Farming 101
Okay, so far this year I have hooked up on several Thresher sharks, two big Halibuts, 4 unknowns and in the last two weeks, two large yellowtail. I have farmed them all. Oh sure, there were reasons, but it was still farming. I was depressed, blue, I started wondering why I fish.
So I decided to head out with some light line outfits and chase the only thing biting at DP, determined to break the curse. It wasn't easy, as you will see, and I am still not sure if I broke the curse, but here is my attempt... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5EHJDti6hec

looks like you had your hands full with those little guys.
i use 80-100lb mono leader when "targeting" them, they can be wire shy sometimes.

I don't think I've had that much action in my yak in one day yet!
That's a win in my book.

Stradic 1000, 15lb braid, UglyStik in the 6-12lb range, no wire, no leader, circle hooks. The other outfit was actually rigged for halibut, just in case, Calcutta 200, 25lb braid, 25lb flouro leader. The leapords definately prefered the spinning reel.

Nice video David, thanks for the post. Looks like you had a long, action-filled day at Capo reefs. Those calm seas are a real pleasure. I was out at the point in similar conditions the day before-got a couple hali but only 2-3 bites total. Planning to go to LJ on Tues(8/28). You available to join me?

That is a fun spot. Lots of variety there.
Good work. How does Leopard shark taste? (probably like chicken, duh!). Good work, busy day. |

Got it, thanks, see you there.
It has a light flavor and a nice texture. Very good. Live dines on a halibut rig for the Calcutta, the spinning reel was flylined dines with a split shot just to keep them down from the birds. The fly lined seemed to get better results. The Calico's also hit the flylined dines.
