Saltwater Fishing

Saltwater fishing has long been considered not only one of the most appreciated forms of fishing by fishermen, but one of the most appreciated sports by people who are not necessarily salt water fishing enthusiasts. Saltwater fishing, deep sea or deep blue fishing, as it is know colloquially, is considered by many as the most rewarding style of fishing with catches ranging from wayward salmon to sharks that can weigh upwards of a few tons.
Saltwater fishing is a rather broad label for a category of angling that includes a variety of different styles of fishing, each worthy in its own right. For example, the two more common types of saltwater fishing are surf fishing, also known as bait casting or surf cast, and pier fishing. The primary differences between surf casting and pier fishing are that surf casting is generally done from the shoreline or shallows, while pier fishing has the added advantage of a pier or jetty.
Surfcasting and pier fishing both offer a more cost effective fishing experience alternative to deep sea fishing. However, deep blue fishing offers the unique chance of catching a variety of trophy fish, including marlins and sharks and host of others.
Although deep sea fishing or big game fishing generally involve larger trophies, one shouldn't make the mistake that either pier fishing or surf casting does not yield its share of big catches. It isn't unheard of for a land based fisherman to hook a fifty or sixty pound black drum or striped bass or on occasion, a wayward salmon. Of course, the challenge of the catch depends on the tackle, and location is a main factor in the type of yield. Even on the same coastline, two different anglers can encounter completely different species of fish.
Pier and surf casting are very popular worldwide. In the United States, fisherman can be found along the coasts of both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Depending on location and species, a wide variety of bait can be considered, from clams, squid and even eel, as well as artificial lures.
When one considers saltwater fishing, deep sea fishing is the most commonly associated style and has a particularly strong following. After considering the fees of owning or renting their own boat and the cost of tackle though, most people are turned away by the cost of deep sea fishing, especially since it can run into the tens of thousands of dollars. There is an industry that caters to the weekend deep sea fisherman. For those that aren't ready to make the financial investment but are drawn to the dream of bringing home there own world record breaking catch, most oceanside cities have a plethora of charter companies that supply guides, tackle, boats and a host of amenities
