    Exclamation New idea: balloon tagging poons tomorrow...

    What you guys think? 40' of 20 pound, a 28" balloon, a non stainless circle, and balloon tag the first 3 of the day and watch where they go...Two balloons in ten foot proximity, oh shit 2 frigates above them...Hmmm...looks like a frenzy in the making!

    Use a small bobber. That's an old spadefish trick for open water. I like the way your thinking.

    Thanks man,
    I want to be able to see them with bino's from 500+ yards away. I will release them at the end of the trip. I am fishing 3 or four seperate scools a day right now that are constantly moving and popping up under frigate birds. I am trying to anticipate where it will happen next.

    Did the same thing with schooling reds. We used a quart sized clorox bottle. Worked great.

    I am a big trout fisherman back home as well and have never considered that technique. Interesting.

    Useing the fish to show me the way... The 4 pound test will break off in less than a day when they rub together in the school at night. Find the balloon the next day and start over again... Most of the water I fish is 6 to 8'.
