Deep Sea Fishing Lures For Different Species
from:There is almost an endless variety of deep sea fish available depending on how far you wish to travel to get in some quality fishing. On the American coasts the most common deep sea fishing species include mahi mahi, grouper, sharks, wahoo, marlin, kingfish, tarpon, barracuda, tuna and red snapper. Deep sea fishing lures will vary with the species that you are fishing for, but typically the lures will be large, baited, and the hooks must be kept as sharp as possible to allow for secure catching of these often large species.
Typically deep sea fishing lures will be most successful when used in trolling fishing parallel or beside reefs, natural outcroppings or within waters where baitfish are passing. A guide that knows the seasonal movement of both bait and sports fish is a worthwhile investment, and they can also assist with recommendations for deep sea fishing lures that will get the job done.
Many guides tend to favor three to five inch Rapala lures trolled against the direction of current. Typically they will recommend diver type lures that will move towards the bottom of the ocean, mimicking the action of the baitfish. Weighted lures are always favored as they are more stable and provide a more convincing presentation to the hunting sport fish. With most of the sport fish the deep sea fishing lures should be attached to the line with a steel test leader that is at least three to four feet in length. Species such as marlins, wahoos and even king mackerel will easily shed a monofilament leader or line with their razor sharp teeth.
Grouper, unlike the more aggressive sport fish like marlins and sailfish tend to stay closer to the bottom and hide rather than chase their prey. They feed mostly on crabs, squid or even larger crawfish and they typically hide in a hole or weedy area and attack their prey and then retreat. Jigs and plugs are often idea deep sea fishing lures for snagging grouper, especially in the spring when they are actively moving up to attack the passing schools or baitfish. Many anglers choose not to go after groupers when they are bottom feeding because they often will move back into caves or under rock ledges, resulting in lost lures and broken lines. Sometimes allowing the line to go slack will give the grouper confidence in coming out of the cave or structure, then they can be brought to the surface without rubbing the line or rock or outcroppings. Deep sea fishing lures that resemble crayfish, minnows or squid are ideal for this type of bottom of the ocean fishing.
