Off Shore Fishing Is A Fun Experience

By Alta Alexander


For many fishing is a boring and a waste of time sport. The majority do however find it a very relaxing past-time where being out in nature will help to sooth the nerves and clear the head. Others still love the thought of being out in the ocean miles from shore and tackling a big fish. Off shore fishing is very popular by many all around the world and is still a growing sport.

In-shore fishing is when one is on a boat and is in sight of land. The water is only about thirty meters deep and fishing can be done on a small cabin cruiser, an inflatable, row boat or even a dinghy. These boats are all small enough to be transported on a trailer and are much cheaper than the off shore boats. The most popular choice of late is the kayak as it is very stable on water and is made of some very tough materials.

There are many different kayaks that one can choose and the first is the Fluid Bamba. It is made for both off shore as well an inland fishing. It has a large forward centre hatch and is made from a very durable plastic, Polyethylene. This little hatch is big enough to keep all tackle as well as rods of one and a half meters long, safe and dry.

Different tackle are made to catch different kinds of fish. When trying to get a Yellowfin Tuna it is recommended that one have a few Penn 30VSW 30-80#, 5'6" rods as well as reels that are spooled with a Sufix Superior Line. Having Pocket Lure Wraps and a crimper is recommended. These can come in a set with many other additions for only six thousand dollars.

The Yellowfin Tuna Trolling Package Combos include six all roller rods as well as six ballyhoo rigs. Also included is the Sea Witch Ballyhoo Skirt assorted pack and this all comes to six thousand dollars as well with a saving of six hundred dollars. Each kit will be customized to fit each individuals needs.

To catch shark many use the Mako Magnet that sends out frequencies to attract them into a certain area. These are proven to attract shark and can be attached to the battery of the boat and then place the transducer into the water to activate. This sound can be heard a minimum of one mile under the surface. If one is more into catching Marlin and Tuna, specific magnets can also be bought for them. Each of these magnets will set one back three hundred and fifty dollars.

The in-shore waters have many different smaller but same size shoals of fish. The prized Sothern Yellowtail which migrates for hundreds of miles from New Zealand to the Namibian Boarder is plentiful. Their sizes range from fifteen to forty kilograms and are mainly caught with the trolling method.

Fishing of this sort is a lot more dangerous than the shallower version and the person will need to have a good knowledge of the weather patterns as well as the safety precautions. It is not advised that beginners start here as experience is crucial. Many prefer to go on larger vessels for safety but others still enjoy the peacefulness on a small boat.
