Jigging for King Fish Jacks and Albacore Tuna

• 1). Drive your vessel to an ocean location that has a deep-water reef and a robust current. Ocean reefs will harbor kingfish, jacks and albacore tuna. Use a fish-finder to find pockets of bait fish. Start assembling your tackle, platform as well as bait.
  
  If you are not familiar with saltwater fishing, hire a charter vessel company for an evening or a few hours. The charter vessel company will provide almost all essential tackle as well as equipment needed to get any fish. In addition, charter boat captains make use of advanced sonar-based fish-finder and migration routes to find kingfish and albacore tuna. Boat captains can assist first-time anglers within the appropriate choice of tackle, bait as well as obtaining strategies.
  
  
• 2). Drop anchor near a reef. Usually, ship captains position their vessels in the middle of a reef allowing the boat to float along the robust current. This action permits fishermen to drift their bait within the moving current.
  
  
• 3). Choose a stout and versatile deep-sea fishing rod that is 10 feet or more in length. Make sure that it has a strong bait cast reel. It is vital to select strong fishing line, as kingfish jacks and albacore tuna have the ability snap your line when attempting to flee. Consider using a 20-lb. test line or heavier to match the sheer weight of these fish.
  
  
• 4). Fasten a 24-inch steel leader to your fishing line. Using a metal leader is necessary, due to the fact that these large fish have well-defined teeth that can easily slice through the line.
  
  
• 5). Connect a 1-oz. buck-tail hair jig to the lengthy 2-foot leader. Kingfish, jacks and albacore tuna are attracted to white lures, which resemble sardines or little bait. Yellow lures work effectively in gloomy water and white-haired lures work well within clear water.
  
  
• 6). Drop or cast the jig and let it descend toward the ocean bottom. Dangle the jig, while bobbing it up as well as down in the attempt to lure a fish into striking. At times, allow the jig to drop for half a second, before lifting the jig upward. Be on the ready for the savage assault that will occur when a kingfish, jack or albacore tuna strikes your line. Within an instant, your rod will bend 90-degrees straight down.
  
  
• 7). Lift upward to insert the hook deep within a fish's mouth. These fish can swim with 40 pounds or more of weight attached to it. Give kingfish, jacks and albacore tuna, a lot of line to flee. While utilizing the reels drag, let the fish run. Eventually, the tense on the drag will tire out the fish.
  
  
• 8). Drag the tuna onto your boat when it's exhausted. Work with a long metal gaff to hook the gills or the sides of the fish in order to wrestle the fish into the vessel.
