If you’re fishing for the first time and are at a basic level, then we recommend that you use a rod which is designed for trolling. If you don’t have enough space on board, then use a rod which is designed for kayaks, as they are very compact. When choosing between the option of lures and live bait, we recommend using lures as they are much easier to store. They’re also ideal for trolling, as they resist the flow of fast water. You’re likely to attract fish like Bass and Mackerel when using lures. Mackerels tend to bite anything, so we’re sure as long as you’re in the right location, you will catch a lot of mackerel!
