Becoming An Expert On Deep Sea Fishing Lures
Becoming an Expert on Deep Sea Lures by Cornel Tanady What do you know about and lures? Chances are, you have never worked with deep sea lures and wouldnt know how to choose the right one for the right application. How do you know what deep sea lures are best for which targeted species and what waters? It is a learned process, and some people work off preference more than off recommendations. If you are like most people, you will hire a charter to take you out for a day-long excursion, and youll let your guide choose the appropriate deep sea lures, rigging up the rods and reels for you while you sit back and wait for the bite. While this is common and there is nothing wrong with it, youll never learn much about the sport of deep sea unless you ask questions. What youll find is that guides and charter services are perfectly willing to provide answers and divulge knowledge that you can store in your memory banks and put to good use should you ever decide to venture out on your own. Choosing deep sea lures is actually very much like choosing a lure for lake or river fishing. The right type is dependent upon your location and purpose. Bigger fish require bigger lures, and darker, murkier waters require brighter colors to be cast. Therefore, when you are miles out at sea, at incredible depths, your deep


sea lures should be bright fluorescent colors, like chartreuse and orange. Because the fish that are biting this far out are going to be big - large bluefin and yellowfin tuna, sharks, and marlins - youll need big bait and big lures. Youll be bottom in some instances, and here, youll rig up jigs just like you would in lakes or rivers when bottom fishing. These are good deep sea lures for species like flounder that are flat fish and bottom feeders. If you are in an area with a heavy undercurrent, a spinner might be a great option, as it will be in constant motion and draw the attention of some of your target species more effectively. The best way to learn about anything is through trial and error, but you can get a head start by joining a charter excursion or two and watching which deep sea lures work best for what fish and in what waters. Dont hesitate to ask questions of the crew, either; after all, the only dumb question is the one that never got answered because it wasnt asked. Cornel Tanady pursues a lot of niches. Currently, he is very much into and boating.

Deep Sea Fishing

   
 
Stop the Madness!!
First, they shut down the red snapper, grouper, and black seabass fisheries for an undetermined length of time. Next, the president forms a task force to oversee and protect the oceanic waters - we have yet to see the outcome of this group's recommendations - some say this could even prevent you from fishing in a pond on your own property. Either of these could curtail recreational fishing as we know it. The fishery closures are already having a huge economic impact on the fishing industry. California anglers wrestle with all the areas closed to fishing every day.

Now I read today that NOAA, in all its wisdom, wants to put loggerhead turtles on the endangered species list. Now, that may not seem to be bad - in fact, protecting an endangered animal species is what we need top do. But - is this turtle really endangered? I see at least one loggerhead on every trip I make. In fact, we often purposely look for one, because they are generally diving over live bottom, and that means fish are down there.

During the recent cold weather in Florida, hundreds of turtles were rescued and saved from death to be released back into the ocean when the water warmed. I just don't see the problem in my experience.

The report talks about Japanese nesting areas for the northern Pacific loggerhead. Ok - go after the Japanese. I wonder why we always seem to have to be the saviors of the world. It's just like the whaling industry in Japan and the blue fin tuna fishery in Japan. World stocks are depleted, but they seem to not care. So - to cure the problem, we let them fish and shut down our own fisheries.

So why is the loggerhead an issue? Well just watch. Top protect these turtles, commercial fishermen will be shut down in certain areas. Beach fronts that are nesting areas will be closed to public access. Boat traffic will be eliminated in areas where loggerheads roam - it just goes on and on. And, if you think I am making this up, just look at the manatee restrictions put in place in Florida over the past several years.

I am sure to get emails blasting me for this - PETA, et al, always watch what I write and then blast me. But - someone has to make some rational sense out of all of this.

You must realize that you have not heard from PETA and the other environmental groups for quite a while. I said years ago that they were well funded and they were taking their fight to lobbyists to quietly change fishing regulations. They have latched onto and gotten the ear of the government now and things will be changing fast over the next few years. IT IS TIME TO STOP THIS MADNESS!

If you fish - and by reading this either you do or you are one of the many tree-huggers that are trying to stop fishing altogether - you need to get hold of your congressman's and senators' ears and tell them - ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
