Fishing Techniques

• 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 Common roach

  When fishing for roach, use light tackle and fine lines for better bite detection.

• For Brown trout

  When fishing streams, focus on seams and current breaks, where trout hold to ambush prey.
