How To Get The Most Out Of Your Deep Sea Fishing Trip
August 30, 2011 by Erwin · Leave a Comment
Deep Sea Fishing is one amazing experience that can be a very memorable one for you and your fishing mates.
However, it is an activity that is often not maximized.
What most people don’t know is that there is much more to deep sea fishing than fishing itself.
It’s really sad that trips like these are often not maximized.
To not commit such a common mistake, here are some of the ways that you can maximize your deep sea fishing trip to make it an even more momentous and enjoyable one!
Understand The Signs
Enjoying the sea itself and the wildlife around you is often overlooked by deep sea trippers. Try to be watchful of what nature around you is telling you.
If you can see birds, like gulls or other sea birds that are hovering over a specific area of water, then heed on it.
There is a big probability that there are smaller fishes usually used by fishermen as bait somewhere in that area. This could imply that there is yet another big probability that there would be bigger fishes beneath that area of water.
Try following these simple hints and indications and for sure you’d be having a catch in no time!
Be Watchful
You may also want to be on the watch for snooks during your trip. Try to look under ledges since this is one of their favourite hiding places. In fact, they have a similar behaviours and habits with bass.
If It’s A Full Moon, Do It The Crab Way
During full moons, crabs usually shed off their skins.
So if you’ll be deep sea fishing on a full moon night, you could try making use of soft crab imitations as your bait.
Doing this would definitely entice the stripers from their hiding places to go look out for
the crabs.
Want Some Tuna? Get A Dolphin!
If you’ll be fishing out for tuna, especially yellowfins, one good way to locate them is follow
where the dolphins are. Tuna usually school with dolphins, which is why if ever you see dolphins there is a really big probability that some tuna school would not be that far away.
However, it is vital to take note that you should be careful not to land on a dolphin even by accident, because dolphins are protected species, which should be treated with some respect.
Don’t Go Solo
Let’s face it, going solo with any kind of activity is not that always fun.
This is just the same with deep sea fishing.
So, if you really want to make something out of your trip, such as priceless memories and
enjoyable moments, then you should try spending the trip with some friends or family.
Battle Sea Sickness
If you have sea sickness or motion sickness, then a fishing trip can be a not so enjoyable activity for you.
However, you should not let this hamper you from enjoying such great experience.
That is why you should battle it.
If this is your problem, try looking at the horizon.
It might sound ironic and silly, but you should try to stay up on deck as long as you can; doing this can make it easier for you to adjust with the boat’s motion.
Additionally, staying away from fumes is advisable, since they could make you feel even worse.

Essentials To Know For A Fun-filled Deep Sea Fishing Trip
August 30, 2011 by Erwin · Leave a Comment
If it’s your first time to go for a deep sea fishing trip, there are some essential things to know to make it a fun-filled and successful one.
Here are some of the key points when having a deep sea fishing trip.
Overlooked Things To Bring
For sure fishing equipment, food and clothing are the ones that are always remembered by people to bring on a deep sea fishing trip.
However, there’s still some other stuff that a lot of people overlook bringing with them to a trip.
One good example would be a cooler.
Bringing one with some ice, icepacks or even frozen water bottles are very important, since this is what you’ll use to retain the freshness of your catch and keep it cold.
Another one would be spare cash.
Other than being vital for emergencies, you would need this just in case you get the biggest fish and you would have to get in on the pool.
You also need this for mate tipping purposes for providing you help throughout your excursion.
Also seasickness medicine would be important too.
Dramamine is one effective solution for that problem.
For those who are already used to boats, this kind of problem may seldom be encountered. However, it would still be beneficial if you pack a small first aid kit.
Try to bring band-Aids, stomach medicine, tissues, and disinfectants in the kit, just so in case minor injuries occur during the trip.
Best Locations For A Deep Sea Fishing Trip
Some of the best locations to have a deep sea fishing trip are: Bodega Bay and San Diego in California;
Wildwood, or Cape May in New Jersey; Boston and Cape Cod in Massachusetts; Daytona Beach, Destin, Key West and Miami in Florida; Freeport, Galveston and Port Aransas in Texas; Gloucester in Maine; Ocean City in Maryland; and Point Pleasant in New Jersey.
These spots can give you a variety of fish to catch.
They also offer you different views and experiences with nature.
Each spot can have their own pro’s and con’s, however, one thing’s for sure they are great deep sea fishing spots!
General Deep Sea Fishing Overview
In general, a deep-sea fishing trip could last about four to eight hours, or more depending on how long you want it to be.
You can arrange trips with your charter or party boast in the morning or afternoon. In fact,
if you have a special occasion, you can even schedule evening trips.
You can also do this if you’re the night owl type that might not be back to shore even
until wee hours of the morning.
If you’re having one of these late night trips, especially during the colder months bringing a thermos that is full to the brim with steaming tea, hot chocolate or coffee would be a great way to keep yourselves alert and warm during the trip.
Freebies On The Side
The great thing with deep sea fishing is that sometimes you can get freebies on the side.
Other than the adventure of being out in the waters, you may be graced with the appearance of some dolphins too.
There are cases in which you can also have a glimpse of sea birds that are chasing each other playfully.
However, the situation would not always be like this, since factors like location, weather, time of the day and how many people you are with on your boat could affect whether you’d see such blessings.

