Fishing is my ​best hobby

Fishing almost​ on a daily basis of late, I often take some of the finer points with no consideration. A classic example of this occurred when I took some previous mates out for a kingy fish recently.

After my usual early begin at regarding eight.30 (the would like to chase kings early within the day could be a fallacy), we headed out. With the Honda purring, we supercharged out with a tank full of livy's. As we created a bee-line for one of the reefs I unremarkably target, I explained the game plan for the day ​ 1st we have a tendency to were getting to check up on one or two of reefs, then run up to a wreck in deeper water, before coming in shut to a ridge that has been productive within the past. In the deeper water, we were going to drift lives on significant tackle and work jigs yet, while in the shallows we have a tendency to were getting to troll a lively on my Strike Cam video camera and surface lures

I’m Pleased to my ​Own work

The first few reefs were quiet, but then we have a tendency to found fish marking up well on the Furuno at the third spot. Feeding two slimies down, the guys did not get a strike on the primary drop. Knowing there were fish there, I sent a livey down on the next drift and attached immediately.

Okay, so what did I do differently? Well, first it was ​attention to detail​. I watched the sounder and saw the fish were holding deep, but my mates’ liveys stopped well short of them, obviously unwilling to go from now on. While the others misinterpreted this as the bottom, I wound in the line and added somewhat a lot of weight to urge the bait fish down into the strike zone. Secondly, when the fish smitten, I gave it ample line, realising that the big slippy was about to be troublesome for it to swallow. One of the opposite anglers finally got into the strike zone, but then lost 2 fish as a result of his drag was too tight and therefore the fish merely spat it out.
