Fishing boat rod setup

It is used for competition, for catching fishes like trout, brass, etc. However, if you are looking forward to getting your hands on a decent amount fishes from the lake then you have to be well prepared. You cannot go with any random set up and fish. You need to set up the fishing rod properly so that you can hook some fishes.

You will be needing some items, you may know about all these but still, I have listed each thing you will be needing. You know it already, but there are different types of rod and reel and you have to pick a suitable combo for lake fishing.

A spinning reel and rod should do well for lake fishing. Some shops provide reel and rods in rent. There are different sizes of fishing hooks suitable for different kinds of fish species.

And make sure you choose the hook that suits your targeted fish. For example, if you are looking forward to catching trout 4 to 12 size hook should be fine. The fishing line should come with the rod and reel. Because lake fishes are not as heavy as saltwater fish, so it will be okay. There are several kinds of fishing bait, and you have to choose bait that will attract your target fish. You can use artificial baits, or insects, or worms as bait, they also work great. The floater is what keeps the hook from sinking down.

However, there is one thing you need to think about when using a floater. If the target fish group stays on the topwater or middle water, then a floater is a must. It helps set the hook, but also takes some of the pressure off the mouth of the fish, lessening the chances of you losing your fish after a hard-fought battle.

You need things like rubber tubing, monofilament, things like that. I feel like this may not be something that would actually be cheaper to make yourself since I doubt you can purchase just a few inches of rubber tubing or line.

There are few things worse than losing a fish during a fight. I feel like most of us assume that a hook will be part of any fishing setup, so why mention the hook specifically? Yeah, a regular silver hook will work, but this is where I kind of let myself have fun. I had no idea before I started Kokanee fishing that there were so many different kinds of hooks! As the name implies, it has a spinner attached to it, but it also has several beads, which I can only surmise are meant to reflect light or are in colors that will attract the fish.

Definitely something you could make yourself! I feel like the super creepy angler fish in Finding Nemo that lured in Dory and Marlin. And, as I said, hooks are just a fun place to have fun. Ok, bait. Kokanee is a weird fish. They filter them through their gills. This matters because, with a lot of fish, you fish with bait that resembles the things they have in their diet. The most popular things to use are maggots, shrimp, or shoepeg corn.

The maggots or shrimp can be real or fake, but having them be some weird, bright fluorescent color is a good idea. I use shoepeg corn. Many, if not most kokanee fishermen do. Keep it tightly sealed so none of the smell or concentrated taste gets out. These scents can either be purchased or made from different ingredients and things you have around the house and in your pantry. I found ALL of these ideas online, so peruse the internet and try out new things.

Lots of people are open to sharing what has made them successful. Garlic is one of those scents. Kokanee salmon are an incredibly curious and aggressive fish, and we use this to our advantage. Using a scent that makes them mad will work just as well.

If your is to use small jigs then a big beefy rod is not going to give you the type of feedback that you will need. And, conversely if you are targeting much bigger species that require and rod and reel setup with a lot of backbone then a lighter setup is virtually useless.

If you can have a chat with the local fishermen that are already fishing there. Some of them may well be fishing on that same pier all their life and their advice will be thoroughly invaluable when it comes to what kind of tackle you will need. The best pier fishing rod for a beginner roughly 7 feet in length and have a medium power rating.

Paired with a spinning reel and 15 lb mono. Graphite is usually preferred over a fiberglass rod when doing lighter work as again they will have much better tip sensitivity. Mono has a bit more stretch in it but is better suited to beginners.
