Yeh I have casted little hard body jigs in the the mass and wind fast. Works for skippys, kahawai and trevally too.
Best way to catch them trolling we found is two shortish hand line just where the prop wash stops and have a section of bungy in line with just a feathery tuna lure. Bungy keeps them hooked and sets the hook. When it's going really good two guys can be hauling them in hand over fist.
