Tackle Tip Thursday Vol. 233 (Drop-shot Rig)
Happy Tackle Tip Thursday!
Steve Carson, pro-staffer with Penn Fishing, showcases a good outfit to have and a technique to become familiar with before targeting bigger-size bluefin tuna.
This requires an angler to select and use an outfit with heavy line, and a circle hook and sinker to reach fish when at depth and when live bait is working best.
Thank you to Steve for his time and experience in all things having to do with saltwater angling and Penn Fishing Tackle!

Tackle Tip Thursday Vol. 232 (Surgeon’s Loop)
Happy Tackle Tip Thursday!
Steve Carson, pro-staffer with Penn Fishing, illustrates the important Surgeon’s Loop. It’s a heavy-line loop that can connect to the appropriate knot or hook, depending on the fishing conditions. This set-up is used when targeting the larger size yellowtail on 7-8 day trips such as those offered in the fall months aboard Searcher. Book your spot and get in some practice time with the Surgeon’s Loop! Thank you to Steve for providing another helpful video in this yellowtail series.

Tackle Tip Thursday Vol. 231 (Sliding Sinker for Yellowtail)
Happy Tackle Tip Thursday!
Steve Carson, pro-staffer with Penn Fishing, describes the perfect outfit when the 12-25# yellowtail are biting. It’s a 30# live-bait rig using the sliding sinker set-up, like on this Penn Fathom 15, 2-speed on a 8-foot rod. Yellowtail are the perfect target fish on a short or long trip out of San Diego! Make sure you are prepared on any trip you take when live bait are available.
