Answer
Chunking drifts cut bait over offshore humps and canyon edges where tuna feed—patience and chum lines dominate. Trolling spreads of ballyhoo, squid chains, and skirted lures cover water faster when fish are scattered on weed lines or temperature breaks. Captains switch tactics with sonar marks and fleet intel on the radio.
