Do you need equipment to go sea fishing in Australia? How to choose the sea fishing company? What if I don't know English?
First of all, you don't need to bring any fishing gears with you, Australia's professional sea fishing boats are equipped with all the necessary fishing gears for sea fishing, you only need to bring your personal belongings, such as sunscreen and wear comfortable warm, waterproof and windproof clothes and shoes.
Choosing the right sea fishing company is crucial for you to experience sea fishing for the first time. The most common in Australia is a boat that combines sea fishing and sightseeing.
The advantage is that 10-20 people can be on board at the same time and it is relatively inexpensive. However, the disadvantage is that this kind of boat can not travel to the sea, and the hull is not stable enough. Traveling a little farther is very easy to cause seasickness. So it's not uncommon for a full-day trip to take 2 hours and then return to the ship.
Because of the lack of access to the sea, it is not possible to catch larger species. You can only catch some smaller coral fish. But this does not experience the real fun of sea fishing at all. Therefore, it is highly recommended to consult a professional.
A professional sea fishing boat is basically piloted by an extremely experienced local western captain. After noticing this problem, we have trained a group of Chinese guides to provide translation and fishing instruction during the fishing process, so that communication and skills will not be difficult.
Will I get seasick while fishing?
The problem of seasickness varies from person to person. The trolling method we recommend today is one that minimizes the risk of seasickness.
Normally, there is no problem with taking seasickness medication correctly. However, the first point to note is that breakfast on the day of the trip should not be too full and should be light. The second point is that the best time to take seasickness medicine is 1.5-2 hours before boarding the ship. If you take it after boarding, you'll be seasick before the medicine reaches its optimal state.
What to do with your catch in the Australian waters?
Australia is also very strict about the protection of fish stocks. Fish that don't fit the size need to be released immediately or you will incur heavy fines. Fish that meet the size can be taken away. Some of the sea fishing boats are equipped with exquisite kitchenettes where you can taste your catch on site.
What kind of fish can I catch while sea fishing in Australia?
There are so many species of fish that you can catch while sea fishing in Australia. As an experiencer, I would recommend a trip to the far reaches of the ocean to fight the giants - Marlin, Ghost Blade, Mackerel, Coyote, and Bluefin Tuna can be the best experience in the shortest amount of time.
The guide will capture the wonderful moment when you get on the big fish in time, and take pictures to share with your friends after hauling on the deck. We believe it will be a great memory for your lifetime. Must Do
1: Ask your companion to go with you.
2: check the waves, tide, wind direction, Australia has two relatively professional website, one is willyweather, one is seabreeze, click on them, basically the most important to see the SWELL, TIDE, and WIND this three items is almost. SWELL is the height of the waves, the newcomers, willy on the waves more than 1 meter, seabreeze on the waves more than 1 meter. TIDE is the tide level, when the tide goes out to the lowest when it rises to the highest there is a display, look at the usefulness of this is two points, first, know the time of high tide, if you go to the point is flooded up, you have to come back before the tide rises. Otherwise, the sea water flooded over the road, there will be danger, and secondly, high tide is relatively more fish. You know.
3,: life jacket and non-slip shoes: as a new search must always remember, fishing must bring these two things, must, must, must. Australia every year fishing drowned no less than 100 people, a large part of the Chinese, is because of the lack of safety awareness, will swim is not much use, the waves are fierce, the bottom of the sea rock sharp, as long as a bit, you're almost there. Buy these two things, in general, the big outdoor stores are sold, basically buy a like this is almost
Life jackets probably have 2 kinds, one is shown in the picture above, a kind of airbag, try not to airbag, because every year to change the air.
There are 3 kinds of non-slip shoes, one kind is tall iso fishing shoes, not suitable for newbies, and also expensive, one kind is rubber shoes, rubber shoes with felt bottom and nail bottom two kinds of soles, both are okay. But the most commonly used, as well as the best results is a mountaineering can be set of chain spikes bottom, the following picture
These two things every fishing must be. The lifejacket pictured above is the airbag one that I said doesn't work well. The red ones over the outside of the shoes are the non-slip shoes I'm talking about. Life jackets are basically sold in big outdoor stores for around 50 AUD, and non-slip shoes are also sold in Asian owned tackle stores for around 50. If there is anything you don't know about these two things, NOMORE shy, please just private message me. Remember, ah, life is 10,000 times more important than fish, and when you go to the beach to fish, you must must wear these two things!!!!
After all these, let's talk about what else to prepare for fishing.
First of all, fishing in Australia, fishing license is a must, of course, you do not buy it is no big deal, because basically you go to a little bit out of the way and no one check, but it is not expensive, why carry a heart fishing it. Choose how long you want to buy the license for, there are, 3 days ($7, 1 month ($14, 1 year ($35, 3 years ($85, when you choose this he will ask you when you are going to go fishing and the date is counted from the day you fish. Not much else to say about it.
