Fishing Techniques

  • For Red drum

    When fishing structure, cast upcurrent and let your bait naturally drift down.

  • For Common snook

    When fishing around docks, skip your lure as far under as possible to reach snook hiding in the shade, as they are ambush predators.

  • For Spotted seatrout

    Look for areas with current and structure, such as points, oyster bars, and grass edges, as spotted seatrout often ambush prey in these locations.
