    Fishing fast running tides

    in Fishing Chat

    Posted

    As tef1on said, if you are targetting big fish you don't need to tell the difference between tide movements and bites, when big fish bite they gulp the whole thing and run away. I stopped worrying about my rod tip movement, cast, put the rod in the holder, loosen the drag (or use a baitrunner reel) and relax, sit in a chair and sip some hot drink. The reel will wiiiiiiiiiiiiiizzzzzzzz when a fish is on, I don't even use a starlight or a bell, the noise from the reel is enough even when the waves are strong.

    This also applies for good size whitings, if I need to strike, it usually mean smaller fish.

    If you want your bait to stay in one place, you should use no-roll sinkers (pyramid, rectangular, flat) or you can try the breakway sinkers (also called spider sinkers). They have kind of hooks that anchor to the sand and has a release system so when you reel it back it unhook from the sand. After casting the breakaway sinkers, let it sink and start reeling back until you feel good resistance, this means the anchor is made.
