TUTORIAL DRIFTING ai TONNI ALLETTERATI 4K

Welcome to a new episode of Strike Zone. Today, we'll focus on fishing for alletterati (young tunas). Our equipment consists of 30 lb rods and reels, as we will be fishing at depths of around 125 meters. Recent observations have shown a strong presence of alletterati in these waters. We'll be using a combination of equipment suitable for both alletterati and other potential catches.

Our setup includes:

• Line: 0.52 mm on the reel connected to a 0.57 mm fluorocarbon terminal.
• Hooks: Size 50-60, suitable for small baits.
• Bait: We plan to use a variety of baits to maximize our chances of a successful catch.

We'll also have three rods with similar specifications to ensure our flexibility during the fishing trip. Preparation is key, and we'll start by laying down some groundbait at shallower depths (20-30 meters), where fish are currently active.

Upon arrival at our fishing spot, we will anchor the boat and begin our day. It's vital to keep the groundbaiting consistent to attract and keep fish around our location. Our depth sounder has indicated a thermocline at 40 meters, which will be our initial target depth. If necessary, we will adjust based on fish activity.

Fishing Tackle Preparation

Fluorocarbon Line and Hooks

We use 0.60 mm fluorocarbon line, which is highly resistant to abrasion and almost invisible underwater. The best knot for this setup is the PR Knot, which maintains the breaking load's full strength. Here's how to tie it:

1. Attach the Line: Loop the line through the hook eye and back into a small green tube (available at all fishing stores).
2. Secure the Knot: Create multiple half hitches and tighten them well, ensuring a secure fit.
3. Trim Excess: Cut off any excess line flush with the knot.

Starting the Fishing

We begin by lowering our bait to the desired depths:

1. First Rod: Set at approximately 40 meters with a small elastic stop and a balloon for visibility.
2. Second Rod: Baited with a single sardine and lowered to around 25 meters.
3. Third Rod: Using a small piece of fish bait, lowered to around 20 meters.

Fishing Dynamics

Fishing for alletterati is demanding and dynamic. Throughout the day, you'll constantly adjust depths, change baits, and monitor your rods. It's not idly waiting but an active participation to ensure success.

The Strikes

During our session, we experienced several strikes:

1. Immediate Action: The first bite came as soon as we lowered the second rod. It resulted in the catch and release of a large alletterato.
2. Subsequent Efforts: Further bites required precise handling, and we faced challenges like the fish tangling in the anchor line. This situation highlights the importance of using abrasion-resistant fluorocarbon line.
3. End of Groundbait: Even after the groundbaiting phase ended, we had an additional strike. Persistence paid off, although the last session was particularly exhausting.

Conclusion

In the end, despite some challenges, we successfully caught two alletterati and missed one. This tutorial aimed to share a comprehensive approach to drift fishing for alletterati.

FAQ

Q1: What type of fishing equipment is recommended for alletterati? A1: We recommend using 30 lb rods and reels with 0.52 mm line connected to a 0.57 mm fluorocarbon terminal, and size 50-60 hooks.

Q2: How deep should I fish for alletterati? A2: Recent data suggests targeting depths between 20-30 meters, but we also fished around the thermocline at 40 meters.

Q3: What is the best knot for fluorocarbon lines? A3: The PR Knot is highly recommended as it retains the full strength of the fluorocarbon line.

Q4: What type of bait should I use? A4: Single sardines and small pieces of fish bait are effective. Groundbaiting with pilchards also helps attract the fish.

Q5: How often should I check my bait? A5: Regular checks are crucial, especially after strikes. A damaged bait is ineffective, so inspect often to ensure it's in good condition.

Q6: What do I do if my line gets tangled in the anchor? A6: Carefully try to remove the line from the obstruction. Using abrasion-resistant fluorocarbon can minimize damage during such incidents.

Q7: Is drifting important in this style of fishing? A7: Yes, drifting helps cover a larger area and keeps your bait moving, which is attractive to fish. Adjust your rods and baiting techniques accordingly.
