[dropcap]I[/dropcap]t’s tuna time. Slow down the wahoo troll, use smaller lures and more surface baits.
My favorite lure colors for tunas is green, yellow, and pink resembling a wounded, bleeding dolphin. Also blue and white, which looks like flying fish to the tunas. For yellowfin and blackfin tuna, 50-pound tackle is fine but if you see giant bluefins, break out your 80s and 130s. By using the larger tackle, you can help prevent sharks eating the giant bluefin by releasing them faster. While trolling these color lures, expect some large mahi and you will still find the much sought after wahoo. The wind should start to drop out as the cold fronts decrease, then you can also get back to some bottom fishing.
Hope to see you out there.
Catch ‘em up.