August 30, 2011 by Erwin · Leave a Comment

This city is filled to the brim with numerous thrilling entertainment opportunities.
Starting from its immaculate white sand beaches up to its world class museums, Miami would
never run out of activities to cater you.
Nevertheless, one of the most popular activities in Miami would be deep sea fishing.
It is an exquisite spot for such an activity because of the “Gulf stream”, which is a river that is part of the Atlantic Ocean originating from the Gulf of Mexico’s warm urrents.
The slightly warmer currents of this stream are actually utilized as a highway for different kinds of migrating fish.
You can choose from a great variety of fishes, small or big.
The most popular choices include: pan fishes, big game fishes, kingfish, and sailfish.
These and many more are prevalent in Miami’s turquoise waters.
Although there’s a lot of deep sea fishing charters that are available coming from Ft. Lauderdale going to Miami, there are those that stand out, which have credible reputations for class, comfort and catch!
Reel Adventure Charters

From the docks of Reel Adventure Charters, you’ll be in the Gulf Stream in no time!
In fact it only takes about 10 minutes travel time to go to the stream.
This advantage in distance makes their record for big catches quite an impressive one.
Charters are very comfortable, usually with a maximum of 6 people.
If you’ll be having a party of 2 or 3 only, you can then arrange for “split charters”.
They provide you with everything you need, except for your drinks and food.
Sea Cross Sportfishing
If you want a charter with the best modern gadgets and comfort, then the Sea Cross would be perfect for you.

Free Spool Sportfishing
Situated at Miami Beach’s north end, Haulover Bay, you can find Free Spool.
Their captain, a premiere fishing guide in Miami area, has been helping people to fish since 1986.
Whether you’re interested in fishing the reef, shallows, or off-shore, He could bring you
there.
Keys and Bahamas trips can also be arranged. However, they do not have “split charters”, meaning once you book for the boat, you would have it all for yourself; no more fishing with strangers.

