Live Seminar - Florida Sport Fishing TV - Trolling Deep Diving Plugs Tackle Tips Technique

Great seminar! Can you fill in two blanks? What distance is “half the spool,” and if the shotgun is up top on a straight butt, and the two closest are on the corners on bent butts, where is the second farthest rod? Thanks again, and awesome seminar. These are the best

Capt Mike! Thanks for the seminar.
Would you mind giving the distance in yds of each line from the boat.
Really appreciate it!
Still trying to get the first one in the boat. I'm confident it's all going to come together between now and March. Our Wahoo season is just getting started over here in Venice, La

Capt Mike! Love your seminars! Question…when you throttle back after analyzing the situation, what speed would u recommend?

In the pacific, myself being Filipino. We have seen many 100+ lb wahoo especially in the Philippines, Tahiti, Cook Islands and Solomon Islands. Preferred method is to spearfish with a triple band gun and a float with a float line. The most challenging thing for bluewater spearfishing for wahoo and other pelagics in the pacific are the relentless sharks. That’s why we always dive with a team.

My wife and I live part time in Marathon and we started fishing there about three years ago. We did pretty well in December. What month would you say the wahoo start heading out to deeper water. Temp? Thanks for all your valuable information.

🤙Nice to see you back in the store Back in the stores and and I didn't see you in sitting in your garage or standing your garage doing it.i look up of chaos shop put it on table in pixels rod reel this !

Great job looks amazing 👏👏👏 proud to learn from the professor

I love that 1 person has a mask on, god love florida the covid capital

Mike I gust add you be good 👍

Straight to the point no nonsense info. Love the show

I wanted to say thank you! I followed this lesson including rigging, spread, speed, etc and landed my first ever wahoo solo yesterday out of Port Everglades. Thanks for the lesson!

Good one! Do you ever worry about falling out of your boat fishing by yourself?

Question.
On the WestCoast of Californian would this spread and Nomad lure combo work well for Blue Fin Tuna?

Fantastic information, thanks. However the different camera angles are awesome.

Thank you captian Mike,

What reels and rod do you use for Wahoo in this setup?, I'm looking to buy the Tiagras but dont know what size and what rod.
Thank you for the great information on all your videos.
Im a huge fan.

Hi Mike,
Just saw your wahoo video today. I’ve fished for wahoo for years off of Baja Mexico.
Your early bite is true when fishing inshore in the Cabo San Lucas area. But away from the resort areas fishing offshore like Alijos Rocks, the Ridge and Offshore island it’s an all day bite.
Over the past 40 years of chasing wahoo I’ve found that during dark of the moon the hoos will move into popular fishing grounds. Have you found the same in your area?

Thanks for this! I followed your instructions exactly and landed my first wahoo ever out of PE this morning

Thank you for making this video. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge and experience.

Amazing seminar Capt.! Would you mind sharing approx yardage for each lure?

Hey Mike! Love all your videos. Trying to replicate your setup but i am new to crimping. Am i correct that you are using single barrel aluminum sleeves? Also - can you suggest a crimper? Tight lines baby!

Capt Mike! Looking to setup some Tiagra 50W LRS with your rec’d braid and mono. Have you found how much of each it will hold?

Thanks Mike for the tip on the mono for the DTX Minnows. Picked up 6 wahoos today and 4 on the 220's and they only lost some paint. Still cant believe how much drag I need to put on even though I was only trolling 8 to 10 knots. We have a calcutta wahoo tournament in Bermuda in 1st week of October if you ever feel like heading our way. Lots of wahoos in the 60 to 80 pound range that time of year.

Captain Mike - Great video! I appreciate that all of your videos don't just show you catching fish but are geared to really teaching us how to do it. I am wondering if you would recommend chafe protectors at either the 220 to swivel or the 220 to lure connection. Seems like it wouldn't hurt, but I don't know.

Capt. Mike,

Thanks for the great info. I've looked all over for VMC 11/0 inline hooks and can't find them. Where can I get them?

Thanks in advance.

I pretty much did everything in this video but the two times I went out 2 of the 3 Nomad DTXs kept randomly coming out of the water. Granted it was rough out, 2-3' with 4 second periods. Have you had the same experience with them not tracking so well in rougher seas?

which ball bearing barrel swivel? You have another video that says a different size. And spro doesnt make a 175....at least i cant find it

Do you catch other fish on those nomad 220s

Should you use the thimbles for the crimps?

