Summer is finally here which means many people get to enjoy a treasured hobby in North Carolina, saltwater fishing! If you and your friends are planning on doing some saltwater fishing, here are a few things you need to know.
Use Shiny Lures. Did you know that saltwater fish are more attracted to shiny lures? This summer is sure to keep a few shiny lures in your tackle box. Shad, crawfish, and minnows are all good at reflecting light.
Tie a Strong Knot. If you’ve ever been saltwater fishing, then you understand by now just how much saltwater fish fight back. It’s important that you use the correct fishing line but also that you tie a correct and durable knot. Try doing a Bimini Twist knot to strengthen the line!
Check Your Local Fishing Reports. Local fishing reports can tell you what kind of activity is going on and what kind of fish are feeding. This can help you plan out what gear and bait to bring. You can also check out inlets of channels to find great fish feeding spots. Use a marine chart to help you discover fish locations!
Try Chumming Your Fishing Location. Chumming is when you take your bait and throw it into a current so that it eventually brings the fish closer to you! Chumming the area you are fishing in can be a very quick and easy tip to attract hungry fish to your spot. Make sure to not throw it too far so they don’t steal the food and swim off!
