Deep water techniques with tui chub patterns “Olive and White as well as Purple and Black” have been bending rods. Fishing two flies on a tag has been the norm.

Electronics have been a big key to locating and staying with the Tui Chubs and Cutthroats

The bites, grabs, takes have been technical but once you get the “feel for it”…….

The fish are fired up and when you hook em, keep a bend in the rod and hold on for a ride. Don’t fish less then 15lb floro for your leader. They are not heavily leader shy at this time. Some days 20lb floro gets bit just as good as 15lb floro. We like to use Seaguar Yellow label Invizx for most applications at Pyramid.

It’s all in the feel, you feel the tui Chubs hitting your line and then you feel a little different bump. That means go time, reel until your rod is bent. Yup I just repeated myself. Get the point. Lots of fish are missed but when it all comes together…..

What beach should I hit ? That is the magic question and depends on where the baitfish are holding. Try the deeper beaches that has deep water access close to shore. You will see anglers grouped together on the water. Don’t be afraid to search out new areas. If you see birds on the water, go give the area a try. Birds are not there for no reason.

If fishing feels like the action is slow, you let your guard down. You have been bit more then you think.

Remember the little bumps I was talking about ? Was that a Tui Chub or a 20 lber ?
