nah didn't jump but pulled hard, they go nuts when they get in the boat. yeh mike we work but if the suns still up when i get home i usually put the tinny in. It's too easy were pretty spoilt.
two hours is doing about 25-28 kt's and i don't think any fish swims fast enough to hit our lures at that speed!!
And most fishing boats only hit about 35-40kt's, the only boat i have been in that does 100k's was a 6.8m cyclone speed boat with a 275hp virado. and i can tell you thats bloody quick on water!
yeh was going to say about 25knt (ish), and i think the fastest trolling lure would only get up to about 15-16kn max! Black Bart Rum Cay Candy is only pusher that i know would travel those speeds...no diver lure would have any hope!
You can run chrome heads at 15-16knots and will get wahoo and dolphinfish, probably spaniards too. Your hookup rate would probably be severly diminished by the drag setting as to not loose your rod and the back half of the boat on strike.
Let us know how you fare tomorrow boys. Sounds like its going to be a good mission.

You can run chrome heads at 15-16knots and will get wahoo and dolphinfish, probably spaniards too. Your hookup rate would probably be severly diminished by the drag setting as to not loose your rod and the back half of the boat on strike.
