My upcoming 3 day setups

[pjstevko]

So I'm on the PQ in just over a week for their first trip of the season, it's a 3 day and I'm assuming we'll be chasing bft. I'll be bringing the following setups

Fathom 15lxnd2/pch801h = 25/30# bait
Mak10/UC Monster = 40# bait
Mak 15t/UC GP Predator = 50/60# bait, snipers, sinker rig
Fathom 40nld2/pch741xxh = 80# daytime jigs, sinker rig
Mak16/pch741xxxh = 100# knife jigs, eddie bombs
Mak20/UC viper = 100# knife jigs, eddie bombs
Fathom 25nld2/TR Elevate = spj for yellowtail and small tuna

Not sure if I'll bring my jig stick......Gold Trini16/90J = surface irons

Hopefully the weather stabilizes and the fleet finds the fish next weekend to provide us some great info before we depart Tuesday morning....

Looks like a little bit of weather forecasted going into the weekend, but looking OK after that.  The boats that are getting into the Bluefin seem to be doing pretty good. - john

You have all the bases covered PJ.  This early in the season you never know what's in store.  Bill

Thanks for giving us a look at your setups. I also revisited Jon Vadney's post about different setups for different length trips. These are immensely insightful

Pictures would great PJ, but not of course, required.

And I am sure that with PJ, some of those fine AT Stickers that he produced may find placement in his travels. -john

I'm paying close attention to anything deep ocean jigging related, but don't wanna rush out and buy equipment until I can make it work(even once)with just the terminal stuff.

Compared to other kayak fishermen, I suck at finding and catching baitfish, the best of which are the Opelu(Big Eye Scad). This is the best way to get bit here. But Jigging will work too. I see it in Hawaii Kayak fishing oriented videos, but never see guys where I fish doing it.

Slow pitch and vertical jigging; there's more to it than meets the eye.
