June is the start of the tuna season, although as I pen this forecast, the tunas are already showing up. There has also been some marlin in the mix, as well as still a few mahi. The birds are here, so that is the sign the tunas are around. We’re seeing lots of skipjacks and blackfin tunas, so time to break out the light tackle and have a blast.

With perfect weather usually this time of the year, the bite should be on, or should I say hot! 

So get those arms in shape, let’s go tackle these arm busting fish on the Reel Deal here offshore Nassau/Paradise Island.
