Trolling
In this type of fishing, one or more lines are baited with lures or bait fish and drawn through the water. Methods: from behind a moving boat or by slowly winding the line in while fishing from a static position.
Types of fish caught: Rockfish, Bluefish, and Spanish Mackerel
Bottom Fishing
A weight is tied to the end of the line and a hook is positioned about an inch above the weight. You can also use the weight to cast or throw the line a set distance.
Fish targeted: Ground fish such as Spot, White Perch, Croaker and Rockfish
Chumming
Ground-up fish (chum) is thrown into the water to lure a variety of fish by their sense of smell.
Species lured by this type of fishing: Rockfish and Bluefish.
Live-Lining
This is the most popular method of fishing during the Rockfish season. Live-lining is the process of using live-bait, such as spot, to target the Rockfish or other species of fish. We do this all on light-tackle meaning you get a good fight on the end of your line - no matter the size of fish.