Fishing Deep Sea For Yellowtail
August 30, 2011 by Erwin · Leave a Comment
One of the most popular fish targeted when fishing deep sea is Yellowtail.
The California Yellowtail along with the Southern Yellowtail, which is its cousin, are
Jack family members. Both are very tough customers for reel and rod.
Where To Find Them
The Yellowtail is to be found in central California and down south into the tropical waters.
In fact, this fish have been a staple in the Pacific fishery for a lot of years already.
How To Fish
Just like with most other kinds of fish, you have a variety of ways to choose from in able to fish for yellowtail.
A number of lures and baits would be needed such as squids, sardines, mackerels and the
most preferred one, anchovy.
Jig Fishing Technique For Yellowtail
Jig fishing for this fish could be very fun and is considered to be very productive by most people.
The Yo-Yo jig can be done by using a four to twelve ounce candy-bar type of jig.
Once you have the jig, drop it to the bottom, which is usually not any deeper than
200 feet.
When you feel that you already hit the bottom, try to lift your jig off of it for four to five feet. Repeat this several times, then being followed by a very fast retrieve all the way up to the surface.
It is important to remember that it doesn’t matter how fast you are cranking, since the yellowtail would always be much faster than you.
Once you feel that you’re bit, then there’s no mistaking it.
Once this happens, don’t set the hook and just continue reeling.
Once you feel that your catch is already swimming away from you, then that’s the time that you should set the hook.
Jig fishing enables you to fish using a much heavier line than your bait.
A 30 to 50 lb. test usually works pretty well. When yellowtails are feeding on the surface or near it, they would sometimes take surface iron.
Surface irons are jigs weighing 4 ounces or less.
They are retrieved with a much slower speed than the other kinds of jigs.
Using a live squid is the much preferred bait with this kind of jig.
In fact, when yellowtails feed on squid, they have the tendency to ignore all the other baits.
Using A Fishing Squid
Using a fishing squid is quite simple.
All you have to do is either tie the hook directly to the line or make use of a sliding sinker which is right on the bait.
However, the size of the weight you’ll be using is usually dictated by factors and conditions like currents and depth.
Find the pointed end of the squid and place the hook once through it.
However, take note that when fishing with squid, even small yellowtails are able to swallow it quickly.
That is why you should not let them swim far before you decide to set the hook.
Using Anchovies
If you’ll be using anchovy, then you should either hook through its nose or behind its gill, specifically on its bony collar.
They are weak swimmers, which is why you would want to make use of smaller line and hooks.
Using Sardines
When you’ll be using sardines, you can make use of the same rig.
However, this time around, you should put your hook through the sardine’s nose or on its bottom, just behind its vent. Your bait would tend to swim deeper, if you hook it on its bottom. Gone Fishing Deep Sea !!!

Deep Sea Fishing: Tips On Conserving Your Catch
August 11, 2011 by Erwin · Leave a Comment
So what is it exactly that you do with the fish you catch?
For some, they abide the philosophy of keeping enough for their meal and releasing the rest. The best fish would be the freshest ones.
Even though you’re not into cooking them yourselves, a lot of local restaurants can offer you preparations for a fresh catch meal.
Sitting down on a meal of fish that you just caught would be the perfect ending for one great
fishing day.
Most consider it to be one of the most satisfying things to do that anyone can accomplish!
Why Conserve?
Deep Sea Fishing
Fish is a renewable resource. Thus, proper management and techniques are needed to ensure their survival and the abundance of the resource for the future generations.
In fact, overfished stocks would require years of regulatory actions and monitoring to restore
its fishery level into one that is self-sufficient and self-sustaining.
Additionally, for every year that passes, there seems to be more restrictions in regards to the recreational bags.
Even size limits are imposed. All of these due to the occurrence of overfishing which is in
consequence of improved technology.
The Solution
Practicing the habit of catch and release is actually one of the ways in which recreational anglers like you could help ensure the health and prosperity of the future fisheries.
In this way, you can also guarantee everybody’s opportunity to have a fun day of deep sea
fishing that is concluded with a scrumptious and satisfying meal.
Here are some of the ways in which you can help ensure survival of the fish that you release and get some satisfaction by returning your catch to its environment.
Get Your Tackle Right
Deep Sea Fishing Charter
First off you should make sure that your tackle matches the fish you’re targeting.
Although it may not seem obvious, doing this can ensure its safety once you release it back into the waters.
If your tackle is too light, it would be exhausted by the moment you land it.
Thus due to its exhaustion, it could be a very easy target for predators when release it back to
the waters; since it couldn’t swim that fast anymore.
Customize Your Hook
Deep Sea Fishing Hook
Customizing your hook is yet another way to conserve your catch. By simply using a pair of pliers, you can mash down your hook’s barb.
Doing this would enable you for an easier release of the catch and better safety on its side. Another great addition to the terminal tackle you’ll be doing would be circle hooks.
When the catch swallows the hook, all you have to do is cut the line closely as you can to your hook, then release your catch as quickly as you can.
Don’t Suffocate It
Fly Fishing
As much as possible, while releasing your catch leave it in the water.
If there is no choice but to handle it out of the water, then be sure that you wet your
hands.
You should do this to reduce the removal of its protective slime layer that covers it.
The removal of this layer can make your catch susceptible to disease once it goes back to the waters.
Hold It Right
Handling the fish is important too.
You should make sure that you don’t grab it in its gills or eyes, since these are very sensitive areas that fish need for survival.

