Wow, great presentation. I'm just learning the ropes of fishing down in the Sea of Cortez. I've been a lake and stream fisherman all my life. I bought myself a Mako 171 and I'm loving it. You filled in a lot of information I needed. The water down here has almost reached the temp's for the Dorado (Mahi) to show up but till then trolling for big Cabrilla and Grouper on the points is always productive. Side Note: Today we saw a flock of birds diving on bait with fish slashing through the school. as we were gunning it back to shore after a dismal morning fishing in the fog. We both looked at each other and got rods in the water. We both hooked up to 30+ lb Jack Crevalle. Took over 1/2 an hour to get just one fish finally in the boat, the other got off. Turned a nothing morning into a great day of fishing.
I just got back from a trip in the Caribbean, and despite never having done any proper offshore trolling, thanks to all of your videos I was prepared. I took your lessons to heart, that fishing is all about being prepared, about controlling the things you can control. I basically came from knowing nothing to knowing how to troll a whole spread, including deep diving lures, with proper crimped connections, Mahi topwater chuggers and jets, and so forth. Basically everything I know, I know thanks to you, and you made this trip a success. Thank you sir, for all the hard work you put into teaching. Please never stop.
You do a great job, Mike! Keep up the detail and why you do things as that helps me start to understand how make the right decisions on the water. All the Best!
There is a lot of fishing shows in the world , but I only watch a few, this guy is one of the only shows I stop and watch every time he pops up in the feed, I’ve been watching this show since it was on the fishing channel back in the early 2000s, him ,mark sosin ,and norm issacs this guy actually turned me on to using momoi fishing line and flourocarbon leaders which I’ve been using for years and out fishing guys who wouldn’t adapt , ahead of his time straight to the point and no bs this guy is a true fisherman, I wish I could see him do a show out here in Hawaii on the Oahu island
One more comment. I have constantly caught 30+ pound Blackfin Tuna up here on the FL Panhandle with both 200s and 220s rigged for Wahoo. It’s become a great bi-catch for when the Wahoo aren’t cooperating. Trolling at 8-10 knots.
Great job and very informative as usual Mike, look forward to seeing the new shows in the future, I had my nomads rigged with cable and didn’t do well , I was afraid of loosing the expensive plugs, then switched over to 250 clear leader catching more and only lost one plug.

Hi Mike I’m heading down to marathon in January Never been fishing in January in all the years we have fished in keys. Usually go in June-July. We were thinking of trolling 10knts for Wahoo on reefs edge with deep diving plugs and other lures - maybe some yellow tail on reef and BF on hump trolling and jigs if weather allows? Thanks for all the help.

Good evening, what braided line is necessary to correctly use the DTX 220, and go down 50 feet. And how far from the boat do you have to put it to reach this depth? I am going to try these lures in Spain in spring when different pelagics approach our coasts.
0.55-0.60mm of PE braided line would be correct to knot to the 1.20mm fluorocarbon line of the DTX220. I would like to know more or less distances for the Grouper in 10-20-30 feet. and for amberyack!!
In Spain trolling is done very differently, but I want to try these lures because I already have some to start with. Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience, greetings, you are invited to my fishing trip in Spain

Another question is have you tried dragging mullet for wahoo?
Split tail mullet pulled off planers or trolling leads are excellent wahoo baits.

hey cap did you ever have the mono burn thru where it is connected to the lure from the swimming motion of the lure?
