Hey guys, how's everybody??
I'm in the Azores, and although a lot of people don't know, we have in all 9 islands amazing land/rock based pelagic fishing. In some of the islands, in specific spots, we can get some bigger tuna (small tuna you can catch in every island basically everywhere), mahi mahi, huge greater amberjack and even wahoo. Big bluefish, silver trevallies, barracuda (the atlantic one) as well as almaco jacks and groupers are very common.
This year I'll hit in popping and stickbaiting 2 specific island looking for some big greater amberjack, wahoo and mahi mahi from the rocks (maybe some bigger tunas as well). Fish that might go to 20kg or above (easily in some places)...
Saying this, I normally fish here with 50lb to 60lb fluor leader. But I was looking at some shock leaders, and some doubts came to my mind...
Does it makes a lot of difference using fluorcarbon leader from shock leader?
What breaking strain (lbs) should I aim for? I fear that the 50lb to 60lb might be too short no? And How long should be my leader? Normally I use around 1.3 to 1.5m of leader.
I hope you guys can help me.
Cheers and tight lines from the Azores
