The scale said 1,174 pounds, but no one knows how big the marlin really was. A hundred pounds or more of the fish swam off in the belly of a 14-foot tiger shark. What would you do if you saw your trophy catch being eyed by a toothy monster? At times there may be nothing you can do, but here are two things to try: 1. Attach a hook to a fathom length of heavy nylon leader and then attach that to

Fishing the "slide" is relatively simple. Get your "slide" rod with your plastic tied on, and go stand at the stern rail. The second someone yells hookup or you hear a clicker scream, chuck that thing as far back as you can. That is the basic idea behind fishing the "slide", but it is a little more complicated than that. Find out which side of the boat, the skipper usually fishes on, most boats

Many angler using weight sinker for bottom fishing, but sometimes they have trouble when hooked a big fish. How many power you have for lift up your sinker plus a big fish? I saw in the TV channel, some fishermen using some coral rock for instead of the sinker. They tied a coral with palm/coconuts leaf and hasp the hook to the palm leaf.

The most overlooked lure in your tackle box is a jig Ask a freshwater bass fisherman what his choice would be if he were limited to fishing with only one lure and his answer would likely be a plastic worm. A saltwater angler when asked the same question would likely say a jig. Arguably the most versatile lure in your tackle box, a jig can be fished in any variety of ways for almost any saltwater

A fishing rod is a tool used to catch fish, usually for sport. (Sustenance and commercial fishing usually involves nets.) A length of fishing line is threaded along a long, flexible rod or pole; one end terminates in a barbed hook for catching the fish, while most of the rest of the line is wound around a reel at the base of the pole. The pulley-like arrangement of the reel allows the fish to be

We were an experienced crew in those days before artificial trolling lures migrated from Hawaii to Florida and then on to the Bahamas. We used arcane jargon with specific meanings that enabled captain, mate and angler to function smoothly as a team, and to hook a large percentage of the billfish that rose to the dead baits we trolled. As lures evolved and became available to anyone with a few

To the uneducated, trolling for billfish seems over simplified, as well as rather hopeless. After all, you simply drag a handful of trolling lures behind the boat, cover as much of the vast ocean surface as you possibly can in a day's time and hope to stumble onto a fish or two. But the expert has designed a trolling system with meticulous concern for detail that produces billfish consistently.

You must use the different transom waves behind the boat to position your lures. The best way to identify a wave is to run your boat on plane and pull the power back slowly. As the boat begins to settle, you'll see a wave roll out from under the transom. That is wave No.1 and about 20 feet behind it, you will see wave No.2. I identify the position of eight waves behind the boat when positioning

Shopping for a fishing reel Shopping for a fishing reel can be a lengthy process. Knowing what you are looking for in a reel is the first step. The second step is knowing what all those reel manufacturers are talking about when they rave so highly about their reels in the attempt to get you to purchase theirs over any other.

Have you ever left the dock and headed out to fish after forgetting your bait? How many of us have ever left the dock and headed out to fish only to find you left the bait in a cooler on the dock? It's a long ride back to the dock, and at the price of fuel today, it makes it very expensive to head back and retrieve it. I have left my bait on several occasions over the years. There were also some

Secret fishing spots often get passed from father to son through the generations Secret fishing spots - some call them honey holes - often get passed from father to son through generations. Of course the reality is that our secret spots probably aren't as "secret" as we think they are. We may only get to them every few weeks while other anglers visit them in between without our knowledge. I had

Surf fishing can be extremely hard to master. You have to calculate many factors such as the wind, current, crashing waves, floating kelp, rocks and so on before you cast. For the beginner I suggest you start on a calm day on a sandy beach. Practice casting first until you build up your confidence. Remember that you don't have to cast very far, because the fish practically come right up on to

What do we do when our favorite live bait is deemed illegal? We were bottom fishing some twenty miles offshore over an artificial reef, using small live fish for bait.

A full cooler usually means you used live bait! If you want to catch fish, really catch fish, live bait is the only way to go. You may catch some fish on dead cut bait, but in general they will be smaller and fewer in number. We've proven this to ourselves more times than I can remember. This past week was no exception.

Tackle, gear and bait It is necessary to use at least 12-13 foot medium to heavy rods and rod holders if you target catching sharks and rays from the surf.I recommend using Penn #500 Jigmaster or Penn Squidder for conventional reels, since they are capable of casting long distance even with a large bait. Use at least 20-30 pound test line. For a terminal tackle (see a picture below), use 30-40
