Downrigger i fink..not really a reel as it clipped to the main rod/line then using a massive sinker you can sink your bait to certain depth, when the fish bites it releases itself from the main line and they become independent.

Think when you trolling and no matter if you going 4 knots the 'bait' almost always sits near the surface , but in some cases you may want to troll at a certain depth way below the surface as some fish like jibbing there thats when it comes handy.

Thxs. Judging fm ur catches it appears u really need top line equip 2 hold fish.

That & the empty bottle of JW.

Cool. Anybody ever use a planer 4 trolling?

[meccalli]

Yeah, tyrnos, jeremy wade uses those exclusively along with a tld. Reels make fishing fun and finesse but not at all necessary, top king fishermen catching smokers for years on 15lb mono on handlines and since you mention planers- That's how commercial fishermen rig for kingfish and wahoo in the gulf of mexico. Spring cord to a length of rope down to a planer, 20ft of mono to wire leader and big drone spoon. No reels, just skied in by hand and right into the icebox.

[ryan99tt]

Yup, it is ah tyranos in the pic though...need light line for kingfish, if u fishing live bait...ballyhoo is still like 30lb test...

[Keshav1738]

What you guys have to say about beefsticks? Have a 7ft paired up with a Daiwa opus plus 5000. Decided to make a medium heavy combo

[meccalli]

Beefsticks from daiwa are what big water rods from shakespeare are, just heavy glass beaters that can take lots of abuse.

[Keshav1738]

Orrrr, I have both
But I seeing some serious problems with the guides on the big water

[proton17]

Somebody post a lil catch nah, some of us not fishing these days....

[pugboy]

Friend brined a gut hooked sailfish and I smoked it yesterday.
Made a cream cheese dip
one of the better tasting substances on the planet

[ryan99tt]

Lol...now get dem pics from my padna dey too...

[meccalli]

I've tried smoked kingfish dip, only ever eaten sails grilled.

[dougla_boy]

[BlueIce]

went 2nd bocus monday ; during high current the yellow fin cavalli bite was hot. After tide change and was calm was reds / small grouper / grunt / salmon. Moved to just off Gasparee and was just in time for bonito.

[BlueIce]

[meccalli]

You guys caught that in front the docks?, heard some fellas were catching bonito alavive around there.

[dominick1669]

[Miktay]

[dominick1669]

[sleepertercel]

Where was this?

[ryan99tt]

Back of gasparee looks like...

[dominick1669]

yup correct, to the back of garparee island

[fishingmanfren]

what is a good lead set up? eg, swivel, hook, sinker etc.. I normally use the old swivel to hook n sicker or 3way swivel..but I am not sure which set up to use and what brand of hooks, swivel etc to use..i have rod an reel with spider wire 60lb test on it..but not so sure how to setup my lead..

I would like to know a good setup for:

1. up and down
2. other technique/methods used by other fishermen..for instance for tarpon/cavali etc..spoonbait etc..

thanks..

Total noob Question for u, i see men spear fishing in shorts with fins and snorkel, while others go full camo type suit,

Does it make much of a difference?

I have some diving experience and access to guns, i jus wanna know if it make sense to try meh hand

well i have padners that does dive with shorts normal normal, the wetsuit supposed to really protect u from abrasion from rocks and reef and keep u warm but u could dive without it

anything bro..lol I just love fishing..salmon, cavali, tarpon, ancho..u know..just nice fish..not too much of d king fish/mackerel..but its good to know incase de around..

I usually fish from jetty and the shore..sometimes rock fishing as well.

[Keshav1738]

You would have to use either a running sinker which is up and down or a bottom feeder
If you tying in spoon baits etc just tie the line to about 3ft fluorocarbon and then Palomar knot straight to the spoon
