Catching fish on a sport fishing trip is not everyone’s cup of tea and requires practice and precision to be able to be successful. You need a perfect beat and tackle boxes like fishermen who have their own secret techniques, which increases the chances of catching the fish.
Here are a few fishing hacks for you.
1. Differentiate Between Your Rods
Using colored tape and wrap it around your rod to differentiate them from each other. It’ll help you remember how heavy each rod is and you can decide to use them on different occasions for various fish.
2. Increase The Success Rate Of The Bait
Using fish and insects from the location as bait can help you increase your success rate as it is from the same ecosystem, which would attract the fish. You can also dip your bed into liver oil, which would bring more fish to the surface.
3. Use Different Baits
If you realize that your bait is not working you can switch it up and try your luck again. Some fish can be caught from different baits so you must be prepared. The fish are located in different ranges so your bait must reach that, which would require you do keep changing them.
4. Protect Your Equipment
Fishing in saltwater can ruin your equipment and replacing your fishing gear can be expensive. So, to maintain its quality, you can soak your saltwater reels in water after coming back from fishing to prevent any rust or corrosion. You can add silicon packets to your box to prevent any moisture or any other element from deteriorating your equipment.
5. Things To Keep In The Tackle Box
You must pack your tacklebox carefully with all the essentials. Keep a pair of nail clippers to save space that is important as it helps you cut the line.
6. Observe Your Environment
If youβre unable to catch any fish, you can observe the water or other surroundings. There might be a hindrance that is not allowing any fish to come to the surface. If you see the dolphins breaching the water or seagulls circling ahead the fish are most likely to be over there.
7. Techniques To Remove The Foul Odor
When you go fishing you bring back a different odor with you which doesn’t go away. Fishermen have used alternative methods like washing hands with salted water and running their hands across stainless steel to remove the smell. During the trip keep following SOPs to protect yourself as well.
