Fishing Techniques

• For Japanese meagre

  Target Japanese meagre during low light conditions or at night, and work lures slowly and methodically near structure.

• For Striped whiptail

  Use light tackle and a sensitive rod to detect subtle bites, as Striped Whiptails are cautious feeders; try fishing near reef edges or drop-offs where they often congregate.

• For Western striped cardinalfish

  Use light tackle and small hooks for these smaller fish, and fish near reef structure where they congregate.
