Some 'Performance' Stats for new Parker 34-footer...

"hk" wrote in message ... Eisboch wrote: "hk" wrote in message . .. The following performance data was provided by Yamaha. Performance will vary depending on conditions and load. Minimum speed is too fast for tuna. Eisboch Uh...that's not minimum speed...that's the speed at 1000 rpm. :) The F350's have a trolling throttle controller, +/- 50 rpm increments (600 - 1000 rpm range) via the Command Link System. My F150 runs just fine at 600 rpm, and according to my gps, I can power the boat forward in still water at under one mph if I want. I assume most modern outboards can run real slow, except maybe some of the two stroke engines. I know. Just trying to be a wise ass. The Egg Harbor we had couldn't troll slow enough for tuna with both engines running and in gear. It didn't have trolling valves, so I often had to let one engine idle in neutral and use the other for the *magic* tuna trolling speed of about 3 kts. Eisboch Hmmmm. I used to troll my tuna spreads at five to 10 mph for yellowfin and blackfin tuna. |

Eisboch Caught lots of yellowfin, not so many blackfin, but did catch some of the latter. That's the speed range the entire "fleet" off NE Florida trolled for yellowfin and blackfin. And I noticed on several of Tred Barta's tv shows, he's trolling for tuna at at least the speeds I mentioned. I suppose I could find some "expert" mentioned those speeds on a legit site somewhere...if I looked. -- Republicans - They Take Special Pride in their Ignorance. |

"Fishing For Yellowfin Tuna Yellowfin fishing can start as early as late May depending on water temperature. Late June is more typical. Locally, They are most likely to show up first along the edge of Norfolk, Washington or Poor Man's canyon. Anglers may find success with a variety of daisy chains, artificial squid, spreader bars, small bullet shaped lures or rigged baits such as ballyhoo. I like to fish for them right on the drop from 300 to 600 feet. Most early season bites that I have experienced have been from 7 or 8 am till about 10 am. Arriving later is typically a waste this time of year. I like to leave the dock about 4:30 for this early season fishing. *** Preferred lures include spreader bars, daisy chains of artificial squid and the basic ballyhoo/sea witch or ballyhoo/feather jig combinations. Trolling speeds are usualy 5.5 - 7 knots, depending on the boat and sea condtions. *** http://www.daybreakfishing.com/Yellowfin-Tuna.html -- Republicans - They Take Special Pride in their Ignorance. |
