Deep Sea Fishing Lures
from: Rob LoreThere is almost an endless variety of deep sea fish available depending on how far you wish to travel to find them. 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 deep sea fishing lures will be large and baited. The deep sea fishing lures hooks must be kept as sharp as possible to allow for secure catching of these 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. 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 fishing lures trolled against the direction of current. Typically they will recommend diver type deep sea fishing lures that will move towards the bottom of the ocean, mimicking the action of the baitfish. Weighted deep sea fishing lures are always favored as weighted deep sea fishing lures 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. Grouper feed mostly on crabs, squid or even larger crawfish. Grouper typically hide in a hole or weedy area and attack their prey and then retreat. Jigs and plugs are often ideal deep sea fishing lures for snagging grouper, especially in the spring when grouper 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 deep sea fishing 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 on rock or outcroppings. Deep sea fishing lures that resemble crayfish, minnows or squid are ideal for this type of bottom of the ocean fishing.
