Best Fishing Safety Tips You Need to Know

It is an undeniable fact that there is so much joy and fun experienced while fishing. Whether you are on a boat in the deep sea or enjoying the day out with friends or family – the fun does not stop. What’s even better is that you do not need to be a professional to enjoy fishing; a novice shares the same fun too! Don’t believe it? Take it from us – We at Casa Ibrahim have been promoting fishing equipment since 1998. In all of our experiences, we often witness the beaming smiles of amateur fishing enthusiasts who visit us to grab some of the best fishing accessories in Goa.

Although fishing is a recreational activity that has a low risk of injury, as responsible fishing equipment suppliers in Goa, we present to you fishing safety tips for safe fishing practices.

1.Carry a First Aid Box:

The safest thing you can do is to be prepared for injuries. You never know the risks you may face while unhooking your big catch, or the slippery surfaces that may make you trip and get bruised, or even get bitten by insects. Hooking one of your fishing buddies may sound funny now but surely not when out there, so be mindful of this common injury. Things we insist you have in your kit – gauze pads, surgical tapes, antiseptic wound cleansers, insect repellent, antibiotic cream, and band-aids.

2.Boot Up:

Wearing the right footwear that is appropriate for slippery, moist and wet conditions plays a vital role in ensuring a safe foot grip. Take our advice seriously and you’ll prevent yourself from slipping or bruising your foot on obstacles while also keeping those feet warm and cozy.

3.Tackle Box:  

Get your hands on our premium tackle box consisting of 16 compartments that are designed to store your swivels, snaps, fish hooks, split rings, split shot sinkers & beads. We suggest the Meiho Versus VS-388DD as it is one of the safest and highly durable tackle boxes in Goa. Neatly placing your sharp angling devices in it can prevent accidents for fellow fishers.

4.Right Spots and Timings for Fishing:  

Ensure that you aren’t fishing in areas that are prohibited. Get familiar with the timings of tides and ensure you check on weather updates regularly. The last thing we’d want to happen to our clientele is for you to get caught in a tumultuous storm. Make sure to carry flashlights, water, maps, and see that your cell phones are charged if incase faced with unprecedented weather conditions.  

5.Right Fishing Equipment:  

Tangled & brittle fishing lines, flimsy lures, worn-out poles, spoiled fishing rods, and other such faulty gear is dangerous and needs to be immediately replaced with new and safe ones.
