Heading Out For A Fun Day
Sunday, March 22, 2009
We are planning a big weekend out this coming weekend and me and some mates are busy preparing our supplies for a weekend of fishing. There is much to think about from making sure that the boat is fueled to having the right bait for the fish we intend to catch.
To make the whole exercise easier for us all we have dedicated each person (there are three of us) in charge of a section.
I will prepare the boat and all needed like fuel, safety vests, check the motor, tools, sunscreen, etc.
My mate number one will organize all food and the second friend will bring the drinks.
All of us are experience fishermen with years of practice both on the open ocean and on lakes and in rivers. We hope to catch some tuna this weekend since we are going to fish in tuna rich fishing grounds. One can never be too sure though so we'll see.
Here are some tips to increase your chances of catching anything:
- Use the correct bait and tackle. Time and time again I see people who rock up with the wrong gear. naturally they go home empty handed as a result. It is a shame because these people might never fish again. Speak to your local fish supplies shop to get a better idea on what you need for the fish you target.
- If you fish by hand from the shores do it when the tide is highest (or incoming). You will increase your chances of catching a nice supply of fish because fish bite bets in these conditions.
- Do not waste your time with trying to fish in a storm or when the weather is bad. Fish are shy creatures and will rarely bite in bad weather.
- Don't start your fishing career with the whole shebang of equipment. Get a feel for the sport before you buy all the gadgets and tools. You might not like it after all and then waste money as a result.
