I think so as well. Instagram is the new medium to post a "report" or at least a photo of the fish. I still enjoy a written report.

As for the jigs (both speed and slow jigs), the tuna have been eating them, but it seems to be better in the dawn/dusk hours. In this instance I was fishing a 100g chrome zakana and an 80g colt sniper, letting it free fall through the bait and then jigging it up semi yo-yo style. I didnt bring dedicated slow pitch gear or even try my leaf style jigs because per a buddy of mine who works on one of the sport boats, the "colt sniper" style jigs were the ticket all last week.
