Hi Guys and Gals,
I haven't been on FNN for a while but so far this has been the best fresh water fishing year of my life and now I'm looking to transfer that into the ocean.
I'm planning on hitting a overnight trip this weekend with a couple buddy's, I've saw some of the boats in SoCal are catching some pretty big bluefin so I'd thought it would be perfect time to go.
I have a few questions for anyone to answer. 1st question is I'm planning on bringing 3 poles, I wanted to know what kind of line and what pound test I should use? I'd hate to lose a big bluefin due to not having heavy enough line but I also heard bluefin are line shy? I was thinking 15 pd, 25 pd and 40 pd test? Not sure what brand though and is 40 to light for those big bluefin they're catching?
2nd question, what size hooks should I use? I usually use size 1 mustad hooks when targeting tuna and yellowtail any other size and/or brand I should try?
Last question, I love tossing lures but my back pack of irons are in Texas with most of my fishing gear. What color irons, lures or plastics should I buy? I'm not looking to spend and arm and a leg I just want to know what's working the best.
I appreciate any advice, I'll make sure to posts a report and sorry for all the misspells and run on sentences, I typed this up quick on my phone.
Thanks,
Josh Robinson
