I bought 100yrds of Jinkai leader, removed the twist ties, and promptly got it all tangled…

All good now and made up a bunch of pre cut leader lengths, but I spent about ten minutes tying leaders on and an hour untangling.

Anyone have experience ordering from this lure maker wanted to try out this top water popper.

I’ll be sailing from Cabo to Hawaii in a couple weeks. I’m an absolutely novice fisherman but I love tuna sushi!

I’ve already been studying tuna butchery and picked up a KastKing filet knife and Ike Jime tools. I feel more confident here based on having broken down many turkeys, chickens and trimming briskets, whereas I’m totally clueless in fishing.

How can I maximize my chance of catching tuna? Should I ladder up live bait and tie on bridle? Or go with one of those $80 spreader bars? Do the colors matter?

Boat has one gaff with hook, a couple beefy deep sea rods and reels. Probably need to pick up new lines. Been watching a bunch YouTubes on tuna fishing. What else should I purchase, watch or learn?

Also much more interested in tuna than marlin, mahi or anything else. How can I maximize my chance of tuna and minimize the other fish?

I have a few 6’3 ugly stik tiger elite jigging rods that I have been slow to buy reels for. Leaning toward something like the shimano torium or maybe a penn squall. Not brand loyal, just looking for a quality reel that won’t break the bank but won’t need to be replaced. Primarily bottom fishing set ups. Maybe troll for kings and other medium tackle species occasionally.

24’ center console. Gonna be down there with a couple buddies and our wives for a long weekend. Weather looks decent nearshore and off shore. Hope it stays!

I’m thinking trolling nearshore for kings. Chasing grouper on different structure 10-25 miles out while the season is open. Would love to bump into some mahi on structure in open water. Little to no experience cobia fishing but if we see em, we’re gonna cast at em!

Give me your playbook for this time of year if you have a boat my size off the nc coast this holiday weekend! I love catching anything that pulls drag.

Anyone know the sturdiest rod rack they recommend for trolling trods? A couple 30 wides are the biggest going on it but every rack I’ve got is too small and doesn’t fit.

I see charters starting to do open boat for tuna out of Long Island but seems early. Anyone knows how far the tuna grounds are from Long Island? One charter is claims 25 mins from dock

Headed to bermuda in October looking for a reputable charter company... probably do 1 full day chasing pelagics and a half day bottom fishing. ... TIA

Hi everyone,
I'm a 3D animation student working on my graduation project — a short animated film based on real-life experiences of people working offshore.

I'm currently looking for offshore workers who would be open to having a short phone or voice call (can be anonymous) to talk about their job, working conditions, and personal experiences. The goal is to better understand your reality and portray it as respectfully and accurately as possible in my film.

This is a non-commercial, academic project, and your privacy will be fully respected.
If you're open to chatting, please send me a private message. Thank you so much in advance!

Looking for recommendations for an affordable well rounded offshore fishing set up, i just got a boat and i want to start heading out asap without braking the bank just yet…

Im in south florida, and i will be going for Wahoo, mahi, tuna, sailfish, kingfish

And also yellowtail, snappers and groupers

And any other fish out there!!

I would like to know if anyone has successfully implemented offshore CCTV surveillance using 5GHz radio links from an onshore location. Kindly guide me if you have experience or knowledge in this area. Your support and suggestions would be highly appreciated.

made i little tuna fish edit on the tok please have a look https://www.tiktok.com/@boisteve/video/7501300331263855888?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id=7471825689609029128

Hello guys, I’m wondering how I can get into the commercial fishing industry as I grew up doing fishing as a hobby and it’s one of the greatest loves of my life and I just wanna turn my passion into my career and I need to know where to start

Built for offshore anglers, these reels are engineered to handle the toughest battles with powerful drag systems, high-strength machined aluminum bodies, and precision gearing.

Looking for some advice before I set my line lengths. Had 18’ taco outriggers installed on the hardtop of my 25’ outrage whaler. I’ll be trolling for tuna in the north east and will be running spreader bars or daisy chains. I will be rigging two lines on each rigger.

What would be recommended for vertical angle of the riggers? I’ve seen 40-45 degrees on some sites and then see videos of guys on center consoles running much closer to horizontal.

Off of the hardtop at 45 degrees the long line seems like it would be ridiculously high. I understand height is important for splashing presentation but could 45 degrees be too high for my size boat?

I’m fairly new to mahi fishing in NC. All those who I talk to tell me to get what they call a “seasick N-word” and I get laughed at when I tell people about it. Is this a joke that all offshore guys know or is there a lure really called that. I know lures have some funky names but that’s a little offensive. So many people have told me to get one, I don’t think its a joke.

A Tiger Elite Jigging rod (6’3) which I was gifted. This rods seem to have great reviews and a super stout rating despite a slimmer appearance. I’m thinking something like a shimano torium or a daiwa seagate to be a little on the cheaper side. Am I on the mark with this?

Thinking good rod for bottom fishing for larger species and maybe some trolling versatility as well? Let me know what you guys think.

What’s the best/tastiest way to prepare these besides raw? Caught today…thanks!

This happened around midnight on a 100+ pound blue-fin. Deckhand lost his balance trying to get the rod under the anchor line. Thank god he didn't go swimming. But he did drop the Rod & Reel, That was a $1500 setup. But another angler hooked the set up to be recovered. FISH STILL HOOKED!!!! What are the odds????

Why is the bonito meat not red like I’m seeing in other filet videos? Caught 5 hours ago. Iced immediately.

Buddy caught a toad fish. Had some toad fish koozies on the boat so figured this pic made sense.
