Jigging in Islamorada

mlutz95 · 11-24-2007, 12:47 PM

I am going to Islamorada this month and was wondering what is the best way to jig? I am planning on getting a Penn torque with a offshore extreme freestyle jigging rod. Also are there yellowfin tuna around Islamorada in the winter? I know theres blackfin but I havent really heard of yellowfin.

Plenty of blackfin, but seldom a yellowfin. You have to cross to cay sal bank this time of the year. I have caught them there up to 90 lbs..But be careful, its not legal as your in bahamas waters...
