Reel In The Massive Bluefin Tuna Fish On Key West Fishing Charters For Big Game

Bluefin tuna eat herring, whiting, mackerel, flying fish and mullet. They'll also eat squid, eels, and crabs. You may attract the tuna with cost-free chunks of bait (not on hooks). Just throw a bunch of fish chunks available. Watch how quickly they sink. You need your bait to mimick the cost-free chunks. Frozen chunks will sink slower. Tuna bite fairly very easily so it shouldn't be too hard to convince them that its feeding time. They'll bite on cut bait fairly readily.



Initial, you genuinely want a For tackle you're going to need to have a genuine huge glass rod as well as a heavy reel, a 50 to a 130. On smaller boats you'll desire to maintain your tackle just a little smaller. You'll use 100 to 200 lb. test line (use about a 200' 200 lb. wind on leader at the end of one's line) as well as a 4' to 8' 600 lb. leader on a 400 lb. (+/-) ball bearing swivel. Be sure you've got at the very least 500 yards of line on the reel. You'll use a 10/0 to 12/0 hook. The bigger hook will sink the bait quicker so you might desire to use some tricks to keep it floating. Many people will stuff styrofoam into the bait fish to help float it a bit. You'll desire to set the drag somewhere in between 35 and 50 lbs. Commonly, maintain it lighter until you're within the fight, then tighten it down some.



When the fish strikes he'll hit it fairly difficult. Be sure you're harnessed into a high quality fighting chair. You may attempt to pull the rod and in case you can, you missed. Back up and try once more. This fish might be as huge as a thousand pounds and swim as quickly as 40 mph. The top strategy to set the hook would be to floor the boat! Once you hook him, he'll dive as deep as a thousand feet. He can pull you appropriate out in the chair, into the deep and drown you; and he'll do it so quickly you won't know what hit you! He'll burn 200 yards or extra of line off your reel the very first couple occasions he runs. Right after that just back the boat up appropriate over leading of him.



You may tighten down your drag and prepare for about a 2 hour difficult fight or let him run and prepare to fight him all day. You might feel the 2 hour alternative is superior but pay attention towards the phrase 'hard fight'.



Use the boat to fight the fish, not your back. Don't attempt to put the boat at a 45 degree angle and pull him to tucker him out, it won't function. Drive the boat appropriate over leading of him, put the reel in low gear and pull his nose straight up. He'll commence spinning. The boat captain wants to make sure he doesn't spin under the boat or snag the line up within the props. It is best to have the ability to pull him appropriate up to the boat a great deal less difficult with this method.



Acquiring him to shore is one more battle altogether. If he's less than 300 lb. you may almost certainly gaff him and drag him into the boat. If he's bigger you're gonna need to have a winch.
