FISHING WITH LIVE FISH
Preparing a fishing trip for successo.
Fishing with live fish as bait is a popular and effective technique for attracting a wide variety of predatory species. Here are some basic steps for fishing using live fish:
1- Selecting the type of live fish: The type of live fish used as bait will depend on the type of species you want to catch. It is important to know the feeding habits of the target species to select the type of live fish that will attract it the most.
2- Prepare the equipment: You will need adequate fishing equipment to fish with live fish. It is advisable to use a hook suitable for the size of the bait, a sinker of sufficient weight to keep the bait at the desired depth, and a rod and reel that can handle the weight of the sinker and the live fish, as well as the size of the predatory species you expect to catch.
3- Hooking the bait: To hook the live fish, you can use a J or circle hook, which you can find in our catalog in the Blackmagictackle section. It is important not to damage the bait when setting the hook, as an injured or stressed live fish will not be as effective as a healthy and active one. It is advisable to hook the hook through the lips, nose or tail of the live fish.
4- Casting the line: It is important to cast the line in the right place, as this can make the difference between catching the target species or not. The casting technique will depend on the species you want to catch and the environment in which you are fishing, always looking for favorable bottoms where predators are hunting, such as rocks or wrecks.
5- Watch the line: Once the line has been cast with the live fish as bait, it is important to drop the lead to the bottom and pick up 3 or 4 turns of the reel and watch for a change in the bottom to avoid hooking and above all be aware of any change in the tension of the line. If the line moves in an unusual way, tightens or bends at the tip, it is likely that there is a predatory fish attacking the bait. At this point, it is important to wait a few seconds before starting to retrieve the line to allow the predatory fish to take the hook and hook up properly.
6- Fight the fish: Once the predatory fish has taken the bait, it is important to fight it and keep the line taut at all times. It is important to keep in mind that the fight may last several minutes and may require skill and patience to make sure the fish does not escape.
It is very important to have and use a good salabre, to embark our catches. The one in the picture you can find it in our catalog, Salabre Bluecrab.
In summary, fishing with live fish is an effective technique for attracting a wide variety of predatory species. To be successful in this technique, it is important to select the right type of live fish, prepare the right equipment, hook the bait correctly, cast the line in the right place, watch the line for changes and fight the predatory fish once the hook is set, and above all use the right equipment, from rod or reel, a good jig, as well as line and hooks .
