Deep Sea Fishing Little RiverNow that you know the best times of the day to fish, let us learn more about the variable climate condition suitable for deep sea fishing. In this second part, you will learn the best seasons to fish.

Variable Climate Condition

Wind

Wind could play a big role when it comes to the best times to fish and fishing success. Wind pushes the water into its direction and the food far into the shore, thus the bait also goes along the direction of the wind and so does the fish. So if you’re fishing from the shore on a gusty day, fish where you need to cast right into the wind. In this way, your bait moves with the wind. If you’re fishing from a charter, cast with the wind on a protected shore.

Tornadoes

Strong winds, tornadoes and the changing climate patterns significantly impact fishing success. This is because fish are acutely in harmony with adjustments in barometric problems. With numerous fish, feeding rises throughout the hours quickly before a cold front but reduces throughout and after a tornado or front hits.

Fishing after a cold front is bad and will remain bad even after a day or two. The reason is that cold front trigger surface area water temperature to rise, placing fish right into a feeding setting.

Myrtle Beach SC Deep Sea FishingLong time fishermen already know the best times to catch a fish, what season, and even the best time of the day to fish. But for newbies, this may be a little complicated to understand. There are many variables to consider, so here is a two-part guide that helps you understand the best times to fish before your go on a deep sea fishing charter.

Variables to Consider on the Best Time to Fish

  1. Know about the water’s temperature

For fish in ponds, shallow lakes and rivers, too hot summer days can make them sluggish, which also occurs in the winter season. Why? This is because, fish are cold-blooded which means they cannot maintain a fixed body temperature unlike us, humans. Thus, they depend on their external environment to regulate it for them. Extreme tide temperature (really high or really low) can minimize the quantity of oxygen in the water, making fish less energetic and fussy.

This is why you need to know the water’s temperature level before going on a deep sea fishing charter with your group of friends or family. Fish are harder to catch when it’s too hot or too cold, so be sure to know this simple biology to help you identify what type of bait to use, as well.

Myrtle Beach Deep Sea FishingMany people may ask, what exactly is deep sea fishing? For those who are unfamiliar with this activity, sea fishing is a kind of fishing activity that calls for deep waters and normally happens far from the land. According to deep sea fishermen, water should be at least 30 meters deep to be considered a deep sea fishing region. This activity is also called big game fishing, sports fishing or even offshore boat fishing by other fishing enthusiasts.

Some people may compare it to the typical fishing activity, but it is totally different. Deep sea fishing is when you head out on a boat or watercraft into the deep water where a pool of fish awaits you such as sharks, marlin, tuna and even swordfish, among others. These kinds of fish cannot be seen near the shore as they need open and deep water to feed.

, , deep sea fishing

deep sea fishingIf it is your first time to go deep sea fishing, then Shark Men or Deadliest Catch may probably be your sole reference point. But for those who are already considered as “regulars,” they know that part of the appeal of going fishing in the ocean compared to freshwater fishing is that you don’t know what you’re going to catch. In most cases, a day on the water is far more relaxing compared to what you used to see on TV shows. So before you go, we’ve provided a list of things you need to expect for this type of outdoor adventure.

Find a place where you can store your gear the moment you get on the boat. Avoid the temptation to drop whatever it is that you have with you on the deck. This area is almost always wet plus, the other anglers as well as the crew needs all the space they can get and that means you cannot just leave your things anywhere you want. Once that’s done, don’t forget to sign in on the manifest of the ship. Get to know the crew. If they ask you if you want a bag for your fish, be sure to answer yes. It only costs about $1 to $2. You will also be given a bag number, which you need to memorize. If you manage to catch a fish later, a deckhand will take the fish off the hook and ask you for the number of the bag where they’ll put it in. They will also ask if you want to join the jackpot which normally cost between $5 and $10 per individual to enter. You will win the jackpot if you catch the big fish. Seasoned anglers often catch more fish. But you can get lucky, too. Who knows, you might just get that one big fish. Every person that joins the jackpot needs to have their own bag. Don’t worry if you are renting a tackle because you will get it later on.
