Jigging for Tuna and Trolling for sharks

[Turn_the_clicker_off]

Alright Capt.s,

Like many of you I have decided to give in and try new methods of catching my favorite game fish. I guess I'm ready to open the wallet and set myself up to vertically fish BFT and YFT. I have eaten my fair share of sashimi and I'd like to enjoy it again after my first jigging trip.

I have been through the hundreds of jigs in the store on here and would love some direction.

Also, I plan on trolling for various species of sharks this season. My days of chunking mediocre Threshers in schools of bunker are over. I guess I'll burn the fuel I save tuna fishing!

My area is from MHC north to Barneget, NJ
Advise on jig color, weight, hook size, jigging rod/reel combos and line weight would be greatly appreciated.

As far as shark trolling goes . . . . . . am I a fool for giving up a tried and true method?

Tight Lines!
