When you don't have bait, what do you use?

When live bait isn't an option, how do the small boat fishermen (no outriggers) target tuna? Here are some options, but certainly not limited to.

Spreaderbars - with or without bird

green machines - with or without bird

Rapala/Yozuri deep divers

Trolling big rubber

run and gun



Saturday was very humbling, one pollock had a whole livewell to himself for the sloppy ride out only to be devoured by something other than a tuna. The only fish we saw was 3 miles off marshfield. A great whale show saved the day, hopefully that means bait is returning to the bank.
