Fishing Techniques

• For West Atlantic bonefish

  Use light tackle and fluorocarbon leaders for stealth, and avoid making loud noises to prevent spooking these wary fish.

• For Largemouth bass

  Vary your retrieve speed and lure presentation until you find what the bass are keying on, as their preferences can change daily based on weather and water conditions.

• For Blacktail snapper

  Use a wire leader when fishing around sharp rocks or coral to prevent bite-offs.
