I am hoping to catch some warm water this summer (july/Aug/Sept) in the area of Cholera Bank, 17 Fathoms & BA Bouy. Last year I hooked up with a number of Skipjack Tuna in 17 fathoms area. I also have had success with False Albies. I have heard reports of Mahi at and near the Buoy and pots but have never scored. Have also heard stories of Bluefin Tuna in this area.
My success has been on Mexican Flag colored Tuna Clones coupled with home made squid teasers. Also clark spoons off of planers. Trolling speed of about 6.5 knts.
I am hoping to score on the Mahi/Bluefin this year. I would like to start a discussion to cover this area and possibly down to the Mud Hole Wreck.
I have been told to creep up on the BA when the water is warm and cast a bucktail with squid strips for Mahi.
Have you had luck in this area ?
How do you rig up?
Regards