Deep Sea Fishing: Knowing Your Tides
August 11, 2011 by Erwin · Leave a Comment
It can sound weird but a comprehensive knowledge on tides and their effect on your deep sea fishing area can actually pay big dividends.
In fact, it is considered to be one key to being successful in the realm of deep sea fishing, by the experts.
A lot of fishing guides and deep sea fishing charter boat captains know this secret.
They even make close studies on currents, tides, and how they would affect fishing on their areas.
The Unknown Secret
However, sad to say, that a lot of informal deep sea anglers actually pay very little attention to such important details.
In fact, some anglers don’t pay attention at all! And then they would wonder how come
the other guy catches all the fish and they don’t.
Nevertheless, there are still those who realize that somehow tides can affect their deep sea fishing. However, they do not know exactly how and why this happens.
These anglers usually waste their precious hours trolling, casting and sinker bouncing even when the tide is not right.
However, the deep sea angler who knows his tides could pick in advanced the most
favourable fishing periods and concentrate on his efforts during those times.
This simply means you can have less of those wasted days and get more fish on
your deep sea fishing trips.
Getting Started
Deep Sea Fishing Charter
You don’t have to delve into tide’s science here, except to point out that tides are due to the
gravitational forces that are brought about the sun and moon. Since the moon is nearer earth, it has greater influence with tides than the sun.
Types Of Tides
Deep Sea Fishing Tides
Every time the tide is up, water would move towards land, which is also known as “flood tide”.
On occasions that tides drop, moving its way back to sea, is called “ebb tide”.
The period in which it doesn’t move either way is termed as the “slack tide”.
It usually takes a period of 6 hours for it to rise, and 6 to get low.
For every 24 hours these tides occur 50 minutes later than the last, approximately.
Variations
They also vary in regards to the degrees that they drop or rise.
The highest tides occur when the sun and moon are situated on Earth’s same side, creating a direct line.
Such kind of tide is called “spring tide”, which occur during new-moon and full-moon
periods.
During these times, both low and high tides are higher than their usual state. However, during the last and first quarter phases of the moon, tides don’t fall or rise or fall that much.
This is called as “neap tides”.
Which Is Which
So which of theses tides are helpful and which are not? To start off, most experts believe that moving tides or currents are most of the time more productive than having no currents or tides.
Thus, a “slack” tide would rarely produce good catch.
Using The Tides At The Right Time
You can take advantage of tides even more by knowing when to go.
The period in which an incoming tide starts is considered to be one of the productive
periods for deep sea fishing, especially if you are targeting for gamesters like bluefish, striped bass, channel bass, and weakfish.
During the periods of slack water, the small bait fishes tend to scatter, and having a lack of strong currents they are able to swim faster and escape their predators
Deep Sea Fishing Boat
However, when tides start moving, such small bait fishes are at the strong rips and current’s mercy.
Thus, they are easier to catch and find by stripers and other kinds of game fish.
When an outgoing tide starts is yet another good time do fish, simply for the same logic.
In general, the popular change of tide, whether it be low or high, is actually the best
time to do your deep sea fishing.
