a fish by the eye sockets if you intend to release it. By doing so you abrade its eyes, injure the surrounding tissue and may cause blindness
Learn the proper hand placement for holding fish under the jaw bone not in the gills. If you never held a large fish have a experienced angler or fishing guide show you, or have the guide hold your fish for the photo.
Measuring the Fish:
When you catch that trophy fish and your desire is to release it to fight again, but you wish to have the measurements for a fiberglass replica here’s what to do. If possible measure the fish in the water using a floating ruler or a tailor’s tape. Measure from the tip of the nose to the tip of the tail and around the girth of fish at the widest point of body. If you’re bringing the fish onboard for a measurement using a bump board (ruler with a stopper at one end) wet the ruler before you use it. The time for measuring and photo’s should be minimized to under 25 seconds.
For the sake of survival of the fish we discourage the use of conventional scales where the fish is hung by the jaw for weighing the fish to be released – it can damage the jaw or gills and places extra stress on the backbone and internal organs of the fish.
If you’re wondering how much you’re catch and released trophy weighed. We have a handy fish weight calculator to determine the approximate weight of your catch. Just Click Here 
Releasing the fish:
Place the fish gently back upright in the water, holding the tail and supporting it’s weight by placing your hand under the belly, gently roll the fish side to side allowing it to get its bearings and catch its breath until it is fully able to swim off under its own power. If current is present it is important to face the fish into the current thereby allowing fresh, oxygenated water through its gills. Do not try to release or revive a fish using a thrusting forward/backward motion, the backward motion will suffocate the fish. 

---

Photo Tips

As catch and release fishing is growing in popularity amongst anglers, photography has become the most important way to record a trophy fish or a memorable moment from a fishing trip. A good quality photo will give you a reference for the fish’s exact coloration and particular markings, a skilled taxidermist can create a fiberglass lifelike replica mount or commission a custom trophy portrait that encompasses the entire story behind the catch, both are worthy of “fine art!”

The following few tips will help you take better pictures the next time you go fishing.
Before lifting the fish out of the water, have your camera turned on and ready to shoot. Don’t hurt the fishes chances of survival by keeping it out of the water for too long. 
Shooting angles, always have the sun behind the photographer, natural sunlight provides the best light with rich warm uniform colors and tones.     
Always use the fill flash, even during mid day when the sun is at it’s peak. Using fill flash will add light to shadowy area’s of your photo. 
Push back the hat and take off the sunglasses to remove the shadows hiding the anglers face, and remember that SMILE!
Don’t have the angler hands obscure any portion of the fish especially the head
Take a few photo’s to ensure that you get at least one good shot.

Black Bullhead

Black bullhead
Conservation status
Not evaluated (IUCN 3.1)
Scientific classification
Kingdom:	Animalia
Phylum:	Chordata
Class:	Actinopterygii
Order:	Siluriformes
Family:	Ictaluridae
Genus:	Ameiurus
Species:	A. melas
Binomial name
Ameiurus melas Rafinesque, 1820

The black bullhead (Ameiurus melas) is a species of bullhead catfish. Like other bullhead catfish, it has the ability to thrive in waters that are low in oxygen, brackish, turbid and/or very warm.^[1] It also has barbels located near its mouth, a broad head, spiny fins and no scales. It can be identified from other bullheads as the barbels are black, and it has a tan crescent around the tail. Its caudal fin is truncate (squared off at the corners).^[2] Like virtually all catfish, it is nocturnal, preferring to feed at night, although young will feed during the day. It generally does not get as large as the channel or blue catfish; with average adult weights are in the one to two-pound range, and almost never as large as five pounds. It has an average length of 8-14 inches, with the largest specimen being 24 inches, making it the largest of the bullheads. It is typically black or dark brown on the dorsal side of its body and yellow or white on the ventral side.^[2]
Like most of the bullheads (and even the cousin flathead catfish), it has a squared tail fin, which is strikingly different from the forked tail of channel and blue catfish. It is a bottom-rover fish, meaning it is well-adapted for bottom living. It is typically dorso-ventrally flattened, and has a slightly humped back.^[3] Its color will depend on the area where it is taken, but it generally is darker than brown or yellow bullheads. It can be distinguished from a flathead in that the black bullhead's lower lip does not protrude past the upper lip. Distinguishing it from the brown bullhead is a bit more difficult, depending on the area where they are caught, but a distinguishing detail between the two includes a nearly smooth pectoral spine on the black bullhead with the brown being strongly barbed. The anal fin also has a gray base, and the tail also has a pale bar. Also, the brown bullhead will generally have 21 to 24 soft rays through its anal fin as opposed to the black bullhead's 17 to 21. The brown bullhead is also typically mottled brown and green on top instead of the darker black. Both the black and brown bullheads can easily be distinguished from the yellow bullhead as the yellow bullhead has white barbels under its mouth.^[4]

