I'm sure you saw when you went to the beach: sunglasses, hat, shorts and barefoot boys with long, thin rods looked out toward the horizon. I bet you wondered what, if anything ever caught a fish and know where and when.
I know I did until I tried my hand at surf fishing, and after many hours of getting nothing pruney fingers, I finally understood what surf fishing is all, and has since almostspiritual hobby, while alone on the beach in the early hours of the day looking into the sunset, centering link Wily fish to fool.
The truth is that when you walk in the surf fish are almost laughable East until you begin to understand the basics of surf fishing. Every year between Christmas and New Year, I go down to the sea with a bucket and a fishing rod, and half fill the bucket with surfperch barred, a staple of Southern California and the coast of BajaCalifornia to Mexico way. Barred perch are spawning at this time are all within a few hours to get a nice meal to form a crew of six or eight.
After the deal barred perch, eat my attention to other inhabitants of the beach, including Corbina, King of California and Mexico surfing and Spotfin croaker fish, a fish of the finest surfing now. I have friends that also aim halibut form of surfing and saw them land 36 inch halibut fishing Californiawith a flight out of the surf. Flies In fact, the world holds halibut fishing records in two separate classes regularly fish the surf line are not 5 km from my house, and that's where record holder attached.
I know my surf fishing successfully exported to the depths of the Mexican Pacific coast, the Gulf Coast of the United States, the Northeast, the Mid Atlantic states and also in the Far East. I fished on the Japanese side and the old sitting on a beach on the inland sea in YamaguchiPrefecture on the southern tip of Honshu, like me in excruciating detail exactly how their capture, handling and bait hooks explains.
H was speaking in Japanese, of course, as I smiled, nodded, and threw an occasional "Oh." Actually I did not speak any Japanese, but it is limited to ordering food, find the bathroom and make fun of girls, most of what is said is completely over my head, but I would never let that I'mFang, every fourth word.
Ok, so for my surf fishing exploits, I'm sure you're wondering, "How can I fish in the surf anywhere in the world?" Well, I'm glad you asked. understand the first thing they have is that the fish are going to know in the surf to capture what they do. This is their habitat. These are not fish that normally live in deeper waters, but little chance to walk on the water's edge, these fish are there on purpose. And 'what they do. They aregood. The only reason she is here, who hunt for food. They supported the way to carve out an existence by eating, who are standing on the beach, there is a lot.
I laugh when I talk about surf fishing that I send. I was in a very frustrated man, fishing in Malibu talked and complained that the boy is this place, shortly before he was caught many bass, but he was not so happy. I asked him what it uses as baitand he showed me this package of fresh shrimp that had just bought at the supermarket. Well, believe me, it was not fresh shrimp was thawed, and seemed as secure as farmed shrimp from Thailand.
It was much better at home for shrimp, sautéing in butter, garlic and lemon, and pour over a plate of pasta, when its time to fish with them on a beach in California. This was the number one mistake.
While I was there watching and talkingThese fishermen, I also noticed another major gap in knowledge of surf fishing. The tide has returned. Low tide is the worst time to fish in the surf. Take a moment like a fish that lives and think about hunting in the surf. The tide retreats exposing the beach to the other large predators of shipping line, the birds. Birds eat the dispersion overcrowding and hitting the sand looking for small creatures.
Dig clams, sand crabs, worms and ghost shrimp, which canFind crunchy, now that the sea floor just found exposed, they find a kill a variety of animals and leave a mess. Dig small holes with their beaks, sand with your feet and do their best to scratch stone leaves no wish unfulfilled.
When the tide starts to come, each wave goes a bit 'father on the beach to chase the birds and drag the sand just made back and forth. While seabirds found to eat much, certainly not all. ManyCreatures successfully dodged the birds, but their half Burrows safe, recesses, where they are hidden hours in disarray and the flood comes down even lower. Many of these creatures are now far from the surf swirling whitewater faded.
The creatures are now free now fair game for predators of the sea-bound, surf fish. The fish follow the tide surfing bird dinner buffet and found the oncoming waves is now free to wash. This islike fish surf earn a living.
OK, you should have learned two very important principles in the past. First, surf fish are looking for natural foods, as they chase the surf. A piece of cut squid, deep-sea dwellers, is out of place in the line of surf, and during a particularly stupid catch fish at night because it's interesting, or speeding through a fish looks like the eggs, you could eat in its torpor spawning, mean, smart (as these are long-lived) Surf Predator will seewith suspicion.
If you surf to a beach, looking for local, natural baits. Digging in the sand at the surf line in search of small crustaceans, molluscs, crustaceans and worms from the sand. The best time to do it during low tide, because you have the amount of surface area exposed to the underwater world. You will probably chase the birds away as funny and products in the sand. In Southern California, is the most popular beach critter in the sand crabs.
These pea-sized shells are fairly easy to catchwith a special rake that pass through a sieve that allows the sand, but the screen goes shrimp. You can also start with a bucket of water, as you would for gold panning.
You get much better with natural bait than anything local. I know a rich man a fish board surfboard and has not yet demonstrated by this fact. Maine sent special worms that cost $ 7.50 each, and must navigate Ex'ed Fed with fish and can not understand buying, becausechildren with their homemade fish rake sand crab it. If you prefer to buy bait, bait to find a shop and ask them what works best and what to sell. Often, local bait, live mostly sell to serious surf fishermen.
The second principle is to catch the deluge. The fish surf the tide come in and expect to know when they are waiting until it is experience and a good nose, came lined taught them that the dinner hour, theFlood. The best time for surf fishing from the middle two hours before high tide until the tide.
This is the only time I fish - those two hours. Is about two times a day, you should be able to work within your schedule. While the bait and the fight to save him ask for a tide table. They are usually free, and if not, there are current computer on the Internet, which is the tide Every day somewhere in the calculationWorld.
Here's a secret surf fishing I'll bet you'll never have it, but because my stories and explanations above, I bet that sounds logical. To what extent do you think you need to cast to fish in the surf? Well, I'm sure you've seen guys with 14 foot long poles, is wading into the water and Waist Deep shooting a few hundred meters from the beach - and I am sure there are some species of fish that are caught in such a way that striped bass along the East Coast.
IfNavigating targeted fish, not deep-sea species, but it is the right answer, not very far. I take the vast majority of my ankles surf fish in water - much less deep knee. Sometimes the beaches along the Pacific coast I have literally see the fish feeding with their backs out of the water!
I like just before the vote BRAKING Wave - white water. This is the home of surf fish. You are nearby. To retrieve my call to move slowly along the beach slope,and if I hit one, they are more often than not, is in shallow water as deep between ankle and knee. Surprised? I started when I bent over to fish the surf. Now is my "market", where I spent of fresh fish every time I'm in the mood.
So there are my secrets: 1) local fish with bait, you can also collect from the beach at low tide, 2) fish in the last two hours of the flood, and 3) surface fish.
