Salt Water versus Fresh Water Fishing
By admin On August 24th, 2011These are some of the main differences between freshwater fishing and saltwater fishing.
The type of fish differ between freshwater and saltwater. Saltwater fish or salties as they are known are usually bigger than freshwater fish. Some fish such as Salmon do migrate for spawning in general these fish are very different. So generally speaking you can categorize the fish as either freshwater or saltwater.
The gear you use will be different. If you are interested in catching salties you will be using bigger gear. The chances of catching a really big fish in the salt water is much higher compared to the fisherman working in freshwater. While you can use saltwater gear to catch freshwater you can not use freshwater gear to catch salties. The gear will not be strong enough to handle the general power and weight of salties.
Your technique will also be different. If your are in saltwater you will generally cast toward the back of the boat and wait for a fish to bite. In freshwater you will try to find the fish first by going to places on the water where they are. Once you find the fish then you try to catch them.Want to know more?
