Briscrit,

We treat them like the tuna they are and troll small jigs and swimmers for them. We fish 4 rods - 2 off rodriggers and 2 flatlined off the stern. We troll anywhere from 3 to 5 knots depending on tide and current. Long baits are 150' back and flatlines are 30' back. Main line is 8lb test with 10lb fluoro leaders. As with their bigger brothers you've got to fish where there is life and structure. You've gotta weed thru the blues to get them but they are there. Good luck - they are a lot of fun. Can't wait till the albies show up.