Habitat

Black bullheads are found throughout the central United States, often in stagnant or slow-moving waters with soft bottoms. They have been known to congregate in confined spaces, such as lake outlets or under dams. They are very tolerant fish, and are able to live in muddy water, with warmer temperatures and in water with lower levels of oxygen, which reduce competition from other fish.^[4] Black bullheads also occur as an invasive species in large parts of Europe.^[5]

Diet

They are omnivorous – will eat almost anything, from grains and other plant matter to insects, dead or living fish and crustaceans. They have short, pointed, conical teeth, formed in multiple rows called cardiform teeth. Black bullheads have no scales; instead, they have about 100,000 taste receptors placed all over their bodies. Many of these are located on the barbels near their mouths. The receptors help the fish to identify food in their dark habitats. During the winter, black bullheads will decrease food intake, and may stop eating all together. Instead, they will bury themselves around the shore line of the lake in debris, with only their gills exposed. This "hibernation" allows them to survive conditions of low oxygen and low temperature.^[6]

Reproduction

Black bullheads will start to spawn in April and continue through June. The females will scoop out a small hole or depression in the lake floor and will lay anywhere from 2000 to 6000 eggs. The males fertilize the eggs, then care for them. When the eggs hatch a week later, both parents will watch over the fry for a short while.^[2]

Angling

Considered rough fish, black bullheads are seldom caught for sport. Their flesh is pale in color, and has a good flavor, but it may be soft in summer. They are the largest of the bullheads, and are one of several catfish informally referred to as mud catfish. They are not caught often, and usually it is by accident. They have been introduced in many areas of the US because of their ability to survive (and even thrive) in less than ideal conditions, but they are seldom used in active stocking programs due to their relatively low desirability.
Black bullheads can be caught using similar techniques as for channel or blue catfish, although their small size may require smaller bait and hooks. Like most catfish, they are most active during the night, and tend to be less active during the day, bedding under piers or in shady shore areas.
In some areas of little to no fishing pressure, black bullheads have been found to be more aggressive and have been caught while casting and retrieving metal spoon lures.

Defense

At the base of their pectoral and dorsal fins are spines, which they can use as spurs to cut predators

Tip dan Petua Mengelak Mabuk Laut

Rasional – mengikut pakar perubatan. GINJAL dibelakang telinga memainkan fungsi penting dalam menseimbangkan tubuh badan. Digalakkan mengurut ginjal dibelakang telinga terutama bila mula merasa pening. Menggerakkan kepala ke kiri dan kanan selain melakukan senaman ringan mampu menghilangkan rasa mabuk laut.

1.Bagi nelayan, MINUM AIR LAUT dikuala mampu menahan diri daripada mabuk laut. Boleh diminum hingga ‘sendawa’ dan boleh juga sedikit sahaja kerana ini boleh menahan tekak dari merasa loya.

2. Syor nelayan dan TLDM, agar orang yang mabuk laut, TERJUN DAN MANDI LAUT tapi mesti pandai berenang. Dengan menyelam beberapa ketika badan dan kepala akan menjadi segar semula.

3. OREN SUNKIST juga berguna. Ada orang kata,limau tak boleh dibawa kelaut, takut ribut. Kita hanya perlu bawa kulit Oren Sunkist saja. Kalau boleh kunyah kulit Oren berkenaan sepanjang berada di laut. Kalau tak sanggup, kunyahlah sebelum perjalanan dan jika terasa loya semula, kita kena kunyah lagi.

4. Cuba makan KELEDEK MENTAH. Rasionalnya mudah, keledek mentah mempunyai sedikit getah yang boleh membuat mulut kita tidak rasa loya.

5. Makan PISANG KELAT. Rasionalnya sama seperti keledek. Untuk lebih mujarab, titiskan sedikit air limau sebelum memakannya.

6. Selit kan SAYUR KANGKUNG dipinggang atau poket.Pastikan ia tidak jatuh sepanjang kita memancing.

7.Tumbuk LADA HITAM yang dicampur dengan HALIA BARA, kemudian sapu diperut terutama bahagian pusat sebelum ke laut.

8. Sebelum memancing , jangan minum minuman yang BERKRIM ATAU BERSUSU. Seeloknya bawa AIR OREN sebagai minuman semasa memancing.

9. 5/6 Jam sebelum naik bot jangan makan makanan berminyak saperti Kerepok Lekor Goreng, Pisang Goreng atau yang bersamaan.

10. Semasa diatas bot jangan pandang kelantai bot lama-lama, sentiasa padang kearah sekeling saperti pulau, bot disekitar atau jika waktu malam pandang cahaya lampu bot lain, cahaya di Pulau  atau cahaya lampu di daratan.

