| The biggest problem we encounter is a | | | | |
| massattack, wahoo porpoising in at break-neck | | | | 1. McWhog - Blue/Chartruese - Rigged in front |
| speed, every rod in thespread going off and | | | | of a garfish (Ballyhoo) |
| then multiple bite-offs as other wahoo | | | | |
| attacklines or swivels cutting through the | | | | 2. Lurestreet Raptor minnow - Green/gold or |
| water. We combat this by trollinga full | | | | Red/white |
| spread until we find a pack and then switch | | | | |
| to towing just twolures. Often, just a | | | | SHORT RIGGER |
| garfish (ballyhoo) on a two hook rig with a | | | | |
| smallpink skirt on the nose. Trolling speed | | | | 1. Wellsys Medium Turbojet - Blue Silver / |
| is usually around 6-7kts. Mostwahoo skippers | | | | Green Gold (Evil) |
| around the world troll faster. Here, higher | | | | |
| speeds donot increase strike rates. Last week | | | | (This is our absolute 'must have' in the |
| on the Kadavu Seamount, we werefeeding a skip | | | | spread) |
| bait back to a small blue marlin and a 60lb | | | | |
| wahoo hit aLumo green Pakula Sprocket that | | | | LONG RIGGER |
| was only doing about 2kts. | | | | |
| | | | 1. Lurestreet Yahoowahoo - Black/green/red (I |
| All lures are rigged on at least4 feet of | | | | have seen wahoo charge this lure from 100 |
| 124lb 49 strand wire. (Longer if we thing | | | | yards away) |
| sails are in thearea) At this time of year, | | | | |
| if it isn't on wire, it isn't coming back.... | | | | 2. Pakula Phantom - Blue Silver / Green Gold |
