Fishing rods? i have questions.?
I know about fishing, im from an island were the general public fishes for a living. we have big charter boats and go out off shore. I want to know more so i can talk fishing better.
any info you can give me about different types of rods, fish you catch offshore, the amount you catch, etc. anything at all.
Where are you? Fishing methods and the fish targeted vary considerably depending on where in the world you are.
In general, offshore fishing is trolling -- dragging a lure or bait behind the boat. But off southern California and Baja California, there's a lot of offshore fishing done by casting baits or artificials from a non-moving boat. Casting outfits generally use lighter line and longer rods. Depending on the fish, you can use line from about 12 pound test on up to the heaviest tackle made (130 pound test).
The fish targeted can range from 10 pounds to several hundred pounds; species include several kinds of tuna, several kinds of sharks, marlin, dorado (mahi-mahi), wahoo, yellowtail, and others. If the boat is bottom fishing over a reef, there are dozens of species which can be caught, again depending on where in the world you are, ranging from a pound up to a few hundred pounds in size.
People have filled books with information about this stuff. For a start you might search out the websites of some of the charter fishing companies in your area, then do online research on the fish and methods mentioned on the websites.
