• Local Knowledge S4:E11...
Ali Hussainy of Local Knowledge is a fan of large, locally caught flying fish as a bait for big San Diego bluefin tuna that have everyone amped up about San Diego fishing in the last few years. "Why the tuna go crazy over these baits, I have no idea," said Ali. "We can offer up all types of lures and baits to the bluefin when they are being picky, but serve them up this giant flying fish on the surface and they have to have it."

We had a lot of comments and questions on this particular rig. And we were happy to answer them through our video. Let us know what other how to video you want to see next !

Local Knowledge Fishing Show can you just troll a flyer or is a kite needed? Never done it so no clue how to use a kite.
Local Knowledge Fishing Show also has anyone tried mounting some fake wings to a frozen Mack to mimic a flyer? If that would work, much more affordable than $30 a shot.
Lincoln Ferraresi we always fly them off the kite because the will sink out and get torn up if you just troll them.
Lincoln Ferraresi we considered doing it with a mullet but never did. These baits are expensive but worth it for sure.
Local Knowledge Fishing Show can you do one of these instructional videos for the helium balloon/dead flyer rig???
No lie I've searched for probly 3 years to find a decent way to rig a flying fish thank you thank you thank you
Hope this helps you catch a big Bluefin!
Blue, yellow, bull dolphin, blues aren't really a target in central Florida, but I like your thinking!
Awesome video guys. Thanks for passing on the knowledge. Much appreciated!!!
Thanks for taking a look!
Your videos are making me spend a lot of money on fishing gear and that's better than the alternatives!!! Thanks.
that's the idea! Now go catch one and report back.
Incredible way to rig and fish a bait!
Thank you sir!
Local Knowledge Fishing Show where do you find the majority of these fish are hooked with that rigging setup? Love the fact that this method allows you to run that insanely high test fluoro and eliminates those heart breaking chaff offs...whether it’s the teeth or the tail, it must give you piece of mind!
Great Video Ali! Thanks for listening to our comments....much appreciated
No problem. Our pleasure ! let us know what video you want to see next
Just an awsome video. Excellent instructions I will use. Thank you
Thank you! thats what we intend for this video. Glad it helps
Thanks Ali & Crew. Love the content!
Thanks for watching! We can't do it without you guys.
Great video Ali. Thanks for taking the time to put it together. Went out last week, but the zone (SCI) was closed, so we never got to put the lesson into action.
Mike P next time!
Next level fly fishing 😂
You know it!
We were talking about you at Hogan's in Dana Point today. Thanks for all these awesome videos!
So cool!
Awesome video ! Thank you guys, i want to try kite fishing in Mediterranee this year with my guests and i think your videos are the most explicative we can found on CZcams ! You're my favorite, i'll be waiting for the next Kite fishing video ! ;)
Keep us posted. We are SURE it will work.
Awsome video. Love the walk through. Ive got to get over to that coast to catch me one of those.
Appreciate it! stay tuned for more how to videos like this. You got to come here this year. We dont know how long the big blues will stay here for
Need to try this in Barbados for big wahoo.
I bet that would work. Appreciate the watch
Thanks much, Ali. Excellent tutorial... keep it up.
Glad it helped!
Awesome stuff as always dude!!
Thank you sir!
Good job on the rigging keep up the tips because I just learned something
TONY JOHNSON stoked you enjoyed it!
Great video! You got right to the point. Heading out on the Islander for a 3.5 day, I hope we get to play with the kite. Thank you. How about a hollow braid to solid braid connection? Also do a knot video on your boat out fishing, these other guys always do their knots from their work bench in their garage, Show us how you tie knots a sea.
Glad it was helpful! We'll keep your other comments in mind.
Bad ass video even tho I may never use this rig because I don’t have the gear and a boat it was a bad ass video 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
TheBrofishers more knowledge = more fish no matter how you fish.
Exactly knowledge is knowledge it’s always good to know
Outstanding video guys!
Roger thanks! 🙏
Amazing video, thank you
Glad you liked it!
Flying fish best bait fish..its odour is last and strong as well..we catched them at night and straight out fishing at dawn..plenty of tuna and barracudas to feed the whole community🤙🏾
We agree!
Great information, will try it on the East coast out of Morehead City NC and let you know how it does... Seem like it would work on YF's and Big Bulls as well..
It will work! Report back!
You guys mentioned that you wanted to hear what we are interested in. I would appreciate a tutorial on Satellite chloro, sea surface and even sub surface temperature charts. How do you guys use a set of tools like ripcharts or terra fin?
Love your Show!
IT's coming! We have partnered with www.SatFish.com and we will make a few videos to explain how to get the most out of these services.
Cool video! I'd appreciate a tutorial video on setting up the kite rig and everything with it, so someone who just got the kite reel, kite, kite clip, flying fish and heavy setup knows what to do when going out to use them for the first time.
We will try and conjure something of setting up a kite rig
Thank you it is a great video! Would i be able to do this with a 21 foot deep V center console?
Early in the season, the fish are usually withing 40 miles of the dock. Watch the weather and plan ahead for safety and you'll be fine.
ya until ur release clip doesnt open, :P many of times i have had to pop the clip after we get to it from it not opening if its too tight :D
Happens for sure depending on the angle the fish takes but if you keep the line tight you can easily release the clip by hand. The tight clip is good for making sure you get multiple opportunities at bites if they miss.
