The techniques used
Trolling with artificial lures
When trolling with artificial lures we sail at a speed of 6 to 8 knots in search of schools of tuna or bonito that we are able to detect by the presence of sea birds.At the same time we travel along the different lines marking underwater changing depth where warm current graze colder currents from the south. Using this techniques we can catch various fish like bonitoes, tunas, wahoos, doradoes and marlins.
Fishing with life bait
We also troll using live bait. This technique is used mainly for marlin fishing, but we can also catch sharks and dog-tooth tuna by using this same method. This technique consist of trolling with one or two live bonito or young tuna at a speed of around 2 knot. This enables the bait to swim freely at the back. For this technique we use one or two 130 lbs reel. Fishing with live bait is an art in itself and requires a certain professionalism on the fisherman part.Because he has to be very precise on the timing when hooking the fish.
Fishing with Rapala
This technique is mainly used to catch wahoo, barracuda and Dogtooth and Yellow fine tuna.
