In the Indian Ocean off Western Australia, Ross Newton, skippered by Reel Teaser Fishing Adventures, shares his unique approach to switch baiting sailfish in shallow water around reef edges. Their setup is simpler than many top tournament teams, using a daisy chain with birds, squids, and a belly bait. The baits used are garfish or ballyhoo rigged with circle hooks and compact skirts. The video provides a detailed presentation of the unique bait and switch fishing techniques used in western Australia.

Fishing for sailfish in plain view of waves crashing off the reef is a little out of sorts for those of us used to fishing Central America, the Caribbean, or the Atlantic. Shallow water edge trolling is unpredictable, but there are fishing techniques that you can run to selectively target sailfish with amazing success. This In The Spread sailfish fishing video, featuring Chris Rushford from Reel Teaser Fishing Adventures, will show you how to troll for sailfish hard up on the reef edge, how to rig ballyhoo or garfish baits and belly baits. We will also discuss the fishing grounds and why pelagic fish are there, daisy chain teasers, how to set up a spread, the switch baiting tactics these guys use, catching sailfish on stick baits, all the tackle, and heaps more.
