Fishing Techniques

• For Marbled Rockfish

  Fish near rocky structures or reefs where Marbled Rockfish tend to ambush prey and vary your retrieve speed to find what triggers them.

• For Mozambique tilapia

  Tilapia are often skittish, so use light line and small hooks, and try chumming the water with bread crumbs or corn to attract them to your fishing spot.

• For Koi carp

  Use a hair rig for boilies or other firm baits to keep the hook exposed and improve hook-up ratios, especially for larger koi.
