Morgan Promnitz shares an epic day of SoCal surface foaming tuna action using the Charter Grade Popper. In this video he covers multiple retrieve styles for fishing the popper and his favorite spinning and conventional gear setups.

Approach:

1. Once surface activity has been located, slowly motor to the outside edge of the feeding area, making sure to quietly approach the school.

2. Make a long cast towards the outside edge of the surface activity.

3. Use a slow, sharp twitching motion for surface popping action. Utilize occasional 5-10 second pauses for finicky fish.

Tips:

1. The clear popper is a top choice when fish are ultra finicky, work the popper very slow across the surface feed.

2. Work the popper softly and with long pauses when the bite is tough.

3. Downsize your offering to the 5.5" popper when micro-forage is present.
