Descripción: Your Quick Guide to Ocean and Gulf FishingWhether you’re an expert freshwater angler or are new to casting a line with rod and reel, saltwater fishing is a unique experience. Coastal waters along the Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean, and Gulf of Mexico are filled with fish―many of which are reachable without a boat. Fishing from piers, jetties, or in the surf is wonderful fun and can be very productive. However, it’s different than fishing in a lake or river. Acclaimed author and expert angler Dave Bosanko provides the information you need to get started catching saltwater fish.Applicable to all coastal waters, this handy guide covers such topics as where to fish, what tackle to use, how to rig your line, and which types of bait are best. The pocket-sized booklet is organized and color-coded by fishing location for ease of use. Depending upon where you are, turn to the pier, jetty, or surf section to find the details most applicable to you. Surf & Pier Fishing also includes safety tips, plenty of full-color images, and an instructional illustration for reading the surf. Dave further provides his favorite tips―so you’ll be fishing like a pro along the coast in no time.With this guide in hand, you can quickly and economically learn what you need to know. It’s conveniently sized to keep in your tackle box, backpack, or back pocket, so it’s always there when you need it. Whether you’re visiting the coast or are a coastal resident, this guide can get you started catching saltwater fish.About the AuthorDave Bosanko was born in Kansas and studied engineering before following his love of nature to degrees in biology and chemistry from Emporia State University. He spent thirty years as staff biologist at two of the University of Minnesota’s field stations. Though his training was in mammal physiology, Dave worked on a wide range of research projects ranging from fish, bird and mammal population studies to experiments with biodiversity and prairie restoration. An avid fisherman and naturalist, he has long enjoyed applying the fruits of his extensive field research to patterning fish location and behavior, and observing how these fascinating species interact with one another in the underwater web of life.Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.Pier FishingThere are lots of piers along our coasts, and many are great places to fish. In some areas, specifically constructed fishing piers make food and bait available for purchase. Most fishing piers are abandoned bridges, but you may be able to get permission to fish from short pieces of dock, as well. Some of these piers are very productive―others not so much. But most structures built into the water will attract some fish during some part of the day. Ask at the local bait shop where to find good public piers―and when and with what people are using to catch fish.Special Equipment: You will not need too much extra equipment to fish from a pier, but there are things that make it easier. Look around to see what other anglers are using on the pier. One thing you’ll need to figure out is how to land a fish that is too heavy to lift with your line. Walking your fish to the shore is sometimes possible, but a round crab net on a stout line is a better option. Often someone nearby will help you.When: The general rule of coastal fishing is that a rising tide (flood tide) or a falling tide (ebb tide) is better fishing than the time between tides (slack tide). This mostly holds true for piers. However, fish that live and feed around the pier pilings are always present. Some short piers in shallow water may only be productive at high tide. Many crabs and baitfish are more active in the dark, so fishing at night can be very productive. Lighted piers in shallow water may yield good catches at night but nothing during the day.
