Fishing Techniques
- For Starry smooth-hound
Use a running ledger rig with a long trace to allow the smooth-hound to move freely with the bait; heavy sinker helps keep bait on the bottom.
- For Atlantic mackerel
When mackerel are feeding deep, try using a weighted lure or rig to get your bait down to them quickly. Also, chumming with fish scraps can attract schools.
- For Ballan wrasse
Ballan wrasse often inhabit rocky areas, so use a slightly heavier weight to get your bait down quickly and avoid snags.
