NOT GETTING YOUR SHARE
OF STRIKES FOR TIME SPENT ON THE OCEAN?
( FULLY BOOKED FOR 2007 - 2008. SORRY! )
Some sport fishing vessels consistently catch more fish and have more strikes
than other vessels for hours spent on the water. In a competition situation
always take the major share of the prizes and prestige.
It is, in most cases, JUST the boat of course! Each vessel has its own
combination of signature underwater sounds and vibrations that can attract the
near target fish to investigate the ' positive ' moving boat FAD.
Have NO attraction to near target fish, or again in many
cases, the vessel's out of sync harmonics may repel fish as though an invisible
' negative ' force field situation surrounds the vessel.
No matter how much money a vessel has cost or the most expensive lures
trolled, your vessels strike rate will always be low, relative to a
knowledgeably well tuned vessel.
CV of VESSELS WORKED ON SINCE 2006
You know that there is more than something in it when the professionals
choose to come to Whangaroa for a vessel tune up pre 2006 / 2007 Albacore
season
FV SEAFORT from Timaru, South
Island, New Zealand.
In this case a rebuilt RSW fish room and culminating in a ten day early season
exploratory trip offshore out to the two hundred mile limit. Light, hard
fishing which really tested the line set up for effectiveness and allowed time
to tune the catching gear to the maximum.
CLIENTS PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL ASSOCIATION WITH FV SEAFORT AND THE OWNER RICHARD PRENTICE IS TERMINATED AT THE CESESSION OF THE 2008 ALBACORE SEASON DUE TO THE OWNERS FAILURE TO ABIDE BY THE TERMS OF BLACK ART CATCH TUNING CONTRACT. THIS VESSEL IS ' BLACK LISTED '
FV CAROLINE, A six day trip over to the West coast on Albacore tuna
trolling. A 75% catch rate improvement on this vessel off the port side only (
this vessel carries a permanent stabilizer arm ( port side ) at sea. Much
turbulence comes off this which needed to be sussed and worked into as part of
the catching system off this side.
Kansai just continues to get hotter as a catching unit which is very
gratifying as the vessel tuning continues there!
All the same principals apply to your recreational game fishing vessel in
catch tuning for game fish, so if you do want the best out of your own vessel,
then book time with ' Black Art Vessel Catch Tuning'