Tackle
The first general, newbie fishing, go to KMART or this BIGW to buy can be. Basically, if you're a newbie sinker, buy a rod over 7 feet, LINEWEIGHT over 4K will be fine, buy COMBO, that is, there are fishing wheels and rods combined is more cost-effective, this is enough to deal with most of the fish, and sturdy and durable. Then buy a reel of line, the poundage should be higher than the rod LINEWEIGHT, the reason is sinking is easy to hang, the poundage can be pulled back the probability is also high, basically I 40 lbs above the braid line (braidline can be, KMART buy if there are under 10 bucks. combo rods and reels basically in 50 or less. Also, buy another reel with less lbs than the main line for a secondary line. You can also buy a 8-ring, which is a small metal thing that looks like an 8, and hooks, because each manufacturer has a different number for each hook shape, so go to KMART and buy hooks that are about the size of an adult male's middle finger. And then there is the lead pendant, lead pendant buy olive or round is more cost-effective, because there are more, with the rod mentioned above, 30-60 grams of pendant can be.
Bait
Basically, the beginner's bait is to go to the supermarket to buy banana shrimp (bananaprawn try not to buy fishing tackle store river shrimp, because banana shrimp meat is more compact, expensive on the expensive a little. The approximate price is between 17 and 20, depending on how long you want to fish, basically two novices an afternoon consumed 1.5K, under the premise of a good bite. There's also sardines, which are sold at tackle stores, but they're very prone to dropping the bait while flinging, and don't work as well as banana shrimp, which are just a bit cheaper. Some people also take chicken or something to fish, have tried, hanging small fish are not allowed to eat, also firm, also cheap, but the bite is not too good. Suggest that newbies (2 buy 1K banana shrimp, and then a small bag of sardines, a large piece of chicken breast, play a day is not a problem. When there is no fish do not use shrimp, change sardines and chicken on, protect the shrimp until there is fish.
How to fish
First, find a spot. Basically use googlemap to search, if you are a newcomer, search the inner bend first, there are not as many fish, but it is relatively safe. When you arrive at the point you searched, there is a very, very important step is that you don't go down first, look at the point you want to fish from a distance, 10 minutes, no seawater can flood up, only then it means it is safe to go down. After you go down, then look for fish nests.
Recommended a few safe spots, there are not many fish but you can practice your skills, LAPEROUS, the scenery is good, safe, suitable for the girl, fish, on the Oh. The car is driven to the head, go down on the fishing. Or recommend a forum it ACfishingAussie-ChineseFishing Australia fishing forum Sydney fishing, Australia fishing, Australia fishing, SydneyFishing, Australiafishing, fishing tips inside a lot of fishing spots recommended.
2: After arriving at the fishing spot, put the fishing tackle and bait into the water absolutely, pay attention to is absolutely, can't hit the place. Then start threading hooks and tying lines. Basically, there are two kinds of sinker sets: the first one is RUNNINGSINKER, which is to put on a lead pendant on the main line first, then put on the eight-ring, then put on about half a meter of subline, and then put on the hook. The second one, the name of which I forgot, is to tie a loop of eight on the main line, then marry about 80 centimeters of subline, tie a lead drop at the end, bend the middle line, tie it, (this really won't describe it, and then put on the hook.
3: wear bait: banana shrimp peeling, cut 3 to 4 sections, along the curve of the shrimp meat through the line. Sardines are also cut 3,4 sections, through, note, must be hooked on the bone, and then the subline to tie a live knot, tied to the sardine. Chicken is cut into small pieces the size of a fingernail and threaded through. Note that the hook point must show a little bit out.
4: Shake the rod, first the main line to the place near the eight ring, pay attention to the hand of the fishing wheel, above the half-iron ring (well I do not know what that part is called the direction of the left, pinch the main line, open the line cup, parallel to the rod over the head, turn your head to look at the back of the head, to make sure that no one is (this is very important to shake the rod over the head, the rod in the rod with the surface of the sea in front of the about 45 degrees when the line is loosened, the fishing group fall into the sea, wait for 3, 4 seconds to close the line cup. The first thing you need to do is to turn off the line and put it in the cup.
5: stabbing fish: distinguish two conditions, one is a small fish peck, is the rod head will have a very slight, intermittent shaking, this is a small fish. The other is the waves, the waves pressure line rod head will slowly droop, and then back to the original state. In both cases, you don't need to reel in the rod, but if there is a persistent, large shake in the rod head, you need to jerk the rod upward. If the hook hits the fish, it will continue to shake, and this is the time to quickly reel in the line to prevent it from hanging up on the bottom. It won't be long before your first fish comes up.
Small TIP:
1: Safety is the most important, fishing is best to have a partner.
2: There is no need to rush to upgrade your equipment, you have to be more skilled than the equipment you have on hand before you think about upgrading.
3: If you have caught too many fish today, you can't fit them in your refrigerator, so put a few back if you can.
4: Keep your fishing area clean.
