Float spearfishing is one of the most popular ways to fish for various species of marine life. It is a relatively easy method of fishing and requires minimal equipment.
Float spearfishing involves attaching a buoy to the end of a fishing line and then lowering it into the water with bait attached. The buoy is then left to drift in the current, attracting various types of fish. Once a fish has been attracted to the bait, it can be speared from the buoy using a spear gun.
In order to rig float spearfishing correctly, you must first gather all necessary materials. This includes a float, fishing line, hooks, weights, sinkers, swivels and clips, as well as your desired type of bait. Once all these materials have been gathered you can begin rigging your float.
Begin by tying your main line (usually mono-filament) to the float. Attach weights or sinkers around three feet below the float so that it will stay suspended in the water column during periods of low tide or strong currents.
Next attach a leader line (usually braided) to the main line at this location. The leader should be about two feet long and should include several swivels and clips for attaching lures or bait.
Once you have attached your leader line you can now begin adding your desired bait or lures. Depending on what type of fish you are Targeting will determine what type of bait or lure you use. For example if you are trying to catch snapper then live shrimp would be an ideal choice for bait.
Conclusion:
Rigging a float for spearfishing is relatively simple and requires minimal equipment. By following these steps you can easily rig up your own float and begin catching fish in no time! Float spearfishing can be an exciting way to catch multiple species of marine life without having to leave shore!
