Although fun and exciting, angling is a challenging hobby itself. But if you’re up for a challenge and an angling activity that is out of the box, why not try sight fishing? This is an unorthodox way to land your preferred fish but it requires patience and mastery. Read on to find out more about this activity and some tips you can follow.<\/p>\n

What is Sight Fishing?<\/h2>\n

This type of fishing is different from tossing lines and waiting for a fish to bite your bait. Sight fishing is when you spot a fish first before you lure it with your bait. Now this activity may sound simple but it takes precise timing and luck. Yet, don\u2019t get discouraged. The challenging aspect of this type of fishing is what makes it more exciting. Sight fishing is usually done in shallow waters or where the water is clear even when it\u2019s deep. But stalking fish are possible to do in a lot of areas.<\/p>\n

Sight Fishing Tips<\/h2>\n

It may look fun but, again, it\u2019s no walk in the park. If you want to go serious with sight fishing, here are some tips that are to consider.<\/p>\n

Think Of The Sun\u2019s Position<\/h3>\n

When you fish with your sight you will need light to have your back. But it doesn\u2019t mean that the sun should be behind you. Expert anglers would suggest that the sun should be around 45 to 40 degrees to one side. In this angle, you would be able to see fish without the shadow of the boat in front of you.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s About THE Time<\/h3>\n

As an angler, you already get that visibility is essential. But when sight fishing, the best time to do so is between 10 in the morning and 2 in the afternoon. But, during this time the sun will be harsh and unforgiving. In that case, make sure to protect your skin and eyes from the harmful rays. Here\u2019s an article about total sun protection.<\/p>\n

Check the Weather<\/h3>\n

Apart from being sunny, there are other factors to consider when sight fishing. Seasoned anglers suggest to sight fish when the wind is blowing from the east or southeast. To add, fish during high tide and when the pressure is high. Of course it\u2019s hard to pick such a setting but that doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t do the activity without one factor or 2.<\/p>\n
