Bluefish Hooks

[SaltyBuckster]

After seeing the hooks that you have to buy to catch these little devils,I decided to make my own.When you get on the boat they are $1.25 a hook.I think that we can do a little better then that.I used my Twist Tech to attach the swivel on top and then a 5/0 hook on the bottom.Anyybody know where to get some thinner wire to twist them up with,Cheap?

Piano wire , Guitar strings . Not kidding either I've used it. But then nobody ever accused me of being conventional.

Them leaders would work out great if there was a split ring holding the hook to that lower loop on the leaders.Them bluefish will destroy a snap swivel with all the tugging and pulling that they do.

Yea, a 25' Sea Hawk party boat,lol.

First trip is in two weeks.Not this weekend but,next.Then almost every weekend after that.Depending on how many guys want to go.

 

[SaltyBuckster]

I'm in for that.If you get seasick we stay out anyway,lol.

I went out on a 3 day trip out of San Diego a few years back and the boss took out about 10 automobile Insurance agents with us on the trip,lol.What a blast it was to watch them.They thought that drinking would cure them,Ha Ha.

 

[SaltyBuckster]

I did,lol.They did'nt.We still ended up with 81 albacore and a couple of yellowtail.I even got a giant squid at night fishing with one of the deck hands.lol.

The body of it was probably 4' long and about a foot across.The legs,now that was a differant story.Don't know the overall length.