With these gas prices it's more of a Wahoo float. Let's Go Brandon!!
Not going to be doing much trolling until we get rid of the old senile troll in the White House.

Congratulations Mike. Great Seminar as usually. One note: Minute 48. How the 200 all the way back is shallow than the 165 (second bait) ? Should the 165 be the first bait and then the 200 the second one? Going deeper closest to the boat?

Captain Mike ! Wait till you get your hands on one of SaltaAmericas Magrunners. Saw it at ICAST a couple days ago. Pair that with their tail killer… man it’s going to be a zebra machine !

Capt. Thanks for making a lot of mistakes and research. Besides 2 feet or less. What about time of year? Any time of year versus only targeting during migration periods. Have you found the wahoo are available more than we know?

Mike those dtx are awesome. They swim great and entice hits, but the hooks are not very good. There is no barb and the hook comes out so easily as im sure you know. Also the hook up ratio isnt the greatest because the hook is only directly under the bait (inline). Please try to change the hooks on your dtx220 to a dual (twin hook) 9/0 vmc hooks, front and back. Im sure you know the hook i mean, its essentially two hooks in one with a gap between them. You will have a hook on either side of the bait and they wont bother the swimming action of that 220. Also the barb on the hook is much bigger and they stay glued once hooked. Give it a try, if you dont like it you can always put those barbless nomads back on.

Going to try this while down there I heard you say October September you had the streaks…. How’s the bite thanksgiving time are they still around? I’ll be 25 mins south of islamorada should i go north or south if so?

Does anyone know how far to set the shotgun bait ? I know it’s “half the spool” but I’m using 50ws he has 30s so it’s different…. And to get 100’ spacing for the spread it must be a known number

Nice

So you are pulling 10 knots on average with dtx's.

Mike
This was a great. Please explain why you use braid as a mainline for wahoo but for kings most people I have watched use mono for kings that can get quite large too. I thought mono acts like a shock absorber for the kings. Wahoo strike hard at very fast speeds so why is it not necessary to use mono mainline as a shock absorber? Does the 150 mono do that? What function do the line components serve? Can you please compare the two rigs between kings and wahoo? Is it still possible to catch wahoo when fishing for kings with 30 pound mono main lines and 60 pound leader?

Thanks in advance for your help. This seminar explained in more detail what your rod setup video showed. A big help.

can you tell me what type of crimp to use for the 220 leader material? Aluminum sleeves? Who makes the crimping toll you use? Thank you

Just getting into a little bit of trolling and this gave me plenty to think about. Thank you for the amazing information. Hoping this helps a lot over here in kauai

Thanks for the infos, tips. Can you explain how you mark your line at 100ft? You mentioned red mark?
As you mentioned, Charters out there Hillsboro inlet, will cut off lines on small boats!! Crazy. Captain license should be suspended. Sea is big enough.

Hey man some people want to skin you by your feet. I'm a huge fan of what you do. ✝️

Nomads are NOT the best lures. They are the most advertised and sponsored. Despite their so called patented ect ect, they simply just copied others’ designs. Every lure catches fish.

We've been getting a good bite off NJ usually starting in mid July. Last year I nailed a 52lber using my normal mahi/ school bluefin spread. This year I'm hoping they show up like they have been. I'm going to dedicate some time for these fish. The guys around here have started calling me Mr Wahoo 😂. I think cause I do it in a 16ft starcraft 😂😆😂. I try to tell people that having a spread in the water trolling about a half hour before 1st light is incredible. I usually leave the dock around 9pm and go look for live bait for pot hopping. I get on the grounds usually about 2am(20 plus miles). I shark bait set my alarm and take a nap. Alarm goes off and work begins. I'm usually 5 or 6 mahi in before any other boat shows up. These guys up here in Aug are horrible. They spook everything around the pots by 8am. Then I start covering water. That's how I got mine. It was literally 5 min before my fuel told me to leave. Persistence pays off. Gotta put time in

Only had 1 Wahoo I was really really lucky as it was 84 lbs ! Had not realised what a catch it was until I started watching these videos

Do you use the Vmc 8700 9/0 for every plug or only the big plugs?

Invaluable content! Thanks for what you do. What type/brand small profile crimp do you use?
