Introduction to Fishing

Filed under: Salt Water Fishing,The Daily Flash Minnow — admin @ 7:35 pm September 12, 2011

This time we went on boat fishing from Newport Beach with our new employee Miku!! She has absolutely no fishing experience, but starting today I want her to learn the joy of fishing and bring up this Daily Flash Minnow blog site together. She will become our new “Lucky Fishing Girl” and will also begin writing articles about her experiences, so please stay tuned! Today I will be helping her out with the basics including knot tying and casting.

The boat took off to Huntington Beach offshore and we will be aiming for some Rockfish, Sanddab, and Scorpion. Since it was Miku’s first boat fishing experience, she was having a difficult time getting the lure to the bottom and couldn’t get any bites. I completely understand how she feels because just a year ago I was in the same shoes. If only she was able to get to the bottom, the fishes would most likely come for it, but it seemed pretty hard for her to understand the feeling of it hitting the bottom… While then, I got a bite!! I could feel it swimming around so I was guessing it might be a Mackerel. I wanted Miku to feel how the rod felt when a fish is caught so we traded rods and had her retrieve. It was my very first Mackerel! (Miku’s rod on the other hand had a starfish caught on it!)

When it became about time to go back, we hear a yell, “Ah~~~!! Fish!!” Miku caught a large size Scorpion!

Miku you did it!! It was her very first fish! (I’m starting to have this feeling she just might catch big ones… The Mackerel was 17in!)

Please continue to see how Miku develops her fishing skills!!
