40-60lb leader...circle hooks...live bait (pilchards and/or goggle eyes)

Pull up in front of the school...shut the engines off and free line the live bait...hold on....your only nemesis will be sharks.

For artificials...try a small trolling feather WWB in your spread

good luck

pull up in front of them and throw out handfuls of pilchards and drop over a chum bag and shake it like crazy. Live line a pilchard on a circle hook and hold on. When you hook up with the first one drop over a jiggin rod and jig while the first one is on and you will hook up again.

We have tried various methods and live bait is tough in our neck of the woods. We have found 2 methods that work best for us. A daisy chain cedar plug with 2 blue and whites followed by a natural works great. The other method that has been working great the past 2 years is a 2 lb trolling weight with 20 ft shock leader followed with 130 mono with an islander and ballyhoo. This rig eliminates all the small yellowfin and blackfin and usually wind up with a fish over 40. Dont be afraid to hide some wire in the crimp in case you get a hoo bite. Hope this helps.
