Background
Grandson of a professional fisherman, fishing is in my blood. First of all, it is my passion and I've been fishing professionally for more than 20 years. I will be pleased to share my knowledge with you.
Techniques
Whenever possible I like to do a bit of livebaiting along the dropoff in the morning and lure trolling to cover more ground afterwards.However,there are some times of the year when live bait is scarce and we only do lure trolling

Having caught a few big skipjack tunas,a yellowfin tuna and a blue marlin a few days earlier,Mr JP got lucky again.After a late start reports of boats that went out earlier was not good with not much activity.We decided to troll very close to the dropoff but it was very calm,no birds around. Just as we decided to change area we were pleased to hear the short rigger reel start screaming.It took our customer about 30 minutes to get the average sized blue marlin on the boat.

Our regular guest Mr Tim got to fight an estimated 400lbs black marlin,a dorado and 10 wahoo on the first trip.After a slow morning ,activity wise, we found the hungry fishes on our way back in.On the second trip we caught a big skipjack and used it as live bait with no success.Third trip we had an early fight with a 500lbs blue marlin that took the long rigger lure and ended the trip with a small skipjack and a 60lbs yellowfin tuna just before lines out.

Caught a 125 lbs yellowfin tuna on the way out and as the wind started to pick up we were lucky enough to add a dorado to the day's catch.Our customer's found the tuna too strong to fight and Jerome had to do some of the reeling.

On a cloudy morning we went out looking for the schools of yellowfin but they were not yet feeding. We caught a couple of skipjacks and did some live baiting. The sharks moved in after about an hour and we were left with only half of a skipjack. We went on to troll the lures again and found some schools and caught some more skipjacks. Around 12:30 we spotted a school of big yellowfin that was feeding aggressively on the surface and at our first round in that school we caught an estimated 150 lbs pound fish.
