Fishing Techniques

• 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 Crevalle jack

  Crevalle jacks are often found schooling, so if you catch one, keep fishing the same area. Vary your retrieve speed to find what triggers strikes.

• For Mangrove snapper

  Use a fluorocarbon leader to minimize visibility in clear water, and fish around structure like docks and mangroves, where mangrove snapper ambush their prey.
