Those who are bounded for one of their first trips it is inportant to know the fishing area. In our part of Istria we have 3 sink boat caled wracks. Whith the right equipment Gps and sonar is very easy to find this places. With a little practice we are waiting for unexpected bite as obtaining the right feel for the bite. So, onto the procedures we go!
Bottom fishing with the right equipment can make a huge difference because even though most anglers will definitely catch some, someday we catch a lot, but somedays eat not so much, but we have never come withaut any fish.We have choose the right equipment to go bottom fishing because it is very important.
Fluorocarbon line is one of the top choices and a key component for your bottom rigs. It is not only less visible to the fishes but it is also tougher and more corrosion resistant. In bottom fishing, a heavy lead sinker will lead the lure followed by the lure than hook. You will feel the resistance where the fish takes a bit from the weight that Is hung and thus definitely causing them to hook themselves onto the hook.
The objective of bottom fishing is to take the bait or lure to the bottom floor of the sea and to present it in an enticing manner for the fish to lure them into your hook.
To put it simply
1) Check your lure constantly to make sure it is still hooked. You do not want your fish to escape now, do you?
2) You will most definitely need a weight on your line that is rigged below your hook so that it will be able to get your bait down to the bottom and maintain it there. Of course, the stronger the current the heavier the weight you will need.
3) if you have rig your weight above your bait in this case in strong currents, this causes the bait to drift back to the distance between the two. Once the lure is dropped just let it rest and float along the current until you get a bite.
When you catch a fish what you must know, to do ?
1) When a fish brings you into the structure, do not pull as hard as you can tp get the fish out as this will always break your lure as you are scraping your line against the said structure even though we all know fluorocarbon is tough but everything has its limits.
2) Go into free spool and most of the times the fish you want will swim out from hiding within the structure thus allowing you another opportunity to catch them.
3) Always, always take care of the fishes you have caught. If you do not want to keep the fish, ensure the hook is removed and remember to revive it.
