Fishing Techniques

• For Longfin mullet

  Longfin mullet often feed in schools, so cast towards visible surface activity or areas where you've previously caught them; chumming with bread can also draw them in.

• For Painted sweetlips

  Painted sweetlips are often found around reefs and wrecks, so target these areas with baits presented near the bottom or mid-water column.

• For Spotted tilapia

  Spotted tilapia are often found near structure; focus your fishing efforts around submerged trees, rocks, and weed beds. Using polarized sunglasses will help you spot potential holding areas.
