In this video you’ll see: • How to identify GOOD vs BAD patch reefs • Why shaded relief and 1 ft contour lines matter • The biggest mistake anglers make when freelining live bait • How to position your boat for wind-driven current • Why patch fishing is perfect for families, kids, kayaks, and skiffs • How to log catches and pattern bites using real data We ended up with mutton snapper, yellowtail, and nonstop action just a couple miles offshore.
