Anyone ever been saltwater fishing?
So I'll be the first to admit that I have been to the coast and not ventured out into the ocean in the attempt to catch some fish. What I am wondering here is whether any of the lures or techniques can be applied to the freshwater realm? There have to be some similarities I would think, but also some great differences. I'm thinking this could bring about an edge fishing inland that most people don't think about.
So have any of you ever used some saltwater fishing tackle? If so, can you give me any insight into whether you think there are any techniques that could be applied to the freshwater fishing world that most are not currently applying? I have to believe that there are some golden nuggets buried in the annals that would be great to use in a freshwater lake. I am always trying to fine tune my techniques so as to gain any possible advantage. Heaven knows with the advent of electronics these days and the way people use them, any non technical advantage to be gained would be very helpful.
I was saltwater fishing this weekend. We caught one snook on a rapala crankbait. Tried Senko’s, tubes, slugo’s and grubs. Small pinfish hit the tubes and grubs, but for the most part they were only interested in the tails. After about 2-3 bites they had removed the tails completely. I would bet that Gulp makes some baits that would work well in the ocean.
Pat,
That is a good idea about Gulp. Thanks for the insight into salt water fishing in the ocean. I guess a lot of lures that work in freshwater also work in salt water. Great to know.
Howdy,
Found you via Outdoor Bloggers Summit. Great stuff here that my son and I will enjoy.
One thing that I have thought about is the use of kites to get a bait way out there on a lake. It wouldn’t be a difficult thing to do. Just requires more equipment!
I’ll have to give the idea a little more thought.

Albert,
I will have to do some research on kites and how to use them. Would definitely take freshwater fishing to places that it hasn’t been before!
