Nov/Dec Tuna?? - Page 2

gimmedeal · 08-18-2008, 05:24 AM

There have been a number of posts about what to bring on a tuna trip. The vast majority of YF are caught either chunking or popping, very few jigging. You can do your bottom fishing with the rig you use for chunking. So, 3 outfits. Myself, I just love jigging and am trying to improve my jigging game. I jig for bottom fishing and for tuna but I'll have rigs for everything.

When you finally schedule a trip, post up and see if any other members are going. I for one would bring an extra rod or two (or 10) if somebody needed something.
For your first rig, that's your decision. I'd get one that wasn't a compromise trying to do it all unless you believe that'll be the only one you'll ever get.
Again, most of the YF are caught on the chunk or popping during a bite on top.
