![]() While all this may seem frivilous on a public level.there are deep and dire truths to be contemplated behind the mechanics of guerilla fishing.namely, the sneak attack from above.and when it comes to yellowfin tuna fishing nothing.and i do mean NOTHING.will pull the wool over their penetrating eyes more so than the deployment of a kite or hellium balloon. In guerilla warfare the element of surprise is of obvious key importance and history offers much to the angler or captain with a penchant for Mao Tse-Tung, Vo Nguyen Giap, or Ernesto Che Guevara and an eye for tactical advantage.Ī-HA!!! i would often bellow as some yet undiscovered tactical maneuvor became clear as time and reasearch bore on.VIVO GUEVARA!!! The rules of engagement were about to change.and chivalry, as it were, was about to be flushed out the scuppers.the days of proper civilized confrontation upon an open battle field were was time to get guerilla on these bastards. Well i went through a period of that.doing things the old fashioned way.with less-than-limited success.for even tunas get stupid sometimes and yes, an old blind dog will find a porkchop if given enough of a headstart.but i knew the current system wasn't jiving.and i got tired of saying "yeah.but they just ain't biting today" over the airwaves. ![]() ![]() "THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENNING!!!!"īut yes.it was.thousands of massive fish around the boat.flying through the air.boiling and frothing on all sides.CON SONAR.SHITSTORM ALL QUADRANTS.and not one buckled rod or screaming drag to show for it. "OH GOD!!!" i would often scream, fingernail clippings flying from my lips. I could tell stories for days about my first few years down here in Puerto Vallarta.surrounded by such aforementioned madness.laying it bare day after day with what were my best tricks at the time and calmly accepting my inadequacy at first.before eventually succombing to chronic near-fatal nail biting and an occassional tantrum laden blowout. The correct answer to that would be."more times than we'd like to admit." How many times have we all been in the throes of crashing, foaming madness.pitching every conceivable live, dead, chunked or skipping bait cocktail we can imagine.yet somehow fail to seduce a bite from the hordes of obviously hungry fish around the boat.? There is likely no other fish that has frustrated anglers on more levels than yellowfin tuna.born with overly refined pallates and graduate degrees in evasive maneuvors.i've yet to cross another specie of fish that.while often displaying violent aggresiveness during feeding.maintains such a forensic approach to nearly all offerings.
