Fishing Techniques

• For Saddled seabream

  Use a light line and small hooks, as saddled seabream can be line-shy. Chumming with bread or groundbait can attract fish to your area.

• 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 European chub

  When using lures, vary your retrieve speed and direction to trigger strikes. Chub often hold near cover like overhanging branches or submerged logs.
