The Info Treasure Trove

Angling is oftentimes thought of as a solo spare-time activity; a solitary fishing zealot departing from his house early hours on a bitterly cold winter day in order to find some obscure location by a river, with his flask of hot drink to keep him from numbing his hands. While that stereotype is pretty true for a well known group of fishing zealots, it is also an extremely misrepresentative picture of the majority of fishing hobbyists who see angling very much as being a people-facing event, getting involved in a social group and at the same time being a great justification to take trips around the United Kingdom and even internationally by getting engaged in fishing vacations.

To add to that, angling contests have become very popular - these being a fantastic reason for people to get together and acquire the latest angling tips, while making the perfect excuse to take a small vacation. In point Of fact, some individuals suppose that angling is only a justification to meet people and travel! However, fishing is all the same taken very seriously by many of its enthusiasts and they’re motivated by the social scene primarily to find out more regarding fishing via swapping advice and tips with fellow anglers.

Over the last decade, the web has genuinely helped grow the fishing communities - via forums, blogs, Twitter etc, it’s now simple to organise or just attend a fishing contest or informal get-together, while exchanging handy tips and tricks on forums and blogs.

In regards to angling gear the net has certainly aided people in hunting down the most suitable rod, reel, tackle, sea fishing rods etc due to the fact that nowadays they can compare with numerous online sellers rather than just being limited to their provincial angling store.

Another day in cabo san lucas fishing for stripped marlin. Anyone who has caught one of these fish know they put up a huge fight. Well it was about four in the morning when the alarm went off, time to roll out of bed for another day of tag and release fishing. There is nothing better than spending the day on the water with some good buddies collecting data on such a remarkable species. So as we got to the boat our friend and captain was already at the docks warming up the boat and buying bait from one of our locals.

So once we got there it was just time to untie the boat and push off for a day on the water. Well once we got past the port captain on the way out of the harbor, we stated to talk about where we wanted to fish for the day. We thought since there was plenty of the day boats heading up north to the pacific side we decided that we might head up that way as well. So I said to the guys why don’t we go hit up the golden gate fishing spot. This is a spot that many of the locals take there day trips to, because it is known for producing tons of fish. The problem is sometimes you will get out there and it looks like the whole marina is parked out there on this one fishing spot. Anyways it was early and we made it out there before all of the day boats arrived. So as we released all the lures in the water and started to fish, we stated seeing alot of birds feeding up about a mile north so we fished our way up there.

Once arriving to the spot where the birds were feeding it was like marlin madness. I mean there was about 15 marlin I could see right at first, and I am sure there was more below. I told the guys to pull in all the lures and put on live bait since that’s what there feeding on. I got us right up on a nice sized marlin and we got a bait right in front of his nose, and he took it. The reel started screaming, and I think from the co motion of one fish being hooked up we hooked up two more right away. So now we have 3 marlin hooked up and its a mad house in the cockpit of the boat, three guys fishing and one guy running around getting tags ready. Well needless to say that day we tagged and released over 10 stripped marlin, making it one of the best days of marlin fishing for us.

We never take any game fish from our waters as they are becoming over fished. So please remember when fishing only keep what you need, and just take pictures, your friends at home will like the pictures just as much as three of four coolers full of fish.
