Deep sea fishing is a wonderful and extremely enjoyable form of fishing. Here are a few really great tips that will make your deep sea, salt water fishing adventures even better.

Watch The Signs:

If you see any birds e.g. Seagulls that are feasting on small bait-type fish, there are probably larger game-type fish below that surface of the water. Also, look for floating wood or debris. In most cases when you happen to see a large floating piece of wood, you would almost certainly find a large game fish in that area, or maybe even a dolphin.

Stop, Snook And Listen:

Fishing for snooks is quite similar as fishing for bass. Snooks tend to like being around ledges, posts and rocks.

Crabs For Full Moon:

During full moons periods use soft crab imitations as your bait. During full moons is the time when crabs shed their shells and then stripers come looking for them.

If You're Looking For Tunas, Find The Dolphins:

Yellowfin tunas are usually found around dolphins. So if you see a group of dolphins then chances are there are some tuna in the area too.

Cut And Burn:

If you have any trouble while cutting through a spiderwire braid, try using a lighter or a match instead.

Good Reef:

The best place to fish is near reefs because big game fish tend to feed on fish that live on reefs.

The Circle Hook:

If you would like a higher hook up ratio then use a circle hook. Circle hooks guarantee you catch more because of the minute gap and the reverse point. Circle hooks are generally better for the fish since they do not hook in the gut just the lip.

Don't Have Sea Legs:

Just watch the horizon and stay on deck, sea legs would generally help you if you're having trouble with sea sickness. Make sure you stay away from the boat fumes if you're feeling sea sick, as breathing in the fumes only exacerbates the problem.

Anchors Away:

If your anchor is stuck at the bottom you should try attaching a float to it. Then return after the tide has changed direction, this should be enough to loosen the anchor.

Fish Where The Fish Are:

Quite a lot of fisherman has this idea that they should be catching live baits over at the reefs, before going to deep waters. However, if the live baits are not in the area your planning to catch the larger game fish, but why would you think that the larger fish are there? Wouldn't they be in the area where the bait fish are?
