Learn The Best Jigging Techniques For Bluefin Tuna In San Diego!

[@FISHINGisApassionFL]

Alex is a beast working the jig. I’ve seen it first hand. Cannot wait to be back out west with my cousin from Massachusetts and my co worker. Keep up the great work guys!!

[@FishTheLegend]

Thank you! Looking forward to having y’all out again!

[@jadenlingasin1397]

Alex the man helped me land my first bluefin last season on speed jigging!

[@FishTheLegend]

Love it!

[@TylerKTanaka]

For anyone that wants to learn speed jigging, book a trip on the Legend and ask Alex to teach you; listen, learn and watch him at stops he gets to drop a line. He is a super talented angler (and an awesome deckhand too)! Great video guys & see you later this season.

[@FishTheLegend]

He’s definitely a great guy to learn from!!

[@FishTheLegend]

Glad you liked the video!

[@MichaelRauch-b6e]

Great video keep up the good work

[@FishTheLegend]

Thank you!

[@wildwilly160]

Great Info Guys...Hope Everyone Has A Great Season 🐟🐟

[@FishTheLegend]

Thank you! You too!

[@GorettyEnriquez]

Can you fish a sinker rig on a vertical jigging setup?

[@FishTheLegend]

@@GorettyEnriquez yep! It would be the same thing just shorter. As long as its a PE 4-8 or 6-10 youre good. Basically your 8-130 rigs.

[@jtuck682]

Steve and Alex, great video! Although, you guys are awesome, it can't be stressed enough that each angler MUST be physically prepared to fight their fish. You guys know all to well sometimes you find a biting school and all hell breaks lose, and help is not coming quickly, if at all.

[@FishTheLegend]

Very true! Better be prepared!

[@TylerKTanaka]

For future video - How does Alex rig his daytime and nighttime setups on each rod/reel combo? Braid rating connected to what pound mono/flouro… Solid braid to Bimini to wind-ons or FG to mono or fluoro to chain knot, etc. please go into rigging details, how does he tie to his jigs, what assist hooks does he use, what size hooks for each lure size, one on top, two assist on bottom, day vs night rigged differently, etc. 🙏🏻

[@FishTheLegend]

Definitely! Once we get some more boat footage we’ll be sure to cover this on a video.

[@JB31278]

What size assist hooks you guys using on the jigs?

[@JoshSuman]

Great video. How long of a topshot are you using?

[@FishTheLegend]

@@JoshSuman 100 ft

[@timeves6012]

Which jigging rods are you guys using?

[@FishTheLegend]

Avalon medium heavy

[@FISHINGisApassionFL]

Those are custom made rods

[@hookerkrewfishing1583]

united composite cxj line up from light to heavy built by avalon

[@EarlJuarez530]

How would you rig the following reels: Ocea 2500LD Ocea 4000 Line and rod set up? Thank you

[@FishTheLegend]

@@EarlJuarez530 Ld2500 65lb braid -60-80 fluoro, paired with PE 3-6 or 4-8 rod. 4000 80lb braid-60-100lb fluoro. Paired with PE 4-8 or 6-10 rod

[@WHEELSRODSADVENTURE]

Hi Steve and Alex, nice video guys. i just want to know since you guys are very familiar with reels. i have this small Avet mxj6/4. 2 speed. do you think its capable of landing a yellow tail or yellow fin? if not can you tell me what fish it can handle? thanks…

[@FishTheLegend]

Definitely! Could handle fish to about 40 lbs

[@nolanoshiro2083]

you all are putting out some entertaining content during the slow season. love the enthusiasm of Alex passion for this topic. BTW what reel are you using on your medium setup??

[@FishTheLegend]

Saltiga 55 jp for med heavy( mid grade setup) saltiga 55 2 speed for XH setup. Glad you’re enjoying the content!!

[@Lucaslikestofish]

when i have fast jigged before, my bottom hooks get caught on my line, how do i prevent that?

[@FishTheLegend]

@@Lucaslikestofish Generally in that case you’re over pumping your jig. You probably pumped too hard and didn’t pick up enough slack in the line thus blowing out your jig. Shorter pumps and more speed should fix it!

[@CalicoChris]

Great comtent.

[@SimonMajorCraft]

We'll have to hook it up with some Major Craft Tungsten jigs to add into the mix

[@FishTheLegend]

@@SimonMajorCraft we’d love to! We’ve heard nothing but good things about tungsten jigs! Can you email us at [e-mail]?

[@joeshmoe3949]

What rods are you using in the video?

[@FishTheLegend]

The one dropping a jig in water is XH Avaalon Spj600MH

[@TomHuynh-m3t]

What's the line rating for slow jigging rod?

[@FishTheLegend]

The medium light he runs 65 braid to either 40 or 60# fluoro. The medium heavy 80# braid to 60 or 80# fluoro. Extra heavy is going to be 100-150 fluoro tied to an FG knot.

[@barclaysauers255]

Rods ok, reels yea, jigs I get it. Please tell me "WHAT IS THE BEST OR OPTIONS FOR YOUR TERMINAL KNOT? Please reply.

[@fishsandiego9043]

Double San Diego works great

[@FishTheLegend]

Terminal knots of choice for H&M: Mono-fluorocarbon (like tying leader to top shot) is Seaguar knot Braid-mono/fluoro (like braid to top shot or leader) Line(any type)-hook/jig we prefer the Sd jam knot for inshore and lighter applications and the double Sd jam knot for offshore and big tuna applications. All knots tie well to about 150ish on mono and 100ish on fluoro. Above that we tend to crimp things

[@MrJoebn3]

See ya Fri morning and give it a try.

[@PapaJohn1969]

Just a heads up, the pole is twisted. I caught it the instant you had the pole. Thanks for sharing.

[@FishTheLegend]

It’s actually acid wrapped. We talk about the advantages of that style rod in the video. Glad you liked the content!

[@WHEELSRODSADVENTURE]

very nice video. is the Avet mxj 6/4. capable to land yellow fin? i think max drag is just 14 lb

[@ButcherisFalse]

Nope..2 speed Shimano Speedmaster on a Terez 6'6x or xx heavy is my choice...lol hell with a single speed and mh rod..great info though

[@FishTheLegend]

@@ButcherisFalse glad you enjoyed the video!
