A professional service to commercial tuna trollers in particular, assessing and advising on individual catching operations and potential vessel development lifting catch rates and workability of vessel operations.
With the backing of a lifetime of unique real-time experience and a deep interest in individual fishing vessel catching performances, Rodney Davidson has pulled together a professional consultancy service to individual and fleet vessel owners tuna trolling.
A true waterman starting with competitive swimming at an early age, surfing (and one of the few first to start building surfboards in New Zealand in the early '60s) and mixing this in with a full boat building apprenticeship at the time. This leading into the building and development of my own trolling fishing vessels and later to the design of specialised tuna trolling fishing vessels.
A good knowledge of individual vessel electrical discharges affecting catch/strike rates and individual vessel above and below water acoustics and vessel harmonics affecting catch and strike rates.
Tuna trolling choices and trolling lure individual placement to maximise catch rates. Vessel lure teaser systems together with catching lures and smooth retrieval to the vessel etc. Fluorocarbon leaders/hooks.
