Fishing Techniques

• For Fat snook

  Fish near structure like docks, mangroves, and bridges, as fat snook are ambush predators that like to hide and dart out for prey.

• For Striped mojarra

  Mojarra are often found in schools, so if you catch one, stick around, there are likely more. Use a small hook and light line as they have relatively small mouths and can be easily spooked.

• For Horse-eye jack

  When fishing around structure, use heavier tackle to quickly pull hooked fish away from potential snags, preventing break-offs.
