Folklure Charters can provide an exciting and unique fishing experience, thanks to the various techniques used by Captain Frank. Trolling is his go-to option for catching fish, as it gives an adrenaline rush when a large fish is hooked. Bottom fishing and jigging are the way to go for those looking to get down deep into the ocean. These methods involve bouncing jigs off of reefs or wrecks in order to lure unsuspecting fish. It’s a vigorous technique involving patience and skill, but it pays off with some of the most exciting catches of the day.
