Trolling
Trolling is a method of fishing by which either artificial lures or combinations of lures and baits are trolled behind the boat at speeds varying from dead slow to 8 knots, to attract and tease fish into attacking the lure. We also tow live baits which is one of the primary methods of baiting Billfish and other pelagic predators.

Bottom fishing
This is fishing the bottom of a body of water or in very deep water. A common rig for fishing on the bottom is a weight tied to the end of the line, and a hook or set of hooks tied above the weight – from an inch up line to a couple of feet from it.
Normally very productive on drop offs and sea mounts for all the snapper and grouper species plus of course Sharks, Amberjacks, and other mid water species, of which many are highly migratory and only appear at certain times of the year.

Perking
Similar to bottom fishing except higher speed retrieves are required and fancy colored perking weights are used with a combination of hooks, sometimes sweetened with bait.

Casting
Casting is the act of throwing the lure into the water with specially designed casting rods and reels. The Lure is cast to the target species and retrieved at high speed in order to provoke an attack. it is a technique commonly used when light tackle fishing, or bait and switch for sail fish etc.

Salt Water Fly Fishing
We achieve this by pulling array of hookless teasers behind the boat, in order to tease the fish into range of the angler immediately the fish is in casting range we remove the teasers and present the fly to the fish.
Nine times out of ten the fish will attack the fly, often coming right out of the water to inhale the fly.
Apart from the fact you may or may not get a hook up, this the most visual fishing you will ever get and probably the most demanding of disciplines and proportionally the most exciting and fulfilling.

Night Fishing
In our waters the only way to successfully target Broadbill Sword fish usually at night. We slow troll either plastic lures or dead squid or a combination of both behind a chemical light stick both deep and on the surface from early evening to early morning, strikes may come at any time.
We choose to fish a dark night with no moon or as little moon as possible as this enhances the intensity artificial light stick.
By product at night is often Sharks especially if using dead baits on the drifts.
