Tuna season is in full swing and the weather is cooperating, making for great days out on the water. August should be even better this year, as the bigger yellowfin tuna are a little late, although we are getting a few already. The birds are still out there in good numbers and that’s the sign that these fish are around. The tuna are feeding very well and pushing the bait up for the birds to feast on. These arm busters can be a handful. When you get a nice one hooked up, you can be in for quite a battle. We have seen some fish in the 70-pound-plus range and breaking off some that are even bigger. We are also still catching blackfin and skipjack tunas, and although they might be a little smaller, they still can give you one heck of a fight. Pound for pound they are excellent fighters on light tackle. Lures and bait are still the choice of most of the fisherman around here and it produces a good number of fish for their guests. If youâre in for a good arm busting, come on down to Nassau/Paradise Island and get out on the Reel Deal to get in on your share of the fun.
