Hi Jon.
Had that problem a couple fo times.
Sometimes downsizing worked  and at others it did not.
Two things I found that greatly impacted the fishing was as follows.
1.Moonrise. If the time is very close( a couple of days before and after) the full moon once the moon comes up the Tuna tend to switch right off.
2.At others it has tended to be getting into what we call "the biting school".
In the same area but a couple of miles apart one school will nail most lures but the next is just a lot more difficult if not downright impossible.

The plan is to try again early next week  and  that means taking a day off work , so let's see .

Hi Jon,

Awaiting news of your catch....how big were the tuna? and have any of the fundamentals changed regarding what lures they are taking??

Tnx
Andy

Hi Andy ,

Due to Monday , there weren't too many " competitors " and the fish in general are still of the same size but we did caught a few slightly fish than the trip we did with Ky n Satish .

A few multiple strikes and a lot more line breaks but managed to top the number to 28 fishes , a couple unstoppable due to a couple of guys were trying to be funny bringing 20 lbs. outfit , one took 45 minutes to land a 15 kg YFT n you can ask Adrianus ( the funny man ) who caused us missing precious minutes and did not succeed in finishing the task either . >:(

We use slighly bigger / heavier lures this time and the YFTs still refuse to strike surface popper , definitely bigger species are around as I had my 60 gr. Duel Aile Metal jig returned with 3 dimensional bent after a violent strike . ???

Lost a few jigs due to hooking the whale sharks , we just hold the spool and break the line when this happened , still a few of them on each boil of tunas and must be carefull not to hook them .

Jon .
