Tuna Bait

[Bart_Man]

I've heard that a good percentage of the Tuner's being caught on the ocean front are biting Stripper baits but, what seems to be working best? Most people I've spoken with are recommending somthing like an islander with a bull ballyhoo trailer. Recommendations?

I can tell you from experience the best baits to catch roving band of horny tuner's would be stripper baits!!! However, right now most are being caught down around the va/nc line with either large striper trolling baits such as 9 & 12 inch shads on mojo's or parachutes or the classic tuna trolling rigs islanders, etc.

Listen to Tony...he is THE MAN on stripper baits.

I wouldn't lip a stripper! They don't look very clean!
