Fishing boats, rods and reels? Don't fret your fishing dreams have come
true!
Deep sea fishing is done far out in the ocean. There are many
deep sea fishing grounds in the world's oceans. Deep sea fishing excursions are
best done by charter.
You can deep sea fish for a wide range of fish
species, including cod, wolf fish, haddock, halibut, Pollock, cusk, tuna,
shark, sailfish, swordfish, rockfish, marlin, dorado and wahoo. For deep sea
fishing you will need very heavy equipment, including rods and reels. Reels
must be able to hold up to 300 yards of line. Line should be between 12 and 30
pound-test, depending on the targeted species. Inexperienced deep sea fishing
anglers should always use 30 pound-test line. Skilled anglers will find that
using a 12 pound-test line presents more of a challenge. Be sure your rod, reel
and line balance in size. Hook size should run between 3.0 and 6.0. Leaders
should be between 10 and 15 feet long and be tied to a double line. All leaders
used for deep sea fishing should be between 30 and 50 pound-test.
Live
ballyhoo is a good all round bait for sailfishing. Bigger deep sea fishing
baits include speedos, blue runners and googleyes, cut bait, dead bait rigs and
lures, however live bait is best. The best rule of thumb for bait is to present
the fish with natural prey. This is the smaller fish that the targeted species
feeds upon. Sandperch, threadfin, herring, pilchards, hermit crabs, lugworms,
mackerel, mussels, shrimp, squid, sandeel and mullets are all good bait for
deep sea fishing. Grouper, kingfish, snapper, tuna and wahoo will all take
these baits.
Never handle your bait after applying sunscreen without
washing your hands with non-scented soap and water. In fact, the less you
handle deep sea fishing bait, the better it is. Do not use bait that has scales
missing or if there are red spots around the nose. Deep sea fishing baits are
easily found around fish cleaning tables, markers, bridges and docks. If you
can't find bait, watch the seabirds. They fly in tight circles and dive in
spots where bait is plentiful. If pelicans dive and immediately bring up their
heads, they've found herring or pilchards. Seabirds can tell you where bait can
be found.
The gear you will need will depend partially on where you
are deep sea fishing. No matter where your deep sea fishing excursion is, be
sure to take rain gear to protect you in inclement weather. When booking your
deep sea fishing excursion, be sure to ask the charter company what you should
bring along. Most of them provide a list so that you will bring everything you
need.
Use caution when chartering a deep sea fishing excursion.
Be sure the company is in good standing and that they have the proper permits
and insurance. They should have been licensed at least two years and willingly
provide references. If they hesitate, continue your search for a charter that
is right for you. Charter companies should provide safety equipment and be
fully bondable. Don't hesitate to ask for proof of licensing, insurance and
bonds. If you have trouble choosing a charter company, ask someone who has
previous experience for a recommendation. This could be a family member, a
friend, a neighbor or a member of your fishing club.
