Caribbean Fishing Techniques
Marlin:
In Costa Rica, most blue marlin caught in the Caribbean Coast are strong males hard to fish, 500 yards of 80# line with drag set correctly will slow down and catch a marlin. Or you could get a 700 yard reel with 50# line. That weight are often female. Canes are five-and-a-half to six feet, usually E-Glass, with a minimum of tip and stripper roller records. The rod butt has to have a trolling gimbal, otherwise it will not set in the fishing boat trolling slots properl .
Saifish:
Methods that are most incredible, nevertheless, involve utilizing fly gear, especially since baitfish are actually scared out of the water by the sailfish quite generally. You can provoke the sails with other trolled lines and live bait that you let them bit but keep out of reach until they're near the stern. Then you can seize the live bait out of the water and change it with the fly bait, which the enthusiastic sails will instantly assault.
Tuna:
Methods of large scale tuna fishing have been improved constantly due to the operation cost factor. More and more fishery areas are putting very high interest in developing tips and gear in tuna catching zones. The idea of responsible fisheries arose in 1990s and generated about a code of conduct for competent fisheries agreed upon by the international community in 1995.
Wahoo:
Wahoos are particularly dynamic at daybreak and this is when the majority of the action for anglers targeting wahoo occurs, though they will strike on and off throughout the day. Wahoo can be particularly spooky of exorbitant boat noise and angling force and will become very shy.
Utilizing light 60 pound wire leader with a double hook trap rig set up is the way to go for trolling live bait and in the fall season this is the most productive methods for consistently catching wahoo.
Dorado:
The first step is to be properly equipped. Any boat targeting offshore species should have at least the following: A flying gaff, fixed-head gaff, gloves, knife, pliers, wire cutters, and if you are into tag-and-release fishing, a tagging stick and supply of tags. This piece of equipment can mean the difference between landing or losing a larger saltwater game fish.
Using proper methods when you bring a big fish boatside is also critical. Offshore action can come at any time, usually when you least expect it. What often separates the winners from the losers is advance planning and preparation. It is important to consider all the possible scenarios and obstacles on your boat beforehand - not once you have got a huge fish in front of you. This means having all of the necessary equipment out and readily accessible.
Roosterfish:
Equipment that is most suited for use from fishing boats are medium action bait rods, rated for 20 to 50 lb. Line, 6 to 7 feet long, matched with a quality high speed reel, with conventional casting type preferred. Penn 500 s & 535, Shimano TLD 15-20, Daiwa SL50H or similar models, all can be good choices. Monofilament lines are standard, with the majority of anglers using 20 to 50 lb. test; 30 lb. seems to be the most popular strength of line for trolling bait.
Ordinarily a 4 to 6 foot length of mono leader is used, with 50 to 80 lb. preferred. It depends on the clarity of the water and how aggressive the fish are.
Snook:
Snook are very smart and sometimes unusually stubborn and are one of the strongest fighting fish for their size and also great tasting, when in Costa Rica seasons.
The fly is lighter in weight and will not spook the fish on delivery. You have got to cross their eyes when you set the hook and hang on, because if they get a opportunity to turn their head they will take you right by their favorite barnacle-encrusted dock piling and most surely cut you off. Other than summer night lighted-dock fishing, we do target them spring and fall with spring being my favorite.
