WMO SPREADS

[rarhomes]

I have lived in So Florida all my live. I have never seen a White and only a hand full of Blue marlin, just curious if I was fishing the WMO What might be in my spread ? and why?

Usually crews run two mullet dredges with naked and skirted ballys in the spread.

Defintaely run dredges on both sides and teasers on both sides with pitchbaits ready to go. And running all naked baits.. with maybe a cutdown chugger thrown in the mix.. That's my 2 cents and I don't know chit..

I like to run daisy chain teasers on each side. I run pink on one side and green on the other. Each chain ends with a blue/white Ilander with a horse ballyhoo. No hook, of course.

I either run a Stripteaser dredge or Abaco Holofish dredge, or both.

The six hooked baits in my spread consists of small naked ballyhoo, with an occasional ballyhoo skirt mixed in.

If I run a shotgun down the middle for a Blue Marlin, I use a large artificial with a double stiff rig. Moldcraft Sr. Wide Range black/green or Abaco Killa Slant. Both are productive for me in the MD canyons.

6 naked hoos ... Dinks mediums and horse. A mullet dredge port and a ballyhoo bar port. I keep a Spanish rigged on an 80 and a ballyhoo rigged on a 30. Sometimes ill put out a moldcraft or ilander chain as a teaser

Ok, so it's pretty much gonna be what I would call a sailfish spread. 2 dredges, 4 naked dinks and for sure in this tournment a naked horse or spanny mack on the longs and shotgun for a blue one.

What I don't understand is where the teasers are running (inside or outside) in referance to the dredges.

And how successfull are the pitch baits? I know pitches are used a lot in places like St. Thomas and Costa Rica but I also know when a sail comes into the dredge around here, he is only there for a second or two, in most case not long enough to get a pitch bait to him.

Does Whitey usually hang out in the spread long enough for a pitch bait?

I tun my teasers off the outriggers, and my dredges off an electric down rigger. I always have a big pitch bait and a small pitch bait. Depending on which categorys you are entered into would dictate how many big baits and how many dinks. I would fish the same way you would if you were fishing a sailfish tournament out of Ft. Pierce.

The slob blue marlin that was taken day two I believe was taken on a pitch bait. It was a 130, with a spanish mack I believe.

What's impressive is the Wahoos that have been weighted in.
I would suspect mostly caught on dink baits.

I guess some could have been caught on 300# or 400# Mono.
