Creators Aaron Benzrihem, Ryan Izquierdo, and Tyler Wald joined forces for two days in Port St. Lucie, Florida, with one objective: putting the Lewmar Axis shallow water anchors to the test on a skinny water stealth mission in search of trophy snook in heavy structure. Aaron is a veteran of this “combat” style of fishing, where heavy tackle and a locked drag are imperative to pull these aggressive fish out of structure.
Ryan and Tyler quickly learned just how powerful these structure dwellers are, as they frayed off leader after leader within seconds. However, it wasn’t long before the team dialed in the technique. Two days of ups and downs on the hunt for linesiders ended in success as many fish were caught and released. The shallow water anchors allowed the skiff to quickly (and quietly) position the boat for the team to pitch live baits off the bow. Mission accomplished.
