Swivelhead Report post Posted July 23, 2020 Was in Jamaica a couple weeks ago for a wedding (not my own). Snuck away for a day of fishing. Water looked really good but it turned out to be an expensive boat ride. Absolutely no life in that water, no birds, bait, dolphins or whales. Drug the spread past many large sargassum patches that you dream of finding with nothing home. Fished with rigged ballyhoo, feathers, kona heads. Crew worked hard changing baits but you cannot catch what is not there. Still a good day on the water. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PRDATR Report post Posted July 23, 2020 I ALWAYS hook up a fishing trip everywhere I go even if it is just a half day. I've fished some pretty cool places and at 67 I plan on fishing a bunch more. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Weed is not an issue in Jamaica, legal to posess up to 5 ounces according to what we were told. I did not partake however. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heat Report post Posted July 23, 2020 Alberto Knot. FG is stronger I guess but I can barely get it right sitting on my couch at home, on a rocking boat in a hot bite I'm not doing it. I can confidently tie the Alberto so that's what I'm doing. Goes through the eyes OK, not as small as FG. Mono to flouro I do a double uni. Albeto is smaller than Uni/Uni.

I was using Alberto. You could always use a longer top shot so you don’t have to cast the knot through the guides Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
