Deep Sea Fishing
I get calls from folks who want to go “Deep Sea” fishing. When talking with them, it seems they think that all saltwater fishing is “Deep Sea” fishing. That is not true. Deep sea fishing just means to fish in the deeper waters of the salt water gulfs or oceans.
Different species of fish live in the deeper water. Deep sea fishing quite often requires long boat rides in very rough seas. Many times, these rides are one or more hours long. You may leave in the morning with smooth water, but the return ride home may be an unpleasant one.
If you are not prone to seasickness or motion sickness, the rewards often are worth the rought ride or rough water. Although now with the size limits on fish, closed seasons, and the other legal restrictions, your rough ride may not be so fruitful.
Different times of the year and different weather patterns usually dictate how much the winds will blow and how rough the seas may be. Spring and Fall bring fronts, and with fronts, come wind.
