FISHING VISION

On the South Florida waters, eyewear is pretty much a given in this day and age of sun protection for the eyes and overall body in general. The most important thing when sight fishing to any species of fish is to be able to see the fish clearly. The most treasured piece of gear in your fishing arsenal is a quality pair of polarized sunglasses.

Glare, bottom color, surface texture, wind and fish’s uncanny ability to disguise itself make sight fishing the most challenging. Selecting the accurate polarized sunglasses can be the difference between seeing and catching fish. Good sunglasses are a must no matter what species you are looking for. Bedding bass,…

DOES COLOR MATTER IN TROLLING?

Saltwater Fishing in South Florida

There is an old saying that fisherman have used for ages: “match the hatch” which was introduced by fisherman who attempt to match whatever the fish is feeding on. The bait should mimic as closely as possible to the natural food the fish are feeding on. Matching the hatch is just streamlining the process, because of the factors that play in color choice, such as water clarity and cloud conditions. But there is no doubt that choosing the right colors can make a big difference in how fish respond to an offering.
