Sport Fishing Information

Sportfishing is using light tackle for fish like spanish mackerel, cobia, kingfish, small tuna, bonito and other inshore species.  Most Sportfishing revolves around trolling lures and working rigged or live baits in inshore waters around inshore headlands, shallow reefs and islands from a boat, or land-based sportfishing from rock platforms and headlands.  Small to medium sized trolling reels and large threadline reels are usually used with line classes from 4 to 10 kg, being the most popular.
