Strategies For Saltwater Fishing From The Shore
Did you know that saltwater fishing from shore is an exciting way to catch many different species of fish? It offers opportunities that you won’t have with any other type of fishing.
When shore fishing you can take a small boat out to the coves and other unpopulated areas to reach places where many species are just waiting for a serious angler to come along and entice them. You also have the option of fishing off rocks, piers, docks and the shoreline. This is great for people that do not have access to a boat every time they want to go fishing.
With all the different types of saltwater fish found in the oceans comes a variety of strategies to help you catch the most possible fish every time you go out.
When it comes to being successful a lot of saltwater shore fishing is based on experience and trial and error. However, there are a few strategies that can add to your success and help you improve your skills at saltwater fishing.
Strategies Used for Shore Fishing
One of the biggest problems anglers encounter is not being able to get the bait to where the fish are. Therefore, you need to try different methods until you find one that gets the bait in the middle of fish.
How deep you need to fish will depend on the type of species you are fishing for and the time of year you go fishing.
It is recommended that when using scent bait you change it often even if nothing has hit it. This should be done at least every twenty to thirty minutes. The reason for this is because after bait has been underwater for awhile it looses it smell and appeal preventing you from getting a bite.
When you notice that everyone around you is catching fish but you are not having any luck at all, try changing the size of the bait you are using. It is a good possibility that the bait will either be small or too big for the fish in that area.
When saltwater shore fishing, the retrieval is extremely important. If you reel in the line very slowly you have a good chance of snagging a fish on the way in. This has happened many times in the past.
Don’t be afraid to experiment with shiny tackle and beads. Sometimes these will attract the fish faster than anything else you could use and you will never know how successful you can be unless you try.
Avoid populated areas where there are people everywhere. Not only will you be distracted by everyone around you but all the noise discourages the fish from taking the bait.
Early mornings and late evenings are the best times to go shore fishing. This is when the beaches and waters are less crowded and when the fish tend to be the most active when it comes to feeding. Be sure to bring a quality Spinning Reel – I would suggest Shimano Fishing Reels, Daiwa Reels or Penn Reels.
Where to Search for the Saltwater Fish
It is well-known that different species of fish hang out in different areas and depths of the water. It is for this reason where to search for the saltwater fish of your choice will mainly depend on what species you are fishing for.
Still, there are some basic rules that apply that will narrow your search and make it easier for you to know where to begin.

What is the difference between fishing for bass and fishing for pike?
I have fished bass for many years now and want to start fishing for pike as well. I have caught a pike or two while fishing for bass, and just wondering if I have to do anything differently to specifically fish for pike. Do they prefer deeper water? Bigger lures? Shiny lures?Do they bite in the morning, night? Or do I just keep Fishing for bass, but use a steel leader.
Thanks for any help.
Hello you cant catch pike in many ways they are a preditor fish which is why you caught them bass fishing. You can use spinners, most work well big and small i use ones called spoons, large silver and shinney and pull them through the water fast. You can use dead baits on the bottom, herring are a good bait. You can attach a dead bait to the hook and reel it back fast and slow this will often temp a pike to take the bait.
Fishing under ice (ORIGINAL)

Couple of things about this video:
Camera I used was Sony HDR-SR11 with Amphibico HD Elite housing.
The Wheelbarrow was saved from the bottom of the lake and I have used it many times after that.
The rubber duck and the balloon are also home with me.
None of the divers got any permanent damage either.
And yes, we had a lot of fun making this video.

What fishing equipment do I need for fishing along the shore?
Me and my uncle have decided to go fishing along the shore to catch some fish from the sea. I am doing a bit of research on-line, as I have never fished at all before. What equipment would I need? I am not looking for anything too fancy, yet would want something that would work for me to use as a hobby. As I said I have never been fishing before so if possible, please use ’simple’ Fishing terms as I am new to all this. Any help would be much appreciated – thanks!
I have a check list which I look at every single time I’m about to leave because you’d be surprised how often you’ll forget something. For a normal trip out you will need:
Your rod and reel
Your tackle
Your bait
A sharp knife
A chopping board
A bucket to keep your catches in (optional)
A cloth to wipe your hands and hold the fish
Hat and Gloves (optional)
Spare spool of line for making rigs etc.
First aid kit.

Sometimes when you’re fishing, strange things happen…like, dogs swim up to you
UPDATE: the mystery is solved. However, it’s very sad and unfortunate:
http://www.abcactionnews.com/dpp/news/region_sarasota_manatee/53-year-old-jogger-killed-in-sarasota-dui-crash-according-to-fhp
The accident scene was about a mile from where I found Barney swimming. Our guess is that he was so freaked out and traumatized that he just wanted to get as far away from there as possible. And when he ran out of land, he took to the water. Another credible hypothesis is that he swam towards the kayak because the Chens are avid kayakers, and actually have two yellow ones.
Whatever the case, I feel lucky that I was there fishing, because there was no place for him to go and I don’t know if he could have made it much farther. He’s banged up, but mostly fine. Our hearts go out to the Chen family, who lost their mother.
UPDATE 2: Many people have asked what they can do in light of this terrible tragedy. I have been in touch with the Chen family. They suggested (and I wholeheartedly second) that you make a donation to Mothers Against Drunk Driving in the name of “Donna and Barney Chen” to help prevent this from happening again. Here’s the link:
http://www.madd.org/donate/
NOTES:
* Yes, Barney is back with his family. I imagine they need him pretty bad right now. Dr. Chen reports that after the accident, Barney was suffering from what he thinks is something akin to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. He was uncharacteristically lethargic, and they have even had to carry him outside. He seems to be pulling out of it a bit though.
* Why is there a camera running? I usually keep a camera running when I fish, in case I catch the big one. It does happen, occasionally (see other videos in my profile if you are interested)
* The kayak is a Hobie Adventure. It is a kayak made specifically for Fishing. When turned down, the side floats allow me to stand up and fish.
* My brother got my mom some shamwows a couple years back as a gag gift. As corny as they are, they actually are pretty nice for fishing
