We had an awsome day off shore Durban, the weather was fantastic. In the morning we got tuna trolling live mackerel slowly at about 3km.hr. In the afternoon we got 2 Dorado on light Bass tackle. The Dorado was extremely exciting as I am pushing the limits with drop shot and these Dorado were the 1st we got on drop shot and both were over 10kg.
I have been trying out drop shot off shore for all species and to get these Dorado on Bass rods with 10lb braid was the best fun I have had in a long time. These fish stripped our line out to about 300m, and the acrobatic display they gave us right at the boat was a sight to see.
The Strike King Pearl White Zulu fished on a 1/2ounce to 1 ounce round Jig head has proved to be my best drop shot lure with many species to its name now. The 2nd Dorado was caught on the Strike King Chartruese Zulu.
