Considerations for Safety and Success Before You Head Out
This fishing approach requires experience, both in angling and boat operation. Here's what you need to keep in mind:
Familiarity with Underwater Contours 1. Know the underwater layout well to avoid running aground or being overturned by breaking waves. 2. Tide Awareness Pay close attention to the tide. A falling tide can cause your boat to hit bottom, lose power, and leave you vulnerable to losing control. 3. Safety Precautions Never fish alone. Avoid fishing from the bow to prevent falling overboard during stray breakers. Always have someone at the wheel while others fish from the deck.
