Bluefin Tuna Fishing
Imagine yourself waking up at 3 a.m on a gorgeous early summer morning. You’ve got your rods, reels, and equipment loaded up in your truck. You’ve got your cooler packed with a few afternoon snacks and some drinks. You’re thoughts are already out on the ocean, free from the everyday stress of work and reality, and the hopes that this could be the day you hook the trophy fish, your giant. You drive down to the dock, load up all the equipment into the boat, and prepare for the long journey out into the open ocean. With a full tank of gas and your adrenaline pumping you fix your sights on the horizon and open up the throttle. Just as the sun is coming up over the horizon, you remember that following the sun leads to the land where giants roam the sea just below your feet. After an hour of steaming out into the open ocean your heart is pounding out of your chest with the first sighting of whales. You remember hearing that whales are the number one sign that bluefin tuna must be nearby. You see the fleet of boats, already with their spreads set and working the waters around the whales in hopes of hooking the big one. You now know that this is the spot. This is where you are going make your stand, set your spread, and wait for that sweet sound. The sound that keeps you going back, day-after-day, the sound of the drag screeching at a thousand miles per hour, it’s the sound of all of your patience and persistence culminating in a moment that is yours. It’s you versus the fish.
Hopefully, after reading that, you want to get out there and try bluefin tuna fishing for yourself. This website was created to help fisherman get a start toward the process behind catching bluefin tuna. A seminar with this information would cost well over $200. Bluefin basics will cover every step of bluefin tuna fishing from preparing the night before to enjoying the fruits of your labor in a meal that, in my opinion, is the best tasting fish in the sea. Bluefin tuna fishing is a rather complicated type of fishing which requires time and effort to master. The idea behind this website is to jump start fisherman and shave some time off the learning curve ahead.
