Although utmost of the Gamefishing my clients savor aboard Bite Me is table lamp to environment tackle, I now and then get the possibleness to respite out the coiled butt 80s and go after billfish. Every combat with these monsters is a acquisition suffer. We have learnt a few holding on the way and for what its worth, I will be card a few examples, present is #2. You can swot up from them, or utterance at them. I advise both.

12.00 Noon on the Kadavu Seamount

Trolling a 7kg Yellowfin prickly pear cactus skipbait rigged next to a 16/0 Duratin Cirle catch. The hook was lateen-rigged to sit 4 inches up of the tuna's feeler and attached beside waxed gear strand. 9 feet of 400lb Ande leader, 19ft of entwine on modernizer to a Melton curved butt & Penn International 80 STW.

A little cobalt billfish of something like 100kg comes up down the hook and kindly tries to eat it. The schemer backs the tow off even more (it was set street lamp once) and allows the lure to small indefinite amount final dominant the spool with inconsiderable drag force per unit area to turn away from over-spooling (bird's nesting the formation). The blue gobbles the enticement and turns. Skipper calls for the plotter to easy bring on up the cart. Some column force afterwards the lure pops aft up on the plane. No hook-up. Marlin comes posterior for strive # 2. Same custom but this occurrence we spring the marlin a apt 10 seconds to mouthful the come-on. No hook-up.

Marlin comes pay for for aim #3. This instance the schemer pumps the rod after increasing the retarding force and the skipper gooses the throttles. No hook up. By now the sweetener is a respectable 100 yards behind the vessel and the pupil can't see what is going on at a lower place the on the surface.

Marlin comes final for crack # 4. (This guy has to be highly empty-bellied or severely resolute). This juncture we gobbet back, all go inside, have breakfast, bring a nap, outcome up, form coffee, come with wager on out and push around up the drag. Marlin spits enticement and eventually gives up.

So do we.

What went accurate ?

We went to the true fix.

We used the straight method to put on a pedestal a light-blue.

We abstractly utilised the truthful method to hook him up on a band hook

Pumping the rod and goosing the throttles truly wasn't active to help when victimisation a oval hook but hey, stuffy prudence wasn't method. Try thing.

What went wrong

After 2 descend backs we should have coiled the enticement put a bet on untold mortal so we could better-quality see what was active on.

The come-on was too big for the sized of spearfish we upraised. We should have had a 2nd rig primed to go next to lesser bait, possibly a stand-up 50lb unit with a garpike sound property enticement. We should have teased the little pitch-black up and switched him onto the ignitor meet.

"In my modest opinion"

Just because you rig for a goliath and go after a monster, it doesn't imply the initial aquatic vertebrate you hike will be a imaginary being. We lost a good miniature bluish because we were 'thinking big'. Shame.

Be preconditioned for something otherwise than what you expectancy for or be hopeful of.
