Off Shore Fishing Has Become A Global Favorite As A Pastime

By Alta Alexander


Depending on where one enjoys fishing different equipment will be needed. With off shore fishing, all heavy duty equipment as well as large and heavy bait are needed. The in-shore tackle will be lighter and the bait could either be alive or dead.

There are many charters that take people out and offer them expert advice when landing that big one. People especially fishermen and woman from all around the world flock to the The Cape of Good Hope in Cape Town. This specific area has a vast amount of different species all year round and because two great oceans meet the water is both warm as well as icy cold.

The variety and sizes of fish will also be different as the closer to shore one is the smaller they will be. The ones that are generally caught close to shore are the Flounder, Redfish which include the Sheepshead and the Dum as well as the Speckled Trout. The further out to sea one goes the bigger fish tend to be. The Yellow-fin, Marlin, Snapper, Cobia and the Mako are only a few that can be caught in deeper waters.

Different tackle are made to catch different kinds of fish. When trying to get a Yellowfin Tuna it is recommended that one have a few Penn 30VSW 30-80#, 5'6" rods as well as reels that are spooled with a Sufix Superior Line. Having Pocket Lure Wraps and a crimper is recommended. These can come in a set with many other additions for only six thousand dollars.

The Yellowfin Tuna Trolling Package Combos include six all roller rods as well as six ballyhoo rigs. Also included is the Sea Witch Ballyhoo Skirt assorted pack and this all comes to six thousand dollars as well with a saving of six hundred dollars. Each kit will be customized to fit each individuals needs.

To catch shark many use the Mako Magnet that sends out frequencies to attract them into a certain area. These are proven to attract shark and can be attached to the battery of the boat and then place the transducer into the water to activate. This sound can be heard a minimum of one mile under the surface. If one is more into catching Marlin and Tuna, specific magnets can also be bought for them. Each of these magnets will set one back three hundred and fifty dollars.

For deep sea fishing the harpoon is a very valuable tool to have. The harpoons design has a rigid lightweight shaft with a high weight power head. The shaft is easy to aim as well as handle and the power head is used for accuracy and has very good penetration at any depth. The shaft is only made from one inch aluminum but can handle tremendous pressure from any large fish.

The fishermen on this charter will even help young children to catch their very first fish. They cater for all ages as well as different levels of experience and those that have used them keep coming back each year. Nothing beats hearing the waves break on the side of the boat or getting sprayed by the sea out in the open while landing the "big one".
