Apr 3, 2012; 01:15PM - Hawaiin jug trick

Tip&Trick Description 1:
I recently learned this from an old Hawaiian fishing
book a friend loaned to me.
<>
<>When fishing for dolphin take a gallon jug attached to 20 feet of aid or dacron with a 2 ounce egg sinker sliding on it, connect to a swivel and then 6-10 feet of mono or fluro and a 6/0 circle hook.
<>
<>When you start hooking dolphin in the spread, throw the jug overboard baited with a chunk of fish, squid or small live-bait, being careful not to tangle your trolling lines. As you play out the already hooked fish, inevitably another dolphin takes the jug bait.
<>
<>This prevents you from losing the shoal whilst fighting the trolled fish and you also get several followers to cast to around the milk jug that you can go back to once you landed the first fish.
<>
<>Use a gaff to retrieve the jug/fish through the jug handle.
<>
<>Have tried it twice now and it worked like a charm both times, resulting in much more sport and fish on the grill.. Not sure if there are 'rules or regulations' against such things in the USA though.. |

Sep 13, 2005; 05:20PM - Christmas Island
|

Author Name: Stan Wright

Starting in September, Pacific Air out of Fiji will start regularly scheduled flights to Christmas Island each Tuesday. That's a 3 hour flight from Honolulu.
Just returned from Christmas and the fishing was excelent. Lots of bone fish.... not the largest in the world(a 4 pounder was the biggest I got) but there sure were a lot of fish.
We also worked the shallow reef and caught a huge variety of colorful. fish. Lots of GT from one pound up to 35 pounds. Drifting the shallow reef in the boat, I would wait till some one hooked up, check the size of hooked fish, and then choose the right size rod... then just roll cast to the school of fish following the hooked fish and it was instant hook up.
Start saving your money.... we're going again.
Aloha,
Stan
