  • In todays video, we head out on our good friend Charlie's boat looking to see if we can find some bluefin tuna. They made it easy for us, this was another incredible day. What a fishery the north coast has right now!
    Check out Outdoor Proshop in Cotati, CA. They can spool up braided line or hollow core, they can tie connection knots and do hollow core splices. They have everything you need there!

    Thanks for sharing another tuna trip. I have learned a lot about fishing strategy from both of you guys! Here are a few ideas for future instruction: when to use ropes to hold the rod instead of a gunwale road holder; are tuna biting the furthest line or does madmacs color seem like the dominant factor; and why did you switch from an inboard to outboard motor?

    • @DDFishingCo
      @DDFishingCo  7 місяців тому

      That’s awesome! Thanks man for the feedback. We will keep will keep that in mind for the future videos. On this day, the fish bit every color and every rod in the. The water whether is was close or far. It seems the far rod tend to get bit the most for us. We have an inboard outboard conversion coming soon!

What a hall. 1st, congratulations to the boys who own the boat (I already forgot their names) for getting some tuna on their boat before the end of the year. 2nd, the video work has been stellar. You really have nailed down what's important to keep and what you should edit out. Great video quality all around. I like the multiple video shots from different perspectives. Very, very cool. I can't get enough of your videos boys, keep up the good work.

    INSANE is right! Any tips on how to keep the trolling rigs from tangling with each other? We tried last week for the first time out Bodega with only two rods out and got them tangled while trolling. No fish this time, but hopefully we'll figure it out soon!

    • @DDFishingCo
      @DDFishingCo  7 місяців тому +1

      It definitely was! I would make sure your rods are spread out enough from each other, at least 200 feet and set one rod back at a time initially. I would also try not to turn too sharp on your turns.

      Thanks for watching man. I don’t know if there is a channel on UA-cam for locations. If you have Facebook there are a few norcal tuna pages that guys actively write reports and occasionally state where to look for them. For us, everything is constantly changing and by the time we film and edit a video, that location report wouldn’t be useful since the fish move around. I would check facebook!

      This is a good point Danny, at this point and as of lately we have been bringing people out with us that can take the fish home as our freezers are pretty stacked. Luckily on a day like this and having 2 guys that haven’t been able to get out for tuna yet, it works out that we aren’t personally coming home with 4 fish. It’s pretty tough to release these fish with how we fish them.

      The fish we are holding up in the thumbnail is the second fish, the first was somewhere in the range, it was so fast cause we dropped rods back in the water right away, it could have been a little more it could have been a little less. In the future we are going to start measuring them .

We typically burn these fish in as fast as we can, our farthest rods are around 1000 feet behind the boat so we try to utilize the the boat and the rod as much as we can to get them in quick. But if it was a casting rod or jigging rod it would be different story forsure.

We back lashed and couldn’t get where we wanted to with our casts. We are going to invest in casting setups. On this trip, at the end of the night we tried night jigging with no success. We want to get out there and try some new stuff, working on making the investments in the right gear.
