Fishing Techniques

• 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 Blue tilapia

  Blue Tilapia often feed near vegetation, so focus your efforts along weed edges or submerged cover.

• For African pompano

  Look for African pompano around structures like reefs, wrecks, and buoys, and vary your retrieve speed until you find what triggers a strike.
