School of 10-12 very large

Sat, 2022-01-29 21:04

School of 10-12 very large dollies at rfw5 last week, very flighty even with the live baits, managed 2 bites but pulled hook on both fish. Very frustrating having the school swim laps of the boat for an hour and a half.

Consolation was coming across a school of yellowfin tuna while travelling between 2 fads

 Was at Complete Angler fad on Saturday. They would look at our live baits but wouldn't hit. Jumped in water and shot them.

 Are you guys using herring

 Are you guys using herring for livies? I've always thought yellowtail would make great livies but haven't found a spot to catch them.

Herring

davewillo , herring great live bait, Have never tried yellowtail, but I'm sure they wouldn't last too long out there, especially if the dollies are in the mood

 Sounds like I'll have to

 Sounds like I'll have to find where to catch yellowtail. I've used herring in the past but always thought yakkas would be great.

Always used herring because

Always used herring because by the time you find enough yellowtail in the metro area the Seabreeze is in lol.

I think even sand whiting would be a goer on those tougher days, more of an easy picking snack compared to a herring

 That's why I was thinking yellowtail Beau. Like little lollies! Sand whiting are a good idea and much easier to find.

 I've found the whiting don't

 I've found the whiting don't survive that well unless you can get them in very shallow water.
