Deep sea fishing is a wonderful and highly gratifying activity. Here are a few tips that should make your salt water fishing adventure even more enjoyable. 1.Watch the Signs If you see birds e.g. Seagulls that are feasting on small bait fish, there are in all likelihood larger game fish below the surface of the water. 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 run across dolphin. 2.Looking for Tunas?, Find the Dolphins Yellowfin tuna are usually found schooling near 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 have 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 smaller, and the reverse point. They are generally 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: Steer clear of the boat fumes, breathing it only exacerbates the problem. 7.Stuck Anchor? If your anchor is stuck at 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: Many fishermen 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 fish, then why would you come up with the idea that the larger fish are there. Wouldn’t they be in the area that the bait fish are?
