I am taking a group to LA to try and catch a tuna. Can anyone give me a heads up on what size reel, line, hooks, methods to try for tuna? I have never caught one and don't have a clue how to go about it.
I cant remember where the post is, but if I am qouting this correctlyTuna Man (1/8/2008)No Radar??? All I have to say is....:banghead:banghead:banghead. With NO RADAR I think that departing Port Fourchon MIGHT be best. Never know about the fog, I have seen it not lift as late as 2pm in Venice. Now that might not be the norm but me without radar kept me away from the Lump for the whole week we were down there.
Very True! Plenty-o pitfalls. I 2nd the suggestion to go with someone the 1st few trips. The passes take some time to learn. Weusually run Tiger. Radar is a MUST!Xanadu (1/7/2008)The winter La tuna fishery is no place to start from scratch.
Michael, the quote was..."A bottle of Captain Morgan will get you a first hand tour of the one and only pass to run in the winter. Once you learn it you will be set. It is easy to run once you have done it a few times."mpmorr (1/8/2008)I cant remember where the post is, but if I am qouting this correctlyTuna Man (1/8/2008)No Radar???

"for a bottle of Capt Morgan you can follow me out" Capt Mike Ellis. Get with one of the Charter Captains, they would probably be very helpful with the right motivation.:letsdrink
