Fishing Techniques

  • For American shad

    Use a slow, steady retrieve with occasional twitches, especially when using spoons or spinners. Vary your retrieve until you find what the fish are hitting.

  • For Striped bass

    Match the hatch! Pay attention to what the stripers are feeding on and select lures or baits that mimic the size and color of the local forage.

  • For Atlantic salmon

    When fishing for Atlantic salmon, pay close attention to water depth and current, as they often hold in specific locations to conserve energy.
