Brad Liebe draws on years of financial consulting and estate planning experience in his work as a licensed financial advisor and motivational speaker. Outside of his professional responsibilities, Brad Liebe enjoys deep-sea fishing, which occurs far from land in waters that are at least 30 meters deep.
Anglers who go off-shore fishing, also called sport or big-game fishing, employ a range of tools to increase the odds of a catch. For example, spreader bars and teasers attract fish by allowing multiple pieces of bait to be hooked to imitate the appearance of a small school of fish and lure hungry game fish.
Other tools include downriggers, which allow anglers to set the depth of their bait, and kites, which fly in the air and keep bait at the surface. Outriggers allow multiple lines to be cast without becoming tangled.
In addition to these tools, anglers also engage in chunking. Although similar to chumming, chunking involves throwing pieces of bait overboard and placing a line with a hook in the middle of the bait.
Moreover, either trolling or drifting can be used. Trolling happens when a fishing boat motors through the water and drags bait behind the boat, while drifting involves letting the current control the boat.
