You know i've always been a big fan of the Zest and Smith jigs, they seem to have the best action and give off a great flutter going down and when ripping up through the water and they always perform when things are a bit slow out there... There pricey but worth it! Let us know how you went with the fin mate ;) We'll have to get out there soon and do some filming and underwater filming with Jeffro.

Hi ksong.
if you in south africa you let me know and i will take you fishing for yellowfin best time is november to april with march being the safer option as nov-jan the wind blows 35+ knots just about every darn day if you can plan a 2 week trip and we should get a few days in .
cheers mark

Hi Sami
we catch our yellows behind stern trawlers and longliners on bait . when we jig for them its the fish under the chumline that eat the jigs, the fish in the chumline are more keyed into chunks than jigs, although they do nail floating stickbaits cast back in the chumline.had good success with hooker ,jigging master ,fisherman jigs and orion stickbaits, lost the last one to a 80+kg fish next to the boat though .river 2 sea make a shin penn "stickbait "works great in the glitter green .dont think the leader size is a issue as my buddy caught a 50kg on a apple core so go figure .use a blue rose rod stella 20000 ans 50/80lb braid
cheers

Mark, thanks for the invite.  I am leaving for Taveuni, Fiji for GT popping tomorrow. I'll send an e-mail when I come back from the trip.

I am just a mess!!
2 Swords on jigs IN ONE NIGHT....by a lotto ticket man!!!
The yellowfin are exceptional fish for casting/jigging tackle...

So small 200-250gram jigs with TAIL hooks work best???
Only asking since some of the spool jobs I have seen up at Fraser Island when a free-falling jig has been nailed have run 400+ metres mid water (50-60m down) and just kept trucking.
Some were doggies since they went into reef though I reckon the only other thing they could be is 70+kg yellowfin....I want one!!
Makes chucking poppers at longtail tuna seem a tad lame  :(
