Tips & Tricks
The Search
Our most effective sail fishing is done around the Alphonse group on dedicated Bluewater boats. Guides trawl hookless teasers between 80 and 150 meters of water.
Tides
Unlike the flat’s species, tides have very little influence on when to target sailfish. The change over or moving tides can sometimes be best, due to concentration of bait.
Tackle
Eleven and 12 weight fly rods paired with equivalent reels are used. The reel should be loaded with 300 yards of 80 lbs braid and a floating tropical fly line with 80lb core.
Sailfish Flies
Tandem Tube Fly
A Tandem Tube Fly not bigger than 20 cm in length with lots of flash will work great. These flies work well because, like most others, they appeal to a fish’s carnal instinct, causing it not to think twice and eat. Flies that have a lot of flash seem to work well with enticing these fish.
Not Your Average Popper
This popper is tied on an 8/0 Gamakatsu hook and resembles most baitfish, but most importantly makes some noise when stripped through the water. Hook quality has a lot to do with the fly chosen for this job, as tuna fish are very quick to bend out or break poor-quality designs.
Black Brush Fly
The black brush fly is quite easily one of the most successful GT flies and has probably tricked more GT’s than any other fly. The addition of colour can also work well with combinations of purple, red and olive all proving to be very effective additions. Keith often gets asked “What fly works the best for geets?” and more often than not he’ll point to one of these
