gpd4 0 Report post Posted May 19, 2011 I've never caught one from shore - always WAY off shore while looking for billfish. The guide I use (bluewater, not fly fishing) keeps heavy weighted wooden plugs for tuna. We've caught some big ones on squid patterns (trolling, not casting) and baitfish - bonito and ballyhoo. Keep it simple though and tie up clousers & decievers with different sink rates and different size hooks. Chartreuse & white from 2-2/0 should keep your rod bent.
