Depending on the trip, the captain will show you the most efficient techniques, from spinning, trolling, popping and drifting to fly fishing.

You'll be provided with all the tackle, lures, and bait. Live bait is usually prepared in advance (Shrimps and Croakers) or you can catch it on your own during the trip.
