Fishing Tips
If you are fishing from the long jetty and
there are few anglers fishing on the said
day, cast your bait as far as you can towards
the huts (platforms) if no anglers are fishing
there. About 80% of the distance between
the jetty and the platforms is good.
The fishes tend to be more active with more
people fishing. Perhaps the dropping of
baits into the water gets them excited.
Don’t be stingy with bait. When the action slows try ground baiting with balls of
dough bait. Make sure to get the “plomp”
sound.
Bring along lower poundage / smaller diameter leaders just in case the fishes are a
bit finicky on the day and are not in a mood
to eat.
