A land where you can hope to snag a hundred lb sailfish using unique gear, where sports fishing charters are available for a wide range of cities located along the coastline (Miami, Pompano & Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale, to name a few) and great fishing adventures an everyday story - that's the South Florida sport fishing trip for you!!

The Gold Coast in south Florida sport fishing trips area does live up to its name and provides fishermen many opportunities to reel in big Barracudas, Swordfish (known as the gladiator of the sea) and other species like the Mackerel, Kingfish and Amberjack. Of course, those looking out for different fishing holiday with customized fishing gear and tackle routine can rest their claims for fun on hoping to reel in the mighty sailfish - with a record 110 lbs of baggage it carries, it makes for a fine fishing tale!

Inventive anglers are known to play their best lures to snare a sailfish, as old hand at the fishing reel: Captain Vinnie LaSorsa of the GoodFellas Fishing Charters fame is known to do - sailfish reeled in by kite! The kite reeled in a mighty sailfish to Captain LaSorsa and crew-members who'd been luring the fish with live bait hanging from fishing kites, which had suspended hooks skimming the top of the waters; this action created rippling sound waves that attracted the big fish (tuna is also susceptible) and thus the story was told.

However, fishing for the big ones like the Sailfish and Tuna does call upon a huge amount of energy for the fisherman and a hearty breakfast is recommended before setting out to sea - for the sailfish is the hardiest saltwater fish to capture. Those who are not convinced can move on to grappling with sharks on the reel, we say!

And if you take us seriously, then it's Captain Mark the Shark, located out of Miami Beach, that you need; he knows all the varieties - be it the Hammerhead, Bull shark, or the Thresher, he's one skipper that has the reputation of holding a world record for reeling in these predators of the sea.

On the score of fishing tackle, when on a South Florida sport fishing trip, you can take the expert guidance of an experienced fisherman to differentiate between the different kinds of fishing rods, reels and baits best suited for deep sea fishing in waters known to him. These are namely, Penn Formula 2-speed reels, Black Bart Extreme Breakfast Teaser lures, saltwater fishing rods from the Shimano Tallus family and the Illand Black Hole lure. So, you are spoilt for choice when it comes to choosing gear and fishing holes both when on a South Florida sport fishing trip that can be limited to a day-trip or a close-to-shoreline one (e.g. Fort Lauderdale has fish a couple of mile off the coastline).

Thus, we find that booking a South Florida Sport fishing trip is not only the best way to get some outdoor angling fun but more great tips can be added to the avid angler's fund of knowledge by looking up the The South Florida Sport Fishing magazine and women to have their own contest here, called the Senorita Shootout. This is organized in Miami and Fort Lauderdale and women are known to catch all species of fish - from Blackfin Tuna to kingfish and the Wahoo. All types of timelines available for charters!

Rapala Limited 1st Edition Fishing Santa Figurine 'Tonttu Wader'

This work is issued in a strictly limited edition of 3000 after which the master mold will be destroyed to preserve the integrity of the edition. Get them while you still can, before it's too late!

A bright hot, sunny August day calls for a certain pattern to put Largemouth in the live well. That's when dunking comes into play. A bay or a whole lake for that matter, matted with weeds could send many of the hearty bass anglers home in frustration, but a true Bass angler welcomes the challenge!

Dunking requires simple tools for simple tactics. The first and most important tool is a long trigger rod. Keep in mind that you will be reaching for pockets in the weed growth so try to use something lengthy, but light and strong. I am 5'6" and a 6'10" or 7' rod is plenty long enough for my arms to hold all day. A good choice would be a heavy action Quantum P.T tour edition trigger rod or a Shimano Crucial heavy action extra fast rod. Both rods are light and tough and you won't tire yourself wrestling with them all day. For reel selection, well, for dunking Largemouth I think it really doesn't matter what type of bait cast reel you use because, as I will explain, it's all in the rod, the line and you!

