Fishing Techniques

• For Bluefish

  Bluefish are aggressive; use wire leaders to prevent bite-offs and retrieve lures at a fast pace to trigger strikes.

• For European seabass

  Fish around structure like rocks, piers, and weed beds where seabass hunt, varying retrieve speed and depth until you find what works.

• For Nile tilapia

  Tilapia often feed near the surface, so try presenting your bait or lure in the upper water column and use light tackle.
