Most are using the standard artificial squid rigs. Of course, each captain has his "special" tailer attached to entice the tuna. Others have special bottom paint, some swear that different engine exhaust sounds attract them. Personally, I think it's all BS. Interesting. The guys in the Bahamas who fish for tuna swear by something called a "cedar plug" and also mentioned circling the birds. Our GB definitely attracts dolphins in big numbers, apparently because of the sound. Once they find the boat however riding the wake becomes the big attraction. We routinely hoist the RIB dinghy, 20 hp outboard, fuel and gear using the mast and boom, probably in the 400 to 500 pound range all up. Our mast and boom are more heavily stayed than most. |
