Deep sea fishing is a wonderful and highly gratifying sport. Here are some tips that will make your salt water fishing adventure even better. 1.Watch for Signs If you see birds e.g. Seagulls that are feasting on small bait fish, there are probably larger game fish below the surface of the water. You should also look for floating wood or debris. In most cases when you chance upon a large piece of floating wood, you could find a large game fish in the area even encountering dolphin. 2.Looking for Tunas?, Find the Dolphins Yellowfin tuna are usually found schooling with dolphins. So if you see a group of dolphins there is a good chance there are some tuna in the area. 3.Cut and Burn If you run into trouble cutting through a spiderwire braid, try using a lighter or a match. 4.Good Reef One of the best place to fish is near a reef since big game fish feed on fish that live on reefs. 5.Circle Hooks Use a circle hook if you are looking for a higher hook-up ratio. Circle hooks guarantee more catch, because of the minute gap, and the inverted point. They are more often than not better for the fish since they most often do not hook in the gut but the lip. 6.No Sea Legs? Try watching the horizon and stay on deck. This will generally help you if you’re having trouble with sea sickness: Stay away from the boat fumes, breathing it only aggravate the problem. 7.Stuck Anchor? When your anchor is stuck on the bottom, try attaching a float to it and come back after the tide has changed in direction. This should be enough to loosen the anchor. 8.Fish where the Fish Are: A lot of anglers have the idea that they should be catching their baits over the reefs before going to deep waters. If the live baits are not in the area you’re planning to catch the larger games, then why would you come up with the idea that the larger fish are there. Shouldn't they be in the area that the bait fish are?
