SALTWATER FISHING AND FRESHWATER FISHING
Created on 06.08
Differences Between Saltwater Fishing And Freshwater Fishing
1、 Differences in Environment and Fish Species
Salinity and water pressure:
The salinity of seawater is about 35 %, while the salinity of freshwater is less than 0.5 %. Marine fish need to maintain osmotic balance by swallowing seawater and excreting salt; Freshwater fish need to excrete excess water.
The changes in ocean depth, tides, and currents are complex (such as fish being more active during high tide), and pressure increases dramatically with depth; The freshwater environment has stable water flow and minimal pressure changes.
Target fish species:
Marine fish: sea bass, grouper, hairtail, tuna, etc., generally larger in size and fierce in temperament, require live bait (such as small fish, sea shrimp).
Freshwater fish: crucian carp, carp, grass carp, etc., mostly rely on visual foraging and are sensitive to changes in water temperature.
2、 Equipment differences
Category | Sea Fishing | Freshwater Fishing |
Fishing Rod | Specialized sea rods (such as rock fishing rods, sea raft rods, etc.), longer and stronger | Hand pole or lightweight sea pole |
Fishing Line | Diameter ≥ 0.5mm, mother and child wire structure, corrosion-resistant | Thinner, ordinary nylon thread |
Winding Wheel | Essential metal wheels (resistant to seawater erosion) | Non essential, spinning wheels can be used |
3、 Tips and safety points
Sea fishing
Timing: The best time is during the high tide period (when fish are actively foraging), and it is even better when there are three or four levels of wind and headwinds
Risk: Beware of storms, reefs, and toxic fish species
Fishing methods: Ship fishing, rock fishing, etc. require mastery of tidal laws; Luya fishing prefers metal bait or soft bait
Freshwater fishing
Timing: Fish are active in the morning and evening, pay attention to changes in water temperature (especially in deep water areas in summer)
Tip: Accurately feed to obstacles (such as water plants and crevices) and adjust the fishing group according to the water flow
