Tuna Fishing Haida Gwaii!

[trophywife]

Do guys typically run just 4 rods for albacore? When I went out of WH we ran 11 handlines and 1 rod.

i will run 8-10 lines. RODS only!

 

[Hardy Guy]

We run 5 to 7 rods with 2 dive boards on hand lines.

7 rods two dive boards

Two dive boards with zukers

Two short off the stern , naked no splash birds , right in the wash , usually jet heads over zukers

Two out on the second wake , splash birds with a zuker of some sort

Two off the outriggers further out in the clean water , again splash birds and zukers

One shotgun way way back with either a larger skirted jethead , or a big cedar plug .

Some days they just love the dive boards

I finally stopped running outriggers, it was too slow during hot bites and I found boats were cleaner to run. I usually run 4 to 6 boats in the spread.

Can’t beat that sound when a XL pounds it out of the rigger though kel!
