Techniques
Our favourite style of fishing is without doubt Trolling. There is nothing to compare with the sudden ripping of line from your reel as a good fish takes your lure. Watching a Marlin approach the spread and lighting up is something to be experienced and is very, very special. For stubbornness and dogged scrapping, you would have to go a long way to beat a sizeable Tuna as he immediately descents into the depths upon striking.
