Drop a lure or fly into the bubble line at the head of a pool and let the current swing it past holding fish.

Fishing Techniques

• For European seabass

  Fish around structure like rocks, piers, and weed beds where seabass hunt, varying retrieve speed and depth until you find what works.

• For Rainbow trout

  Vary your retrieve speed when using spinners to find what triggers a strike; sometimes a slow, steady retrieve works best, while other times a faster, erratic retrieve is more effective.

• For Bluefish

  Bluefish are aggressive; use wire leaders to prevent bite-offs and retrieve lures at a fast pace to trigger strikes.
