The following is a brief overview of a typical Kenyan set-up: Lures - These typically are around 8 inch chugger types with either purple/black, blue/white colour combinations. A strip bait is usually added such as a squid or a belly flap from a small tuna. Two hook rigs are preferred, with the hooks offset typically 60 or 90 degrees depending on individual choice. Light sticks are attached to the trace approximately 3.5 m above the lure, and are attached so they do not slide up or down the trace. Using rubber bands at each end of the light stick is a good securing method.
Lure Pattern - The most common set-up involves running 4 lures. This set-up is made up of one flailing, one down rigger, and one lure off each rigger. The rigger lures are placed some distance behind the boat. On the non-down rigger lures weights are sometimes added so the lure runs below the surface. The down rigger lure is typically set around 30-40m deep. Trolling Speeds - These are typically between 3-5 knots and it's interesting to note is that bright nights are not favoured. On these nights the down rigger lure is put as deep as possible. Likely areas with structure are then slow trolled with either all or most of the boats lights turned off until after hookup. Tackle - Kenyan Broadbill tend to be on average smaller than their counterparts in New Zealand and are targeted on 15 and 24kg tackle with trace material of 100-150kg. For anglers targeting powerful Broadbill over 150kg, the above tackle requirements are generally insufficient and most use a 37kg chair outfit with two-speed reel. Traces of 200-300kg or even larger are the norm and even with this tackle, lengthy battles can be expected. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Website mancing-l at http://www.MancingL.com --> Fishing information, online chat, forum discusion, clasifiedads, etc MancingL Archive at http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] Fishing@Indonesia a MancingL sharing picture forum at http://communities.msn.com/FishingIndonesia Millis ini terselengara berkat dukungan PT.
