Tips for Salt Water Fishing

Fish detect a meal in three ways — by scent, sound and movement. Fish use sound to communicate and find prey. Since sound travels faster through water than through air, fish can hear friends and food or saltwater lures that are a long way off. Scent is another powerful weapon for fish; they can pick up one particle of scent and use it to hone in on prey, communicate danger or navigate through the water.

Fish actually have a sixth sense that humans do not. The lateral line running down each side of a fish is filled with tiny hairs that can detect movement in the water. A fish can pick up a moving object, such as a fishing lure or bait, even in complete darkness. Just before it strikes, the fish will use sight to check out its victim. Even in clear water, fish can only see about 15 feet, but they can see colors and shapes. Finally, a fish will use its highly sensitive sense of taste to verify that what it has eaten is actually edible. To fool a fish, you must first fool all of its senses.

Live Saltwater Fishing Bait

When trying to trick a fish, nothing beats live fishing bait. Live bait may be hard to catch and hard to keep, but it's hard to beat when targeting finicky fish. Whether you catch live bait with a hook or a net, avoid touching the bait before putting it on the hook. The live well in which you store your bait should simulate current, oxygen content and temperature of the bait's natural environment. You can transport bait short distances in a bucket with a battery-operated aerator. When fishing with live bait, use the lightest hooks, leader and line possible to avoid further stressing the fish. Passing the hook through the bait fish's lips, eye sockets or nostrils will allow it to swim most naturally. Hooking the bait in front of the dorsal fin will encourage the bait to swim down. For delicate bait fish, tie a bridal out of rigging floss to hold the hook.

Hi my friends,

thank you all for your kind comments to my post a day ago. I had no time yesterday to post anything, it was a pretty busy day for me. But I'm back now and I hope you enjoy reading this one about salt water fishing. I'm not a fisher at all, I have just captured that guy at Cocoa Beach recently, while he was trying to catch some living baits. It took him long to get something out of the water - it's looks like that's something that people only with a big patience can do. I'm not one of them...*smile*...

Have all a wonderful day and Sunshine to you!

Hi my friends,

thanks for writing me such kind comments and compliments on my blog. You brighten up my day - because it's dark and rainy here in Florida where I'm sitting just now. And more rain is predicted for in the later afternoon. Anyway, one day... the sun will be back for sure, it's the Sunshine State and the name only is promise enough, right? :)

Let the sunshine in - and see you tomorrow again.

Dancing waves....

The world is full of poetry. The air is living with its spirit; and the waves dance to the music of its melodies, and sparkle in its brightness.

Hi my friends,

Thank you very much for your kind comments to my last post, your visits are always appreciated. I'm glad I made you smile with my yesterday's photo :)

How do you like this one? I love waves and I love to be at the Ocean. My husband and I, we do that as often we can, visiting the beach and taking a walk. It's so relaxing to listen to the song of the Ocean and to breath the fresh salty air.

After posting this, you'll find me down there...see you there?

CALENDARS 2010 anyone...?

Seabreeze on my skin...

Seabreeze

I saw a ship a sailing on the ocean blue
I ran right down to the ocean side in hopes that it was you
So long ago you left me to sail to a foreign land
But when that ship went sailing by my hopes dropped to the sand
Seabreeze ocean wave bring my lover please
Turn her sails toward my heart and bring her back to me

The rising sun reminds me of the day she had to go
She set her sails to the morning tide and filled my heart with woe
She told me when she left me she'd sail to many shores
But her heart her dreams would always be with the one that she loved so
Seabreeze ocean wave...
Bring her back to me bring her back to me
