Incredible gamefish, one of the favorites... I am always dreaming about the next trip to Mexico-no doubt the most affordable place to get nice tuna (no BFT, but YFT, skipjack, etc.)
Another question for you Mark...have you tried fishing for tuna in Taiwan?
Hi Vlad...
Mexico for rooster?!
It is so nice and effortless (literally) to get a pod of those boiling fish from boat... : ) I AM always dreaming about it! I have a tuna reel... but never got a chance to use them on tuna...
On the east coast of Taiwan we have a very nice strong current run by the shore, all the way to Japan... I know some people catch tuna, bonito and GT on shore when the timing is right! Just like the Northeast striper fishing. I am getting another tune reel soon... :P the closest chance would be fishing on the Gulf Mexico this summer with some friends from the sea lab : ) will see...
The prices in Baja are very reasonable...I didn't get a rooster on my last trip, even though some small ones were after my fly, but no takers. I wanted dorado, but we could not find any, so ended up with football size YFT for the most part. You can catch alot of different species from the shore. I was planning to go this year again, but some other plans came up for this summer...hopefully next year. Mark I love SWFF, bluewater especially, but it is not as convenient as inshore fishing. Maybe one day we can go with big glass rods after Charley (the tuna) ;-)
I think my lifetime dream trip would be one of those mother-ship operations which Steve Abel used to host. You spend a week on the sea and catch all kinds of bluewater gamefish-crazy action.
Wow... Yellow fin sounds great too! Vlad.
Hard to imagine how much fun that would be to hook them on glass rod! I heard about there are a lot of lifting power required to fight those bluewater species... two handle style... maybe I should built the 7wt Mcfarland with bluewater style : ).
Talk about dorado, we have a lot of Dorodo on the eastern coast too! They are chasing the flying fish and pretty easy to spot them... the best part is our people don't see them as "good" fish because of their looking... giving an impression of "the execution knift"... well, I am surely glad to know they are "under utilized" fish back home : ) Nice story Vlad... I got to feel the reel screaming myself! : )
Before the modern graphite bluewater rods were widely common, some people used Seeker glass blanks built into fly rods. The problem with them: they aren't very portable (1 pc), so not very good for travel. Older Fisher bluewater models were cool, but now fetch good prices on Ebay. I still have older Loomis Megataper, I used 10/11 for school size YFT. They are pretty durable...I'd like to try the new TFO Bluewater, half graphite, half S-glass. Also Lamiglas has some S-glass/composite big sticks. Nobody makes pure glass bluewater rod, but those glass Seeker blanks are still around... Maybe cut up a Seeker and make a 4 pc, with spigots?
Nice post Mark!
Tuna are my passion! As you know I've spent a good deal of my life chasing them for a living, although we are not allowed to catch and sell the small little "children" ; )
1000lbers baby!!!
Thanks for the information again! Vlad... Great information, I enjoy reading though this thread...
Bryan, you probably already see my "drop-jaw" position! I have to say everytime I hear your story I MUST do that again! : P
You got to write all these crazy stories about catching and serious processing on your blog! It is history and the history is disappearing... I got to find more films about tuna... : )
