Hey Brad, the fishin is hot up here, big bluefin, yellowfin, dolphin, some makos, big knotheads, tautog, as well as bigger rockfish are starting to show up. (Waiting on John R to push em our way). Trailer her up and make the ride north, you wont be bored. If you want some of that german brew though, you will have to bring your own!!!

Brad,
Hopefully you AND Hoover will be drinking that German brew together! [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] Hows the pooch doing?

Eins, Zwei, Drei, Zufa! Ein PROZIT!

Miss bavarian beer [img]images/icons/frown.gif[/img] ... Rather have the 5 inches of rain than the 20 degree, 25 knot wind I'm debating to fish over this weekend. The snot / SaltH2O mix freezes inside the nose and cracks the skin around the edges but last best shot at a FIFTY!!!

People are making a mint off of mojo's and parachute rigs, getting in the 20 to 30 dollar range for the 'chutes which dont really last that long. The mojo's are what really do the job.from 16 to 40 oz's depending on the water depth and chartuese tails.We use them on three ways and I like to fish a bunker spoon on the long end. (green drones also work real well.) The chartuese colors are the real deal for the big rockfish around here. Not sure if you know what Im talking about, I think they are more a local thing but they sure catch fish. The parachutes are like sea witches on steroids.

parachute

mojo's link- swede's is a local guy buy he sells a lot of stuff- they call the one in the top picture a mojo but I consider that to be more of a parachute. I'll see if I can find a better picture of one.

Miles,
Do you jig the mojo like a parachute? Also, are you attaching them to umbrella rigs, or just using them individually? I've never seen a setup like that, must be a local thing like you mention. Might be worth trying up here.

Miles Offshore · #9 11-07-2003, 04:22 PM

Hey Scott, we fish them on a three way. Use a short leader for the mojo~2 or 3 ft, a long leader 10 to 15 ft for the parachute,which I like the big spoon on instead of the chute most of the time. We will mostly just slow troll em, wire is the best, but shallower water you can bottom bounce but it is not nesesary. They really work well and the pictures dont really do them justice as far as the size goes. You can probably see that the mojo itself is really nothing more than a big inline sinker powder coated green or whatever with eyes and a big shad/swimming tail. Hope this helps- they are the real deal down here, or up here for Brad.

Miles Offshore · #10 11-07-2003, 04:27 PM

Oh, umbrella rigs will work with the parachutes also, but I dont pull them much. If I do the green #4 drone is the ticket for me. You need to try them-Im pretty sure you will like them, after all the rockfish you guys catch are the same ones(except for the resident fish) we are getting ready to catch soon here hopefully!!!

My typical spread will be a mojo on wire down the center , 2 planers off each stern corner (#4's with rapala super shad raps pretty close to the boat- no more than 20 ft of line plus 15 ft of leader. Outside long I like to run inlines on each side , two different sizes, 20 ft leaders(100,125 lb test) with maybe an umbrella on one side and another big spoon,parachute etc on the other side. I know yo7u didnt ask for all that but i thought it might give you a perspective on the way we do it here. How about you guys??
