Default Re: ballyhoo or Mahi bait

They're garbage disposals. They'll eat most baits if you're casting to them. Squid, mackerel, bunker, mullet, washed out Bally chunks, tuna skins, spearing, and killies. Don't go nuts. Fluoro leader around 20-30 lb test and a small hook buried in the chunk. Keep the first in the water behind the boat. It'll draw more in. Don't shy away from dropping a whole hoo down with an egg sinker past the fish higher in the water column. Sometimes that bull or cow hangs down outta sight and can easily ingest a whole hoo.
