I got the tuna bug last year, too. So much fun. Boat with 9 fishing caught 80 and I reeled in 20 of those smile I'll definitely pack a couple swim baits in my bag when I go out in late August. Now what is the proper etiquette on a charter for throwing swimbaits? I imagine you head to the bow as all the bait wranglers are headed to the stern. The boat is usually turned after hooking up a fish on the troll, so do you throw to the inside of the turn? Also, Todd said braided line, but I heard braid is bad juju on charters as it can cut other lines. Thoughts?

Put my name ahead of Parker's--- look it's already been done. I would really like a tuna trip, and I don't get seasick.

Sorry about re-railing the thread, but found this on Ifish. Sums it up nicely.
