We went from Dana point to the 209 which is a zone for bluefin tuna from 60# to over 200# plus we where over 200 yard of line out @ 13 knots with the madmacs lure’s. That is why with we use bent rods and 80w Shimono.  You are right in all 50 year I never seen a volume of Dorado that would not bit. Of all the boats (15) on the the 209. I saw 2 fish caught. And one of them was us. So to say we should have filled the boat Is disingenuous. When they are eating micro bait it is hard to get them to bit.
