youareck Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 I was just wondering if i want to go offshore to chase after some YFt what's the best way to chase them? I have gear set up 80lb main line (braid) about 300 m then 70lb of (braid) connected the 80lb braid then 100lb fulo trace. Have 6-10 kg jig rod. Just wondering if it is food enough to get a YFT around 15kg mark. Also i was wondering about is what type of rig should i use to connect my line to my trace and my trace to lure or cube? What size hook is good for YFT? I have 7/0 Owner bait hook at the moment ? just woondering if i need a bigger size or smaller size hook for YFT?

Flightmanager Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Do yourself a favour , and go on a charter with one of our sponsors. They will teach you all you need to know about catching 'fin. ( It just so happens we have a Fishraider Tuna Charter coming up , still a few spots left!). Who better to teachyou than people who earn their livings chasing tuna ?

roosterman Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 (edited) cannot agree more with what Ross has said... reading between the lines sounds like you are a newbie and going out wide chasing fin can be a handfull to say the least if your not prepared properly... you can learn from a good charter in hours what you may spend many many years to achieve... i did a trip last year on fishfinder and even though i consider myself a pretty experienced fisho with alot of knowledge it was different to actually be there with someone showing me the ropes.... this goes for all types of fishing as i picked up a couple of new tricks of a pro last year regarding kings/jew in syd harbour that have already produced the goods...... if you cannot get onto a charter at least get out on another more experianced fishos boat to learn how to do it properly and safely... cheers....steve......

Guest Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Thanks a lots guys i'll try to go on a chater but you guys know when is the YFT chater coming up? Contact Fishfinder or Broadbill Charters and they will arrange a trip for you. Click on the sponsors banners at the top of the forums You have just missed out on the Fishraider Tuna day as all places are now taken on all 3 boats. Look down the bottom of the page in the forums for Fishraider Social events. Cheers Stewy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
