Gotcha.

Why not just use live 'chovies at that point?

8 of us filled the Hula Girl with 160+ tuna last year and were done by 1:00 pm. We had to stop because the boat was at the waterline and couldn't hold any more fish without fear of sinking. All but a couple were caught on live baits. I got one on a Point Wilson Dart, which was pretty fun and a change of pace from the live bait action.

Going back again this year for more abuse. Easily, the most fun one can have on the ocean.
