Popper fishing is ideal for arousing the curiosity of fish. This method uses surface lures designed to attract fish through distinctive actions and sounds.
The popper features a curved mouth that 'taps' the water surface with each rod movement, producing an audible 'pop' sound that provokes predatory fish. The lure mimics a small fish fleeing, creating an irritating effect that triggers attacks.
Animation speed is decisive. In the warm waters of Mauritius, the technique requires successive rapid and energetic movements of the popper across the surface to catch larger specimens.
It's an extremely effective fishing technique that we regularly practice in Grand Baie.
