Useful Tips For When You Go Fishing

By Alicia Hunter


There are many ways for one to spend his break. There are also many places where one can spend it at. The choices that one has are vast. There are even many choices for company. You can spend your spare time alone, with friends or with family. One needs to choose carefully the how, who and where of his break to maximize the time to ensure that it is relaxing, fun and stress free. One option for spending time away is with Morehead City fishing.

When heading out to fish, you need to take note if the timing is right. Your efforts will be for naught if you go on times when there are no aquatic animals to catch. Catch is best late in the afternoon and early evening during spring, in the early morning and late afternoon in the summer. During fall best time would be in the afternoon especially since aquatic animals are putting on weight for winter. Temperatures are ideal for fishes to come out to surface and eat. Catch is low in extreme temperatures.

There are various techniques that you can use. It would depend on the aquatic animal and where you plan to get them. Common techniques are netting, hand gathering and angling. The knowledge you have on the techniques, the aquatic animal's behavior and types are useful to making a good decision.

The preparation of the bait and equipment to be used would be just as fun. Several choices are still available. Natural bait include leeches, meal worms, grubs and more. If the bait is not natural, then that is a lure. Lures come in various sizes, colors and shapes.

When the fish is on the hook, it is time to for you to retrieve it. It can be tricky because the fish would struggle to be free. Retrieve the line as quick as possible while lowering your rod until it points to the fish. Pause and then carefully raise your rod. When it is up at an 11:00 pose repeat the process up until the catch is near and ready for it to be landed.

Be careful when landing the catch. Several anglers use the index finger and thumb for gripping them at the lower jaw. The move holds the jaw open and it also temporarily paralyzes them.

You may also grab it by its mouth or its belly to be able to remove its hook. It is best to use a net to land a bigger catch. Just place it in the water and lead the catch into it head first. Those that have sharp teeth should be handled around its body. Others, such as the Atlantic salmon, have strong tails, you can grasp them by the front of the tail fin.

Whatever the purpose of your trip, keep in mind that you should always keep yourself and the environment safe. Practice safety including that of the aquatic animal. This is especially true if you plan to catch and release.

It would be a fun adventure to go on Morehead City fishing. You can have some great family bonding experience. You can also enjoy the solitude if that is what you prefer.
