Just keep at it, it seems like your doing the right thing. I personally would change to an owner 6/0 circle hook, you cant miss a sail on those. I too bridle my baits with the small rubber bands and it works like a charm. Use 40pound florocarbon leader and you will be set. It can be frustrating, but its worth it.

We went out of Government cut last Saturday...got about 50 threads at Bug and headed out. As soon as we saw it was a South current everywhere we should have packed it in....South current sucks....for just about everything!! Caught 1 mutton, and did not even see a sign of sails...water was crappy green-blue way past Fowey.

even though the few bites ive had have been deep, the Kites are nice cause you can fish 4 more baits away from the boat. ive caught dolphin and kings on them so far so its all good. im sure when the sailfish bite is hot, the kite baits will prolly get crushed.

Ivan11 · 03-03-2007, 06:46 AM

well finally here they are, the super elusive species.

P33JP3 · 03-03-2007, 05:17 PM

great job Ivan! that's a nice looking Sail. I'm still trying to get mine but got a nice bull Dolphin instead. since your hard work has paid off I guess I'll keep trying. mine is still out there waiting. again, great catch and congrats!
