Rock Fishing - Big Catch With Soft Plastics

Along most coastlines of the world, rock Fishing is very popular. Rocky outcrops are exquisite places to relax and fish, without the hassle of venturing out on a boat. Species caught might be small compare to Fishing added offshore on a boat. But with light tackle it can be real fun.

At the right tide and seasons these rocky outcrops would attract a wide diversity of species. With the right bait and rigs, groupers, bluefish, snappers, mangrove jacks, barramundi, mullets and many coastal species can be caught.

Rock Fishing can be great fun but beware of the danger of these rocks. They can be very glossy when wet and the edges are sharp. Wear slip-resistant footwear. Do not go and fish alone in these secluded spots. Bring along a Fishing buddy or two. If whatever will to happen, you still have someone nearby to call upon to help you.

Travel light and bring what is only needed. You might need to climb or hop these rocks. The best clarification is to carry a backpack that can accommodate whatever you have and leave both of your hands free. Do not forget to bring some food and water to avoid dehydration, but no alcohol or beer. Children are advisable not to tag along because it is too dangerous.

Limit your tackle to only 1 or 2 rods. Tackle might vary from one location to another. Normally, an outfit of 8-12 lbs will able to do the job well. If you feel that there are larger specimens nearby it might call for a heavier outfit of 15-25 lbs. You must be prepared to lose some concluding tackle because snagging is tasteless with rock fishing. It can be real tricky bringing out fish in these rocky areas.

Majority of rock anglers prefer to use dead or cut-bait over live-bait, because live-bait is troublesome to conduct or to carry along. It will be great if you are able to derive some live bait on the spot.

My popular is using artificial bait and I find soft plastic lures very productive for this situation. There're quite a amount of these good lures ready in the market. Of which in single are Storm from Rapala, Berkley and the Duel Salty Rubber Jig from Japan. In fact, the latter is created generally for use to target lowest dwellers in shallow seas.

Soft plastic lures are less prone to snag because they've only one single hook instead of two treble hooks on most hard body lures. Furthermore, they're not costly losing a few which is normal for this kind of fishing due to the snags is still not so bad.

Most rock fishing's anglers issue the catch that they caught. For this situation it's preferable to use barbless hooks for quick and easy issue of the fish.
