The last hour was most of the fish, it was slow for most of the day. Always just gotta try hard to figure out the bite. Figure out what the fish Wang and stick to it
Dear Mr, nice, video. Can you cast with a lever drag reel?Or do you only use it for jig? I buy recently a Penn Fathon 40 lever Drag, but not use yeat. Next year i return to Panamá and i will fishing tuna, i intend to catch a big tuna using the Penn, nowadays i fishing with jig in oil boat in Rio de Janeiro, i using Shimano saragossa and BGMQ 20K And Penn Slammer 7500 to cast popper, and jigging i large dept more than 120 yds a Tanacon 750. Last time i catch a tuna 40 kg almost 90 pouns with knife jig 300 grams at night.
I'd try a sinker slider rig heavier version of a carolina rig instead of a reverse dropper. Noticed I get better hook sets with the sliding line. More or less a stationary fly line
1/4 oz slider was doing okay for the fly lined baits. Think my dad tried a 2oz slider at one point, but didn’t get bit till fishing the reverse dropper loop
@@1dabawayfrombed I believe it, the counts have been driving me crazy. I just still don’t wanna drive 2 hours away for a half day. For me it just makes more sense to go the extra hour further and fish out of SD
Just tuned to your personal preference. I think I usually have my breaks set to 5 for casting lures, and put I put it to 0 for fly line. And the spool tension is just how fast or slow you want your free spool to be
I stopped using my tranx 500, just because I wasn’t getting a whole lot of use out of it. It was really nice for casting lighter lures for tuna, but I only do that so many times a year. I cast surface irons more that I do light poppers and small snipers, so it just made more sense for me to cut it from my arsenal. Traded it for a Trinidad 16a, because it holds the same line capacity
@@hoomiish probably 50# or 65#. I like to maximize my amount of line capacity, but still match the braid to the heaviest line I think I might fish on it that reel.
how do you like the 16a for surface iron over the 20a? I recently sold my 20a and got a 16a. I feel like the 16a more pleasant to fish with haven't tried it out yet though. Lmk thanks!
I personally really like the 16a for how much more narrow it is. I’m guilty of not stacking my line properly if I get follows lol. I’ll stop paying attention when I get excited, so not having to look down as much is what I like about it.
@@seansimmons7683 TW stands for T-Wing, which is a type of line guide/level wind. Allows the line to come off the spool more freely. As for distance wise, I’m not super sure you get much more distance out of it than the normal Lexa. But it’s a super small compact reel which I like! 400 size spool, compact into what seems like the same size reel as a 300
5:33 -- The instant the fish start biting the captain tells everyone to wind 'em up... typical 😂
It was pretty slow at that spot not gonna lie. That was 1 of like 3 fish hooked there. But I do know exactly what you mean lol
Happiest birthday DAD
Chef Eddie says thank you!
Slow day?!?! You've caught more fish on this one trip than I've caught out of Newport Landing over the last two years! 😂

Casting lever drags is a little more difficult, but can be done. Just takes a lot of practice and a really trained thumb

Brooks?

What size daiwa lexa reel where u using on the pheonix m1 inshore rod?
I was using a Lexa 400tw, but a 300 size reel would've been just fine.
Should have just went on a 1/2 day out of 22nd street. There’s tons of big sand bass and cuda on the flats
Been seeing that. Debating on going lately, just not sure I wanna drive that far for a half day
@@Dirty.Hookersu should go bro it’s like every cast wit small colts and hookupbaits

Finally got my lexa 400 with Phoenix m17.9 20 45lb do I have to do any adjustments on the numbers on the reel learning from you guys.

@@gabrieldelatrinidad5268 anytime! Always happy to help
Are you still using your tranx 500 or had you switched to the Trinidad? If so may I ask why?

On your Lexa do you add long mono topshot or you go with smaller leader? Thank you
For my bait casters, I do a full spool of braid to a short 4ft - 6ft leader of flouro carbon
@@Dirty.Hookers what's the lightest braid you will use for Lexa 400?

What size is that Lexa? Oh yes, Happy BDAy DAd.
Lexa 400 TW
Is that the Shimano Trinidad 20A ?
Trinidad 16a
Which reel is on the bass rod? Lexa 400?

DFG took out the Hali's sucks there's been good #s in the channels
What do you mean they took out halis? Like you can’t legally keep halibut anymore?
@@Dirty.Hookers August 4 halis are done
@@oceanlove9052 is that for pacific halibut or California halibut?
@@Dirty.Hookers pacific I believe
@@oceanlove9052 I’m pretty sure pacific halibut are the Alaskan type halibut. What we get here in Southern California are California Halibut