What are you using for an indicator? Looks like a plastic streamer? is it just tied to the line or is there an attachment point?
Plastic streamer is correct. It's tied to the loop in the windon so It can't slip.
i see on your rigs end you crimped a loop, so i am a assuming you then attach the loop to a snap swivel attached to your main line?
Correct. Allows for fast bait changes to hook multiple fish.
Hi love your videos , where can I get info about your charter trips ?
Odysseysportfishing.com for florida. Ali doesn’t offer charters in San Diego.
When flying this flying fish, at what speed do we drive the boat when the flying fish is out? also, how many yard behind the boat do we need to have the fish skipping the surface?
The bait is suspended from a kite and we either drift it or slow walk it at 2-3 kts. Good luck!
IMO one of the most exciting thing is to watch a Mahi/Dorado inhale a flying fish when they finally alight on the surface of the water. Can't wait to see that with some tuna. Very effective technique !!! BOL / Thanks...
John Hollis we agree! The big tuna inhaling a flyer is pretty insane as well.
This is a really good idea I will definitely going to do same thing thanks for your video can you please tell me about wahoo also be the same thing
Thanks for watching.
Nice . I love This.
Glad you like it!
I have to get on this kite fishing.. I have all the gear.. the kite etc etc ..the boat .. the range.. need to get San Clemente Island back side.. when it is not closed.. also I need bigger and more gaffs!
We wish you luck buddy! Share your future catch with us !
Go with Morita Custom Gaffs they are AWESOME!
HighLife Action Sports Videos Take me with you ❤️
what size crimps and manufaucter please do you use.
Crimps must be sized to match the leader. We like Momoi aluminum crimps.
I've had blue fins come off the bottom in 45 Fhathoms of water to hit a yozure lure ,so they got incredible eyesight ,o ya it was 124 inches dressed 860 lbs off sanguine island gulf of Maine FV/ rise an shine know who iam am
That's incredible. We have seen them come up 150' to eat the flyer. No doubt they have better eyes than we give them credit for.
More fish plz
Will do!
Once you slide your dead flying fish the distance you want, do you leave the flying fish lying flat on the surface until you get a bite or are you constantly working it by retrieving and letting it out? Also, do you usually troll the yummee until you mark fish or foamers and then let out the frozen flying fish?
WE are usually sending it out and retrieving it to keep motion on the bait. We will also walk the bait around at about 2kts. The little bit of motion definitely adds up to more/quicker bites.
if you added fake wings on a mullet would the tuna go for it
We have wondered the same thing and I'd guess yes!
Hey would you think a Penn Fathom 60ld2 would be capable to catch a big bluefin like you guys caught?
The 60LD2 has more than enough power to catch a 200# tuna. The problem is, it doesn't have enough line capacity. When you let the kite out you're paying out 100-200 yards of line to get it up and away from the boat. While it will work, you will be low on line at the hook up. We really feel the best tool for kite fishing is our 50VISX reels. We have caught dozens of fish without any line or performance issues.
Great Video! Is there any way to fish this bait from a sport fishing group boat? Say with 20 anglers. I’d love to try but I don’t have access to a private charter. Thanks.
Yep. Most sport boats will have a kite rig ready and waiting for anglers. Ask before you book.
Local Knowledge Fishing Show, Thanks!
I don't even know how the kite rig actually works. Like how do you keep the bait from flying away?
The kite keeps the bait on the surface and allows us to get the bait away from the boat. The mainline is suspended from clip on the kite line. The clip carries the bait out with the kite and break free when you get a bite.
I have a talica 25 that I’m going to set up for this type of fishing what pound braid should I spool the reel with 100? 120?
I'd suggest 80# braid and as much of it as you can get on the spool. We usually target big fish with this technique and a TAC25 is right on the border line of being too light. We are normally using 30w or 50w reels for this technique. You can get it done, just be ready to chase that fish if needed.
Local Knowledge Fishing Show sweet thanks! One last question. I’ve seen people fly just a balloon. If I were to do that on a second setup how far above the flier would you attach the balloon? Like 20-50ft?
@@RS1396. About 40' give or take. We use this as a last resort in really, really light wind. Those balloons cost about $35 each.
What is the best way to connect the indicator ribbon to the line?
if you are using light marking plastic just tie it to the loop in the braid where it meets the windon. If using a duct tape style leader, we use a snap swivel and a rubber band and attach at the same point.
How high above the water do you run your indicator?
We're not gunna say it doesn't work because well.. it works! hahaha
No arguments here!
I'd like to see it work
Alan Thompson check out season 4, episode 11 . It worked in a big way.
have you ever just used the ballon by itself?
Yes. In very low wind conditions.
Tried it on yellowfin?
Yup. They love them.
How long will Tuna be here in SoCal??
Scottie Ernst we really don’t know how long the big ones will be here. We try to get out and chase them as much as possible for that reason.
Most guys don't give out info like this.
Mark Bingham we want everyone to catch more fish. Hope it helps.
Get some action shots with drones and rigged flyers
Alan Thompson see above. 😄
😔😔
Why so sad?
2 bluefin downvoted this video
haha. Probably more than 2! Thanks for watching. Please be sure to subscribe.
