Wahoo, Tuna, Dolphin How much longer

ashcreek · 10-15-2007, 03:35 PM

I have just gotten into bluewater fishing the last two years and I am curious how late into the winter everybody will fish around the Nipple, edge, 131 hole I know bottom dwellers are there year round but what about pelagics? THanks

We hooked up 2 mahi a week and a half ago in scattered grass 400 ft of water.. they are sporadic though.

I get the Bill Fish, Wahoo and Dolphin in the nipple and spur area (even Swords), but what about Tuna. Do people catch yellowfin or blackfin there? Trolling or chunking? I am gathering the yellowfin bite is more a rig trip and the blackfin is more reliable at the edge or the rigs. Am I wrong?

There's tunas at the spur they are just unpredictable

Tuna are definately more reliable at the rigs. Blackfin can hardly be called a tuna though, unless you're using light tackle. Plus, when you finally catch a decent yellowfin, you'll never intentionally mess with a little ol blackfin ever again.

So on the taste scale where does the blackfin rate?

We slayed the YFTs last Thanksgiving weekend at the rigs (me TCAT, CraigCat, and Keith's friend Jamie).
