Fishing Techniques

• For Island trevally

  Target areas with strong currents and structure, as Island trevally often hunt in these locations. Vary your retrieve speed to find what triggers strikes.

• For Shortnose boxfish

  Fish near rocky areas or coral reefs with light tackle and slow retrieves, as shortnose boxfish are often found grazing on algae and small invertebrates in these habitats.

• 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.
