Right, we have the Gotti's here in Tampa, The Government, the Mafia and the Church will never go broke in Italy... Its all a big ruckus, the Mafia owns the government, the government owns the church in Italy. The FBI has been raiding "Gotti's" propriety in Tampa. If you ask me there's no Mafia, those organizations only exist in the "movies"...

I guesss they shut it down, can't access it.

the ticket is to have the chum frozen all the way to your spot, frozen chum will last a good 2 hours and with menaden oil is enough to atrack the pelagics around...

Another way to get Blackfin is to put out a fair amount of chum. Give it a bit and the Blackfin, if they around they will show up, I will never look out for shrimpers in order to get Blackfin. I use drift lines with small live pinfish while I'm digging for grouper. Its a blast, you're digging for grouper and all of a sudden one of the rods in the rod holder goes off...

Boaters wold has TLD 25 for 99 doll and Penn 114 for 70's, everthing is on clearance.

when people where catching Blackfin tuna in FL only next to shrimp boats or at night with generator, I was the one that taught about trolling for blackfin during the day. I tried with Manns and finally figure out how to do it... put the plug 200/300 feet away from the boat ans slow troll it (as further away from the boat, better it gets). I have gotten good results. I go grouper digging (around 30 miles out), after I catch my limit, I troll Manns plug's and 90 percent of the time I get hits on them... I was a bit surprised since the 30's and 40's are huge and at first never taugh a fish will hit it in the Gulf of mexico (Tampa area). Bigger is better... I notice the bigger plugs normally track better.

I love Strech 30's and 40's. I caught kings, blackfin tuna and plenty of bonito on them. my favorite colour was the "firetiger", I lost both over a down boat. They dont carry that colour anylonger. I've been lucky on the mahi colour for the blackfin. I troll them at 1000/1200 rpm, 200 feet away from the boat, the ticket to catch blackfin is to have your lures way back... I caught a couple on a mann's 40. I have a couple of different colours, purple/black, red/white, etc. the mahi colour is the best since they no longer carry the firetiger. I still have a strech firetiger 25, that is my prized lure...

its all good, I was suspicious... it had a RU extension.... "the Russians are coming"... normally I don't open anything with .RU.

Apart from the pics on this site, I only have pictures from my 21 HYDRA.

thats, very nice, I'm using the first pic as background on my laptop.
