edge,maybe

jlw1972 · 11-10-2009, 03:32 PM

it looks like we might have a good weekend coming up. i'm thinking i might go to the edge for blackfin. i've never fished for these before. anybody have any ideals or suggestions on how to. maybe do a little trolling around the nipple to. thanks for any help in advance.
also is barracuda any good for chunking?

The last few times we were out we caught them on fly lines. No weight, live pinfish and dead cigs. We didn't troll, caught them on anchor.We had to weed thru the bonitos, but they were there. Have an extra rod ready when you bring either one in, cause we had them follow almost every time. Good Luck!

thanks for the advice Lastcast.it would be more fun catching them on anchor.

Troll around prob pick up a few plus dolphin or wahoo..Chum everything in the boat when anchored theyll show up..Cuda is good chunkin..When anchored just keep a couple of rods rigged with 40lb mono or flouro..No weight and a decent circle hook..

thanks Dylan, i think the tenneco should be good for a cuda or 2.

Dylan · 11-11-2009, 08:07 PM

LOL..I hear ya..Maybe 1 or 2..Last time we went to the edge we were catching them on flatlines on 12lb..It was kinda fun watching huge cudas come out of the water..

the last ew times we've gone out we have consistently got them on a cedar plug dropped WAAAAY back. also catching as many bobo and cuda as you can and anchor on the edge and just start chunking and theyll come to you

jlw1972 · 11-11-2009, 09:05 PM

how far back is waaaaay back ? i'm thinking 150 yds. or so. is this close?

specslayer · 11-11-2009, 09:16 PM

yea id estimate 100-125 yrds back....what i do is drop it back until i think its goos then drop it back for another couple seconds
