Default Re: NJF Tuna Trip quick report:

I used a 7 oz stright silver jig with a size 10/0 owner hooks. Whatever jig you use, be sure you hand sharpen or better yet replace the hooks. I didn't get any spit outs the entire night and landed 4 YFT.

I will never ever use a diamond jig of the rack with the existing hooks - they are not sharp enough in my opinion. I just throw those hooks in the trash.

Obviously I am in agreement with Tin Squid, Ray Rod, Duffman, Andy and the others that attribute part of our success to holding the school under the boat. I counted 6-10 guys jigging at any given time. Usually on boats - the mates and 1 or 2 others are jigging and that is it.

Once again - great job to the mates and capt.

See you at the Christmas party!
