Fishing Techniques

• For Palometa

  Palometa often school near shore and around structure, so focus your efforts in these areas using a fast retrieve when using lures.

• For Oceanic puffer

  Oceanic puffers are often caught as bycatch, so targeting areas where they are known to congregate while fishing for other species can increase your chances of catching them. Use heavier tackle due to their powerful jaws.
