AboutKit Belen Expertise I can help with tackle making questionsinshore/offshore fishing from trolling,drifting, bottom fishing,light to heavy stand up style fishing, SoCAl iron, japanese vertical jigging,surf/shore/rock fishing...done it all!!!
Been a Pro at one time and I used to produce my own lures for trolling and I tie my own jigs and flies as well. More importantly, I'm always glad to help.
Experience I was a professional guide and a tackle manufacturer, was taken under the wing of a retaired marlin skipper who showed me the ropes and later joined the tournament circuit in my country.
I have put those on hold to pursue a career in the corporate world, but I still fish regularly and make my own lures and flies...I get the chance to travel the world and fish all around. I have experience on making the most out of fishing situations like when you have to fish on boats that are not designed for sportfishing. I generally make things challenging just to see how things tick, along the way, you would be amazed at what you learn.
Education/Credentials I hold a Marketing Degree and am currently work for a hotel company in the eMarketing and Communications field, here in Dubai, UAE.
I had undergraduate studies in Business Administration, Psychology and Economics.
Question I've just started to fish the Jersey Shore, Upper Barnegat Bay and out the Manasquan Inlet, from a 19 foot boat. I'd like to know one or two rigs for clams, including weights, line, leader, and their set up.
Answer Hi Tom,
Please check out one of the earlier questions about rigs. I posted a URL that that could help you out.
The rigs are made for the type of presentation and situationj you face, not really the type of bait you are using.
So, if you specifically need two. look for diagrams of a sliding sinker rig, either with an eggt sinker or one with a pyramid sinker. these are also called fish finder rigs.
another rig that is worth mentioning is the fly line. its nothing but a hook at the end of your fishing line.
fished correctly, these rigs are the most versatile and are hard to beat.
