Does anybody have any preferences as to which tuna rigs are best right now? If so, which ones?

Horn Mountain has been pretty good lately. The other 4 closer ones have been covered with sharks and tuna.

I prefer chunking and live baiting to trolling for tuna, however trolling does have its place and you just have to feel it out each time you are out there.

Your best bet for a bill would be south of Ram, which would lead you to Horn Mt. and beyond. But there are billfish caught at those rigs.

I am looking at heading to the Mars rig and others near it. Have you heard anything about those recently?
