Unintentional fish doubles?
The excitement is so great on high-intensity hunts that we all want to cast our lure in the middle of it.
When you're 3 fishermen, you're just as likely to hook a bluefin tuna.
Reason would tell us to cast only one lure at a time and to reel in the lines as quickly as possible, taking the lure out of the water as soon as a fish is hooked.
Passion occasionally drives us to try and hook a second fish by continuing to fish, or even by casting again when the first has already been hooked.
Avoid crossing lines
The main risk when fighting two fish simultaneously is that the lines cross.
If this is the case, friction between the two is sure to result in the breakage of at least one of the 2.
To avoid this as much as possible, fight in two different places. One at the front of the boat, the second at the stern.
Do not let 2 fish rise at the same time
One solution is to fight more insistently against one of the two poisons, so as not to end up with both at the same time along the length of the boat.
If one of them decides to take the line, I let him. This will have the effect of taking him away from the boat
As far as possible, I try to avoid the situation where the two fish are together in the vertical position of the boat. When one fish is managed, it's easier to finish the fight with the second.
Difficult boat management
Fighting two fish simultaneously complicates matters. During the fight, the skipper's role is to steer the boat in such a way as to put the angler in the best possible conditions.
With two fish to manage, this is often compromised. Fish rarely agree to position themselves on the same side. Here, you'll have to fight the battle without the help of the motor.
You'll have to be even more careful with the rod angles, if the fish decides to go under the boat. You'll need to be reactive, as the skipper won't be able to help you.
As you can see, fighting two fish simultaneously is far from impossible, and requires a certain amount of skill.
