b'In conjunction with being active Feature Bite times can be key to focus yourwith the berley, I would say I up my energy and effort and make the mostbite rate when I jiggle the berley and of when the fish do feel hungry.then cast my bait into the stream of fresh goodies. Another tactic here absolutely worth a go is to cut up a few smaller pieces of bait (like four pieces) and then toss it out the back and then five minutes later do the same thing again but cast your bait into the middle of the spread. If you havent been getting many bites, this is a successful way to see if there are fish around, but they are either hook or line shy. A baited hook in amongst a handful of cut baits is often too much for a tentative trevally or shy snapper to pass up.BITE TIMESFocusing on the bite times is my next tip - lining up sunrise missions means getting there in the dark and having the bait and berley already in the briny so when bite time arrives you are ready for the guests. Throw extra pieces of pilchard or fish around the boat as well as down the trail. Spread the good news far and wide.Sometimes its best to stick to the areas of coast that dont have a lot of fresh water flowing into the sea like river mouths.32FISHING IN GODZONE MAGAZINE'
