Fishing Techniques

• For Blue runner

  When targeting blue runners, use a fast retrieve to trigger strikes and use wire leaders to avoid bite-offs.

• For Mangrove snapper

  Use a fluorocarbon leader to minimize visibility in clear water, and fish around structure like docks and mangroves, where mangrove snapper ambush their prey.

• For Common dolphinfish

  When you hook one dolphinfish, leave it in the water near the boat as this will often keep the school around for you to catch more.
