What he said!
Don't leave the dock without ballyhoo!!
You will be surprised how close to the boat they hit, also pick up a couple of green tuna feathers and bring a handful of cedar plugs and troll them right in tight to the boat...right on the edge of the wash. The simple green and back feather was taking some decent fish. Also they will pick up skipjack which then can be bridled and live trolled (for marlin) or used for chunk bait at night.
The spreader bars in the first or second wave. Watch for the massive explosive hits 30' behind the boat.
scatter the ballyhoo in the spread. Without question this works almost all the time out there. Also I like those small splash bars (with the built in bird) on the tip of the outriggers way out there all alone, sometimes those hammer the fish.
Mix it up, you will find what works, keep your radio on, there are usually boats out there chatting it up and finding what is working for others and where is usually pretty easy. It's a big ocean. find the temp breaks and fish the edges.
pick your good weather days, it can be a looooong uncomfortable ride home if it is blowin hard. If it is flat you'll have a blast.
