As always - Captain James McDaniels has tackle recommendations for you.
 
Tackle recommendations:
 
1. Yellowtail/small bluefin: A flyline setup with good fresh 30lb monofilament matched with equal test flurocarbon and 1/0 to 2/0 Gamakatsu nautilus or Owner mutu circle hooks.
 
2. Medium size bluefin: A 40-50lb outfit with matching flurocarbon for sinker rig fishing using 4-6 ounce torpedo sinkers and heavy duty rubber bands. This rig is also great for 80-120 gram Daiwa Zakana jigs and Shimano colt snipers.
 
3. Big Bluefin: 60-80lb outfit with a two speed reel to fish the sinker rig and 180-250 gram knife jigs.
