So, make sure you do your homework before you go out and try fishing for saltwater fish. That way you can make sure you are successful right from the beginning of your fishing journey.  Good luck on your next fishing adventure, Tim Stokes.

Most people think of fishing in three different categories. There is commercial fishing which is done for profit. There is recreational fishing which is done for fun. Another form of recreational fishing that is done both for fun and competitiveness is known as sport fishing.

The methods of sport fishing will vary depending on where the fishing is being done at. It also will include the type of fish that the angler is looking to get. Sport fishing is usually done with a hook, line, and rod and reel as opposed to nets or other fishing resources.

The most targeted fish in sport fishing include tuna, marlon, sailfish, mackerel, shark, and tarpon. Sport fishermen almost always keep their catch for a couple of various reasons.

Trophy fishing is a common reason people choose sports fishing. They will bring the fish to shore and kill them so they can be weighed or turned in the trophy fish. Depending on where the fishing is done they might also be eaten by the people who catch them.

There are many areas where guides are available to take ordinary people out on a sport fishing expedition. This is common for people on vacation in exotic locations such as Cancun Mexico. You can have a great day out in the ocean and possibly catch a trophy fish to remember it by.

As you get hooked on the sport many people choose to do take sport fishing to another level. They will target some of the best locations all around the world and plan vacations around these trips!

Summary: Most people think of fishing in three different categories. There is commercial fishing which is done for profit. There is recreational fishing which is done for fun. Another form of recreational fishing that is done both for fun and competitiveness is known as sport fishing.
