Tiger fishing has a reputation for being technical. The truth: with the right guide and tackle, almost anyone can catch their first tigerfish on day one. Here's how to set yourself up to win.
Mindset
Tigerfish strikes are violent and fast. Most beginners miss their first few because the bite is faster than expected. Stay alert, keep tension on the line, and strike with conviction.
Technique
Cast, let the bait sink, then a slow steady retrieve. When the bite comes — and it will — strike hard and high. Keep the rod up. Let the drag do its job.
What To Bring
Hat, polarised sunglasses, sunscreen, water-resistant clothes, closed shoes. We provide tackle, bait, life jackets and refreshments.
Trip Recommendation
Start with a half-day or full-day guided trip. Skip multi-day expeditions until you've felt the fight at least once.
