Saltwater Fishing, the Great American Pastime!

Author: Steve Parker

Looking for a way to bring the while family together? Try saltwater fishing! Saltwater fishing is an activity that everyone, no matter what your age, can enjoy. Many generations can grow closer by fishing together, and this is also a great activity to use to teach children about things like conservation, water safety, and habitats.

Saltwater fishing starts, of course, with a boat. If you don’t have the money to purchase a boat on your own, don’t worry—you can also take part in saltwater fishing trips. Called chartered trips, these fishing trips often include full access to a boat’s fishing equipment, so if your younger anglers don’t own their own rods and tackle, it will be provided. Many of these fishing boats also include cabins, so non-fishermen and women can enjoy a beautiful day at sea. Take along a picnic lunch or even grill up your catch!

Remember when saltwater fishing to teach children the importance of being safe. Of course, there’s always that chance of being jabbed by a hook, but more importantly, saltwater fishing usually requires you to be very far from land. Make sure that everyone is wearing a life jacket when on deck, and it is a good idea to wear whistles in case you fall overboard. Teach children some basic water safety before you leave shore to make sure everyone is safe while saltwater fishing.

You should also teach children the importance of protecting the environment. When your go saltwater fishing, don’t simply do it just for sport—enjoy a fish meal together or give the fish to someone who will. Make sure that your garbage is discarded properly when you reach the shore, not thrown into the ocean. You can also teach your children about how a fish breathes by showing them up close and personal (if you’re lucky!) the gills of a fish.

Saltwater fishing is most enjoyable, of course, when you catch something! Before you leave on your fishing trip, purchase the tackle you’ll need to successfully catch the species you want to catch. Tackle includes a weight, leader, hook, swivel, and bait. There are many saltwater tackle options from which to choose, and it is important to pick the best ones for the saltwater fishing you plan to do.

Bonding with your family is important. While one may easily grow too old for contact sports or not be old enough to understand card games, fishing is the perfect activity that can be enjoyed by all. You should consider saltwater fishing the next time you are looking for a unique family vacation idea.

Albacore Tuna Bounty Off The Oregon Coast

Author: Kurt Ploetz

Albacore Tuna Bounty off the Oregon Coast

Kurt Ploetz

www.fishgriller.com fishgriller@yahoo.com

Outdoor Chef Kurt is still amazed at the fighting power of these tuna in the blue water off of the Oregon coast. The albacore tuna fishery in Oregon has grown dramatically over the last 5 years, into a great new sporting adventure. There are a series of derbies from south to north in the summers, which attract boats from as far as southern California and all over the west coast. Charters out of most of the major ports are available for this fine eating fish. With a limit of 25, if you get into them, you can fill the freezer in a short period of time.

I have a friend that had a new boat built that is perfect for the long trips out 40 to 50 miles to find the blue water these game fish inhabit. We started out as tuna virgins last summer, but got the hang of it after adjusting trolling speed and length of lines .We usually run 4 lines at different lengths, longer out the sides, and closer from the stern of the boat. We use floating jigs that dance across the water as we troll at a speed of about 6.2 mph.  These fish hit very hard when they bite and you need some real hardware to land the big ones.

We run Ugly Stick 7 foot rods with medium sized Penn Gold 2 speed  reels, also a couple of Avet reels that work real good to handle these 12 to 45 pound fighters. For the line we use 100# braided line, with a top shot of 90# monofilament. When we hook a fish we usually drag it for a couple hundred yards .These are schooling fish so as we drag one, usually we will have another 1 or sometimes 2 more fish on by the time we stop. With 3 of these awesome game fish on at the same time, it can turn into a real mess in a real hurry, so you have to be on your A game or you will have some tangled lines before you can say Fish On.  We usually try to bring the closest ones in first, and then work on the ones on the longer lines. If they cross lines you have to move around or untangle lines on the fly, and it can be very exciting to land the big ones after an avoided mess.

The jigs we use, are supposed to imitate squid on the surface .We us a 7 OO hook that looks like a treble but only has 2 hooks.  When these fish hit they bury the hooks in their jaw, and we have yet to lose a fish after it is hooked.  Once hooked these fish pull like they are headed straight for the bottom, harder than you can imagine.  I was amazed at their tenacity and strength on the first one I hooked last year, and it was one of the most satisfying fishing experiences I have had in my whole life.

The way we get the fish on board is to gaff them, which is a whole new adventure in itself. Once on board we cut the gills to make them bleed out and put them in the fish box on ice. The faster you cool these fish down the better it is, and the better they will taste. We usually keep the fish on ice overnight, as it seems to make it easier to pull off the skin when it is time to get to cutting.  Each tuna has 4 loins, and filleting them is not too hard once you get the hang of it.

The flesh of these great fish is tender and flaky and full of omega oils which are very good for your health. It can be cooked in a number of ways. You can grill it, you can bake it, or you can batter it, and deep fry it for the best fish and chips you have had your whole life. As a lifelong fisherman I waited many years to have a go at these great game fish, and can tell you firsthand that when you get one on the line it will be one of the best fishing experiences of your life.

HAPPY TUNA FISHING FROM OUTDOOR CHEF KURT       Two simple recipes.

