Guaranteed Fish at the Islamorada Hump

These last two weeks, the Tuna bite at the Hump has been a GUARANTEE. It seems like they are there to stay. The Bite has been excellent. They have been hitting the troll. What seems to work effectively are small squids or small feathers. The color does not seem to be important but the speed of the troll does. We troll slow, between 3.5 to 4.5 kts. Its a no brainer really. If you find the birds working you have the tuna under them. Trolling these small baits near the birds and slow will get great results. The bite at the bottom in deeper waters has improved in the last month. There have been big Grouper such as Yellow Edge and Wreckfish hitting the chicken rig lined up with whole squids at about 550ft. to 600ft.
