Big game fishing techniques The different techniques can be combined to maximize your chances of hooking the big one!

Techniques include trolling artificial and natural baits, and chumming from a stationary or drifting boat. Trolling is a method of big game fishing where one or more fishing lines, baited with lures or bait fish, are drawn slowly through the water, behind the boat. Trolling is the most popular and effective way to find and hook most types of big game fish and it is most effective with live bait. The type of bait will depend largely on which type of fish you are hoping to hook. If live bait is unavailable, we will use a lure designed to resemble live bait.

Drifting , Chumming, or chunking, is the process of throwing pieces of bait fish overboard to attract larger game fish. Chumming works best with highly predatory big game fish like sharks, but will produce results for most species of big game fish.
