Was a bit quick on posting this, I have been to the same place a couple of times and have had success in trolling around the yellow fin schools. I am wondering wether any of you have any experience with any other techniques such as stickbaiting or Live baiting or jigging? Should i bother packing the equipment that is needed for these alternative methods or do they not work on yellow fin tuna? many Thanks in advance

| i would imagine stickbaits and poppers would work well if they're schooling up around the surface |

We were there a month ago, went for a 3 hour troll and pop, we landed 2 yellowfin & 1 mahimahi.
They are around!, just watch out for the tooth gang, we lost no lures but were told we were very lucky, also got a blue fin trevally. All were on the troll.
Just look to the heavens & seek the birds then fish u will have.
Of course take your gear, take what ever u can carry, i had undies in my rod tube!.
Soo jelouse, cant wait for pics!!!.

| Take the gear, popping and jigging works just as well if not better perhaps than other methods of targeting YFT in the right situation. |
