Whether you’re a novice or a seasoned pro, all anglers can benefit from a few pointers from the pros. You can put more bass in the live well by following their advice, whether it’s a new twist on an old method or a way to get started.
Head to A Tackle Shop
You can get great fishing gear prices online. However, so much about fishing is feeling, and feeling is X-factor, subjective and difficult to put into words. Before you lash out on a major tackle purchase, head to an Online or Offline fishing tackle shop first and check it out – feel it.
Talk to a professional. A good one has a wealth of experience and information to share.
As a courtesy for their insights, make sure you buy something from the shop, a lure, or some terminal tackle.
They may even match the price you found online for the equipment you’ve got your eye on.
Wear A PFD
Fishing the ocean rocks is exciting and incredibly rewarding. It can also be very deadly.
We lose so many anglers unnecessarily because of poor decisions made while fishing the ocean rocks.
Wear a PFD, (personal floatation device). There are plenty of great designs that allow you to move about and fish unencumbered. It may well save your life.
Wear cleated boots or shoes. There are fantastic designs made especially for fishing the rocks. Again, they may well save your life or serious injury.
Keep Aware of the Ocean
It might sound obvious but plenty of experienced anglers make this mistake. Never turn are you back on the ocean when rock fishing?
If you’re rigging, get in the habit of looking up from the task every few moments.
Most importantly, ensure your peripheral vision is tuned to the ocean. A wave can come in seconds and sweep you and your kit away.
Look Nearby
Great fish can be sitting right at your feet, literally. There’s plenty of food on the shore break for smaller fish.
That means there are likely to be larger fish chasing the smaller fish.
Often there is no need to cast a country mile. You may well be casting over the catch of a lifetime.
Use Live Bait
Fish like their meals to be alive. It’s their preferred menu. If you are determined to catch quality fish, there is no better bait than live bait.
