Dr. Charles Frederick Holder was the human agent who led to the invention of big game fishing, but another very important contributor to the sport’s development was the invention of the motorised boat. As big game fishing is a form of recreational or sport fishing that targets large fish renowned for their sporting qualities, the need for a boat of sufficient seaworthiness and range to transport the crew to the fishing grounds and back is essential and thus the motorised boat was a boon to the fledgling sport.
Fish Varieties and Luring Techniques
The fish normally targeted by people going for big game fishing include the following varieties:
• Billfish – broadbill swordfish, marlin and sailfish
• Large tunas – bluefin, yellowfin and bigeye
• Sharks – mako, great white, tiger, hammerhead and other large species
Two techniques are used to lure fish during big game fishing. They are:
1. Trolling – In this method, fish are enticed by trolling fishing lures behind the boat. These lures often resemble squids or other bait fish.
2. Chumming – Chumming or berley is a technique in which pieces of bait fish are thrown overboard in order to attract bigger fish.

Deep sea fishing
By: Tim Barrels | 11/11/2009 | HobbiesDeep sea fishing refers to the fishing technique in which you… well; actually go deep underwater to catch fish. The name tells the whole story. As can be imagined, a technique like this would (and does) require a lot more equipment than other forms of fishing. So get ready to get more line, rods, lures, reels, baits and large fishing tackles. The boats you would require for angling will also need to be specially designed ones.
Big game fishing
By: Tim Barrels | 18/09/2009 | HobbiesWhen marine biologist and early conservationist Dr. Charles Frederick Holder invented a new sport, in fact a new form of fishing, in 1898, I am pretty sure he had no idea he was going to change the way recreational fishing was seen forever. The new form of fishing was big game fishing and Dr. Holder went on to publish many articles and books on the subject, noted for their combination of accurate scientific detail with exciting narratives.
Barramundi Fishing
By: Tim Barrels | 18/08/2009 | HobbiesTell me if you understand the following statement: “any of several large edible Australian fishes, esp. the percoid species Lates calcarifer (family Centropomidae) of NE coastal waters or the freshwater species Scleropages leichardti (family Osteoglossidae) of Queensland.” Could you make head or tail of that?

Fishing – The Perfect Pastime
By: Tim Barrels | 23/06/2009 | HobbiesFor me the word “fishing” always conjured up an illustration from a book I read when I was a kid. The image showed a young boy – not much more than 11 – lying on the bank of a river, under a tree. He was dressed in suspenders and had a straw hat on his head. He had a reel in his hand and the line was cast while the boy serenely waited for a fish to bite. The tranquillity on the boy’s face had a calming influence on me even then: the book was Mark Twain’s “Huckleberry Finn”.