#1 grilled or baked albacore tuna fillets. Marinate loin for 3 hours in Bernstein's Italian dressing in Ziploc bag. Season with Tony Chacheres Creole seasoning and wrap in tin foil after pouring on a little melted butter. Then grill or bake till sections of tuna fillet flake apart with fork.

• #2 deep fried albacore fillets. Place loin on cutting board and slice into 1/2 inch patties. Mix Pride of the West batter mix. with 1/2 can or so of desired beer till nice and creamy. Add Johnny's seasoning to batter and stir in. Dip loin patties in batter covering completely and fry till golden brown in 375f oil of your choice. I prefer canola oil but vegetable and corn oil work well also.

BaitRunner: The Top-of-the-Line Shimano Reel

Author: Robert Feuring

Your favorite part of the week is the weekend (whose favorite part of the week isn't the weekend anyway?). But your case is different from most people. You can already feel the spray of the water. You can already imagine the taste of the salt of the open sea. And the sense of great adventure is unwaveringly beckoning you to another weekend of fishing heaven. Yep, it's the lifestyle and the choices that set you apart from the pack.

Even before the weekend comes, your gear has been prepared and you're itching to try out your new Shimano BaitRunner. You bought yourself a B series after having been a very avid BaitRunner Classic user. You had to choose among 3 models. A 3500, a 4500, and a 6500. You picked the one that was the best match for the style of fishing that you have. And yes, you recall that it was an easy choice. And easy it was, with all the new design innovations and superb engineering. But Bob, your lifelong neighbor and fishing buddy is skeptical about the BaitRunner's features. So you set out to prove him wrong. And prove him wrong you did with the unbelievable catch you made.

Now Bob is a believer. Who wouldn't be awed with a Shimano Reel that has a graphite frame, a graphite side plate, a graphite rotor, a diecast aluminum spool, flat T type handle grip, a waterproof drag, anti-rust bearings, a dyna balance, a power roller III, a power handle torpedo knob, 3 + 1 stainless steel ball bearings, an automatic strike alarm and a non-corrosive graphite construction?

You showed him the BaitRunner features. He could not believe how easy it was to change the front drag setting. (Turn the notch clockwise to increase drag strength. To reach the maximum drag, just tighten the notch. Turn the notch counter-clockwise and the drag strength is decreased.) When you adjusted the BaitRunner Tension Setting, you just flipped the BaitRunner to the On position and you set the reel in a total free spool. Adjustments were made with the different types of bait you had. The sleek look of the Shimano BaitRunner is not just its source of beauty, you'd have to count in the smooth functions. You had it easy because you just had to turn the tension dial all the way to the left and you got the lightest free spool tension. You turned the dial to the right and the free spool tension was increased. You wanted to fish your bait effectively in a controlled free spool and you just had to flip the BaitRunner's lever to the BaitRunner On position. To set the hook, you just had to turn the handle forward and the BaitRunner immediately shifted to Drag On.

You've never had a baitrunner reel function quite like the Shimano BaitRunner. Now, you tell Bob and all the rest of your fishing buddies that to get the best deals for their Shimano BaitRunner purchases, Sea Isle Tackle is the place to go.

Saltwater Reel Selection Advice

Author: Daniel Eggertsen

When choosisng the type of saltwater reels you want to use, you may want to consider where you'll be fishing. Different reels, much like other saltwater equipment, are geared toward different uses and will come in handier in some areas of the open waters than others. For example, Daiwa has a line called Steez that produces reels, rods, and line, all of which it touts as bass gear.

However, if you are going to be fishing for inshore saltwater species, the lightweight powerhouse spinning reel works as one of the best reels available. There are two models of this particular line of reels, one weighing 6.9 ounces and the other 7.1 ounces. They are made of magnesium, titanium, and other lightweight composites and inside, they contain super-corrosion-resistant ball bearings, great for saltwater use.

One of the most well known, recognizable names is Penn Spinfisher. The latest in this line of reels is the Spinfisher SSm, available in three different sizes. It has a full-metal body, five ball bearings, and infinite anti-reverse for solid hook-sets and smooth performance.

These saltwater reels are made purposely to withstand a harsh saltwater environment and have a balance rotor for wobble-free performance. This reduces the fatigue caused to the angler. Coupled with Penn's Leveline spool-wrap, the throw is consistent and the line will lay a flat and level spool wrap on every retrieval, making this combination one of the best you can use.

The frames of these are made from a lightweight aluminum alloy that is also a high-strength material, meaning that you have a reel that is incredibly strong while still maintaining a minimal weight. The full-metal body of Penn's reels is superior to those of other companies that manufacture their reels of either graphite or a combination of graphite and metal because the aluminum alloy is stronger and will hold up better against the force and pressure of a trophy-sized saltwater fish, some of which can be extremely large and vicious in their fight for freedom.

Even under extremely intense pressure and loads, these saltwater reels maintain their alignment and have the torque to reel in whatever may be on the other end of the line.

One of the reasons that the Spinfisher SSm reels are so well thought of is the redesigned drag knob, which seals out saltwater and contaminants and is supported by a stainless steel main shaft.

This maintains the integrity and alignment of the SSm saltwater reels, even during huge drag loads caused by hard fights between fish and anglers.
