AboutKit Belen Expertise I can help with tackle making questionsinshore/offshore fishing from trolling,drifting, bottom fishing,light to heavy stand up style fishing, SoCAl iron, japanese vertical jigging,surf/shore/rock fishing...done it all!!!
Been a Pro at one time and I used to produce my own lures for trolling and I tie my own jigs and flies as well. More importantly, I'm always glad to help.
Experience I was a professional guide and a tackle manufacturer, was taken under the wing of a retaired marlin skipper who showed me the ropes and later joined the tournament circuit in my country.
I have put those on hold to pursue a career in the corporate world, but I still fish regularly and make my own lures and flies...I get the chance to travel the world and fish all around. I have experience on making the most out of fishing situations like when you have to fish on boats that are not designed for sportfishing. I generally make things challenging just to see how things tick, along the way, you would be amazed at what you learn.
Education/Credentials I hold a Marketing Degree and am currently work for a hotel company in the eMarketing and Communications field, here in Dubai, UAE.
I had undergraduate studies in Business Administration, Psychology and Economics.
Question We were fly lining sardines thirty miles out to sea for albacore. The Captain was unhappy about the low amount caught. He kept saying, " Change your bait. They are deep under the boat." How do you get the sardine to go deep under the boat when fly lining?
Answer Hi Andrew, Thanks for asking.
You can use rubber-core sinkers and splitshots. Jigheads can be used as well, nose hook the fish. the lighter your weight, the better.
you could also "peg" an egg sinker a few feet above your hook, run a rubber band through the hole of the egg sinker and use that to tie on to your line...tie it in an overhand knot, it should hold until you reach the level of the fish, then let it sit there. when the fish grabs the bait, the sinker falls off.
