The Grande is on the hunt for big bluefin right now!
No- it’s not always going to be limits fishing. This is your chance at the trophy bluefin you’ll be telling fishing stories about for years to come.
Grande Sportfishing landed 4 bluefin today between 60- 100+ pounds!
Here’s Captain James McDaniels tackle recommendations
1. Yellowtail/small bluefin: A flyline setup with good fresh 30lb monofilament matched with equal test flurocarbon and 1/0 to 2/0 Gamakatsu nautilus or Owner mutu circle hooks.
2. Medium size bluefin: A 40-50lb outfit with matching flurocarbon for sinker rig fishing using 4-6 ounce torpedo sinkers and heavy duty rubber bands. This rig is also great for 80-120 gram Daiwa Zakana jigs and Shimano colt snipers.
3. Big Bluefin: 60-80lb outfit with a two speed reel to fish the sinker rig and 180-250 gram knife jigs.
Departing seven days a week at 5:30am, check-in begins at 4:45am.
Passports NOT required. Mexican fishing license included. Return times may be later than posted. Bunks are available and free of charge, please provide your own bedding if needed.
