We have BFT off of Oregon but  we are clueless as to how to catch them consistently.  Any help from the east coast would be appreciated.

#1 Where to target them, temperature and water color breaker, rips and in what temperature range.

#2 What to drag around, how far back and speed range.
Hi, my name is Lee and I have a fishing gear problem.

I have all of the answers, yup, no, maybe.

My guess is a MadMac about 150-200 yrds back....

That is one of the things planned.

Lee, they are a winter fishery in NC / Va so water 50-55. We get them within a mile or two off the beach on occasion.

Used to be a big chunking thing but that has subsided a bit. SLow trolling live bait around birds, whales and bait pods is a go. Cob mullet, bluefish (not for you guys) and bunker (large menhaden) on circle hooks with fluoro.

Artificals: horse ballyhoo under Islander (blue and white gets the nod), JAG jigs in white, blue/white or pink with flash, 3 oz and 6 oz.

Ted texted me you had a question. My buddy coincidentlaly texted me an hour ago where he won a tourney for largest BFT recently; I believe on JAG.
