Psssh....thats easy:

1) Any lure costing over $20 dollars (Illander,nice Jet, etc), rigged on 120# mono

2) Any nicely rigged ballyhoo with a black/purple, red/white, yellow/green sea witch or head lure once again rigged on 120# mono

3) Brandy new expensive shell squid or conehead lure spreader bar (the more expensive the better)

At least thats how it is in NJ.

[quote=Wound Up James;344444]8-9 knots a mix of ballyhoo behind seawitchs and islanders and artifical lures.
Most of our artificals are witches, islanders, jet heads and Big T straight runners w/ 7"-8" rubber skirts. We use 9/0 - 10/0 hooks - Mustad 7691S for the plastics and 7690DT for the baits. 2 30-w's w/ 60lb top shots attached via rubber bands to the down riggers (12lb lead balls) and 50's w/ 80lb topshots for the 2 riggers and bridge rod. 6 - 8oz trolling weights on the rigger rods and at least 20 lbs of drag on everything....it's all about Penatration !!!

James,

How far in front of your bait do you run the 6-8 oz trolling sinker?

We also do a lot of live bait fishing w/ ocean robins - a member of the scad family (a speedo in the Key's).and frigate mackeral (bullet tuna).we idle at 2-4 knots, use 6/0-7/0 hooks, #8- #10 wire and Tiagra 16's...The opposite of trolling, this fishery is Light drag...A lot of bites....plenty of misses..great visuals and some real quality fish...

Chumming (chunking) for tunas is also a big fishery here in Bermuda. It's not uncommon to see dozens of 'hoo's in the slick in a days fishing.. We scale down even lighter w/ our tackle here. I prefer spinning rods and use 40 - 60 wire. Fresh bloody bait works the best. the gills and guts of a mackeral (little tunny/bonita) , a fresh chunk of the same or a live bait...95% of your wahoo bites in the chum will be in sight....and nothing like having a few of them in the slick at the same time...competition always increases the chance of a bite....

I see no gaff holes? You slide them in the tuna door?
