A listener asked if I would do this show on how to properly handle fish intended for release.  I was a little hesitant at the time because each fish that we fish for requires a slightly different technique.  I wasn’t sure if I could effectively communicate, through audio only, the proper way to handle fish.  I gave it a whirl anyway and hope it is helpful, if you want to know more please email me and I would be happy to provide any details that were missed in the podcast.

The 3 boats I fish from obviously have different anchoring requirements, different types of bottom, different lengths of line, different amounts of chain and even different types of anchors… The one thing that holds true with any of these is that when I put my anchor down I want it to hold, I don’t want it to slip. When I put my anchor down I also want to be able to get off of the anchor and go chase down a fish. Read about the anchor Recipe HERE.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

One of the ways that we like to catch Permit on the flats, in the channel and offshore is we like to see them first and then throw over there. Typically you will set up a rod similar to the one you would use on the flats - but offshore the water is deeper and sometimes you can lose the permit to the wreck... How to set up your tackle, read the equipment list HERE.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
