When you hook up a single or double, and don't get the rest of the pack to jump on(especially them penguins), try casting toward the bow of the boat with a good jig and letting the jig fall back as you slow to fight the fish already hooked. This often results in a bonus fish.
With sbft, I have been able to keep the entire school with the first hooked football on the troll, and sometimes have even stayed on drift picking a way for a good while on the metals, because you can bring them up to the boat when they follow the first guy, and then get em feeding on the bait they were working to begin with as you shut down the boat and get them suicidal!!!  The Po-Jee 2.5 ounce by Pt. Jude lures is killer for those sbft!! |
Congratulations Capt Dom; This was the random thread number selected.

I would like to thank everyone who participated. After reviewing all of the threads, I realized that there is a wealth of great information posted in this thread. So, I figured it would be a good idea to distill this into several catagories and generate a "Tips & Tricks" section on our RDT Web Site and it would make a great section on NBS the Site ... Again, thanks to all and we appreciate the strong support we get from NBS which allows us to do these give-aways.
Tight lines and congratulations Capt Dom