11. Elakkan bau asap eksos bot (minyak disel), sebaiknya duduk dibahagian depan bot ketika dalam perjalan pergi/balik.

12. Mabuk laut akan terasa bila bot berlabuh / 'Parking", jika rasa mual keluarkan muntah sehabisnya dan relak tidur2 ayam serta sapu minyak angin banyak2 di hidung, telinga dan kawasan muka.

Fishing Boat Accessories - Things You Need Before You Go Fishing

By Abhishek Agarwal 

A good fisherman needs to stock up his boat with a lot more than just a fishing rod. In today's world there are tones of accessories out there that can make one a true threat to the aquatic wildlife. With a wide variety of accessories, that range in sizes, types and models, one can easily find the accessory which best suites him. There are a variety of different accessories to make your boat an elite fisherman's joy and pride.
The very first thing a good fishing boat needs is a well-bolted solid chair. A simple one can suffice, though of course there are many choices and one can get a high-end model plush with various amenities. A good chair will allow one to be safe and help you reel in that big catch. The next thing one should look for is bait well, bait well allows you to store that messy bait in a convenient fashion and helps you save time and energy, so that you can concentrate all your efforts on fighting that fish. After that one should consider getting a live well, where one can store all their catch and keep it fresh and alive till you reach shore. Also it saves you from the trouble of lugging around large buckets that are hard to carry or can easily get knocked over. Additionally when you're out there fishing the big catch, you don't want anything to get in your way.
If your boat is big enough and you've still got money to spare, then the next item on your list is a freezer. A freezer can serve many purposes, including keeping bait and catch fresh. This means that the meat would taste a lot better when you get back to shore, also a freezer, particularly a chest freezer can also be used as a work surface. While a live catch well also serves this purpose, a good freezer is far easier to manage and works just as well.
Commercial fishermen, or those who fish for a living, have a slightly extended list of items that they should get. A flash freezer allows you to keep your catch extra fresh, as it freezes it in a second. Freezers become especially important when trying to catch large amounts on a small boat, as live wells then become almost impossible to maintain. Now, saving the best for last, one of the most important fish accessories for any fisherman is a fish finder. This handy tool helps fisherman locate the best catch around and makes fishing an all-together more enjoyable experience.

Salt Water Fishing Equipment - 20 Tips To Buy The Right Type

By Abhishek Agarwal 

Angling of different sorts in the fresh water lakes most oft requires simple equipments like rod, reel and bait. However, this angling is done using different methods of angling.
The saltwater fishing is quite a unique experience with a real feel and style. Though it is far less famous as compared to the fresh water fishing, salt water fishing as well is quite much fun and exciting means to fish.
Here are the key features of the equipments used in the salt water fishing as they are somewhat different from their fresh water options:
1. The saltwater fishing equipments are fundamentally just like those of their freshwater correspondents, but they out to be far stronger and durable.
2. Saltwater fishing equipments must be strong enough to handle the weight of the fish that are much heavier than their fresh water counterparts.
3. These equipments must also be able to take up the effects of salt of the waters.
4. Next, you must be sure as to which fish you wish to angle as this would effect the equipments you have shop or hire on rent.
5. The reels that are made to fish in saltwater are generally open faced rather than being closed.
6. These open reels are used in quite a different way as compared to the freshwater angling.
7. The reels meant for saltwater are generally made of the tough and durable metals.
8. These metals are specially treated so these can withstand the rust and other related ailments.
9. Their durability is such that even with that blue marlin, the reel would not shatter in to pieces.
10. Similarly the rods meant for salt water are also made very strong and durable.
11. The manufacturers use reinforced composite materials to create salt water rods that are strong enough to maintain the structural integrity of the equipment while reeling a 50 plus pound fish.
12. Actually as the salt water lakes and sea are full of the big fish, so the test of these fishing lines must also come out to be stronger.
13. Saltwater fishing actually requires line tests for a 100 pounds or more, as this is the minimum to catch just any thing in a sea.
14. The saltwater fishing equipments are much bigger in the size as well.
15. They are durable and reliable for all sorts of angling, absolutely down to the hooks.
16. The hooks that are used to catch the large salt water fish are about 10 times as compared to any normal fishing hooks.
17. These hooks must also have a good grip to catch the fish.
18. These are strong enough to handle the ferocious fight of the heavy fish as well.
19. The salt water hooks are made of very strong metal compound that is quite stronger that the metals used to make the hooks for fresh water fishing.
20. The salt water fishing hooks are generally baited with the minnows or the other small fish that are used to lure the hunt.
Saltwater fishing is a fun event that can give you memories to cherish for years together. Try it once and feel the experience!
