We’ll be fishing 2 set of rigged lines with 2 buoys with flags, 150lb spool of 300M lines (it is usual fto fish 2x300m) each and on 12 miles fished 600m of lines. Each line set with 5 hooks baited with either LIVE mackerel, anchoivy, small mullets or goatfish.
Lines set about 100m apart, while these lines are fishing, slow trolling around those buoys for bonitos, dorados and skipjacks (chance of a wahoo and billfish). I’ll be bringing my jigging outfit rated to 10kg, working 250g-300g jigs at around 100m+.
As I leave the lagoon, I will set 2 lines with either a kona or fly or squid rigged with owner/maruto 5/0 hooks.
18ft boat with 2x 15HP engine with a sail (emergency) and a gaff! Fishing on the 8miles bank and 12miles bank. 2 traditional fishermen, which does this when weather permitted to fight for a living! I’ll have the luxury of having 2 rods and 3 reels. On a normal day, they will fish 4 buoys, tunas to 150lb+ and other fish like Jobfish, sharks ect… They are selling the tunas for 0.75p an lb!!! Billfish for about the same price!
NO deckie, NO 130lb rods, NO penn Internationals, NO beers!
I’m not on Holidays! 😉
