That’s an incredibly beautiful creature, never saw one before. Thanks for releasing it. He’s got to Daddy more babies so he can in rich our world for future generations to find their joy.
There is one time that nose hooking the bait is better for sure. I went on a tuna trip and absolutley murdered them. I caught the first and last fish and enough in between to give plenty away. The last fish I caught is possibly one of my best fishing stories. We were on the way back to the landing. There were only about 8 baits left in the livewell. I stood there until we found another school of tuna. Everyone that was standing there with me i told we have to save the bait. Nose hook so we can bring them back of we do not get a bite. Sure enough we stopped on a school and everyone butt hooked the bait. Everyone casted in and I was talking shit to all of them. Sure enough no biters and the captain told us to wind in. I watched everyone else pop their baits off one by one. I slowly started winding my bait back to the boat. I got 5 cranks, 10 cranks, then when I hit about 15 line started peeling off my reel. 45lb yellowfin to end the trip. Everyone I had been standing with at that bait tank got to watch the last fish of the trip come over the rail. 😂
i just ordered a 2024 Daiwa Regal LT 2500 spinning reel and i just have not picked the Daiwa medium power rod im putting it on but this is in the running the medium power will cast my 3/4oz swim baits and that is all i need it to do max
Hi Ray Wanted to know your thoughts on the Diawa Lexa 400 winn for throwing surface irons for yellowtail I have the reel and used it only once but would like to get more use , not a great caster with a conventional reel but practicing . The Lexa I can cast pretty good with but worried about the line capacity ? Any thoughts would be great look like your season started off pretty good
When you fight a fish on conventional weather it be a yellowtail or tuna do you guide the line onto the spool as you fight or do you focus on the fight itself?
@dirtyhookers Always enjoy watching your videos... For the Shimano Torium 16 what was your line you had it paired with? Was it the same as the Torium 20? 65lbs braid, 40lbs mono, and 30lbs Flouro?
Oh man! I'm definitely going on a Tony Reyes trip. Can I book a spot on an open party trip? Also would my Okuma SCTi"s hold up down there? Once again another sick trip Ray!!! Nice job!
Thanks Sean, much appreciated! Call longfin tackle to find out what availability they have! Most booking goes through Longfin. And about your SCTi, possibly. Which model did you get?
I don't understand others keeping their line in the water when you are coming down the rail!! I always bring mine out and go to the other side.. Getting snagged is only going to screw you and keep me from fishing anyway!!
I was as much at fault as the others around me. It is always important to be mindful of those hooked up to a fish so you can let them pass by you easily. With that being said, i definitely let my pride take over this night and wouldn’t give up the rod when I was tired, which made it so I couldn’t clear other lines as easily.
So mono does float to an extent. When it comes to monofilament, with 0 resistance on the line, yes it will float. But after any weight is added to mono, it will sink fairly easily. Braid however, will go down for a little bit while fly lining, but after a decent amount of line is out, it will start to rise to the surface. Which I think is due to the amount of drag it has in the water because of the texture of the line and how it swells up a little bit when it’s wet
Hey ray I’m the kid from the pcs show I was wondering what 100lb braid you would use for night fishing for bluefin. I got a pen squall 30 for night bluefin
When it comes to brain, everyone has their own personal preference. Some people like hollow core, some like very thick and wirey, and some like silky smooth, or extra thin. I can’t remember what brand I got for for my 100# set up, but I will say, you should go to your local tackle shop and see what feels best to you! With the night time bluefin jigging, it puts a lot of pressure with thick line against your thumb, so it’s super important you’re using something that’s comfortable for you
@@Dirty.Hookers Thank you so much ray I appreciate your help I really couldn’t decide but now I will and I hope I will catch a tuna on my 2.5 day coming up. Much Love Ray🙏🏾
I will be putting together a tackle talk soon going over all the gear and tackle I use. But the set ups I have been using on these trips are Daiwa Lexa 400TW and HD, paired with Phenix Titan Long Fall 710 ML and MH rods. Really really great jerk bait rods believe it or not!
SO MUCH MORE! There are Thousands of species of fish that can be targeted and caught in the Sea of Cortez! Even at least 10 that will make features in these full length videos throughout this series, that I did not add in this video.
@@SouthwestKayakFishing Much appreciated thank you! I'm really looking forward myself, to putting together this full part series to share with everyone!
Flag cabrilla are one of my favorite fish ever. I catch em on the shore in punta mita, just below puerta Vallarta. 2500 spinning setup and 20lb leader, and man they are literally spotties on cocaine . Using same spottie gear, 3” swimbaits

We are basically using heavy calico bass rods. I will try to put together a tackle talk soon, breaking down all of the gear, lures, and terminal tackle I bring on a trip like this.
