Mikey: 1. Buy proper jig stick 2. Buy proper jig stick reel 3. Go to a park and cast until your arms are tired and you get at least 100 feet a cast. Great vid and take care.
That’s what happens when you tail hook one. Good thing I didn’t mess with the drag. This is turning out to be an all time legendary year and I am so grateful to be fishing full time and taking advantage of it. Tight lines!!
My pleasure Ahmer. We live in a beautiful universe and I am so thankful to share my story. Your love and support energizes to keep progressing and getting better. Lot’s more videos on the way. Thank you!
Congrats Mikey! The persistence paid off. Saturday we found the foamers but like you guys experienced they ignored what ever was being thrown. So frustrating!
Hopefully the tuna stick around and we get more shots art them from the Solo Skiff. Also kelp paddy fishing from the Solo Skiff is exciting. Tight lines Mark!
@@SDFishandSips Looks like the bluefin are gone unless you go more then a couple days, but Yellowfin and Dorado are starting to show up. Kelp Paddy hopping is looking good. Tight Lines.
Get that brake dialed....makes a difference when casting conventional....I get in the habit too of keeping the brake off.....further cssts when u get it right but less issues when tuned to lure weight
Hey Brotha you may find if you don't fill your reels with so much mono it will drastically minimize your backlashes. After 35 yrs on the water I've learned one or two helpful tricks. Hope it helps. Especially you buddy running the boat. Another good technique is to slow troll your surface irons just ahead of the fish. Works the same as casting with no chance of operator error. Mexican panga fisherman have perfected the technique. Infact alot will take a brand new surface iron and scrape off all the paint before they fish it. Color means nothing. It's all about how it swims.
Hey Mr. SD Fish and Sips. It is Drew from Bob's Tackle in Norwalk CA. Get a Shimano Torium 20. Let me make some adjustments to it. Fill it with 30lb. Mono or with braid and at least 80-100yds of mono (casting length approx.) and you will cast way farther. Braid for a main line isn't for everything.
I've watched a couple of your videos and you seem like a really nice guy who is totally stoked on fishing, which is awesome! The casting will come with more practice. A couple of pieces of advice - when you feel the bite on an iron, don't swing to set the hook - just keep reeling through the bite. It's tough to get used to when first starting out but you'll catch a lot more fish that way. Also try not to put your hand/thumb on the spool when the fish is taking line. More important when bait fishing but still a good habit to get into. Lastly, ignore the haters about it being tail hooked - you got one. Congrats bro!
Thank you fedge101. I am going to utilize all these tips and pointers you have provided, keep fishing hard, and enjoy the process of getting better and progressing. This is my first season learning and fishing for these special bluefin tunas. I am so grateful to have made the jump into full time fishing and take advantage of these amazing time Mother Nature and the universe it providing us. Thanks for watching, the feedback, love and support. Tight lines!!!
Awesome video Mikey!! Persistence always gets the job done! I was out on my kayak in LJ like 2 or 3 days ago and a 12 ft great white shark came up like 6 feet away away from me.... I nearly shit myself lol but thankfully he didn’t circle me or try for a snack😅 Never know what you’re gonna see out there! Tight lines Mikey
I just have a Food Saver. That's what I've always had but burned a few out. Look for the Costco FoodSaver package when they're on sale. The latest one I ordered online because I wanted smaller than what Costco was selling and didn't need the extra bags. Otherwise the next level up vacuum bagger is around $400 online
In Washington state the tuna grounds are a 6 hr ride offshore.... would love to make a trip to SoCal one day. Cool channel Mikey, catch em all bud !!!!!!
Thanks Chaz!! Let me know anytime you make it to SoCal and we will fish together. I will let you know when I make it up to Washington State. I hope to go up there and visit sometime in the fall. Tight lines!
@@SDFishandSips I'm on Whidbey Island about a 1hr + short ferry ride north of Seattle. September is a good month for some Coho action, I live right near the spot. If you come up this way for sure hit me up. cwbickel@gmail.com
Heres one more before i go,,,You do know those reels dont have level winds on them? Right.try using that left thumb for something other than hitch hiking,lol
I found myself screaming at the tv. You guys were blowing it big time surrounded by fish, throwing backlashes every cast. Finally a hook up now to see if you could redeem yourselves.
Haha Bobby. Only you can answer that first question of why you watched. Yes this was my first time out throwing irons for bluefin. I am so stoked to have landed such a special fish from a special place my first time out. I will keep fishing hard, living my dream. Do you have any recommendations on your personal favorite rod and reel setups for throwing irons at bluefin foamers? Thanks for watching, your time, and engagement. Tight lines!!
you're rolling with an excellent captain. I'd say just work on those casts. I like my MC JX avet. been able to get some good casts with a proper jig stick!
Thank you Cameron. What length(s) and model(s) are some of your favorites? I originally had my Tranx 500 on this Terez Rod but switched things up after I got gear stolen. I’m actually looking to purchase a new rod/reel combo for throwing irons/poppers at feeding tunas. Right now I’m leaning towards another Avet LX or JX most likely raptor drag. I was also considering a Penn Fathom but now not sure because of more casting. Accurate are nice reels also. Thanks for watching, your time, and your engagement. Tight lines!
Thanks Frank! Great eye! It was 59.4lbs bled and gutted the next day on the certified scale. I’ve heard tuna loose about 13% weight after bled, gill and gutted. I thought 60lbs at first then 70lbs. What would you call this fish?
