Again with the yoyoing
i no the general area where most yellows are taken (i think). but my question is.. do you guys have more luck throwing your iron a mile. let it hit the bottom. then a steady retrieve all the way back to the yak. OR do you like to keep your iron on the bottom with more of a jigging retrieve. thanks for any advice.... |

I make a short cast let it hit the bottom then BURN IT 20-30 cranks depending on where my marks are. Immediately throw it into freespool, let it hit again and repeat. I usually get 3 yoyo's per cast. My last retrieve is when the iron is straight down from the boat.
If you let it sit on the bottom your going to catch a lot of rockfish and Salmon Grouper. You will NEVER out crank a yellowtail. |

I drop straight down and quickly yo-yo up 20 -30 cranks, droping back down a couple of feet then repeat.
Check out this video. I am not a salesman. I think that there are other jigs out there that are just as good and less expensive but the technique is what works. http://www.wahoonbox.com/videos/BUTTERFLY.wmv

There are alot of sport fishing legends that are big believers in the 45 degree grind.
Variety is what works in my opinion.
