By Alicia Hunter


There are many ways for one to spend his break. There are also many places where one can spend it at. The choices that one has are vast. There are even many choices for company. You can spend your spare time alone, with friends or with family. One needs to choose carefully the how, who and where of his break to maximize the time to ensure that it is relaxing, fun and stress free. One option for spending time away is with Morehead City fishing.

You need to time your trip well. Your efforts will have been for nothing if you go at a time when fishes are not up and feeding. At spring, your best chances will be late afternoon until early evening, during summer go early in the morning or late afternoon. At fall, best chances are in the afternoon, it is also during this time when aquatic animals feed to gain weight to prepare for winter. The temperature is ideal for aquatic animals to surface and feed. During extreme temperature, catch will be low.

You can choose from many techniques to employ when going to fish. It all depends on what aquatic animal you wish to catch or where you plan to do so. Most common are hand gathering, angling and netting. Your knowledge on aquatic animals, their behavior and various techniques will help you make the decision on what to use.

Preparation of baits and the equipment used is just as fun. There are many you can choose from still. Natural baits include grubs, leeches, meal worms and more. If your bait is not natural, it is a lure. They come in different shapes, sizes and colors.

When the fish is on the hook, it is time to for you to retrieve it. It can be tricky because the fish would struggle to be free. Retrieve the line as quick as possible while lowering your rod until it points to the fish. Pause and then carefully raise your rod. When it is up at an 11:00 pose repeat the process up until the catch is near and ready for it to be landed.

Use caution in landing your catch. Many anglers will use the index finger and the thumb to grip catch at its lower jaw. This holds its jaws wide open and paralyzes it temporarily.

You may also grab it by its mouth or its belly to be able to remove its hook. It is best to use a net to land a bigger catch. Just place it in the water and lead the catch into it head first. Those that have sharp teeth should be handled around its body. Others, such as the Atlantic salmon, have strong tails, you can grasp them by the front of the tail fin.

Regardless of the purpose of your trip, remember that you will be the one who is responsible in keeping your environment safe and yourself too. Practice care including with the aquatic animals. You should do so especially when your trip is for catch and release.

Morehead City fishing is a fun adventure for you. Take your family for a great bonding experience. You can also choose to enjoy the solitude if you like.