The Bass hide in the weeds during sunny hot days and keep themselves nice and cool under the canopy of weed growth, so the more weeds the better. Dunking works best in relatively shallow water say, 6 to 8ft. Deeper water can be dunked if one has arms and a rod long enough. The simple trick to dunking is basically freeing up just enough line from the reel so as to touch bottom then engaging it while having your free hand and the rod to do the rest. With your bait on bottom and the rod just above the water give your rod a few tugs to give the bait some life, then without using your reel, pull the bait swiftly out of the water using the length of your rod. At the same time the other hand pulls away the line as opposed to reeling the line in. To submerge the bait keep your rod tip up and your bait dangling about mid rod length and direct it to the next pocket while letting go of the line so that the bait can work its way down to bottom once again. This is done as you're drifting or using the bow mount to move you about. You can imagine how thankful you'll be to for purchasing a light strong rod!

A shore line thick with pencil reeds and bulrush is prime 'dunkin' area too. Sometimes pitching and flipping the inner pockets of these weeds just isn't enough to get the big hogs to take the bait, you have to get deeper and deeper to get to the Bass. Basically extend your arm and rod as far as you can reach then disengage the reel to drop the bait into the thick of it. Engage the reel, and without reeling in line, use the rod, while grasping the line to pull the bait out and drop once again into the next pocket. This method of dunking was responsible for two of the top 4 finishes in a tournament that I will never forget. A 4th place finish left my 'butt' awful sore from me kicking myself over and over again! I was dunking off shore, not in shore for my Bass, but keep in mind that dunking alone was responsible for 3 of the 4 top placements.

We all know that logic is a key factor in any type of fishing. Who would have thought that such an easy method of catching Bass could exist! But believe it or not the simplicity in dunking for Largemouth is just that, 'logical'!

Evair Fishing Boot -Mens

Lightweight and waterproof in one!

Made of one piece molded EVA with ergonomic arch, these innovative boots are as comfortable as they are practical, making it easier on your feet for those all-day fishing trips. The molded air channel system circulates air within the boots to help your feet cool, while keeping them dry. Feature non marking outsole with water-chanel design, which provides extra grip on a soaked boat deck. Vcut ankle for easy on and off. Cleans easily with soap and water and towel dry.

Specialized reels, to me, are gold out on the water. And what is a specialized reel you ask? Well, a reel with special added tools such as flipping switches fit the category. These reels specialize in flipping, of course, with the added bonus of good quick reeling with high ratios. Line capacity is also a special item because when fishing the Carolina rig or in deep water, for example, the more line the better.

When skipping docks line capacity reels are not important as far as I am concerned. What should be special in this case is the speed of the reel and type. Spinning is best with a 6.0:1 gear ratio because free spooling ease can be had and slack line can be kept at a minimum. These characteristics are what make this type of reel special for skipping.

Certain features are incorporated into reels for a reason. Fast trigger spinning reels like the Spirex from Shimano is a good special tool to have when working crank baits or stick baits. Reel it home, then just simply press the trigger and cast again and again. All one has to do is reel back enough and 'presto', always in the same position. Now try setting the hook on a Bass while dragging a tube with this type of reel and you will have that ever present line of travel to the trigger position. And that could mean the loss of a good fish. It is still, however, a specialized reel, in my opinion.

I know, believe me, specialized reels require special budgets, especially when they are many and the dollars are few. There are many reels that will do many tasks, special or not, and when choosing a reel, keeping things in perspective is key. What will we be doing with this reel? Do we need a high gear ratio or large line capacity reel? Or, better yet, do we specialize in one rig only? Hey, don't knock it! Many tournament anglers I know use jigs and trailers exclusively, and carry two or three of the same specialized combo with the only difference being jig colors. It works for them, so it might work for you too. But for me, well, I am partial to all my specialty combos. I like to be ready for any special circumstance where Bass can be had. I love a good challenge where variety and versatility is constantly utilized!

Now how about specialized rods or combos, fishing line, baits, rigs, the list is endless. But keep in mind that each and every little special item incorporated into fishing products is there for good reason; and that is to put fish in the live well using the best resources and technology available! And that, my Bass angler friends, is a fact!
