Yo Yo Season
So how about some opinions? When should I tie on on the yo yo instead? |

when the fish are feeding deep and there are several marks on the fish finder. the fish that are eating the yo yo iron are usually on the hunt for squid or maybe the bait is deep or there is a change in the weather cold weather usually is the beginning of this behavior however one should always be tied on you never know its a big ocean we fish. in general fish at the depth the fish are. if they are on the surface, the surface iron is a great tool to use or flylined bait. when they're deep and its cold, nothing beats a reaction bite.

I remember this time last year, there were some FAT marks down there. Time to wrestle some lobster traps!

I always bring a dedicated yoyo setup and a jig stick....and I'm sure I'm not alone.
Well over half of the fish I've taken from LJ have been on the heavy iron. In fact most days, no matter the season, its sitting by my side with the iron laying on my bow ready to drop. Some days I don't even try to make bait. Fish the iron with confidence and fish it often. Learn the prefect retrieve speed to get the iron to swim and not spin. BE THE IRON, make it swim like a strong mac, twitch like a wounded sardine or pulse around on the bottom like a juicy squid....if that doesn't work simply bounce it around at the depth your seeing marks, I swear it annoys them and they get mad and bite it. "Too much bait around" ??? pin one on the iron and drop it down and see what happens...there is never "too much bait". The only thing more exciting than catching a YT, is catching one on the iron... |
