Tip of the week.

The next 4 fishing Tips we will be talking about the Moon phases.

As the moon revolves around Earth, it appears to change shape. This optical illusion is caused by the different angles from which we see the part of the moon's surface that is illuminated by the sun. The moon pases though 4 phases during a cycle that repeats itself every 29.5 days. The phases always follow 1 another in the same order.

First quarter:
We're seeing the moon from the "side." The right side is illuminated, and the left side is dark. During the time between the new moon and the first quarter, the part of the moon that appears lighted gets larger every day, and continues to increase until the full moon. A first quarter moon causes a neap time.

5 Tips for Success

“5 Tips for Success” is an article on how to improve your technique and knowledge on saltwater fishing.

1. I hear too many people saying “Whenever you get a bite, automatically jerk it up, to get it hooked.” I can’t stress enough that is not true. When you get a bite, just wait ‘till you get some tension then jerk up. I say this because, the fish could be biting on the other side, where the hook isn’t, then all you’re doing is scaring your catch away. And if you get some tension and you miss it, don’t reel it in all the way, because the fish might still be interested in your bait. So this proves that fishing does take patience.

2. Is Free lining good or is it bad? So many people have asked me that. And other people say what does “Free lining” even mean? Well free lining means to use no weight at all. I would suggest doing this if you are a wader or an inshore angler. I would say doing this because it presents the bait more naturally to the fish. Eg; When you cast, the bait doesn’t go strait down with a weight, rather is will float down with the current. And without the weight it will drift a long the current, where the fish are going. So why don’t you try free lining 1 time?

3. Boats can create noises, spooking fish, where waves slap against the hull. People moving around in a boat can create pressure waves coming away from the boat, alerting fish to your presence. Being able to cast great distances can get your lure or bait away from the boat, giving you an advantage over a shorter cast when fishing out of a boat. For maximum casting distance, consider using one of the ultra thin braided lines such as Power Pro. This thin line has virtually no memory, is far thinner than its monofilament pound test equivalent, and casts creating very little friction going through the eyelets of your rod. All of these factors translate into longer casts. You may also consider using a longer rod, perhaps 7’6”, for extra distance. If you prefer mono, be sure the spool is filled to within 1/8” of the rim of the spool. For even longer casts, consider dropping down in size of your mono line because thinner line casts farther. That long cast just may help you with catching a fish.

4. When you see seagulls hovering over the water, this means there are normally fish in that area. In order not to scare the fish, do not use your big motor when you get near the seagulls. Instead set up a drift or work your trolling motor as you get near or next to the seagulls in order not to scare the fish.

5. Just have fun fishing. Fishing is not a ‘who can do it better’ game. Just go out there and enjoy the beautiful weather.
