Shore Angling
Shore angling is a popular sport that is enjoyed by millions. The one great plus of shore angling is that no boat is needed. With shore angling you have freedom of movement and no hassles with unloading and launching a boat. There is something special about shore angling that a boat doesn't offer. That is that shore angling seems to put you a little closer to nature. Shore angling doesn't have the confines that a boat does.
Fly fishing is a style of shore angling that has caught on in popularity in recent years. Many people equate fly fishing with mountain trout streams. The truth is that many types of fish can be caught on a dry fly. Bone Fish in Florida are great to catch this way. Fly fishing for trout is a great sport that requires skill and determination. By squeezing down the barb on the hook it can be easily removed and leaves the fish undamaged and ready to fight again after release.
Shore angling does not mean small fish by any means. Many people assume that a boat is needed to catch the big ones. That is simply not the case. Huge sturgeons are regularly caught off the bank in brackish marshes. Migrating salmon are great fun to catch by shore angling in the rivers where they run. Large mouth bass weighing up to eight pounds or more are easily caught by shore angling. Shore angling off of piers put a fisherman in close contact with fish of all sizes, some the size of the fishermen themselves.
Successful shore angling requires some preparation. The right pole for the right type of fishing is a basic rule of shore angling. A smaller flexible pole would be required for negotiating brushy stream banks while shore angling for mountain trout. A larger pole would be used to shore angle in ponds and lakes for bass. Yet a larger pole is needed for shore angling on ocean beaches so you can cast past the breakers and have the pole strength to reel in the bigger fish that the ocean has to offer.
Another wonderful aspect of shore angling is that if you aren't a catch and release shore angler, you get to eat the fish you catch. Pan fried mountain trout in butter and almonds is an all time favourite. Catfish fillets dredged in egg wash then breaded and deep fried are a southern classic. Fish kabobs are a treat that await you if you plan to try your hand at shore angling. Bass baked whole stuffed with lemon slices is truly mouth watering to contemplate. Who doesn't love fish? Shore angling is fun, healthy, and can keep you supplied with a varied assortment of delicious fish.
