Saltwater Fishing
Strategies For Saltwater Fishing From The Shore
Did you know that saltwater shore fishing is an exciting way to catch many different species of fish? It offers opportunities that you won't have with any other type of fishing.
When shore fishing you can take a small boat out to the coves and other unpopulated areas to reach places where many species are just waiting for a serious angler to come along and entice them. You also have the option of fishing off rocks, piers, docks and the shoreline. This is great for people that do not have access to a boat every time they want to go fishing.
With all the different types of saltwater fish found in the oceans comes a variety of strategies to help you catch the most possible fish every time you go out.
When it comes to being successful a lot of saltwater shore fishing is based on experience and trial and error. However, there are a few strategies that can add to your success and help you improve your skills at saltwater fishing.
Strategies Used for Shore Fishing
One of the biggest problems anglers encounter is not being able to get the bait to where the fish are. Therefore, you need to try different methods until you find one that gets the bait in the middle of fish.
How deep you need to fish will depend on the type of species you are fishing for and the time of year you go fishing.
It is recommended that when using scent bait you change it often even if nothing has hit it. This should be done at least every twenty to thirty minutes. The reason for this is because after bait has been underwater for awhile it looses it smell and appeal preventing you from getting a bite.
When you notice that everyone around you is catching fish but you are not having any luck at all, try changing the size of the bait you are using. It is a good possibility that the bait will either be small or too big for the fish in that area.
When saltwater shore fishing, the retrieval is extremely important. If you reel in the line very slowly you have a good chance of snagging a fish on the way in. This has happened many times in the past.
Don't be afraid to experiment with shiny tackle and beads. Sometimes these will attract the fish faster than anything else you could use and you will never know how successful you can be unless you try.
Avoid populated areas where there are people everywhere. Not only will you be distracted by everyone around you but all the noise discourages the fish from taking the bait.
Early mornings and late evenings are the best times to go shore fishing. This is when the beaches and waters are less crowded and when the fish tend to be the most active when it comes to feeding.
Where to Search for the Saltwater Fish
It is well-known that different species of fish hang out in different areas and depths of the water. It is for this reason where to search for the saltwater fish of your choice will mainly depend on what species you are fishing for.
Still, there are some basic rules that apply that will narrow your search and make it easier for you to know where to begin.

What kind of rod for saltwater fishing?
We are going to the florida key west for spring break. We will have a boat to go fishing on. We will be fishing the bays mostly. (no deep sea, only 12 foot boat.) I have alot of fishing poles and I'm wondering which one I should take. How big should the pole be, and how thick? Keep in mind I might need to be able to tackle some really big tarpon. Should I bring my longest thickest pole or what?
Hi
You don't want a long pole on a boat. There are four main kinds of rods for general sea fishing
Beachcasters....long and powerful and they can cast a long way.
Spinning rods...short and light to medium length and strength. For shorter casts, and spinning.
Pier rods.... medium length, thicker and stronger than spinning rods. Mostly for ledgering.
Boat rods...shortest, thickest, and strongest rods you can buy.
All of them can be used for tarpon but long rods don't suit small boats, especially if there is more then one person on board.
Boat rods range from light ones rated around 20lb, medium at 30-50lbs, and heavy boat rods that go to over 100 lbs. They are mostly between five feet and eight feet long.
For tarpon a heavy boat rod or even better a specialist tarpon rod is safest for the giant ones but a heavy duty or medium duty spinning rod of around eight feet or a six foot boat rod of 20lbs rating is fine for the smaller ones.
Boat rods are no good for casting far. Mostly the line is sunk over the side of the boat using a multiplier reel or a large center spool reel and you can let the line drift in the current or move forward slowly with the boat to let more line out.
Spinning rods are good casters so if you get fairly close to a line of rolling tarpon you can sometimes cast right into them.
You can fly fish for tarpon as well, using a light or medium spinning rod to cast the fly. It can work well for the small ones and it's a fun way to catch them.
For very big tarpon you need a strong rod and reel and strong reliable line. Braided lines are best but they can be expensive for very good ones. It's specialist kit really, and quite expensive.
Here are some tips for tarpon fishing.
