Small blackfin tuna for bait?

BellyUp · 04-11-2004, 07:27 PM

Has anyone used a small BFT for bait? Is it any better than squid? Would they be too lively and tangle your lines? Sorry so many questions, some that may sound obvious, but I am learning as I go. Lots of BFT where I am going.

It doesn't hurt to try. The swordfish feed on what is in the area. Who knows you may wind up hooking a monster sword, if not maybe a nice mako. I know some people that have used small dead bonita and hooked up on swordies, good luck.

Thanks. There are also live squid on the surface and it is not uncommon to find Makos in the area, at least in Feb and March.
