Casting
|
| Fishing
techniques on the sea surface using artificial lures
such as poppers or pencils. Bait is thrown to the
water at a certain distance then pulled back. The
bait will simulates fish baits movements, while producing
water splash on the water surface. The boat will take
drifting position. Targets for this kind of fishing
are mostly pelagic fishes such as, giant trevally,
rainbow runner, mahi-mahi, tuna etc. Tackle type is
spinning.

Jigging |
| Fishing
techniques for specific depth using artificial lures
(metal jig). Bait is lowered down at certain depth
then pulled up; the bait will then simulates live
bait movements as it goes to surface. Boat position
is drifting. The jig weighted about 100 to 500 grams.
Fishes targeted are demersal (bottom) fishes such
as groupers, snappers, amberjacks, giant trevally
or mid-water fishes including tunas, rainbow runner,
etc. In jigging we use spinning type tackle or star
drag.

Trolling |
Fishing
technique at water surface using artificial lure or
bait. Artificial lures could be kona head, soft head,
minnow, feather, etc. We use live baits, arranged
in the tackle using specific manner of attaching it.
The boat, where the trolling term at certain speed,
pulls bait. Fishes targeted for trolling are giant
trevally, rainbow runner, mahi-mahi, tuna, skip jack,
wahoo, Spanish mackerel, etc. In this case we use
the heavy tackle type.
