Captain Corey employs a variety of fishing techniques to tailor each trip to his clients’ preferences and target species. He uses light tackle for a more interactive fishing experience and heavy tackle to pursue larger species. For broader coverage, he utilizes trolling, while spinning and jigging offer a more precise and targeted approach for deeper fishing. Popping is often used to attract aggressive species, and drift fishing provides a natural and relaxed presentation of the bait. Captain Corey adapts his methods to the conditions of the lake and the species being targeted, making every trip unique and fun.
