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 Yellowtail Grunter
Grunter often feed near structure; cast close to snags, rock bars, or mangrove roots to increase your chances of a hookup, use a slow retrieve with occasional pauses.
- For Yellow-eye mullet
Use berley (ground bait) to attract Yellow-eye mullet to your fishing spot, improving your chances of a successful catch.
