What setup should I use to troll for Dorado, Wahoo, Sailfish and King Mackerel?
February 28th, 2010
I now troll in and around the Kingston Harbour (Jamaica) catching mostly small Kingfish, Jacks and Barracudas, all under 20lbs. I want to start catching much larger fish so I will be trolling 4 miles out on the edge, between deep and shallow. I can only troll two lines. I have a #3 planer, Drone spoons (#4, #2.5), Pet Spoons #18, Rapala CD14, X-Rap Magnum 15, Boone Cairns Swimmer, MirrOlure 111MR diving plug (25 feet), Braid Runner 5" model, with one standup rod (Penn Slammer) paired with Penn Special Senator 114H 6/0, one all roller trolling rod with Penn International II 50TW reel. All reels spooled with 50lb Ande, Penn 50TW with 850 yards, Penn 114H with 475 yards. How do I rig the lures? (I now use haywire twists to attach 18" single strand coffee steel leader directly to lures then clip ball-bearing snap swivel attached to main line onto the leader. #5 44lb coffee wire) What length wire leader is best for the larger fish? What test wire leader or mono leader? Do I need to double the last section of main line? Should I buy other lures and what should they be? I don’t mind risking the Pet spoons on mono leader since they are cheap.
I’ve never fished in the Atlantic, but off Baja California I’ve caught wahoo and dorado. They both tend to like bigger jigs — the Rapala CD-18 is a good all-around trolling lure, and wahoo love the Braid Marauder, the 10-inch size.
I’ve fished the Marauder rigged on about a 4-6 foot 200 lb cable leader on an 80-pound outfit, trolled at 8-12 knots. 50 pound running line might be a bit light for this lure at that speed.
I use the CD-18 for tuna, yellowtail, and dorado, straight-tied onto the mono, but for toothy fish (wahoo and king mackerel) wire would be in order, probably around 100 lb test. (It should be stronger than the main line, as it gets more abuse than the main line. 44 lb leader on 50 lb main line is probably too light. Cable is more kink-resistant than single-strand, but it’s thicker, too.) The leader doesn’t need to be excessively long — probably long enough so a sailfish’s bill won’t be whacking the main line, and so the swivel at the top of the leader isn’t too close to the lure.
Double-line isn’t really necessary for fish under 100 lbs — I think that’s mainly so a deckhand can handline a huge marlin or shark the last few feet to the boat (for safety reasons).
My church bible group leader keeps making what I’d describe as almost racist comments?
February 28th, 2010
I live in London and we have a group bible study every week. Three English ladies attend (including me), a Jamaican lady and the leader is Ghanaian. Anyway, we decided one day to go out for coffee and the Ghanaian leader said, "I don’t know, you English people and your English teas". On another occasion we were dicussing something else and I gave my opinion about it and he came out with, "Well, you English people do tend to have that attitude". What is this man’s problem? Is this racism or what and why is he doing this?
I do not know how his remarks could be construed as racial. It may not be in good taste to refer to your race and pass a certain remarks in relation to the race. Does it really sound derogatory or making fun of the English as a group. Perhaps, you may have a talk with him and put your exasperation to him mildly.
