Turn your rig into a FAD
March 28th, 2012Golfito which in Jan. was the hottest Marlin bite in the world,has been very slow since….Now in the last few weeks we have had a reasonable sail fish run…Dozen shots a day for the average boat.The way we maximize our shots on Thumper is to end the day in our best water.We then set up the hydro glow and other light sources and drift to concentrate the bait.We have a large capacity live well and seed the drift with google eyes,runners,herring etc. …At first light we set it up and run 1/2 mile circles around the drift line and will usually see a half dozen fish in the spread that first magic hour while the rest of the fleet is running.
Overnight is magic at sea. Catch and release a Sail after only 10 minutes awake is way better than Café. Those waters are so wild!
