Smile Yft beat down. NatGeo type stuff

Was out this past Monday on a NS boat as part of a 3 day offshore trip and had an epic beatdown on the yft at the spot everyone is getting them at. We were one of only 4 boats out that day in the area and had sight casting to yft in our chum. As soon as your line hit the water you had a 60-70# yft on within seconds. We fished it for 2.5 hrs and limited out and gave up looking for bigeye swords and tile the rest of the trip. Never seen so many yft in the slick before with the skippies. Ever. It was truly insane.

Get out now it if you want tuna.

Nice trip John some crazy reports lately. If people continue to go to the same spot and feed them chunks every day, these fish will probably stick around for some time.

They are on sand eels. The amount of life there is crazy. They will hit jigs until you queue them into your chum baits. Then they shut off on jigs.

If they're on sand eels and they shut off on jigs, try a ronz or hogy harness jig. They're deadly...
