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.
