Ballywhoo or cigar minnows. Naked or colored. You will have to play around to see what color does best for that day or if naked works best.

TIM_G (9/28/2009)I agree, naked ballyhoo is a must. I troll a blue/white sea witch with ballyhoo.


Me too. I will start the day though with half b/crystal and the other half all pink sea 1/2oz witches. On a 8 line spread I will do this:



- Nakeds on the flats or short shorts, depending on how the boat is rigged.

- shorts - pink on port, b/w on star (sometimes 3/4oz heads)

- longs - b/w on port, pink on star

- shotgun - purple/chart, sometimes behind a yellow bird (wahoos)

- planer - red/blue/silver flash in the fall, or black/red in spring. (wahoos)



-teasers - B/W islander chain on starboard with bally chase, pink squid chain on port



If you are in them good they will eat everything, other days they will get picky. I will start another thread on my squid rig for dolphin. When the chickens are here, its deadly.



But the above is my day in day out deal with a few other odds and ends mixed in, like some custom lanterns I tie with squirt squids. The only thing I use Islander for is chasing giant bluefins and teasers. Don't think for a second that 400lb marlin won't eat a b/w witch.
