Having An Extreme Surf Fishing In Tough Conditions

Extreme surf fishing connotes a lot of meeting for a fisherman. Does extreme surf fishing refer to the rugged outdoors, and inclement weather that one face during surf fishing? Extreme surf fishing may mean that fishermen is after a big game besides the everyday 4 to 6 lbs fishes. One thing is for sure, only a few would have the guts to fish under extreme weather conditions or go out in a kayak or boat to fish for big game.

The best time to go surf fishing is during autumn. Extreme weather conditions are still applicable during this time yet fishermen would always be in their fishing spots searching for their prized game. Despite the presence of high wind, they would still wade the water to surf fish. High wind makes the waves come in higher and the pounding a little bit stronger. Water clarity is not at its best condition during this time. In this extreme weather, the rugged and persistent fishermen would come out and try to beat out the others for the best fishing spots. Conflicts may occur between surf fishermen and anglers for the sweet spots where diminishing game feeds. Strong waves would smash tackles and bones. One can see people coming out of the water seeking medical help because of hooks embedded in their faces, hands and legs. Some consider fishing in this extreme condition as a rite of passage for a surf fisherman.

Extreme surf fishing may also refer to the type of game the anglers are trying to catch. For them, the best time for extreme surf fishing is during the summer time when the shark moves to warm waters, to inland waterways and beaches. This is the time for the sharks to perform its reproductive stage. For extreme surf fishermen, this is the opportune time to bag the catch of a lifetime.

Reeling this big game requires patience and fortitude that is why only a few can survive the extreme conditions that goes with it.
