It’s tuna time! My last Bahama fishing trip proved to me that the annual migration of tunas is on. We caught many schooling blackfin and yellowfin tunas. The blue marlins are always following the tunas. Time to break out your heavier equipment and keep your eyes open for flocks of birds following the schools of tuna. Also watch for the giant bluefin tuna pushing water heading north. For this type of action, I use cedar plugs and various colors of lures. Slow the troll down to seven-to-eight knots and circle around the birds, instead of through them, which drives the tunas down. Tune your radar in to two-to-three miles to find the flocks of birds. If you don’t have radar, use your binoculars in the tuna tower if you have one.
See you on the rip. Catch ‘em up!