That’s some of the worst casting I have ever seen. Line wasn’t tight on spool most of the time. Short casts with grinding spool. Also if you reeled your surface jigs in slower and didn’t spaz out, you would have hooked more fish.
Haha. Exactly. I need to work on my casting big time. I’m learning to re-tighten the line on the spool by letting out then rewinding in between foamer blow ups. I’ve heard mixed opinions on speed of the retrieve. Thanks for watching and the engagement. I’m so stoked to have landed a special fish from a special place. Tight lines!!
@@SDFishandSips You handled that comment with class. I would recommend taking your rod and reel to a park or open field with an old surface iron with no treble hook and casting. Fishing on a skiff your best side to be casting on would be the starboard side aproximately 90 degrees since your left handed your swing angle will veer to the left, casting port side will disrupt your cast because of the t top. Also how long is that rod? Doesnt look like the best setup, single speed reel penn fathom 25N is a great economical choice paired up with a nice 9 ft like calstar 90J or 9 ft seeker pinhead Ulua are among the best 9 footers and can be found used fairly priced. Keep up the good work!
Man, when all the fish are biting and your trying your hardest to do it all right, a big Atta Boy is well deserved. Any way you get ‘em is all good. I loved this video Mikey. All the work and all the reward was well deserved. I was pullin for you the whole time, hoping that fish wouldn’t come unbuttoned. Love the real excitement and all the fun you guys had. Best video ever man! Great fish too! Memorable experience. Cool!
Gotta clear out your backlash before casting out again. You're going to backlash every time if you don't clear out the previous one. Nice tight even line on the spool is necessary for long casts.
Good call Alfredo. Is this the Alfredo I met on the water out chasing tuna on the Solo Skiff? I’m learning to tighten line on the spool in between foamers. Thanks for the tips. Tight lines!!
@@SDFishandSips I wish, I haven't been on the kayak out in San Diego in a while. I see your UA-cam videos man, you get out there and you get it done for sure. Just gotta work on those casts, it was driving me crazy watching your video, tunas foaming, and you couldn't get your jig out far enough. For long casts, super critical that the line is laid down evenly and tight from the cast before. Good luck man, hope to run into you at LJ one day.
congratulations SD Fish for your videos that you share to all people ,awesome catch bluefin tuna , what size this rod terez are you used, and how many lb the leader are you use ? Nice casting on the avet .everyone from East coast watch your videos , my dreams is fishing in sandiego, my first bft I catch was over 100 lb , keeping post videos God blessed you.
Thank you so much. 8’ terez rod fast action heavy power 55-100lb braided line rated. 60lb Berkeley power pro Mono leader on the avet. So blessed for this catch and my life. Total dream world. Thanks for the love and support! Tight lines!!!
Haha. Exactly. Better to be lucky than good sometimes. Funny you talk about the Tranx500 HG. It is sitting in front of me but needs to be repaired. Parts are hard to get so I am sending directly to Shimano because I heard good things about their service program. I heard today from a guy at West Marine that he prefers the Tranx 500PG over the HG. I had theTranx on that Terez rod. Do you have any recommendations for a setup? What are some of your favorites? Thanks for watching, your time, and engagement. Tight lines!
@@SDFishandSips - for throwing surface irons and jigs you want a good reel with a star drag- Tranx 500, Trinidad 20a, Torium, OEM Fathom 2. It would be better to fight a big fish with a 2 speed but they don’t cast very well because the free spool is not great and it’s easy to get a backlash like you experienced. So it’s better to get a rod 8-10ft and a good star drag reel to make Long casts. When chasing schools of fish like bluefin you don’t want to rush right up to them with your boat because most of the time they will sink out. So what you want to do is take your time look what direction they are headed and get ahead of them preferably up wind and then kill your boat engine and all accessories so there is no noise and then make long downwind casts in TNT’s foamers. You will get much more hook ups and the only downside is hooking a giant you will have a long battle but that’s part of the game
Thanks Sam. 9’ or 10’. I’ll be ready to take a beating from the larger fish on the longer rod. What are some of your favorite brand and models of rods. I’m looking at buying a new setup. You have any connections? Thanks for watching, the time and engagement. Tight lines!
Thanks S H. Yes I definitely need to work on my casting skills. Sometimes it’s better to be lucky than good. So stoked on getting a LJ Bluefin tuna. Such a special fish for me personally. Thank you for watching and your honest feedback. Tight lines!!
lost all respect for you with the FOUL HOOKED FISH. THIS VID IS GOING TO FISH AND GAME!!! NO WONDER WHY YOU HAD TO FALLOW IT WITH 80 POUND LEADER AND BRAID!!!!!
So you do understand that foul hooking is 100% normal right? Tuna and game fish, ESPECIALLY bluefin, don’t blow right through the bait. They swipe at it. So it is entirely common to catch a fish in the side of it misses your bait on the first swipe. Also, ITS A FOAMER. There are hundreds of lbs of fish swimming in close proximity every which way. It can happen and does frequently. It also makes it more difficult to reel in. Get over yourself, read a rule book, and get some experience before commenting garbage on someone’s post that is just meant to spread positivity.
Haha. Right on Richard. I’m thankful you had a chance to voice your perspective on my video. I am grateful that I was not freshwater bass or salmon fishing where it would be against the rules to snag a fish. When fishing Bluefin Tuna in California I am allowed to tail hook a fish like I did in this video. Thank you for watching, your time, and your engagement. Tight lines!
