      Introduction

      In the years since The Fisherman ceased publication of the Maryland/Mid-Atlantic edition, I’ve had countless anglers come up to me at fishing shows and seminars, and express how much they wish they could get all of those how-to/where-to articles I used to write for the magazine. I’ve also hear a lot of folks say that they really miss the publication, and how they used to look forward to it coming in the mail every week. With this new series of e-books I’m hoping to at least partially fill that void. Organizing those older articles by target species of fish and tactics, I put together the best of them, updated the information wherever possible, and added several new articles so there would be some fresh and interesting information no matter how good your memory is.

      I’ve priced this e-guide at just $6.99 each, or about the cost of a few editions of The Fisherman before they shut it down. The Fisherman used to have four or five features per edition and this guide includes 15 articles, so I hope you’ll feel the price is more than fair. And remember, if you enjoy one or more and want to get some of my other books which are printed in hard-copy, you can always visit Schifferbooks.com or Amazon. Enjoy – and catch ‘em up!!!

      Big Tease

      Small Boat Offshore Trolling Tactics

      Does it seem like the big sportfishers always come back to the dock with more fish than the small, trailerable boats have in the box? Sure it does—those guys on the 50-footers have some serious advantages over you and I in our center console and cuddy cabin boats. But that doesn’t mean you can’t hang with the big dogs when you’re hunting tuna, billfish and other pelagics. Modern teasers give the little guy the ability to draw in fish just like the diesel boats, if you know which to run, when to run them, and how to use them to your best advantage.

      Under The Gun

      Fact number one: well-tuned inboard diesels raise more fish than outboard boats do. Some will disagree with this assertion, but traditional thinking and my own experience has convinced me—outboard boats simply do not draw fish up to the baits as often or as effectively as diesel boats. Fact number two: With their large, stable cockpits, the big boat guys can pull pretty much whatever they want to. An even dozen baits, multiple spreader bars and birds, lures of every color, you name it and those guys have them onboard. But anglers on smaller boats don’t have the room to stow all this stuff, much less deploy it. Fact number three: With their flybridges and big outriggers, large sportfishers have better visibility, will experience fewer tangles, and can make tighter turns. Fact number four: If you own a million dollar sportfish, you don’t blink at the cost of all this gear. But for the rest of us, one of every kind of teaser and wheelbarrows full of lures and skirts might equal our total fuel cost for an entire season. Consider all these factors, and it’s clear that we’re going to have to use brains, not brawn, to level the playing field.

      First, let’s tackle fact number one. Not much we can do about the difference between diesels and outboards, is there? No, but we can still turn out eggbeater boat into a fish-attracting magnet. The use of teasers and spreader bars is key. Any boat, no matter how small, outriggers or none, can pull a single sub-surface teaser off of a stern cleat while dragging a single spreader bar on the other side. For the sub-surface teaser, an excellent choice is a holographic Stripteaser. These roll up to the size of a four-arm spreader bar for easy stowage—that takes care of fact number two, as well--and run from 33-fish teasers (about $100) to six-arm, 198-fish models ($500). Rig a two pound sash weight in front of the teaser to keep the rig in the water, pull the line from a stern cleat, and it will look like a real school of fish is trailing 20’ behind your boat at all times. This type of teaser is designed to attract billfish and it’s very effective for this task. Yellowfin tuna, however, also come to a Striptease in droves. Run a naked ballyhoo about five feet behind the teaser, and a second naked ‘hoo on your short rigger clip on the same side of the boat. Often, yellowfin will pile onto these baits. Another sub-surface
