- Techniques
- Captain Anthony thrives on mastering a variety of fishing styles and techniques, tailoring each outing to the conditions and target species. He uses **trolling** to cover large areas and attract fast-moving fish like Mahi Mahi and Kingfish with lures or bait. For bottom-dwelling species like Grouper and Snapper, he employs **bottom fishing**, dropping baited hooks to the seabed. **Deep dropping** allows him to reach depths for species like Tilefish, using heavy weights and specialized rigs. **Live baiting** is his go-to for larger predators, using live fish to attract Tarpon and Marlin. With **kite fishing**, he suspends bait on the surface to mimic injured prey, enticing Sailfish and Mahi Mahi. **Spearfishing** sees him diving to hunt fish underwater, perfect for Cubera Snapper. Additionally, he uses **jigging**, **drift fishing**, and **fly fishing** to adapt to various environments, ensuring a successful and thrilling fishing experience for all his clients.
